(By Leased Wire to The Times.) Washington, Sept. 24. Submarine torpedo boats as an auxiliary to the army coast defenses Is a- subject to which the war department is giving serious attention. It is not intended that the army shall be equipped with a flotilla of submarines and so have a Httle.navy of Its own, but that Such craft shall be employed at certain points upon the coast of the United States and In the Philippines as a means, of defense against the attacks of a hostile invader where it has been found either impossible or "imprac ticable to plant submarine mines, which is a means of defense coming under the Jurisdiction of the army. In pursuance of this plan, now only In Its inception, Brigadier-General Ar-" thur Murray, U. S. A., chief of artil lery, who has given a great deal of time to the study of coast defense, has caused Col. J. C. Bailey,. U. S. rA of the artillery" corps, to be de tailed to visit Provincetown, Mass., tor the purpose of making a thorough investigation and report upon the workings of the submarine torpedo boats having their trials off that point. Colonel Bailey will leave here next Monday and will probably spend a week observing the operation of the submarines. There will be six of the navy's newest submarines undergoing trial during the week the Norwhale, Stingray and Tarpon which are com pleted and are to have their official Contract trials preparatory to being turned over to the government, and the Grayling, Bonlta and Snapper, which will be in the course of pre liminary trials. Colonel Bailey will have nothing to do with these tests, of course, so far as the acceptance or rejection of the craft is concerned, but he will watch the operations with a view of determining the availability of the vessels or others of similar construction, as supplemental to the war department's general plan of coast defense. There are various points along both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts strategically important, where it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to plant submarine mines, chiefly on account of the depth of water, This is particularly the case in. Puget Sound, and to a lesser ex .. near San Francisco and what is known as the t'Race," the eastern entrance to Long Island -juod. , It is also con- tidered tinp'racticable to plant mines at the Mississippi delta. During the last two weeks, however, uenerai Murray has met with an unexpected degree of success in, experimenting with the planting of mines In the Race;" but he is still in doubt as to' their successful use in -.times of war, ahd hence Is anxious to learn If Submarine boats can be used in stead. . ": . ' '' VThe board has recognised the claims of the navy to comntand all sea-going defenses, and also the gen eral inadvlsabillty of assigning naval units to particular stations, yet the board belieVed that the military de fenses' of , certain Important ports shoUld be supplemented. The board Is of the opinion that the navy should Contribute to the defenses of these places by, assigning submarine boats Or other suitable vessels." ' . . . .

The giant British battleship Inflexible, with Ad miral Sir Edward Seymour on board, arrived here today for -participation in the Hudson-Fulton celebration. Heading her convoys, the English cruisers Drake, Edinburgh and Ar gyll', the majestic dreadnought swept by quarantine at 11:10 o'clock while the United States- supply ship Cul goa, anchored off Tompkinsvllle, thundred a salute which jarred the nearby State Island towns. Like pigmies the three British cruisers followed in the wake Of the splendid queen of England's mari time flgiting fonsea.-Thetoar of the welcoming guns which had greet ed the German contingent to the in ternational navy in the Hudson River had scarcely died away before the English fleet churned up the bay, wreathed in the fog which accompa nied a drizzle of rain The three English cruisers had ar rived earlier, but had delayed their entrance into the Hudson river until their mistress, the mighty Inflexible, put in her appearance. Shortly be fore the German cruisers, Victoria Luise, Bertha and Bremen, had pass ed quarantine, anchoring in their pla ces at 10 o'clock. They, too, had been greeted with all the enthusiasm that gunpowder could manifest. It was hard to discern the moving British war machines as they plowed through the fog. Their lead colored hulls blended so perfectly with the mist that the two colors made a har mony. - The great Hudson-Fulton celebra tion will begin tomorrow and this city Is welcoming thousands from; north, south and west, who are pour ing in for the opening spectacle, the greatest naval demonstration ever seen in western waters. ' With the arrival of the German fleet today there will be an unbroken line of warships in the Hudson river from 23 rd street to Spuyten Duyvil creek. The squadron, which will represent Great Britain, would take its place in the river today but, for the delay in-the arrival of Admiral Seymour's flagship, the Inflexible, which was detained after the depart ure of the other three vessels, and planned to smash" the trans-Atlantic record for battleship steaming.

