Indian trader, arrived here tonight, and
brings inteJige ace of a cold blooded mur-
der at Red Lake, a trading post forty miles
north Of Lubs City, in this county. Mr..
Styary says he and Thomas Collins were
seated at table in Sam Dittenhooffer' s
place playing whist, when Collins suddenly
atruck the table with his fist, almost
breaking a lamp. The cook, woman,
asked him to be quiet when
Collins uttered several oaths. Dittenhof-
fer, who was in bed, enquired the cause of
the noise and arose and dressed himself.
He asked Collins TO make no disturbance in
his house, whereupon Collins advanced and
called him vile names, at the same time
drawing a 39-calibre revolver, and
shot Dittonhoffer through the heart.
Collins held his gun, and threatened
TO kill anyone who came near
him, and after asking if his victim was
dead, backed out of the door and made his
escape on horse back.
DIttenhoffer was well known and highly
respected by everyone, and was a great
fayorite with the Indians, VINO learned CT
the killing and next morning started in
pursuit of the murderer. If the Navaioes
run him down he will be tortured to death.
Collins has an unsavory reputation in this
vicinity, and is known as "horse rustler. u

Especial to THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch
VALPARAISO, Nov. 2S.-The big American
clipper ship Rappahannock was burned to
the waters edge on the night of November
II, while at anchor in the harbor Of Cum
berland bay, in the northern part of the
South Pacific island of Juan Fernandez.
Captain Wiley Dickinson, his wife and the
crew, took to the boats and escaped. They
arrived here yesterday en- board the Chill
ian dispatch boat Duelmuel. They were
taken in charge by the American consul at
this port and will be sent to San Francisco
Captain Dickinson says the flames swept
from stem to stern so quickly that it was
impossible to save the ship. Spon taneous
com bustion is believed to have been the
cause.
The Rappahannock was one of the largest
ships ever launched from an American
shipyard. She left Liverpool on August
80 last and was bound for San Francisco
with valuable cargo of general merchan-
Disc She was just about due in San Fran
cisco, and her agents were anxiously
awaiting intelligence of her arrival.

A Free FIGHT in Omaha's City Council.

OMAHA, Nov 2S.-A special meeting of
the city council tonight wound up in big
row, in which three councilmen severely
pounded each other and the spectators pres
ent had to separate them. There has been
bad blood for some time between Council
men Specht, Moriarity and Blumer on &C
count of charges Of boodling. After words,
Blumer grasped Specht by the throat and
the latter retaliated with a sledge hammer
blow which drew blood from Blumer's
mouth. The men greppled and fell, when
Moriarity rushed up and began kicking
Specht. One OF the spectators objected to
his kicking a man when down, and when
Moriarity did not desist the obiector laid
the belligersnt kicker low with a blow
which cut an ugly cash in Moriarity's chin.
BY this time the other councilmen and
spectators rushed in and separated the men
and the meeting adjourned.

GLADSTONE SPEAKS
He Reviews Salisbury's Birming-
ham Argument.
THE PREMIER ROUNDLY SCORED
He Seems Ignorant of What is Going on In the
British Empire-Liberal Reasons for
Irish Home Rule.

LONDON, Nov. S.-.Gladstone was to- day
participant in the exercises attending the
formal opening of the hall at Port Sun
light, near Birkerhead He made an ad-
dress Of considerable length, devoting
much attention to reviewing SRlisbury's
argument in his Birmingham speech and
declared Salisbury seemed ignorant of
what was going on in the British empire.
Salisbury had called home rule ''capsuled
medicine" Doubtless he was an authority
on physic, as he had to take sew
eral nasty doses in recent years, like
that at the Meulben election Salisbury had
talked OF coming massacres and cruelty in
Ireland if the home rule bill passed. The
The premier was like a ally nurse maid
who, when unable to pacify child by ra-
tional means, tried to brighten it with sto-
rles OF hobgoblins. Let the people dismiss
such imaginations. They must be patient
till Lord Salisbury gave them an opportu-
nifty OF deciding the question, then they
would see such bubbles blown into the air
acd the reign of justice and good sense re-
stored in politics.
Two reasons for placing home rule in the
van OF the Liberal policy were justice to
ireland and the necessity of clearing the
road for other legislation.
Speaking on the labor question, Glad
stone said the problem could be solved only
by sound, civil, secular and Christian
1eellng, and respect for mutual rights.
Front sharing was attractive, but there
was question what to do when there was
a'loss instead of a profit. Strikes were
only adapted to what he might call a rude
state OF industry. Much might be hoped
from cooperative distribution and produc-
ton towards a solution of the problem,
because this would give the laborer the
same position and feeling as capitalist
In an eloquent peoration Gladstone ap-
pealed to his hearers to give workers, be-
SIDES an increase Of wages and decrease
OF hours, sense of common feeling with
their employers, to establish the brother
hood of man and man, to look to the heart
and conscience as well as the appetite and
ambition for solution of these difficulties,
and above all to look to Providence to
shape our ends; and recollect the sacred
words: BEHOLD how good and pleasant q
thing it is for brethren to dwell together in
unity,n

