ANNIE BEsANT ATTACKED.
Sensational Scene on Board the
Liner Paris.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-The Herald
says: The American liner Paris, six
days twenty hours and forty-five min
utes from Southampton, came into port
yesterday with long list of notables.
The story of an attack upon Annie
Besant, champion of theosophy, by
DR.. Brandreth, son of pillmaker and
cracker distributor, and DR.. Bernardo. of
the London city mission AID home for
poor children, champions of Christian
ity, was told when the steamer tied up
at her pier. Mrs. Besant made an ad-
dress last Wednesday evening. She had
been invited to talk on the
osophy by DR.. Abbot in person.
and when Mrs. Besant spoke the
saloon was crowded with lawyers,
merchants and others. The East In
dian theosophists, Prof. Ganeneda Nath
Chakravarti and Hevavitarana Dharm-
pala, occupied seats next to the high
priestess of theosophy. Rev. Mr.. Pente-
cost presided, and his introduction OF
Mrs. Besant was followed by applause.
She told of mahatmas, and explained
the various theories of soul evolution.
and when she closed her address with
all appeal for fairness and discrimina-
ton her hearers applauded vigorously.
a voice in the rear of the saloon asked:
"Can l ask a question of Mrs. Be-
sant?" before the applause had SUBJ
sided.
"Certainly. DR.. Brandretn.' replied
Mrs. Besant.
"What good is there in theosophy
anyhow?" began DR.. Brandreth. why
give up Christianity? Doyou think the
founders of theosophY know more than
the founders of Christianity?" Mrs.
Besant did not answer,

Talk Revived OF Making Use OF

WASHINGTON, Sept. Sin the senate
the entire week will, in all probability,
be consumed i'll the consideration of the
bill for the repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman act. There will
probably be some diversion from the
main subject tomorrow when Mr.. Voor-
hees attempts to secure the adoption of
the resolution of which he gave notice
yesterday for IL o'clock sessions; but
this resolution is only means OH the
part of the supporters of the bill to
force its more speedy consideration,
and may, therefore, be considered as
a part of the scheme to devote the
entire time of the senate to the repeal
measure. The bill for the extension of
bank circulation is still OIL the calendar
as the regular order, but there can be
little question that 1t Will be side
tracked by its author in the interest of
the repeal bill. In fact, there is moth

side, and Messrs. Hale and Sherman on
the Republican side, to force the senate
to squarely face the one issue for which
the session was mainly called, and to
allow no side issue to divert its atten-
tion from that object. This is under
stood to be the desire of the administra-
ton, and it is probable that if any as
stance were necessary in bringing the
senate to acquiesce in the programme
OF MIR. Voorhees,. it would be freely
given by the executive branch of the
government. 1t would seem probable
that there may be quite a sharp
skirmish over the early meeting
resolution tomorrow before the begin
ming of the real business to which
Senator Voorhees, referred in giving
notice Of the Introduction of the resolu-
tion. Tlfe silver senators announce
their intention of opposing the resolu-
tion as test of strength. This furry

MANKATo. Mimi, Sept. S.-One OF
the most mysterious and sensational
tragedies which has shocked this city
for many years occurred between II
and o'clock this morning. As result
Harry NJ. Walraven lies dead
at his home with a bullet through
his heart. Mr.. Walraven was

which was also heard by William Buck
hOlz, of the telephone company, and
John Mullen. The gentlemen rushed
to the scene Of the tragedy, and, after
lighting a match, found the wounded
man to be Harry Walraven, who was
then dying. Coroner James Shoemaker
was al once summoned and found the
dead man lying OH his face with his
Watch chain broken in two pieces lying
OIL the grass. The murdered man was
a trifle lame. His right leg bore marks
of two heavy blows, and was consider
ably spintered. MIR. Shoemaker found
$249in his pockets. and his watch had
not been taken. An inquest was held
today, and Mrs. Holmes, a neighbor of
Mr.. Walrayen, testified to having heard
heavy groans Immediately after the
shot was fired, but nothing of impor-
tance was brought out. Everything
goes to show that
A TERRIBLE STRUGGLE
ensued. Robbery is supposed to
have led to the crime, while some
think. it was revenge. Five witnesses
were examined at the inquest, when an
adjournment " as taken until 2 o'clock
tomorrow. Deputy Sheriff Bowen al
rested a man giving his name as
Charles White and his residence
as st. James, but no clue has yet
been found. MIR. Waldron was a young
man about twenty-eight or thirty years
old. He leaves young wife, who is
nearly insane over the terrible affair.
She was a daughter of John Peter
Hoerr, one of the oldest pioneers. MIR.
WalraVen was member of an Odd Eel

large crowd bent on curiosity has sur
rounded the home of the dead man all
day, and many expressions of sympathy
are given for the stricken wife.

MUST SHOW A CRIME.
An Important Decision by Du-
Iuth Judge.

DULUTH, Mimi, Sept. 5. - Judge
Lewis last evening made ruling that
upsets a universal practice of commit
ting magistrates in the state and which
will give freedom to greater portion of
those now held in county jails awaiting
indictment, if they care to ask it. 1t has
been the custom for years to permit a
prisoner arraigned for an indictable
Offense to waive examination if he
wished. On this waiver he will be held
to the grand jury. In habeas corpus
proceedings brought before him Judge
Lewis held this 10 be an error. To hold
prisoner for indictment the state must
show crime and probable cause to be-
lieve the prisoner guilty. This cannot
be done when the record shows only a
waiver. The point is one never raised
before in Minnesota.
