ibe bombardment of interroiratortes the
ronwianarr replied In s clear voice and
couclied his answers in terms that left
no mistake in their meaning;.
"I thali pay no attention to fake stories
or any sde issues." said Commander
Peary "that are put out to distract from
tna r.iain question 'Has Cook been at
the Poicr
"Do you think It possible for any man
to fake observations to prove that he waa
at the role?" he was asked.
"In the opinion of Admiral Melville.
Tnlted States navy; Admiral Sir George
Kares royal navy and myself yea" he
responded quickly.
Then he continued: "I do not care to
peak of the observations in view of
what I claim and 1 won't say anything
more until the statement signed by an-
other is offered and then I will submit
my statement."
The store of Christmas Day In the Arc-
tic was delightfully pictured by Com-
mander Peary and as he told of those
hours with the members of the expedition
lila face usually stern and drawn relax-
ed and he smiled frequently. Some ath-
letic contests were arranged by Prof. Me-
'lllan and a running; -course of seventy-
flTe yards on the ice. and snow waa laid
rt beside the Roosevelt which then lay
In the ice cradle at Cape Sheridan.
FOOT RACES CHRISTMAS DAT.
Christmas Day falls In the dead of th
Vrctlc night and to light the racing patli
little whale oil lamps were set on snov
mounds at intervals of fifteen feet. In
the flickering yellow light this weird
company hooded and garbed In the heavy
ton of the North gathered and applaud-
ed the contestant. Titk-Cuh-Mah won the
race from the married" women and Prof.
McMillan had offered the selection ot
one of three things as the prise a bar
r Km nf t-Aft inn f rnat Ail
cake.
"We were all curioos to know which
article Tuh-Cuh-Mah would select" said
Prof. McMillan. "I knew that I would
take the frosted cake if it had been my
choice but she quickly took the soap.
Poor Ross Marvin won the foot rare
for the Americans while Sigloo won the
race for the Eskimo men.
That holiday was fittingly observed for
the Americans on the Roosevelt and while
tnusk ox took the place of turkey there
were all sorts of puddings and sweet-
meats on the table.
CHRISTMAS GIFT SURPRISES.
' "We had Washington pudding and plum
podding." said Peary "and Captain Bart-
lett opened a locked canister of good
things which his wife quietly gave to
me before we left the South and told me
to give it to her husband on Christmas
Day. I found that Mrs. Peary had work-
ed the captain the same wajr and had
given him a locked canister for me to be
opened on Christmas Day. We had hot
toddy and cigars for all. All the mem-
bers of the party received a box of candy
from Mrs. Peary."
Speaking of the scientific value of the
expedition to the North Pole. Comma noer
Peary said that the soundings from Cape
Columbia to the pole were valuable and
supplemented the data given by Nansen
and Cagnl on the other side of the pole.
"The reaching of the pole." added
Peary "is the proof of man's final con-
Suest of the arth. Work In the Antarc-
c Is quite different -from that In the
North. An expedition to the North Pole
must complete its work within the year.

That Greenland and the Arctic regions
will become a summer resort in time Is
Commander Peary's confident belief and
Dr. Goodsell phvsk-lan of the expedition
asserted that the dry air and constant
sunlight of the summer was a fine cure
for tuberculosis.

MARVIN FELL THROUGH ICE.
"We were In our igloos" aald he
"when Moodh-Iook-Too and Iuh:Glue-
Tod. whom Percy the steward had chris-
tened Harrlgan" came Into camp alone
with their heads down. -They shook their
heads and we knew that poor Marv in had
been lost. Thev'aald they found the hole
where he had fallen in and they could see
the back of .his fur coat above the sur-
face of the water."
A brass tablet inscribed with Man-In s
name and the date and place of his death
w-as erected on a cairn of white stones
or crystals at Cape Sheridan.
"Commander Peary do you believe the
pole can be reached again and to wht
do you ascribe vour success tills time?
"I believe that any member of my party
could reach the pole twice out of ihice
times Just the same as Captain Harnett
could take the Roosevelt through tile too
floes to Cape Sheridan four out of five
time. Yon get your training as you pro-
gress to the pole. I keep myself clesii
and straight and this has been of great
help In the trials of a rigorous rllninte.
"The expedition thhv time compared
with my earlier ones which waa fortu-
nate In the absence of the winds acrow

