PEARY TRIUMPHS
AND REACHES POLE
lashes News of His Discovery During
Homeward Voyage.
Found No Rrace of Cook on Arctic
Journey Brief Message F rem
Labrador Coast Announces Sue
cess After a Lifetime of Effort
World Awaits Arrival.
New York, Sept 7. Peary has
reached the North Pole. It baa been
doubly discovered. From the bleak
coast of Labrador Commander Peary
yesterday flashed the news that he bad
attanedbis goal in the f ar worm,
while at the same moment in Denmark
Dr. Frdarick A. Cook was being dined
and lionized by royalty lor the same
achievement
Yankee grit has conqueredLthe frozen
North and there baa been created a co-
incidnce such as the world will never
see again.
Two Americana nave piantea ine
flag of their country in the land of ice,
which man haa nought to penetrate for
four centuries t and each, ignorant of
the other's conquest, has sent within a
oeriod of five days, a loeoaconic mea-
aaee of success.
A dispatch from SL Johns, n. r .,
savs that Peary found no trace of Dr.
Cook. Thia newa reached hero laat
night through Captain Robert Bartlett,
ef the Roosevelt, Peary's ship.
While Peary doea not expressly re
pudiate Dr. Cook's contention in ao
many words, hia statement may have
an important bearing upon determining
the extent of Dr. Cook's explorations.
The Roosevelt was in good condition
and the crew all right, Captain Bart
lett wired, and he reported that the
schooner Jeannie, carrying auppliea for
the expedition, had met them off the
coast of Greenland.
RAILROADS IN WAR.
New Schedules Being Arranged
Pacific Coast Lines.
for
' Chicago, Sept 7. When the Hill
lines announced five days ago that they
would lop ten hours off the fastest
time between Chicago and the North
Pacific coast points they inaugurated a
speed war that has now spread over
the entire transcontinental railway
map. In the Southwest territory, the
fight is on for the mail contracts, but
to get these, the roads must put on
faster and better trains. The Santa
Fe proposes to cut ten hours off its
time between Kansas City and Los
Angeles and its rival! are scurrying
in every direction and ordering their
experts to "string" new acheulee, get
equipment in the topmost condition
and be ready to meet the time of the
Santa Fe.
The fight started when the Hill
lines apparently sought to forestall the
St Paul road, which, with iU Puget
sound extension, will soon bo in a posi
tion to make trouble in regard to rates
and mall contracts.
Both of these moves took the com
petitors of the Burlington by surprise
and caused no end of scurrying and
consultation.
