At a farewell luncheon tendered him at the Brooklyn Club yesterday. Commander R. E. Peary, who sailed for Europe, today, ex plained why he attacked the claim of Ir. Cook on his return from his polar trip. He said: "Three weeks before I Rot back to civilization I had the full est information of what had been done by another in the Arctic regions and when and where, and what would be claimed by this man. The telegrams I sent which caused me to be criticised were sent deliberately and after full consideration. That was my position. 1 knew that a deliberate attempt was to be made to defraud the country, mor ally and financially, and as an officer of the United States Navy I felt I must give warning to the country and that I owed it to myself also to give warn ing that I might escape a charge of being an accessory to the crime. My position is still unchanged and will not be changed ' hereafter." DIVORCE DENIED TO WIFE Admission of Desire to Wed Another Stays Yakima Decree. NORTH YAKIMA, "Wash., April 26. (Special.)

He began the series, of plays which conquered" the Nor wegian stage, and - also--' iavaded the Danish, Swedish and German theaters. All the while he was pouring out volumes of short stories, fables, poems, long- novels and critical essays. Part of the time he was editor of the Norsk Kolkeblad, and for two years he was director of the Christiania Theater. He left this latter place because he was not allowed to have his own way. As Bjornson grew older he went Into politicsJalmost in spite of himself and always as a refotxner, leading at one time a conspicuous movement against Swedish domination of Norway. In later years he became almost as well known an apostle of universal peace as is Tolstoi himself. Works Are Famous. In 1908 his celebration of his golden wedding was the occasion for" general good wishes. Among the best known of his works which have been translated Into Eng lish are "Synnove Solbakken," "The Klsher Lass," "The Bridal March," "In Gods Way," "A Gauntlet," "The Herit age of the Kurts." "Pastor's Song," "Paul Lange," "Arne," "Laboremus," "Magnhild." "A Happy Boy" and "Cap tain Mansana." Bjornsen was a linguist, speaking Knglish, French, German and Italian fluently, as well as the Scandinavian languages. His journalistic style was as incisive as a sword cut; his dramas of modern life are better adapted to the stage than Ibsen's, and his verse has all the lyric quality of Tennyson, without losing the Norse vigor. INSURGENTS RIP UP-BILL (Continued from First Pagre.) around neck he made his way to the floor, arriving In time to pass between the tellers. Madison, of Kansas, an insurgent, offered an amendment reducing from 60 to seven days the period during which an order of the Interstate Commerce Commission might be suspended by the Commerce Court pending application to the court for its Injunction In certain cases. The insurgents very generally voted for the amendment, which was car ried, 138 to 124. The Commerce Court provision had not been disposed of when Mann, of Illinois, in charge of the bill, moved to lay the measure aside for the day." When the railroad bill is finally re ported from the committee of the whole to the House, any or all of the amend ments adopted today may again be voted on and a roll call on any vote may de demanded. Dictation, Cries Clapp. During the debate in the Senate on the railroad bill, Clapp, referring -to what he characterized as Crawford's "frantic ap peal" to the Roosevelt policies in support of -his amendment, declared Roosevelt never had attempted to dictate to his party. Next to Lincoln, no man had ever so accurately interpreted the public will, nor had been so far from- attempt at dictation as had Mr. Roosevelt, h said. Holding at arm's length a copy of the railroad bill, Clapp declared that Mr. Roosevelt never had sent to Con gress a "document like that, with or ders to put it through." The evil time had come after Mr. Roosevelt's retirement and when a few men in Congress had undertaken to trample on rights of the people and to arrogate to themselves the right to say what should be done, he declared. No harmony could be expected from such action. The Republican party never had resided in the White House, nor Capitol, but was found in the country at large. Clapp said he believed the American people still were reluctant to give up the Republican party, and thought if Congress would pass acceptable rail road and savings bank bills, and give l!JOHS. the public a tariff commission, the party still might be saved. Hughes Makes Sweeping Attack. Hughes made a sweeping attack on the railroad bill. "It is not statesmanship." he said, "to urge through great measures like this without argument or explanation. The people have a. right to ask greater consideration when their interests are so materially affected." Hughes criticised the provision creat ing a court of commerce because such a court was not necessary. He contended, as far as transportation was concerned, the bill repealed the anti-trust law. He thought the bill especially objectionable, as it delegates legislative authority to the Interstate Commerce Commission. Arguing