Boston, MASS, March s.
The local inspectors who investigated
the wreck of the steamer City of Colum-
bus, with the loss of seventy-five of her
eighty-fve passengers and twenty-eight
of forty-ffve in the crew, report that the
backing of the engines after the ship
struck was a fatal mistake. The report
goes on to say: When the last course
was given Mate Harding by Captain
Wright, the ship was where any ordinary
landsman could have taken her past the
fatal rocks without the chart or compass.
We cannot help believing that had a
special pilot been on Suty no such disaS-
ter could have happened on such a night
The immediate and direct cause of this dis
aster was the neglect of the man or men to
watch the ships course. Captain S. i.

least one hour before she struck was not

A BAD STATE OF AFFAIRS.

Corning, o., All Torn Up Over The Recent
Expulsion of Andy McDevitt from the
TOwn-A Ware of Fnctions Likely to Result.
COLUMBUS, o., March 6.
The trouble over the McDeyitt abduc-
tion at Corning is getting worse. Every
turn of affairs seems to irritate it, till there
is danger of violence. Andy McDevitt,
who promised the mob last Sunday night
that he would never set foot in the town
again, returned Yesterday accompanied by
his friends carrying rifles McDevitt was
given a royal reception. Fully 1900
people met him at the depot and
escorted him to his store, where
he held an ovation during the
day, but did not remain in the town over
night He and Father B. NJ. O'Boylan
have, however, not as yet been in the
town at the same time since last
Sunday The reverend father left for
New Lexington on the train previous
to McDeVitt's arrival, expecting to re-
turn on the next train, but when he
saw the McDevitt party on the cars he
did not board it, and remained at the
County Jail with the members of his
congregation, who are under arrest. The
case of Father O'Boylan was postponed
till Friday The others will have
no hearing till the Grand Jury
meets next Monday, as they waived q
preliminary examination. Andy McDev-
lit came up to New Lexington in the af-
ternoon, and Father O'Boylan returned
to Corning. McDevitt swore out twelve
more warrants, making twenty-six in all,
with more to follow. To cOmplicate the
present desperate social condition of this
mining region, four arrests were made
for the lynching of Richard Hickey, two
weeks ago, and efforts are being made to
have Andy McDevitt indicted for killing
Ira Quickbaum in self-defense a
year ago. There is a desperate state
of affairs at Corning and Rendville.

Rev. Jos. Cook, Disturbed in n Nap by m
Broth r Div ne with Whom he Had Agreed
to Attend "a Prayer Meeting, Behaves i'm n
Most UnmInisterfaI Manner.
KEEN, N. II. March 6.
An authorized version of recent dis
play of ministerial pugilism has just been
made public, in which the Rev. 10. Cook
assaulted fellow clergyman at a
hotel here for having called him
seven minutes too early to attend
prayer meeting. A local paper
last 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 a letter in which the principal features
of the a flair are admitted. The COM
mon version of the affair is this; The
Rev J. Cook was to deliver his lecture
on 'FThe Seven Wonders of the World"
| i'm the City Hall one evening. On reach
ing town in the afternoon he took a 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 courteously
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 seiZing the visitor began
pushing him about and otherwise laying
violent hands upon him, at the same time
using language unbecoming n 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 busi-
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 expletives as "Barbarian!"
"Hottentotr' "GOrillaf" etc. The Rev.
Mr.. Price opened his meeting unas-
sisted, and there was n large attend
ance, as usual perhaps a few more, as no.
tice had been given of the expected APP
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
I to speak, but instead Of noticing the re-
quest, he seized his hat, and hastened
out of the church, not even taking care
! that the door should not slam after him

vienna-FOreigu Ambassadores Instruct
ed to Confer with n View to Demanding
RepressiVe Measures by the United States
Against Dynamiters-A Dig at Brother
John.
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,
Everthing indicated that dynamite was
then being manufactured, and that the
occupants had made hasty exit. The
activity of the Terrorist party causes
greatest uueasineSs among the wealthiest
classes, aud 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 number of
small bombs into the city. He made
desperate resistance, and attempted to
explode one of the bombs. He was finally
overpowered 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. A care
ful 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 a number of Swiss
detectives to aid il the search for explo-
sives.
ROME, March 9.
It transpires that the German, Aus.
trian, Spanish, French and other Ambas-
sadors here are receiving instructions to
confer with Mancfni, the italian Minister
of Foreign Affairs, regarding European
cooperation with view to demanding
that the Government Of the United States
enact legislation against the ayowed
dynamite emissaries. Some of the Am
bassadors declared themselves in favor of
reviving 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 unmolested. 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 So
cialistic evils.

Secretary Folger suggests several
amendments to the Patten Bill, and says:
II doubt whether the people would ap-
prove its provisions. 1t is certainly
open to the charge of being partial to
the banks; and its effect, whether in
tended or not, would seem to be to
defer calling in security bonds until such
times as bonds not used as a basis of
circulation shall have been called, and
do not think it wise policy to thus dis
criminate in favor of banking associa-
tions, and against all other bond-holders."
