SCHLATTER SKIPs DENVER
The Divine Healer Disappoints Three
thousand Patients.
HIS MISSION IS FINISHED
The Strange Individual Leaves LondlOrd
Fox tho Task Of Explaining Ills
Sudden Dcparturc-AnxiOus People
Refuse to Believe tho Story.

Denver, Nov 14.-A climax in the re-
markable furore over Francis Schlat-
ter, the alleged divine healer, came to-
day, when his room was found vacant.
He left a note to Mr.. Fox, with whom
he lodged, saying:
"Mr. Fox: My mission is finished.
The Father takes me away.
SigneD F. Schlatter."
According to all of Schlatter's past
statements he was subject to the or
ders of "The Father" and doubtless
forth. Mr. Fox came before the crowd
of 5000 people that had been assembled
since 3 a. M. and told them the start
ling news. The crowd was astounded,
and were disposed at first to disbelieve
the story.
Today Schlatter was to appear be-
fore the United States commissioner
as witness against the blessed" hand
kerchief fakir. and the fear Of becom-
ing entangled in the court proceedings
is probably the real reason for the dis
appearance of the man. 1t was OBJ
served yesterday that he was growing
restless under the increasing excite
ment and the swelling crowds. The
craze had grown beyond his power to
control, and he feared the denOuement.
The United States court has issued a
subpoena for his immediate appear
ance as a defaulting witness, and
search is being made. Should he be
found and jailed trouble would follow,
so strong Is public belief in the mans
honesty and sincerity, and even his
power.
A report tonight locates Schlatter at
Rooney's ranch between Golden and
Morrison Rooney was one of the be-
levers in Schlatter and had invited the
healer to come there to rest before
starting for Chicago.

UNDER STRICT RULES.
Monks Who Rarely Speak. Use No Fire
for Heat and No Bed Covering.


for Heat and No Bed Covering.
European disturbances are forcing
many religious communities to seek
homes on this continent, and the Trap
pists of Italy are the latest to ar
rive. They are about to found house
in the Brooklyn diocese under the di-
rection of Rev. Edmund Obrecht, and
with the approval of Bishop McDon-
nell. For the last year the former has
been the guest of the Drumgoole mis-
sion, in Lafayette place, while arrang-
ing the details of the new establish
ment. The generosity Of a New York
er, now living on Long Island. Bern
ard Earl, has enabled the Trappist
father to begin the work at his con-
venience. Mr.. Earl gave house and
twenty-seven acres of land at place
near Hicksville, known as Round
Swamp, which Is of character to
provide the monks with an opportunity
to show their skill in Ax1roving land.
1t was an ordinary farm, and the house
an ordinary farm building.
The monks will use the house as a
monastery, after making such altera-
tions as are needful. Besides follow
ing their own rule, they will keep
home for aged and infirm priests and
place of retreat for those who de-
sire to spend a longer or shorter time
apart from the world. This house will
be supplied with members from the
Trappist monastery in Rome known as
the Tre Fontana, where the monks
turned, swamp into a habitable To-
cality by planting groves of the
eucalyptus tree, from which they make
a medicine efficacous in malarial fevers.
The Trappists have been slow to sett)e e
in other countries of late years oEt-
side of Europe.
They have a monastery in Dubuque
founded by Irishr>>>n from the Irish
Mt. Melleray, and second in Ken
lucky. founded by German monks. The
severity of their rule has usually con-
fined them to a moderate climate, but
a few years ago the French Trappists
started monastery in the province of
quebec, and secured dispensations
from some features of their rule. In
spite of the climate they have man
aged to get along, and will probably re-
main in Canada. The principal fea-
lures of their rule are perpetual silence
unless In necessity, and then only Is
speech permitted in the presence of the
| abbot; four hours of field work and four
OF prayer each day; six hours of sleep;
study or indoor labor four hours: one
meal a day at which meat is not al
lowed, and no fires in the monastery ex-
cept for cooking.
The monks sleep on a matress with
out covering, never taking off their
habits evcept to take baths. In Can
ada. however, they are allowed to use
fires and to eat slight breakfast on
account OF the severe winters. The
sick may use meat. With all this
strictness they do not want for mem
bers, and their average term of years
Is higher than that of other commun-
| tiles.

RUSSIA'S CURRENCY.
Significance of Her. New Coinage Mcns.
ures-probably a Step Toward the Re-
dcmption Of Paper Currency.

Washington. Nov. H.--The cablegram
of yesterday announcing the intention
of the Russian government to coin next
year 10000, 900 roubles in gold and 25,-
100000 in silver, in addition to the SUBJ
sidlary coinage, has created consider
able interest among financiers because
of the evident purpose exhibited on the
part of Russia of increasing her specie
currency. While Russia holds in coin
and bullion between four hundred and
five hundred millions of gold, she has
recently coined very little of this.
1t Is thought in some quarters that
the general purpose Of this increase is
to begin preparation for the redemp-
tion of Russian paper. which is the
principal currency in circulation in the
empire. Last August the Imperial
bank held sS29. 100000 in paper. 1t is
also considered probable that in in
creasing her silver coinage as she is
doing, Russia is preparing to extend
her trade into the silver-using coun-
tries of the Orient, especially China,
Japan and Corea.
To put this purpose into execution 1t
will be necessary to go outside Of her
own country to secure silver.