that under the operation of the proposed law the smaller roads would have no chance, he declared railroad construction, except by large systems, would be out of the question. He said It would be especially hurtful In the de velopment of the "Great West." He said the Attorney-General in his testimony explained how the proposed law would be evaded. Declaring It would not apply to interstate roads, the Attorney-General, according to Hughes, had said that in the case of roads crossing a state line different issues of stock could be put out for each state. "I asked him why go to all the trouble?" said Hughes, "but I am still' waiting for the reply." Ilan-iman's Hopes Realized. Referring to the many constructions placed upon section 12 of the bill relat ing to the construction of railroad lines, Hughes said there should be a commis sion to determine its meaning. He con tended the testimony of Mr. Harriman before the Interstate Commerce Commis sion had supplied the platform from which the pending bill had been con structed. "He pointed out the way of remov ing the obstacles in his continent wide ambition," continued Hughes, "and ere the grass is green on his grave we have a bill removing all the obstacles of which he complained. A bargain, we are out-traded; the things we get are trifling compared with the advantage we concede to great rail roads. But one disposition should be made of it and that is its absolute and unqualified rejection." Is Anti-Trust Law Suspended. Heyburn attempted to refute the contentions that the Crawford amend ment had the effect of repealing the Sherman anti-trust law as affecting railroads. Cummlngs challenged the correctness of Heyburn's position. He asserted the purpose of the provision was to render lawful that which was not unlawful. In response Aldrlch coincided with the views expressed by Heyburn to the extent of asserting that under the pro posed law any agreement in restraint of trade would be unlawful, notwith standing the proposed law. Cummins would not assent, declaring there had been no other idea in fram ing the provision than to render the railroads immune from the anti-trust law. He declared the provision would be of no vail If it did not legalize acts now considered illegal it would be without object. MANY ACRES TO BENEFIT Figures Show Great Possibilities of Klickitat Canal. NORTH YAKIMA, Wash.. April 26. .Special.) The big Klickitat irrigation canal will water upwards of 300,000 acres, drain an area of 175.900 acres and furnish & continuous flow of 12500 cubic feet of water per second, the year around. These figures, and maps for the first 42 miles of the ditoh, were filed in the North Yakima Land Office today. The canal will start in the Little Klickitat canyon, just east of Mount Adams; will follow near the river for about 40 miles and then veer eastward toward the Horse Heaven country. The preliminary survey of 110 miles brings it near the glade south of Mabton. There will be two tunnels in the first 40 miles, each over two miles in length. The rest of the ditch is open, compris ing cement-lined canal and flumes. Water Is to be stored in a series of res ervoirs, the first of which will be in the Klickitat canyon. The dam will be 26 feet high and 676 feet long. The water of several of the upper tributaries will be caught and carried by canals to this reservoir. There will be stored 852, 122 acre feet of water. The filing of the maps today with the complete survey of over 40 .miles of canal indicates that the biggest irrigation project in Washington Is now well un der way. Elks Form Antlers Club.

Stronghold, Demo crats Are Encouraged to Plan Sweep of Entire State. BY LLOYD F. LOSERQAN. NEW YORK. April 26. (Special.) Encouraged by the repudiation of George Washington Aldridge in Mon roe County, the Democratic Congres sional Committee has planned to pay a great deal of attention to conditions in New York State this Fall. Chairman Lloyd was In town the other day, and held secret conferences with a number of Democrats. To show the union that exists at present, it might be stated that he met men of such widely different shades of opin ion as Mayor Gaynor, State Chairman Connera, Edward M. Shepard. Thomas Osborne, of the Democratic Reformers; President of the Board of Aldermen Mltchel and National Committeeman Norman E. Mack. Every one promised to do all in his power to bring about the nomination of high-class' men this Fall. Mr. Lloyd, although he did not give out an Inter view, and In fact tries to keep his trfp a secret, is very . optimistic. In fact, he went so far as to say, "there is not a single Republican Congress man from New York State who is cer tain of being re-elected this Fall." Trouble Stirred tp. There is no denying the fact that the defeat of Aldridge has stirred up trouble for other leaders all over the state. Already the enemies of the "Old Guard" are lining up in opposi tion, and the result promises to be the retirement of several of the old tim ers, who have sat in Congress so long that they believe they have a mort gage on the Job. Probably the liveliest fight of them all centers around the head of Sereno E. Payne, chairman