Philadelphia, Sept. 87.—With a
roynl welcome from members of the
Oeograpliical club and relatives of the
explorers, the arctio whaler Falcon,
having on board the members of the
Peary aud Peary auxiliary expeditions,
Mrs. Peary and the baby, arrived at
Washington avenue wharf. Interest
centered in the baby, the first white
child born so far north by hundreds o3
miles.
Mrs. Peary brought with her as nurse
Miss Ac-Ai-Eo-Ah, a girl about 12 yoars
old.
Speaking of the expedition, Harry
Bryant, one of tho ofllcors of tho Fal
con, said:
“I was second in command in the re
lief expedition of 1892, bnt I never en
countered snch severe weather as on
this trip. It was nothing but storm and
iee from tho time we left Disco in south
Greenland, July 17, uutil our return.
“On the second day after leaving
Disco we encountered three polar boars.
After this we had plenty of game. Wo
arrived In Melville bay July 17, and
were stuck in the ice off Cape York for
three days. Finally wo opened commu
nication with Lieutenant Peary at An
niversary lodge by Esquimau couriers,
id on August 1 Samuel J. Eutreldn, of
the Peary party, boarded our ship.
Previous to this time we stopped at the
Cory islands aud learned the foot that
Bjorling aud Kalstenius, tho two Swe
dish explorers, never reached the main
land alive. They were, when last heard
from, at Clarence Head Point.
“Wo tried to pash north Info the un
explored arctic coast, but we were
blocked by loe and finally had to aban
don tho plan. We then returned to An
niversary lodge and took back the mem
ber* of the Peary party now on'board.
They wore S. J. Kntrakiu of Philadel
phia: E. A. Strnpp of Norway: J. W.
Davidson of Austin, Minn.; Dr. Viuoeut
of Springfield. Ills.; G. H. Clarke of
Brooklyn; E. B. Baldwin, the meteorol
ogist: (i. H. Carr of Loudon: Walter
Swain oil Indianapolis; JIrs. Peary, Mrs.
Cross and tile baby. Licnfcaaat Peary,
servant. Matthew Ho.ison, and Hugh
Johnson Le; of IlrrMri, C.mi., re
amed to Anniversary lodge after ac
companying us as far as Petawick Gla
cier aud will make number trip north
next spring. Dr. Oiiou, another member
of the party, left us to return to Copen
hagen. ’
Neither Mr. Bryant, Mr. E. Debitsch,
rs. Peary’s brother-in-law, nor any
member of the Peary expedition would
say auything regarding the report that
Lieutenant Peary had foroed his crew
to eat walrus meat iu order that he
might save more provisions for his con-
opiated trip next year. In the hold
the veasel were a number of Esqui-
in dogs.

ing the Candidate for Governor.
Omaha, Sept.. 27.— 1 The fight In tho
convention was short and decisive, aud
the Bryan forces carried every point.
V’ re C...1.1. „ T’ f. ... —
E. P. Smith, a Bryan man, was murto
temporary chairman by an overwhelm
ing vote.
Tho fight was opened by Mr. Bryn:
who, when the central -omnilt tee’s man
Miller, had been named and seconded,
arose and said:
"I think we might aa well understand
each other in the beginning, aud savo
trouble. We who stand for free coin
age at 10 to 1 believe that tho state eon
tral committee postponed this conven
tion in spite of the wishes of a large
body of Democrats, aud we believe that
the object was to defeat their wishes;
and when the state central committee
found the party ovmvitp.’mhtrrly m
it, it might ns wed how tag, :, thuoh.tir
mail tho majority proposed.
“But it has refused to do this. V,
might as well comm me* tit' 1 tight now.
We have had conventions in which the
chairman refused to recognize tho ma
jority. I want to ray that any deioaat
who comes here instructed for 1(1 to
cannot disregard it. I ask those wilts
are with me to vote fur E. P. Smith.