Her statement is: ' "My feeling for Mr. Dennett is love Which comes from the soul. It is Wicked and cruel to make insinua tions that a moral wrong is being done; I have the deepest love for my husband and children and the af fection that exists between Mr. Den nett and myself Is purely of a mental character." Dennett was today offered a home with Dr. Chase and has consented to live temporarily at the Chase dwell ing. , - ''In view of the fact that he has been frozen out of his own home by his wife, so to speak, I have ottered him a home under our roof and he Win Stop with us for a time at least.

PEARYJILL COOK WAS GIVEN DIG RECEPTION Added New Fuel to Dispute Which is Being Waged Between Factions PLANS FOR LECTURES Dr. Cook Will Receive Full Honors as the Discoverer of the North Pole as Soon as the Hudson-Fulton Cele bration is Ended This Became Known Today Following the Ban quet at the Waldorf-Astoria Last Night Plan Was Evolved to Pre vent Conflict in Two Celebrations Dr. Cook in His Address at the Banquet Added New Fuel to the Bitter Dispute Which is Being Waged His Lecture Plans. (By Leased Wire to The Times) New York, Sept. 24. Dr. Fred erick A. Cook will receive full honors as the discoverer of the north pole as soon as the Hudson-Fulton celebra tion is ended. This became a today following the banquet given at the Waldorf-Astoria last night. This plan was evolved to prevent a conflict In the two celebrations. Dl Cook in his address at the ban quet, which was tendered him by the Arctic club of America, added new fuel to the bitter dispute which is now being waged between the pro Peary faction and the Cook support ers as to which man really reached iertn-fortHlrBt,'4? thht query: "Now, gentlemen, I appeal to you as explorers and men, am I bound to appeal to anybody, to any man, to any body of men for a license to look for the porth pole?" In the presence of a distinguished array of scientists, men of affairs and statesmen. Dr. Cook arose, following his Introduction by Rear Admiral W. S. Schley, president of the Arctic club, who presided at the banqet. For a brief space nothing could be heard above the din of handclapping, cheer ing and the strains of "For he's a jolly good fellow," played by a brass band at full steam. It was thought that Dr. Cook would supplement some of his state ments by further Information about his polar quest, but instead he talk ed along an entirely different tack. "Our expedition was charged with sufficient equipment," said Dr. Cook. "A big equipment is no advantage. An army of white men who are at best novices is a distinct hindrance. My preliminary report was as com plete as any ever issued by an explor er returning from a successful quest. Heretofore such evidence has been taken with faith and the complete record was not expected to appear for years afterward. We agree to deliv er all within a few months. "I cpnnot cease without expressing to you and to the living Arctic ex plorers my debt of gratitude. There is glory enough for all. There is enough to go to the graves of the dead and the heads of the living." Dr. Cook has consented to take part In the Hudson-Fulton celebra tion. He will attend the banquet at St. George, S. I., on Thursday even ing, September 30. The banquet will assemble a number of prominent men, among them the secretary-of state, P. C. Knox, Governor Hughes, Mayor McClellan and the command ers of the visiting squadrons of bat tleships. ..Dr. Cook expressed great satisfac tion today when told that Sir Robert Ball, the famous astronomer and di rector of the Cambridge Observatory, had expressed his confidence in the Cook claims. Dr. Ball declared that, in hia opinion, no man, no matter how well versed he might be, could concost false observation and polar evidence. The explorer will deliver a series of lectures In New York, Chicago, St. Louis, Cleveland and likely Pittsburg and 'Other cities in the weBt and south. The first gun from tho lecture platform will be--fired next Monday evening at Carnegie Hall under the auspices of tho Arct!c club. Under the direction of William Gray, Dr. -Cook will tour the middle west; Speaking upon '"Arctic Travel" and the "North Pole." ' " Champion Lost Boy.
