AN IRATE PARSON.

Rev. Jos. Cook, Disturbed in Nap by a
Brother Divine with Whom he Had
Agreed to Attend a Prayer Meeting, Be"
HAYES ia a Most Unministeria1 Manner
KEEN, N. H. March 8.
An authorized version of q recent dis
play of ministerial pugilism has just been
made public, i'll which the Rev. Jo Cook
assaulted fellow clergyman at
hotel here for having called him
seven minutes too early to attend
prayer meeting. A local paper
la9t week published an account of the
encounter, but the conduct of the Rev.
Mr.. Cook was represented as so
gross that but few would believe in
the correctness of the narrative. To-day,
however, the belligerent clergyman is out
in letter in which the principal features
of the affair are admitted. The COM
mon version of the affair is this The
Rev. j. Cook was to deliver his lecture
on 'EThe Seven Wonders of the World"
in the City Hall one evening. On reach
ing town in the afternoon he took room
at the Cheshire House, where he was
called upon by the Rev. Mr.. Price, pastor
of the Second Congregational Church,
and invited to attend and take part in the
church prayer meeting just before the
lecture. At the time agreed upon Mr.
Price knocked at the door of Mr.. Cooks
room, but instead of being courteousIy
received, he was set upon by Mr.. Cook,
who in a towering rage, having appar-@
emily been disturbed in a nap, came out
in the hall, and selling the visitor began
pushing him about and otherwise laying
violent hands upon him, at the same time
using language unbecoming a gentleman.
The disturbance attracted the attention
of large number in the house, and land
lord Sherman, who was eating his supper,
was among the first to arrive at the
scene, but on seeing two of his distin-
guished guests engaged in private bust
ness, he returned to the dining-room and
finished his toast with as much COM
posture as Josh Whitcomb resumes his
prayer after throwing the drunken father
of little Tot through the window Other
witnesses say that the outcries of the en-
ragged lecturer were emphasized by the
use of such explosives as "Barbarian!'
s'Hottentot!" ''GoriIIa!n etc. The Rev.
Mr.. Price opened his meeting unas-
sisted, and there was large attend
ance, as usual; perhaps few more, as no.
tice had been given of the expected ap--
pearance of the Rev. Joe Cook. Before
many minutes had elapsed he was seen
by the pastor, seated near the door, and
as soon as practicable he left the desk
to speak with him, and returned unac-
companied. At the proper time Mr..
Cook was invited to lead in prayer,
which he did with seeming reluctance.
Singing followed and then he was invited
to speak, but instead of noticing the re-
quest, he seized his hat, and fastened
out of the church, not even taking care
that the door should not slam after him.

VIENNA, March 8.
Serious alarm and much excitement.
has been caused By the discovery by the
police of three large dynamite laboratories
in the heart of the city, all of which show
signs of having recently been occupied.
EVERYTHING indicated that dynamite was
then being manufactured, and that the
occupants had made a hasty exit. The
activity of the Terrorist party causes
greatest uneasiness among the wealthiest
classes, and a general feeling of insecur-
ity prevails on account of the number of
dynamite bombs being scattered broad
cast over the city Bombs are found in
the street almost daily. As yetno serious
explosion has taken place. The detective
force has been doubled, and is continu-
ally securing the city and suburbs for dy-
Mantle. Last evening a man dressed in
the garb of a workman was arrested
while attempting to smuggle d number of
small bombs into the city. He made q
desperate resistance, and attempted to
explode one of the bombs. He was finally
oyerpowered and taken to the police sta
ton. He refused to reveal the place
where he procured the bombs. From in
formation received by the police and from
other sources it is believed that dynamite
is being manufactured in the suburbs.
A number of detectives are actively
searching the suspected places. care
full examination of some of the dynamite
discovered has led to the belief that.
large quantities of the stuff are received
by Terrorists from friends in America,
and that it is shipped from America via.
Switzerland The Swiss authorities have
been asked to keep sharp lookout for
dynamite intended for shipment to Aus
tria The Austrian Government has Sc
cured the services of q number of Swiss,
detectives to aid in the search for eXplo-
siYes.
ROME, March 6.
Tt transpires that the German, Aus
TRAN, Spanish, French and other Ambas-
sailors here are receiving instructions to
confer with Mancini, the Italian Minister
of Foreign Affairs, regarding European
cooperation with a view to demanding
that the Government of the United States
enact legislation against the avoWed
dynamite emissaries. Some of the AM
bassadors declared themselves in favor of
reviying the stringent passport system
for all travellers from America. Others
say that the Government at Washington
is best able to adjust the remedy without
European interference. Signor Mancini
recognized the difficulty of the authori-.
ties at Washington in inaugurating legal
surveillance. He also points out the
English protection to foreign emissaries
who legally enjoyed immunity from ar
rest when the interests of Great Britain
were unmoIested. Some ambassadors
say that while England fostered revolu-
tionary incendiaries regardless of dis
asters to other nations, she now COM
plains only when she herself is damaged
Other ambassadors take the ground that
moral suasion is the only remedy for soc
ciaIistic evils.