Discipline on the Base Ball Grounds Will
DC Maintained by Other Means.
New York, Nov. 1.-THE annual fal!
meeting of the National Base Ball
league, which was adjourned from last
night, was concluded tonight after n
session which, with intedmissiona.
lasted from 1890 till Z p. m.
President John II. Brush, of Cincin-
natl. and President Andrew ]. Freed
man, of New York. fired some lot
shot at one another during the day.
Brush claims that Freedman gave him
the option on Doyle in exchange for
"Arlie" Latham. and that the New
Yorker had broken his word when ne
made the Doyle-Gleason transfer.
This Freedman strongly and most en-
phatically denied. The New York
magnate was pretty well turned down
by the league. His name does not ap-
pear on one of the boards or commit
tees. and his attempt to overcome
President Byrne was a failure. The
Brooklyn magnate was elected by a
vote of II to l, Freedman polling the
dissenting vote.
The most important move taken by
the league was the abolition of the
fine system. For the future offending
players will be expelled from the game
after one warning in trivial cases and
Umpires Hurst, Emsle and Keefe
gave evidence before the meeting rs to
their treatment by obstructing players
on last and previous seasons.
by the unanimous vote of the league
the secretary was directed to ACCEPT
the Harry Wright relics, and to have
q list OF the same drawn up and pre-
sentcd at the next spring meeting.
"A committee consisting of Messrs.
Brush, of Cincinnati: Hart, of Chi
cago, and Rogers, of PHILADELPHIA, was
appointed to arrange for a day In the
spring to be called Harry Wright
day. "and to be uniformly set apart in
all the cities of the league on which a
game Is to be played and the proceeds
thereof to be devoted to the erection of
ronumant to the veteran umpire.
On resuming session the delegates
proceeded to the election of officers.
President and Secretary Young was
elected last year for term of three
years The national board was in
creased by the election of another men,
ber, John 7. Brush. while Messrs.

tion the advocates Of play on the Sab

Pittsburg's day.
One hundred years ago the invention Of
the cotton gin revolutionized the cotton
industry of the south, and from being the
producer of but a few bales the cotton
states became the cotton producers of the
world The cry for years was Cotton is
king" We of Pennsylvania cry Iron is
king" King cotton is dethroned and a
queen has taken a throne, Queen Cot
ton" Let us cry: Long live King Iron
and Queen Cotton"
What is for the welfare of the king is
for the welfare of the queen: and what Is
for the queen is also for the king. What
Is for the south is for the north. and for
the north, the south. And what Is best for
both is best for the nation. Let us build
our railroads north and south, as well as
east and west. Let our cry be "Protec-
ton, patriotism and progress"
The Mexican band gave selections be-
tween the speeches.
After the speaking the Pennsylvania
ans were given luncheon at the Pied
mont club.
Governor Atkinson gave a reception
tonight at the executive mansion to
Governor Hastings, of Pennsylvania; /;
Governor Greenhalge. of Massachusetts,
and Governor Lippitt, of Rhode Island.

in COlOmbin-An Arbitrator Iusulted.
Washington, Nov. 14.-Friction has
arisen between British capitalists and
the republic of Colombia. growing out
of a concession granted by the Colom
bian government to an English COM
pany to build a railway through the
state of Antique, tapping the richest
sections of Colombia. The company
not proceeding with the work, the con-
cession was declared forfeited. The
company then presented claim for
S640, 900 damages. Colombia refused to
pay, but consented to arbitrate the
claim. Out of this has grown the pres
ent friction.
DIR. Luhrsen, the German Minister to
Colombia, acted as one of the arbitra-
tors. but, as the Colombian press and
public believed him to be favorable to
the English claim, riotous scenes at
tended the meeting OF the arbitrators.
Colombian soldiers were stationed at
the German Minister'S house, and 1t is
claimed that they assisted the excited
populace in perpetrating indignities on
the Minister'S household, the acts being
confined, however, to noise, threats and
alleged drunken disorder. AS a result
of concerted action in London and Ber-
lin, the British Minister at Bogota. DR..
Jenner, and the German Minister re-
ceived joint instructions to protest to
President Caro- of Colombia. This was
done. and the Colombian government
decided that a public explanation should
be made in the Diario Official. But this
explanation. signed by the Minister of
Foreign Affairs, is said to have been as
offensive as the preceding events.
No settlement was reached on the ar
bitration, and now urgent efforts are
being brought to bear on the British
foreign office to administer a rebuke
to Colombia which will serve as a re-
minder that British investments in that
country must receive full protection.
These efforts come from the interested
capitalists. and 1t Is not known that
Lord Salisbury has yet considered the
advisability of putting in motion the
machinery of the foreign Office to pro-
toct them

When opposite the detectives they

on the street was intense. The men
drove west on Polk street as a break

pursuit. This was done and the wagon
got out of the barn so quickly that 1t
was only little way behind the buggy
when Ogden avenue was reached. At
this street the man who was supposed

buggy and lay dead on the car tracks,
while the other man dashed on. The
patrol wagon stopped to pick up the
