Most of the workmen there are said to be foreigners. Secretary Nagel lias received- nu merous requests to order an immediate inquiry. He is said to have the ques tion under adA’isement, and all papers relatiA’e to this matter have been for- Avarded to him at his su-mmer home at Marion, Mass.

He had a revolver apd shot and killed the animal. The people, hearing the shot, rushed from their houses and chased Manrique, stoning him. He would probably have escaped, but a stone hit him on the head and knocked him from the wheel. The people seized him, dragged him back to where the dog’s carcass lay, heat the lad to death and left his body in the road.

Dr. Cook has forwarded the instru ments with which he made his obser- A'ations, both before and after reaching the coA'etM goal,' to this city and also a copy of his records. They are in the custody of Harry Whitney, Avhom Dr. •Cook met in Greenland, on his return from the north. Mr. Whitney is said to be. on the Avay to New York from Greenland, and the friends of the ex plorer are confident his arriA’al Avill clear away all doubt. The reception tendered to Dr. Cook at Copenhagen, Denmark, by King Frederick was a remarkable one. The members of the royal family vied with each other in showering attention on the explorer and plied him Avith ques tions concerning his wonderful, achieve ment. . ^ King Frederick arranged the dinner for Dr. Cook after Professor Elia Stromgren had examined a portion of the proofs in Dr. Cook's possession and expressed the opinion that there was no possible doubt that Dr. Cook had reached the'pole. This approA’al was accentuated' by the assertion of Com mander Novgaard, aide-de-camp to the king, that there could be no question of Dr. Cook having reached the pole. Gives Him , Highest Decoration.

Other European govern ments have signified their intention of honoring the American, While Dr. ; Cook’s data are incom-1 plete—some having been shipped from Greenland by different A’essels to avoid the danger of shipwreck—there is still enough to bear out Dr. Cook’s asser tion and to convert the most skeptical. The London Chronicle in a highly skeptical article asks how Cook sent his diaries to America and AA hy, if he Avas able to send them to America from . Greenland, he did not_ go to America first himself. D?! Cook gives much credit to Ex plorer Sverdrup, declaring that it was the.latter’s route and charts that giiid- ed hiqi in his'dash through the frozen north. i Daily Bulletin Issued to Financier's Friends Says He Is In Same Condi tion as Previous Week, but Prom i nent New York State Politician De clares He Is a Very Sick Man, Though Denying He Has Cancer. NeAv York, Sept. G.—A report reached here from Arden, N. Y., the country seat of E. H. Harrimaii, that the finan cier had suffered a relapse and that for a time his condition was very seri ous. Dr. W. S. Lyle, Avho accompanied Mr. Hari'iman, was the only physician ill attendance, and, it is said, he ad ministered oxygen and sent a hurry gall to New York for trained nurses. The nurses were Avhirled to Arden in a special train. The regular bulletin giA^en out pri vately to friends of Mr. Harriman A v a s that he Avas in about the same condi tion as the previous week and that no anxiety was felt regarding the out come Of his case. A dispatch from Turner, N. Y., says the through exiiress stopped at Arden to let off passengers and was met by Mr. McClellan, one of Mr. Harriman’s trusted employees, with two automo biles. It A^as thought there were doc tors in the Y^arty. . - WitiOu ;since hS r e t ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ on Aug. 24, but Jacob H. Schlff, i__ Rev. J. Holmes McGiiinness, Mr. Har- riman’s pastor, and others close to the financier who visited Arden declared that he was, a well man and was in no danger of collapse. i It Avas a little more than a week ago that Mr. vSehiff vl.sited Arden. He left the house beaming, declaring that the rejTort that Mr. Harriman was to be operated upon was Avitliput founda tion and that tlie financier was not worse Off ph.A'sically than he was when he came home, from abroad. “Ho is better iii fact,” said Mr. Sebiff. “He eats heartily and is able to AA’aIk.about.the piazza. He is mere ly' Avenk and in need of a rest. There is no necessitj’ for an operation on Mr Harriman.” Says He Is In Critical Condition. Another friend of. the financier, who spent soA'cral hours at Arden, cor roborated Mr. Schitf and declared that Mr. HaiTiinan made it kiioAvu that he Is not going.to retire, but that he in tends to giA’e up in detail the sort of work that hnike him doAvn. He de clared he would stay iii tiie railroad business and exercise general super vision over his many lines. . A prominent N cav York state poii- tician who is very close to Mr. Harri man has, however, insisted from the first that his friend is in a very sori- ons condition, but denies that Mr. Har- riman’s real trouble is cancer.
