McKINLEY IS SCALED Explorers Adeem! Alaakan Peak for 11,000 Feet. New Tork. Oct. 8. attempt made by Dr. Frederick A. Cook, of Pr oklyn, the well-known explorer, to ncle Mt. McKlnley In Alaska, has failed. Dr. Cook accompanied by two -r three other nen, among them a Columbia university student left this rlty several months ago and no news of the expe dition had been 'ecelved until today when the following cablegram, signed by the loader of the party, wa receiv ed by the Associated Press: "Valdea Alaska, Oct. 2. The assault upon Mt. McKlnley resulted in our making an altitude of 11,000 feet on the southwestern side. At this point we were stopped by t n Impassable grante lope which extended 5000 feet above us We searched the entire western side of the mountain for a route to the summit which might offer a prospect of suc cess, hut no opportunity waa found and the aacent from the western slope seems practically Impossible. On Sep tember 4 signs of winter were aleady far advanced and although we should hawe liked to search the northwestern ridge as well aa Muldrew glacier, the rapidly advancing season forced us on to a point to where we could get out of the country without our horses. heretofore.lt waa decided to cross theMc Klnley range at the first northerly break in the mountain. Our previous travels had been over the trail made by the geological survey expedition under Brooks last year, but now we traveled over unknown terri tory, marching about 15 miles north ward and twinging eastward in the mountains at every available opportu nity. We crossed tha divide September 8 over a new pass at an elevation of (WOO feet and camped In the valley of Chulltna. Our aim was to reach the eastern slope of Mount McKlnley, and, on our voyage out, if the season permit ted, to make another attack from that side. r' ' A forced march was made down the Chul.'tna, It being necessary to ford and swim the rivor many times; but we were compelled to abandon our horse and bulM raft 20 mlloti1 north of a great glacier. The latter afforded the first easterly route to the great moun tain peak. We explored it and made a rapid examination of the eastern elope, but the rapidly approaching winter did not permit of another attempt to climb tha mounttan and with much re gret we were forced to take our raft Kptember 21 and to seek the head waters of Cook ln!et which ray 130 miles to the south. Before us waj a journey of 60 miles down the Chulltan rivrr, of which nothing was known as to the possibilities of navigation en a raft. Considerable apprehension was felt on this score but- tha river proved navi gable and the expldltlon reached Tyon ek In six day. The net result of tha expedition wa a march of (00 miles with horses, near ly 400 miles voyage In boat and raft, the exploration of a good deal of new territory, the discovery of xeveral moun tains, glacier and river. The sura mil of Mount McKlnljy was not posibt for us.but the member of the expedl tlon feel that we did all possible in the short working season ft an ' Alaakan summer. Every member of the party ba enjoyed good health and will return directly to the United State. Dr. Cook waa accompanied on hi trip by Ralph Shlnwald of Co'umbla university and Robert Dunn.

The ears we intended to have repainted we have been obliged to put into service on ac count of a heavy rush of traffic, and as soon aa we can get at It, probably with in M days, the painter vill be put back to work. These are the exact faits of the matter." Mr. Archibald Insists, however, that the men were locked out and that It was done for the purpose of destroying tnelr union. - "We do not ask for more wages or shorter hour," said he, "but wc shall Insist that Oenernl Manager Bryan take the matter In hand and re ceive a committee of our union, u he refuses, the company must exprct a tie-up.