of the House com mittee on ways and means, and in point of service one of the oldest mem bers of Congress. For a generation Mr. Payne has been one of those, for tunate officeholders who never had to make a campaign. The nomination came to him by acclamation. The dis trict was so strongly Republican that the election was a mere formality. Year after year, it Is alleged, Payne has grown further and further away from his constituents. And year after year he has gathered a few more ene mies. Payne's first name should be "Aus tere." His manner is cold and for bidding, and he never thaws out on any pretext. No one has heard of him making a joke. If he smiles, he first locks the doors. But for term after term he has- gone back to Washington. Recently, despite the cares of Con gress, Mr. Payne has found it con venient to make hurried trips to his home in Auburn. There is an under current of unrest and dissatisfaction that has even made itself felt by the veteran Representative. The opposition to Payne can be roughly described as1 made up of Hughes' Republicans, Insurgent Re publicans, and offended constituents. The last named class are particularly vociferous in voicing " their feelings, but the others are also on the job. The offended "constlts" say that they have been grossly humiliated on occasions that they have visited Wash ington. Their Congressman, they say, has failed to aid them in expediting their business, has shown them abso lutely no courtesies, and frequently has sent word that he is too busy to see the "home folks." All of which has not enhanced his popularity. The Hughes men oppose Payne be cause he was the political side partner of ex-State Senator Ben Wilcox, who was forced out of public life because he did not vote for the bill to end race track gambling, two sessions ago. At the time-of the last Senatorial conven tion in the district, Payne tried to save Wilcox, but failed. The Insurgent Republicans, and there are a lot of them this year, declare that Payne ia only a little bit worse than "Joe" Cannon, whose first lieutenant he is. These Insurgents declare that Payne must be defeated "as an object lesson." The trouble with this reasoning accord ing to the regulars is that there are so many "object lessons" planned, that if all Bucceed there will be no Republicans in the House. John W. Dwight, another veteran New York Republican, is also having his troubles. Dwight's closeness to the Can non machine has hurt him, and he has also gained undesired notoriety by being the political sponsor of State Senator Benn Conger, whose expose of legislative conditions created so much uproar this year. Dwight's district consists of five up state counties, and to quote one of the Congressman's friends, "hell is loose in every one of them." Machine Misuses Conger. To specify, Tompkins County is the home of Benn Conger. Despite the revelations at Albany, Conger has many friends who think he was misused by the "machine." Another county in the dis trict is Chenango, the home of Senate Leader J. P. Allds, who was bounced on the ABds testimony. Senator Harvey Hinman comes from Broome County. He is the Hughes man who was ordered chosen to succeed Alrds as Stenate leader, the edict being sent from Washington by United States Senator Root. Hinman was not elected, by the way. In Tioga County, where the late Thomas C. Piatt always maintained a voting residence, the Old Guard 3 have been routed, and reformers run the "machine. ' They do no-, like Dwight. The fifth county on the list is Cortlandt, where the reform forces are already demanding the head of Dwight, served 1'a la John the Baptist." ' - Representative Drlscoll, of Syracuse, is another unhappy man these days. When Cannon was whipped in the house on the motion to amend the rules, Drlscoll stuck to the regulars. Immediately there were loud cries from his home town. Drlscoll attempted to fix things, and when the matter of an auto for the Speaker came up the Syracuse man lined up with the insurgents. And now he seems to e "in bad" all around. The machine men criticise him for changing sides, and the insurgents de clare that he is not really one of them at heart. The upshot of the matter is that Drlscoll may fail to land even a nomination. And his town is so indepen dent, that, even the big normal majority may not save him if he is named. Congressman William H. Draper, of Troy, finds that his party will have to hustle to re-elect him.

Congressman Herbert Parsons only had a lead of 3000 in 1903, and he Is seriously considering retiring from the race. There are two out-and-out insurgents in the" present Congress whose address is New York State. One is Hamilton Fish, of Putnam, who represents a num ber of the Hudfon River counties, the other is Otto Foelker, of Brooklyn. What is to be done -with them is a proposition that is worrying the leaders, gray-headed. It will be the easiest thing in the world, to defeat thenfor a renomination. The machinery is air fixed for that. The problem Is, what would happen to the niachin-3 men who ran? The conventions are some montlis away, of course, but trouble la already started at full speed.
