Harriman‘s most spectacular _ perâ€" formance, and which made his rame familiar to all the reading public, was in May, 199i, when he struggled with the _ Morgan and Hill interests for control of the Northern Pacific.

Dr. Mcintyre, who occupied the ground floof, woke to find the flames raging about him. _ He got out with some difficulty and then went to reseue the two women who were . sleeping oblivious to danger. Mrs. Campbell is 80 years old, and in her excitement fell downstairs into the fire. Her daughter bysterically rushed after her, and both were slightly burned before Dr. McIntyre could get them out. The doctor had all his hair burned off and his face is scorched. His loss is $1,500, and the total loss is $4,000.

AA TORONTO When asked about Peary‘s talk of the Eskimos‘ evidence, Captain Amundsen laughed heartily and said: "1 don‘t care a damn for the Esâ€" kimos. _ They can say what they want to. They reckon out what you want to hear and then speak to please the good white man. Only a man like Rasmussen can handle them so as to get the truth." Further questioning â€" brought _ forth the following: "No one doubts Peary. No one doubts his word. No one doubts Dr. Cook. I believe he and Cook have been at the Pole. I am going there myâ€" sclf next year. I believe that when the excitement calms everything will be all Copenhagen, Sept. 13. â€" No man‘s word is more respected here than that of Captain Ronald Amundsen, the wellâ€" known Arctiec explorer. His â€" enthuâ€" siastic support of Dr. Cook has inâ€" creased, if possible, Denmark‘s faith in Dr. Cook‘s bonaâ€"fide statement. "For two years," says Captain Amundâ€" sen. "I was very close to Dr. Cook during our Antarctic â€" expedition. _1 have metbl’eury a few times, but do not really know him. _ Cook is the most reliable man I have ever met, 1 would trust no other man as I would trust him." â€""('rav[‘)tain Amundsen "evidently respects (Cook‘s wish not to tell stories of his experience, but Captain Amundsen said: smcs t T "We talked for a long time last night. They bad a terrible hard time. _ They told me of details which I will not talk about. but they were terribly hard. He has observations and all that sort of thing with him, while Mr. Whitney will tike his instraments to Amerfca." Prof. Torp, Rector ot the Univer sity, in presenting a diploma to Dr. Cook toâ€"day, spoke of the admiration his achievement _ had aroused in the uviversity, and declared that the news that another famous explorer had solvâ€" ed the same problem could in no way deâ€" tract from the honor due Dr. Cook. In exprossinie(l‘\is thanks, DPr. Cook said he accep the honor as testiâ€" mony of the genuineness of his journey. He promised to send the university his complete records, and he completed that it was his intention to dispatch a ship He has not seen Dr. Cook‘s diary or observations, and does not think _ the people who are said to have ween them have really done se, but he said: "We talked a long time last night. _ He had his map out and we went all over it. _ That was _ enough to make me believe Cook had been to the North Pole, even if I had not known him before. _ Yes, I could have believed you, though I had never seen you or heard of you before, had you been at the Pole, if you had gone over your journey like that." Captain Amundsen‘s expedition . was then talked of. It is to be an oceanâ€" graphical study of tides and cwrrents aud to sound seas.

One of these was probably Hensen, the colored man, who has been along as general utility man in every expedition of Peary‘s since 1891,. The other would logically be D. B. MeMillan, the ranking subordinate directly under Peary. Miae m Sss "The rapid return trip is explicable," he said, "by the fact that on going south he had no necessity of fixing his course for a definite paint, as he did on his dash for the poie, put he could strike Grant Land at any point and then find the Roosevelt. I think that another favoring cireumstance that can be deâ€" duced was the good condition of his dogs. He must have had plenty . of hunting during the winter at Cape Sherâ€" idan." Mr. Bridgman further said that probâ€" ably there were not more than two of the Roosevelt‘s original â€" party | with Peary when he made his final dash to the pole. One of these was probably Hensen. the colored man, who has been Mr. Bridgman‘s attention was attractâ€" ed to the difference of time Peary had occeupied in going from Cape Columbia to the pole and in returning to the cape. Mr. Bridgman counted the distance beâ€" tween the points as 450 miles, allowing 7O miles as the distance between ten deâ€" grees of latitude. This Peary covered in 57 days. It took him only sixteen days to make the return, and the season was further advanced with the â€" presumed consequent increase in the number of open leads. _ es hop on on "I will say that I am surprised at Peary‘s speed over the frozen ocean, which is something that he has never approximated for any length of time in his previous efforts. This must all deâ€" pend upon conditions, which are variâ€" able and never to be anticipated." Merbert L. Bridgman, the secretary of the Peary Arctic Club of New York, who arrived here this evening, read in a Halifax paper early in the morning Peary‘s advance report of his trip from Etah to the pole and back. The report of the death of Prof. Rossâ€"G. Marvin, who had been drowned, was a great shock to Mr. Bridgman. He immediateâ€" ly forwarded from the first station a telegram to Mrs. Mary Melvin a mesâ€" sage of sympathy.â€" Mr. Bridgman said that i~ all of Commander Peary‘s twenâ€" ty years of Arctic exploration he lost but one other member of his expeditions. This one was John J. Sterhoeff, who in the Peary expedition of 1892 left camp «t the head of McCormick Bay, on the west coast of Greenland, and was never seen again. It was believed that he fell into the crevice of a glacier which has since borne his name. Cook Hurrying From Copenhagen to New York.

Coaling has been in progress all day, say the deâ€" spatches. Battle Marbor is 350 miles from Sydney, and the Roosevelt is not believed to have speed greater than seyvâ€" en knots in her now.
