4 Eunor, Unsubssantiated, That Gov.
 Peabody Was Dissatisfied With the
 Management ofCrippIe CreehAaairs

Denver, Colo, Oct. 4.-The summon ing to Denver cf Brigadier General John Chase by Governor Peabody con- tirues to be the feature of interest in the Cripple Creek strike. Governor Peabody declines to give his 1e3son fer ordering the general frcm duty and placing another in cc5nmand in his stead.
 When pressed for q statement to- night. he said:
 General Chase is in Denver on de- tached duty. His stay is indefnite.' ''
 The governor called Gen. Chase in conference on two occasions today. but just what the nature of the discussions were has not been made public. It is consistently rumoied that Governor Peabody has become dissatisfied with certain policies pursued by Gen. Chase in handling the situation in Cripple Creek, but Eo one in authority will verify this rumor nor can it be learned in what particular the governors ideas of the proper method of treating the Cripple Creek strike disagree with those of Genefal Chase, if at all.

are HOW extending their hospitality to their English brethren.
 The beginning of the artillery school may be seen in the patent forming the Honorable Artillery Company of Lon don, which in 1537 Henry VIII granted 10 three persons, appointing them over- seeTs of the "science of artillery for long bows, cross-bows and hand guns. The city of London has always taken great pride in this organization, which cuiicusiy enough is the only body of British troops not regulars allowed to parade in London streets with bayon- cts fixed. Until 1S49 the members elected their own officers. Since then they have been crown appointments made on the nomination of the lieu tenancy of the city of London.
 The Ancient and Honora ble Artillery Company of Boston. the oldest regular ly organized military company in America, dating from 1637. is forrr'at; on the model of the Honorable Artil- iery Company of London. In the early days of the colony it was purely milf tary organization composed. of the leading citizens of Boston and the ad- jacent towns and was always ready fer service. The military organizat tion is still preserved, but the functions of the corps are more or less social thougf. regular drills are still held at its ar nlCry in Eaneuil hall.

in the conferences today the question Of his removal from command of the troops in Cripple Creek was brought Up but the matter has not been defi- nitely disposed of
 Tie immediate cause of the trouble is said to be due to a recent order Of Gen. Chase for a court martial to try Colonel Gross, paymaster Of the Colo .ado national guard. The report is that Grcss objected to an examination being made Of the pay roll by a repre- sentative of Gen. Chase and that dur ing q dispute which followed Gross drew q revolver and threatened to use it.
 Gen. Chase, cn learning of the af- fair, ordered the arrest of Col. Gross and his trial by court martial.
 The latter according to the story came ta Denver and informed the governor of the trouble. and Governor Peabody at once summoned Chase to Denver It is said tdat Chase is strenuously op- posing what he considers unfair dis CT elimination in pay in favor oi certain officers Of the guard.
