EARLIER TELEGRAMS.

THE NORTH POLE,

Washington; June 3. Ometal circles are perplexed at the report from Ottawa that Mr. Stewart, the Canadian Minister of the Interior told the Dominion House of Commons that Canada expects to claim any landa discovered north of Canada as far as the Pole.

Ottawa, June 3.

Mr. Mackensie King announced in the House of Commons that the Government expected shortly to appoint a Canadian representative at Washington but difficulty was experienced in obtaining anyone willing to accept on account of the personal financial outlay involved.
