Dr. Frederick A. Cook dined Sunday night with "ig Fred erick, at the summer palace, a few miles outside of Copenhagen. The king summoned Dt. Cxiok to an audience Saturday, a.s a formal courtesy. They had an hour's talk, and while these royal audiences cannot, according to etiquette, he minutely described by the members of the court, IV. Cook made such an impression on the king that the latter immediately instructed the court chamberlain Ic summon the explorer to dine with him Sunday night. The dinner was entirely the result of the king's personal opinion regarding the explorer, who had the sest on the king's right, an honor which Dam s can not remember having been accorded another private person, anr. members of the royal family llstenec to his every word as he recounted th dangers and privations of his pilar journey. Receives Telegram from Taft. Dr. Cook was immensely pleased by a telegram from President Taft, in which the president extended hit . hearty congratulations. He had to undergo an ordeal on Sun. dav, being bombarded on every sld with questions, intended to test tin accuracy of his affirmations. Astronomers Are Convinced. Ore of the most exacting periods ot :he diy was an Interview with Professor Stromherg, leading Scandinavian astronomer, who says when he is pee mitted to examine Dr. Cook's obsei rations he can decide within a hall day whether Ihe explorer lias been at the pole. Several other expert ArctU explorers were cPscted In conversa. tlon with Dr. Cook. When they cams on', they anpeared thoroughly convinced of his absolute good faith. Dr. Cook ROBERT E. PEARY. Famous Arctic Explorer. through Captain Robert Bartlett, of the Roosevelt, Peary's ship." Dr. Frederick A. Cook was seated at dinner, surrounded by a unmant company, when the news of Peary's discovery was received in Copenhagen. Dr. Cook was immensely interested, and said: 'That is good news. I lope Peary did get to the pole. HL' observations and report on that region will confirm mine." And thus it seems that the North Pole has been doubly discovered. Two Americans have planted the flag of their country in the land of Ice, which man has sought to penetrate for four centuries; and each ignorant of the other's conquest has sent within a period of five days a laconic message of success. On September 1, Dr. Cook sent out from the Shetland islands the first message of his success, a message which has aroused a storm of controversy around the world. And now Robert E. Peary, lost from view In the land of ice. and unheard from since August, 1908, his startled the world by a similar message sent from Indian Harbor, Labrador. There was no qualification; it left no doubt. With hut a word from Peary, the world waits for details, but none will be available until he arrives at Chateau Bay, Labrador. It was comparatively a simple matter to ascertain that the April fl referred to by Peary was Aoril of this year, as his expedition dd not start from New York until July 7, 1908. From the time Peary wrote his last letters home from his d pot of supplies at Etah in August. 1908, until he flashed the magic words from Indian Harbor, nothing was known of the fight he had been making across the frozen crust of the north.

"That dispatch from Peary means thai he has flnallv achieved what he has so long been after." said Henry Gannett, an old friend of Peary, and vice prsjsideill of the National Geographic Sorjoly.
