Commander 1'eary is still at liattl. Harbor. He Is making slow progivHti toutliward toward North Sydney, Nova Scotia, wheneo ho will proceed to American ports. No further word has come from him to any ipmrtcr concerning the momentous controversy which has amused F.urope and America by his challi-iigu of Cook's claim. Dr. Cook is still at Copeuliag u, Oo center of marked attraction from dig nitaries of the olllclul and wl.-nllNV world, but with diminished prestige owing to the cloud overcasting hl glory since I'eary's announcement and his drastic challenge of Cmik's exploit. What corroborative data there Is on which two explorers base their posi tions It Is still withheld, by Cook be cause of his determination to bid hlv own time In presenting his evidence, and by I'enry because he Is still be yond the range of communication and detailed knowledge of thu various claims and conflicts. Foreign comment ns expressed by London and other metropolitan Jour nals, while still highly wrought with mlngb-d enthusiasm and doubt, in be ginning to be tinged with flippancy and scorn. The trend of this foreign comment appears to In- against Cook. Concerning Peary, the foreign attitude appears to be one of accepting without question his announcement of teach ing the pole. "Judgment Against Cook by raiilt.M London. Bept. . "Convincing evi dence" Is the verdict of the nfternoon pupers of London on the brief sum mary of Commander Peary's voyage to the north pole, published this morning. "There is no possibility of doubt with regard to this narrative." comments the Westminster Gazette, which adds: "Peary has actually reached the pole and he seems to have taken the usual precaution of having all his work verified as he advnnced." The Pall Mall Ousette says: "We have now a categorical and credible narrative from one explorer and no attempt at substantiation from the other. In view of Dr. Cork's un necessary reticence, we may fairly place his claim aside. Judgment for the present goes against him by de fault" - " ""iTIBI Copenhagen, Bept. .

In view of tin fact that Peary haa been operating under the directions of the survey. It will become the duty of that Institu tion to compute hla notes without re quest from any one, and Acting Su perintendent Perkins said today that If Dr. Cook should so .desire the sur vey would go over his papers also. Kays Peary Una II Proof. Dresden, Sept. . Prof. Helm, or the technical university of Dresden, Is understood to have received a tele gram from Herbert 1 Krldgman, sec retory of the Peary Arctic club, to the effect that Commander Peary Is bring ing home thorough proofs to refute Dr .Conk's narrative. Peary also has with him an eye witness who will tes tify that Cook did not make the long loiirnev he described and that his scientific equipment did not contain n Artificial horizon with which to take bearings.1 V .