ANNIE BESANT TALKS
She Denies Being in Any Sense
Nine. Blavatsky's Successor.
The Mysterious Letters the Madame Received
We're Not ForgedShe Has Had Letters
in the Same Handwriting.

LSpecialto THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-Mrs. Annie Besant
arrived on the City of Berlin yesterday.
In an interview she denied being in any
sense the successor of Nine Blavatsky. the
late head of the Theosophists' society. She
occupied none of the official positions which
Nine. Blvatsky had occupied, she said, and,
as far as being the leader of the society, as
Nine. Blavatsky was she Mrs. Besant)
had never assumed or claimed that position.
sit has been reported here" said the re-
porter, that you have puhli4y claimed to
be in receipt of letters from tue mysterious
founders OF the society, which letters came
to you as Nine. Blavatsky said they came
to her, in some mysterious way outside of
such material means of communication as
ordinary mortals use.n
81 am glad to put that right" said Mrs.
Resent. What actually did say in St.
James hall in London in a recent lecture was
this: Nine. Blavatsky had been accused in
that same hall two weeks before of having
forged the letters which came to her from
the founders of the society. l said that it
was not true that she had forged them, for
since her death l had received letters in the
same handwriting from the same person. so
that she could not have forged those which
she received. My only thought was to de-
fend her from the charge of forgery"
But do you receive letters in what the
world generally would call miraculous
manner? If so, why not show them?"
What would be the good! 1t comes down
to question of veracity. l get such let
tiers. that is true"
"How are such letters transmitted!''
persisted the interviewer.
81 do not care to go into particulars. In
recent lecture by Prof. Crooks, f. r. S.,
he said that science was beginning TO see
that it was possible to communicate
without the costly machinery of wires,
etc He said that etheric vibrations were
| means of communication that could be
used"
''Do you expect the reincarnation OF
Nine. Blavatsky?" was the next question.
81 don't know anything about it. l pre-
sumo it will occur some time"
"You believe in reincarnation?"

"If Nine. Blavatsky is reincarnated, will
she have the power to communicate with
other people:'
''Certainly."
"Will she know that she was Nine. Bla-
vatsky?"
Yes"
Then does an individual retain the mem
ory of previous incarnatioDs in any speci-
fed oner'
Not necessarily, but after that individ

Nine. Blavatsky had reached, he does re-

The Kings, Record in Denrer.

DENVER, Colo. Nov. 2S.-TSpecial tele-
gram to THE HERALD. THE arrest of the
Kings, the Kansas City abductors, seems
TO have sprung a surprise on Arapahoe
county officials. If the descriptions of the
gang are correct, they were arrested In
Denver last summer on charge of steals
ing fourteen horses near Manhattan Beach.
They got out on bail some way or other,
and the next heard was the news sent from
Kansas City. They were known as Sepale
here, which is doubtless an alias, and were
considered hard people.
Public Indignation over the crime all
along has been at a high pitch. A mob this
evening began 10 gather around the Jail
where the prisoners are confined, and the
temper manifested was so ugly that the po-
lice considered it prudent to remove the
kidnapers out of towe. Accordingly they
were spirited to Independence.
George Ford, who was present when
Beals paid the ransom to the unknown
man, called at the Jail to-day and after
carefully looking over King, asserted he
was not the man to whom the money was
paid.