ing wind In our faces whih held the ice

tn the steam yacht of the last few years.
It is no picnic in the Arctic just hard

minute.
RELICS OF FORMER EXPEDITIONS.'
The story of Prof. McMillan on his find-
ing of the relics and stores of earlier
expeditions was fraught with Interest. On
a trip to the westward from the1 winter
quarters at Cape Sheridan to make ob-
servations. Prof McMillan came upca
some supplies at Fort Conner which had
beeii left there by the Greeley expedi-
tion in 1881-84.
"There was coffee tea. canned pota-
toes and rbuoarb and I tried them all.
Tt seemed strange to think that seven-
teen out of that party of twenty-five had
died of starvation after they had lelt
these places behind. They had to go
back inder orders and failed to f nd ti.a
relief ship at Cape Sabine
"Near tut ah I came upon the old Polani
houre in Thank Cod harbor which had
been used by the expedition of Command-
er Hall in IST. The house was made of
wood and near it I picked up a plec
of brass marked V. S. Polaris. Washing-
ton navy yard 1S77. While on this trip

f mos eating off a plate on the back of

which carried the Amundsen expeifticn
of 1MS-6. I gave the Eskimos a cup fur
the plate."
Prof. McMillan said be came upon the
old headquarters of the expedition of Ad-
miral Sir George Nares near Cape Sheri-
dan. On the beach the professor found
oat bags loads of wood crockery and
cartridges together with a push cart.
The tracks of the cart were still distinctly
visible tn the snow and ground. At Capa
Morris K. Jessup Prof. McMillan found
the cairn made there by Peary in 19MH
while the remains of the old Pearv camj
at Cape New Mayer In JMt were also dis-
covered. HENSON BEST TO GO.
"Why was it that you and the other
did not go to the pole with Commander
Peary instead of HensonT" McMillan wu
r.sked.
"Because Henson was better fitted than
any of our party" he replied. "He was
stronger ana had more experience; was a
better sledge driver and repairer and in
every way was the man to go."
Folowed by the cheers and shouts of
half a hundred Labrador fishermen and
given a farewell cannon salute the
Peary Arctic steamer Roosevelt sailed
yesterday afternoon for Sydney and New
York proudly flying the North Pole flag.
This flag was made at Battle Harbor.
The Roosevelt now homeward bound

with the mountains of floating ice and

President Taft'a sVeechmaklng Itinerary

the credit of a long and hard record. To
Peary the explorer I am still wlllln? to
tip my hat but Peary's unfounded ac-
cusations have disclosed another side of
his character which will never be for-
gotten. When Peary wired he had nailed
the Stars and Stripes to the Pole 1 Im-
mediately sent congratulations. I then
believed as I do now that his work over
a new route far east of my line of travel.
Was a new conquest of great importance
and of course his position would supple-
ment my work with valuable data. There
is room enough and honor enough for two
American flags at the pole.'
Captain Hempell's dinner this afternoon
was a highly enpoyable function every-
body being decked with fancy caps ot
paper and grotesque or picturesque orna-
ments and the greatest good humor pre-
vailed. In a strong speech. Dr. Cook
said:
"There is a man bn board the Oscar II
who protect the lives of men. His guar-
dian hand is felt everywhere bjs watch-
ful eye Is always wakeful to our comfort
and safety. I am sure that every- man
woman and child will agree with me when
I say that this voyage has been a dream
and will always be one Important pago
In the story of our adventures."

