Whereabouts. CHICAGO. July 7 A dispatch to the Record-Herald from Washington says: ' That .Captain Robert E Peary ha sacrificed bis life in the efforfc to discover the north pole is the fear of naval men here, who are worried by the failure to get any tidings of the ship Roosevelt, which sailed for the Arctic regions July 16, 1005. ;,-.'."' ; Advices from the American Geographi cal Society add to their fear. Reports are that the weather in the Far North this spring and early summer was more than usually rigorous, that severe storms have been frequent and that the ice is heavy. Consequently it la feared that Peary's Bhip may have been ground to pieces by the drifting ice-. ; Theexplorers' plans, when he left last summer, were to proceed to the farthest possible, point of land north of Cape Sabine and within 500 miles of the pole. There he was to establish a winter base and make all preparation for a trip across the ioe this summer as soon as weather conditions would permit. This he expected would not ' occupy more than six weeks and, according to hia calculations, he would reach home hot later than October of this year. Esquimaux and dogs, it is supposed, were taken aboard the Hoosevelt last summer,, far it is on the lianly inhabi tants of the polar Vgions that Peary has always relied.
