UNIVERSITY OF COPENHAGEN
After battling against death for al

him when the end came were Mrs.
Johnson, Miss Sullivan, her personal
friend, the attending physicians and !
two nurses. The last thing the gov-1
crnor did before lapsing into uncon- i
sciousness, one and a half hours be-!
fore death, was to take his wife's I
hand and weakly whisper: :
"Well, Nora, I made a good fight,
but I guess I've got to go."
Then, as the last gleam of intelli

city by the welcoming committee, "When my material has been
got together and put into shape, it will be submitted in the first
instance to the University of Copenhagen, and after that will be
laid before the geographical societies of the world. I would not

ItoferrliiK to Peary Cook Mild:
"I have as yet heard niithlnt; bull
raKue reports. I prefer for the pies-1
ent to believe that the statements
which are attributed to Peary are in
correct. 1 am fully prepared to meet
any charges, but I must first see
soiuethinK definite. I am absolute
ly certain that none of the reports ap
pearing in print emanate from either
my Kskimos or from Harry Whitney.
Whitney without doubt kept his
promise not to say anything about the
expedition or its result, and I feel
sure of my Eskimos. .Mr. Whitney
will return to America nbout the mid
dle of October. He has complete
knowledge of all the facts. Ho Is at
entire liberty to make public all he
knows. He Is neither bound to stand
up for me nor for Peary."
Cook Baid the Eskimos would be
brought to America If It was possible
to obtain a Bteamer this year.
Dr. Cook has not fixed his plans
and does not expect to go to the
north pole again, but may explore
the new bind discovered on his recent
trip. He will leave the south polo
exploration to Shackelton and Scott.
lie has decided, on account of the
overwhelming demand for autographs
and autographic photographs, to
make a uniform price of $10 each,
and will set aside, the proceeds to he
divided equally between the explor
ers and the arctic chilis, to be utilized
for future explorations.

Yesterday as his ship approached
New York. Dr. Cook said:
"It's good to be an American; It
seems 1 have been gone ten years."
Gazing toward the lights of New
York after an absence since July 4.
1IHI7, these were the first sentiments
expressed tonight by Dr. Frederick
A. Cook, of Brooklyn, as he paced the
deck of the steamship Oscar 11 wait
ing for daylight and the actual return
to his native land. ,
Dr. Cook was virtually at home to
night, for the Oscar 11 anchored off
Fire Island. The ship marked time,
as It were, so that there might be no
hitch In the home-coming reception
for the explorer. Though 60 miles
from the city proper, the Oscnr II Is
In easy wireless communication with
New York during the day and night.
Dr. Cook was on deck almost con
stantly nnd as sunset approached he
watched the brilliant panorama and
conversed with the newspaper men
through a mngaphone.
Dreads Ills Reception
"I feel anxious to get ashore," he
said, "but dread the ordeal of land
lng tomorrow. 1 would much prefer
landing quietly without u repetition
of the scenes at Copenhagen. I hope
1 shall be left In pence, with my fam
ily by tomorrow night at least.
Sonio New York papers were
brought to him ou board the vessel
this evening containing long reports
concerning I'eury s achievement. I)r
Cook i-cnd theni carefully, then said:
""''here Is nothing new here and
shall wait until something definite Is
puiillshed before 1 say anything fur
ther on the matter.
Mrs. Cook Is III at home and una
ble to meet her husband.