As to the attitude of the club on Dr.

tonight that the club accepted Dr. Cook's
statement absolutely and if there waa to

on the Peary advocates to disprove Dr.

within 'tbe. next ten days to outline a
working plan of operation.
This nsw board Is oharged with to

this country le being discriminated
against by foreign governments la the
matter of tariff jiatee. charges and- ex
actions. S '.. '.'-
- Vpun the'" Informatloa reoelved ' will
largely depend the actios of the presi-
dent In Issuing or withholding his procla-
mations Imposing the. maximum rates of
duty provided for In the new act. The
act provides that the maximum rates
shall he applied to all couiftrles on mid

the mattor of tariff and in this wording
the authority of the president Is author-

It" Is pointed but therefore that under
the law as It now stands tbo president
may Issue proclamation allowing the
minimum rates of our tariff even tu the
cuse of a- obuntty: which may" give . to
some other nations a more favorable rate
than Is given to the United States on an
article which we do not 'export and in
which we have .therefore no particular
Interest. '
The new tariff bill gives the president
no authority whatever In the negotiation
of trade treaties agreements or conveik-
tlons.of any sort with foreign countries.
The reciprocity agreements' which are
now in force have been denounced by
the president.
The agreements with France. Swltxer-
land and Bulgaria will expire October 30

the terms our agreement with Germany
and Great Britain the present reciprocal
arrangement with the countries under

nate until February 7 1910. The agree-
ments with Spain -Italy Portugal and the
Netherlands will expire August 7 1310.
BENEFITED BY SfMK RATES.
The best information now obtainable Is
that the United-States enjoys the best
rates on about 90 per cent of the Imports
to those countries. With the exception
of canned meats fresh and dried fruits

factured and prepared; pork meats and

UNACCREDITED ENVOYS OP PEACH.
We do not come in any official capac
ity and we are not bearing any offical
message to you. We however may safe
ly claim in a broad sense that we are
unaccredited envoys of peace sent by the
people of Japan to the people of the
L'nited States.
"On the eve of our departure on the
present mission his majesty the empe-
ror honored us in a way quite unique
in history. He graciously invited us to
a banquet at one of his palaces an honor
never before given to any private indi-
vidual however distinguished going
abroad. On that occasion the emperor
was pleased to express to us through;
the minister of his. household his high
approval of our visit to America and
gave us to understand that the succea4
of our mission was a matter of deep con-
cern to him. Scarcely less deep was the
Interest manifested In our trip by tbe
people at large. From ministers of state
down to every man in the country the
whole nation united in giving us a CSid-
off such as is given only to the men go-
ing to the front In defense of home end
country. From this you can easily Infer
how strong and universal la the-enthusiasm
excited in Japan by our present
visit to your country.
"This Is only another mantfeatatlon-of
that peculiar deep sentiment of friend-
ship and Rood will which the people of
Japan have always felt and actually feel
toward the people of this enlightened re-
public. "May the strong ties of friendship that
now so happily bind together the two na-
tions grew still stronger as years roll on
and may their friendship be forever based
on mutual respect and on common regard

humanity at large."
; TAFT'S WARM RESONSB.
The president said: "I say on what is
in the heart of every one who hears me
that we are delighted to welcome this
Influential highly Intelligent and most
charming company of our Japanese
friends. I have tn this company of fifty
men! business men of acute intellect
men of far-seeing commercial experiences
and I warn tbe American merchant and
tbe. -American manufacturer that what
they show these gentlemen they will
avail themselvea of in thhr friendly com-
munity and this friendly -commercial test
between the two nations.
"They are here en a pleasure trip but
they belong to a through nation and they
will carry back with them all the useful
knowledge that one such visit will gain.
Now I don't regret that I hope they
will take back all the lessons possible
and I hope it will make Japan if possi-
ble more prosperous snd more energetlo
and widen her commercial and manufac-
turing interests. .
"I am not one of tboss who believe It ts .
wise to keep back the i progress of your
neighbors In order that your own progress
may be grat. We have much to learn
from Japan and they have much to learn
from us. but aa we Improve both leasona
and as we grow to be better In commerce
and In business we shall grow to be
greater customers each ef the other. -
"This old colonial Idea.' that It was
necessary to keep dependents Jrt a state
of tutelasre so that their people did not
know the prices at which goods' ought to
tell in order that the home governments
might get things at a cheap price ana
s-ll them at .a high price is a VOnoo
game that works a little while end m
the end It does no good to either i. And
It Is so between nations . Development of
each Is for the benefit ofs the other tz
falendly relations oontlnue and eomraer-
tnat there shall be a circulation of In-
clal agreements exist that ought to exist
between friendly nations. .

