MOUNT M'KINLEY.
HAS THE SUMMIT BEEN REACHED.
Received Last Night, 5.50 o'clock. 1 NEW YORK, September 24.
Professors Hereschell and Parker, who recently failed in the ascent of Mount McKinley, in Alaska, deny that the summit has ever been reached, though Dr. Cook (the explorer) and the Floyd party claim to have succeeded. •
What is regarded as absolute proof that Dr F. A. Cook never accomplished the great climb up Mount M'Kinley of which he boasts, has been given by Mr Belmore Brown ! and four other members of the Parker expedition, who have, says an independent cable to the Australian press, just returned to Seattle from Alaska. • The party made an unsuccessful attempt to scale the famous mount, in the Alaskan Range. An altitude of 10,000 ft was reached, when the climbers found further progress stopped by an enormous wall of. ice. ' The mountain top was seen to be absolutely inaccessible on the south and east '-sides, and Mr Brown is satisfied beyond all doubt that Dr. Cook, never reached the • summit. •!,
