Denver. Oct. 5.-The Republican this
morning says:
After two conferences held yesterday
between Governor Peabody and Briga-
der General John Chase.it seems to
have been pretty definitely settled that
General Chase will not return tc the
Cripple Creek district as general in
command of the troops. Neither Gen
eral Chase nor Governor Peabody
would give any intimation yesterday
after the conference as to just what
had been the outcome Of the meeting.
But there is scarcely doubt that Cen
eral Chase has been relieved of his
command in the district His probable
successor will be Colonel Verdeckberg.
The policy over which General
Chase and Governor Peabody do
not agree and which may cause the
formers permanent recall is said to be
relative to the conduct of the supplies
and other things which come into the
camp.
The immediate cause of all this dis
turbance came up over the pay rolls
which are now being prepared by Col
onel Gross. According to military
rules and regulations the pay rolls
must pass through the hands of the
brigade commander. who is General
Chase Colonel Gross. the paymaster
general of the army, did not see fit to
allow the general to see the pay rolls.
The break occurred in Camp Goldfeld.
General Chase sent word to Colonel
Gross that he wanted to see the pay
rolls. Word was sent back by the
coIopoI that ha was huSy with them
and could rot send them over.

ed that Donovan in his dealings with
young Stratton was "a pirate under
flag of truce, as well as bandit on
the highway of justice"
Young Stratton commented bitterly
upon the various suits that have been
