A WARM RECEPTION.
DR. COOK AT COPENHAGEN. Dr. F. A. Cook, who two and a half years ago was acclaimed as tho discoverer of the North Pole, had a lively experience upon his arrival in Copenhagen, states a recent cable message published in Svdney. The people there had not forgotten the doctor and his graphic narrative of how he reached tho Pole, and were ready to give him the only sort of reception to which they thought ho was entitled.
As lie made his way through the streets of the cilv tho doctor soon found himself tlio object of hostile demonstration, and he was finally obliged to seek tho aid of tho polioc in protecting him from tho mobs by which he was followed. Dr. Cook has abandoned the lecturing tour that lie intended to make in Europe, and will speak only in Copenhagen, where he hopes to convince the Danish scientists tlint he really disc-ovcm! the North I'olc.
