London, March 9. -There seems to be no further doubt u to the discov- ery of the South Pole by Captain Roald Amundsen, the Norwegian ex- plorer. His silence upon his arrival in Hobart, Tasmania, is explained by the fact that he had contrasted to sell an exclusive account of his trip to a syndicate of p; . His salon were kept aboard the "gram," and no one was allowed to see them. The story appears in several papers in the syndicate and is closely guard- ed .xy copyright. It tells a clear and definite story of the leaving of winter quarters and the dash to the Pole. which was reached on December 14. The narrative reads like the tale of a winter tramp in bright frosty air and, although the cold was severe, the traditional hardships were almost entirely lacking. The party stayed about four days at the spot which they ascertained to be the Pole, nam-• ed it "Polheim" and planted flags. Atter taking ob•ervtione in clear sun- shine they returned as from • jaunt. The whole story reads most prosiaii- all . Captain Amundsen intends to stay at Hobart for a few days. Be will then go to Australia and. give a few lectures there, afterwards departing for Europe by the circuitous route of Buenos Ayres, then round Cape Horn, up to the Behring Straits and through the Northwest f>aseage and the Arctic Ocean. The confirmation of Capt. Amund- sen's attainment of the South Pole on December 14, 1911, received yesterday from the explorer himself at Hobart. Tasmania, Bete at rest the conflicting reports current en the subject yes- terday. Christiania. March 9. -When Capt. Resold Amundsen's brother, Leon, per- sonally took the explorer's telegram announcing that he had attained the South Pale to King Haakon Thurs- day. His Majesty was attending •the manoeuvres at Sandviken. }ging Haakon immediately read the de- spatch and addressed one to Amund- sen at Hobart, Tasmania. saving: "I thank you for the information. The Queen and I beg to send you and all on board the Fram our most cor- dial congratulations on the occasion of your results, which are su satis- factory to all of us (Signed) "Haakon." Thus is all the correspondence that has passed between King Haakon and Capt. Amundsen. King George of Great Britain and King Frederick of Denmark have telegraphed their feli- citations to King Haakon. New York, March 9. -The following message from Captain Amundsen is in reply to s cable from The New York Times, informing him that de- spatches from New Zealand credited him with the statement that Captain Scott had reached the South Pole, and asking whether these reports were true or net. It will las noted that Amundsen replies in the third person: (Special Cable to The New York Times.) Hobart. Tasmania. March 9. - Amundsen knows nothing about Scott. From H. 1). Baker, United States ooneul: (Special Cable to The New York Times.)

Toronto, Merck s. -Hon. Edward Blake. distinguished scholar, lawyer and statesman, died at his residenoe 411 Jarvis street, shortly before seven o'clock last night. Although he had been in failing health for • long per- iod, his death, despite his old age, was entirely unexpected and tragic. A few moment before he expired he was carried from hi,. bedroom by aF teudents and placed in a chair in his library, where he had spent many h. urn each day during his illness. While in a sitting position he col- lareed and had succumbed before aid of any kind could be administered. In the study at the time of death were an widow, his son, 1' .me Blake, and his daughter, Sirs. George M. Wrong. Hon. 8. H. Blake, his broth- er, was immediately- notified. Five years ago Hon. Edward Blake became an invalid, and since that time had to be wheeled about in • chair. While in England he was seiz- e i be n ceralvtie etreke and had nev- aa..-, ,.-...0 141..%KE. er recovered from it. 1t was two weeks ago he became seriously- ill, neceul- tating hie removal from the library to the bedroom:. However, the India - position seemed to last only a few days, for on Sunday he had rallied sufficiently to be taken back to the library, where he longed to gaze upon the street, with l.is armchair stand- ing near the window. Several nurses were in attendance during the plies two weeks. The death of Edward Blake means the removal of a great figure from Canadian lite," said Chancellor Sir John A. Boyd. "In earlier years he wee easily the leader in the profes- sion of law. and afterwards he took an equally commanding position in political life, first in Canada and then in the Imperial Parliament. ` "A great man has passed, but his memory .and influence will not die." Hon. Edward Blake was' born in the Township of Adelaide, Middlesex County, on Oct. 13, 1833. He was the son of William Hume Blake and Cath- erine Hume, granddauwhter of Wil- llam Hume, M.P., of ' Humewood, Wicklow County. Ireland. He came from Ireland in 1832, intending to settle upon a farm in Upper Canada. He soon. however, found himself un- fitted for the rough life of a pioneer, and took up his residence In Toronto. There he became • distinguished member of the legal profession. and upon his election to tate Parliament of United Canada in 1848, proved 0130 of the leading orators of that assem- bly. He was appointed Solicitor -Gen- eral of Upper Canada under the Bald- win -Lafontaine administration, and subsequently became the first chan- cellor of Upper Canada. Mr. Blake wee educated in Toronto. In 1847-8 he mate a tour abroad, when Europe was stirred by new democratic and national sentiments. He was graduated from Upper Canada College with the Governor -General's prise. He obtained his degree of bachelor of arts. with a silver medal in claaeica, from the University of To- ronto in 1864, and his degree of master of arta in 1858. In 1851 he was called to the Bar and commenced the prac- tice of law as a partner of Mr. 8. M. Janie. Subsequently. with his brotip air, Hon. S. H. Blake, he founded the firm which still bears the family name. He was appointed a Queen's Counsel in 1864. Hon. Edward Blake entered upon hie politioal life in the first year of the Canadian Confederation. One year ausloed to make him the leader of the party in the Ontario Legisla- ture and four to make him Premier of the province. Four times he was in- vited to saaurwe the ieaderski) of the Liberal members of the F. rs1 ?se - !lament before he finally consented le 1880. Had he accepted the offer mads to him in 1871, he.

Oode rich DEAR Stat, -I suppose that you will ,e more surprised than you have been or a long time in receiving this com- .uunicatiun from me, thinking that perhaps I had passed over to the Great Beyond, but I am still alive and on earth. i noticed in The Signal of 8th ult. a sew days ago that you were credited In Making an effort to induce the De- partment of Militia to grant the re- rneiniog Fenian veterans a pension for life. . Air. Vi right, 1 hope your effort+ in .his direction will prove successful. Of course there are not a great many survivor... but it will no doubt he some help to those who are loo old to wurk or oho cannot get work, I do not supp:'se that it will be any news to you for me to say that 1 claim to he one of those veterans. I joined the company- when Capt. Hogs organ- ized it and was with it till i left the 01.E town in 18917. Now 1 will ask you if yon are called neon for a Bat of the names of the yet - .ns to kindly- include mine with the motes of Samuel Furze and John Brophry. i believe we three are the only ones alive of the (oderich Artil- le,y Co.

A few months ago i naw a small artiele in The Signal giv- ing the names of Furze and Brophey as the only surviving members of.tbat company-, but 1 supposed the Signal pian was either too young to know nit• or never heard of Inc. so I didn't contradict him but let it pass over. I was pleased to read that the old veteran Copt. Moutgotmey is still in the land of the living. i remember him well when he paid his visite to the poetofflce, where 1 was from 1849 to 114916, nine years. i struck Goderich on Jane 'Loth. 18::1, and liv-d there continuously till lam. fourteen years altogether•, and i sometimes wonder If there are any people living there now who were livipg there then, nearly 69 yearn ago. 1 was a boy of sixteen years when 1 landed in Goderich and If i live till June 1 will be 75. but I feel as fine. as good and healthy as ever I did in my life. only I am getting older every day.
