DID PEARY FAIL?
TO REACH POLE. ■vs / ■ ; , if (U " *''•.. [United Presß Association.—By Electric Telegraph.-—Copy righ fc. ] TORONTO, Oct. 14. ~ Regarding the Peary expedition, Major Rurwash as the Head of the North-west Territories Department has been thirty-three years in the Arctic. On ea,ch trip he made inquiries' of the Eskimos' as to their farthest north movements with or without the white man. Major Burwash would not give his owh opinion, reserving it for a report on the whoß subject of the latest Northern expedition for the Government. The same inference that Peary failed has quietly pervaded official circles. Through this year, Arctic explorers who come and go quietly on survey work have marvelled how Peary could have got there and back with dogs in th,e time claimed by him. They held their peace, not desiring to disturb th.e acclaim awarded him, but there is no doubt in their own minds that the feat was next to impossible.
