PEARY'S PLANS

A Preliminary Trip Planned for This Summer

NEW YORK, May 27. - Lieut. Peary, who yesterday received five years =
leave of absence from his duties in the navy for the purpose of making =
another attempt to reach the North Pole, will start north on July 8th, =
making a preliminary journey, the sole object of which will be to make =
arrangements for the final trip, which will be in July, 1898. Lieut. =
Peary's object in his preliminary trip will be to communicate with a =
colony of Esqumaux at Whale Sound. He has the utmost confidence in the =
people, and says they will do anything for him within their power. He =
will pick out six or eight of the most intelligent young men in the =
colony and prepare them to take their families north with them to =
establish another colony, which, the year after, will be his base of =
suppies. At this village, which they will found, they will work =
throughout the year collecting meat, furs and bearskins to be made into =
trousers. They will also make sealskin boots, sleds and other supplies, =
and will collect and train a pack of the best Esquimaux dogs obtainable.

Lieut. Peary will be accompanied on this summer's trip by his wife and =
three-year-p;d daughter, but on the main expedition Mrs. Peary and her =
child will remain in this country. Lieut. Peary is enthusiastic over the =
plans of his trip, and is looking forward to his five years of work with =
the greatest pleasure.

20,000 VISITED THE HOPE

Fed Peanuts to the Eskimo and Saw the Big Meteorite

Fully 20,000 persons visited Peary's arctic steamer Hope at her pier =
under the bridge, in Brooklyn, yesterday. A charge of 25 cents a head =
was made for admission to the vessel. It was understood $5,000 was =
collected, which will go toward defraying the expenses of Peary's work =
in the North. The interest of the visitors centred in the fur-dressed =
Eskimos, who readily accepted and devoured the peanuts and candies that =
were handed to them, much as those toothsome delleacles are distributed =
at a menagerie.

The high temperatire of the afternoon, at one time reaching 83o, proved =
very trying for the native of the far North and they went below for a =
time to remove their heavy fur clothing.

The Hope will be moved to the navy yard to-day, when the big meteorite =
will be taken from her hold and put ashore.

Steamer Hope Preparing to Sail

Lieut. Peary's steam whale, the Hope, left the Brooklyn Navy Yard =
yesterday for Elizabethport, where sufficient coal will be shipped to =
take her to Halifax. It is expected she will be ready to sail early next =
week. All the curios collected by Lieut. Peary and the members of his =
party while in the artic region have been removed from the navy yard. =
They, with the six Esquimos, have been send to the Museum of Natural =
History, where they will be exhibited during the Winter. The material =
found in Greeley's camp, at Cape Sudin, has been sent to the War =
Department, to be added to the collection there. The meteorite will =
remain at the Brooklyn Navy Yard for some time.=20

The Eskimos who were brought here from Greenland by Lieut. Perry are =
suffering greatly from the warm weather. Their spirits are unaffected, =
however, and at an informal reception at the Museum of Natural History =
they entertained their guests with representations of how seals are =
speared. They also expressed a wish to have American girls for wives.