tune six or seven times to visit that
wonderful country and to enjoy the hos-
pitality of that wonderful people. You do
not visit there once without having a
deep impression made upon you ana
you can imagine the impression 1 have.
In being there six times and having twice
or three times been the gvest of tne
emperor' and of the people of Japan.
"We are a curious people. We have to
run our newspapers. We hsve to have
at times emotions stirred in order that
the newspapers shall havs circulation
and we can not always do that with a
statement of tacts. Therefore we have
to draw upon our imaginations an
therefore we have to make that to appear
which in fact la not" true just in order
struction of this section aa relates to tne
telllgence among' people. Now in times
past we have been stirred up; that .
some of us have been those of us who
knew the facta were never so stirred up
by snnouncements of trouble between
Japan and America. I believe that even
the newapapera have now given UP any
such Idea. Those of us who were In Ja-
pan who knew of her aims and am-
bitions came Into contact with all of ner
great men and talked with them per-
sonally had no trouble on that score.
"Japan Is engaged In a contest is en-
gaged In a struggle I had almost said
but I won't because It Is not a correct
expression. That struggle or that con-
test is in the development of her re-
sources and the making of her people a
great success. Her proven ability on the
field of batle Is well lurown. She has.
shown what can be done by the thorougn-
ness of preparation and courage and care-
ful deliberate steps tn the direction of her
ambition In the maintenance of prestige
on the field of battle. Hut she Is not
engaged in that now. She la preparing
for victories of peace and in that we all
hope she may be successful. We are
not going to yield ourselves In that
controversy If we can help It. we
are entern-r th.: con'.jst mil I hope wlir-
strip ourselves ot some nonaeuaicmi
that we have 'Jed heretofore in order
that we may make a Utile gre uer strides
than we bav mnte neretofore .n ne
Orient and In those far distance countries.
The truth is. If I may say so. being an
American our btis'.iesa men are a little
bit envious over he'r tremendous sue-
cess and therefore thoy hae not stven
as much attention os tlies' might nnd h
other countries give to the wishes and
tastes of customers In fur distant .ands.
They are a little disposed t say. Vif.il
these are the sises. makes and they are
the patterns our looms turn out and If
the forelgnera have not sense enough to
make tbem as we make them why they
can leave them.'. .
CAN GO ELSEWHERE.
"Well gentlemen.- that . Is right when
the foreigners csn get no other kind of
goods but they do find other countries
that are willing to manufacture to suit
the taste of the foreigner and the Amer-
ican will therefore be second third or
fourth In the race. We are beginning to
recognise that. We are. of course grow
ing up to- It and I warn our Japanese
friends that while we may be a. little
slow in getting 10 wui anu
standing what we have got to do we .will
be stripping ourselves in a while and
they must look out. . '
"It gives me new greet pleasure tp pro-
pose a toast to a personage who. In his
life and service to his people has shown
a devotion and a remarkable ability for
selecting the men with which the won-
derful advance of Japan has been made
possible and in government there is no
ability higher than the power to select
the right men to do the right things. I
propose a toast to a warm and sincere
friend of America to a monarch who It
has been my high honor to know person-
