Peary is Going North Again
WASHINGTON, April 17. - The Navy Department is making a great mystery over its action in detaching Civil Enginer R. E. Peary from the Brooklyn Navy Yard and placing him on waiting orders. It was said yesterday that the order had been issued at Lieut. Peary's request, and that he gave no reason in his application. To-day, however, it was learned that Lieut. Peary contemplates another exploring expedition, and had so informed the department, but for some reason it was desired to keep this information secret.
