THE reports from the far northwest are to the effect that the Canadian government is pushing the survey of boundary lines between British possessions and Alaska and is émphasizing the correctness of the survey by establishing forts-and depots for military supplies and is policing the territory.

SCHLATTER DISAPPEARS. The Famous Healer’'s Work in Denver—- . Goes Away Mysteriously. g "~ Denver, Cel., Nov. 15.—Quite & scnsation was created here by the announcement that Francis Schlatter had mystericusly disappeared. Thursdaymorning a member of the Fox famijly, with which family he had been staying, went about eight o’clock to call him for breakfast, but his room was found vacant. : S Later in the morning a note from Schlatter was found reading: “Mr. Fox, my mission is finished. The Father takes me away. (Signed) F. Schlatter.” . ' Denver, Col., Nov. 16.—The retreat of .Frdncis Schlatter, the healer, has been well covered. It would seem that where he is so well known he could not muve far without being discovered, but ‘this man is not like ordinary men. He has suffered privations in the ‘Arizona deserts so severe that a few days of fasting in the Colorado hills during comparatively mild weather is no hardship. DBesides heis so respected by the general public that were he to request seclusion and privacy he would be granted it without a question. 'l;,lence he may be at Rogney's ranch near.the Garden of the Ahgels at Morrison, or he may be quietly resting near the city. All day long people wandered over to the Fox cottage to gaze upon the scene ‘where for 58 days&;&‘rancis Schlatter stood administering the healing touch. The trains Friday brought in several Lhiundred persons who had not learned before starting upon their long journey

that he had mysteriously disappeared during the night of November 13. One ‘woman, who seemed of more than ordi--nary intelligence, asked to be shown the exact spot where Schlatter had stood. She then climbed over the fence, stood ‘in the place and declared she had faith sufficient to believe that act would be the means of effecting a cure of her bodily ills. 13 : The disappearance of Schlatter was the main topic of conversation all cver the city. The federal officers say that thecase against the handkerchief fakirs will be dropped and that Schlatter may return for all they care. Few think that he will return and his-disciples are divided as to the meaning his last message conveys: “My mission is ended,” reads the message, and some think that that' ends his earthly career.. Others say that he is.not far off, and will reveal himself in a few days. Othershold to the more rational conclusion that he has trarhped away to avoid the crowds which would uhdoubtedly have followed him had he gone publicly, and such believe they will hear of him later. It is an undoubted fact that through all these weeks of excitement many persons have been benefitted, whether their ills were imaginative or not and that a spiritual growth has been manifested in those who sought him out, though many continue to believe that he is a harmless lunatic. ] Omaha, Neb., Nov. 16.—Gen. F. E. Test, a veteran newspaper man of this ‘city, wrote from Denver Wednesday as foilows: S : “I have seen strange things to-day. Francis Schlatter is certainly a wonderful man. The crowd of people visiting him is remarkable. Yesterday he treated 2,700 people, to-day about 3,000. The quality of the crowd is what surprises one more than all. It is composed of every class, but what is temarkable is the intelligent people. Practical men are enthusiastic and say there is no doubt of the healer’s power, sincerity and goodness. ; : . ~ ““While standing in line abouti9:4s my friend said: ‘There is a man who has just been treated. He couldn’t walk without crutches. Now he is walking without them. He is cured.” Sure encugh, there he was, with a crowd around him. As soon as we ‘ were through we went over to see him. His ‘hand had been disabled by disease and his leg was useless from the same cause. I saw -him walk across the street carrying the crutches under his arm. What do you think of that? He is a respectable citizen of Ellsworth, Kan. I saw him again this afternoon. He was standing without crutches, talking to the people. *“All with whom 1 have talked say they have had relief. Dr. Keithley, of Weeping Water, has dispensed with his speakingtrumpet. He does neot need it any more. [ hardly know how to express an iop_inion of this strange man. Ilmerely state the facts. When he treats you nothing is said. iMHe simply grasps your right hand, pauses a moment, releases you, and that is alk ‘“*As to my own experience with him, itis this: 1 have written this letter without glasses. The sensation onleaving him was a slight tremor or quiver. ‘L'hen the rignt hand got warm and the left cold. Pricking sensations soon appeared in the right hand and the old aches and pains went away. As to what other benetits will apFee:' time must determine, but 1 certainly seard better when he got through with me, 1 have been using glasses for several years. 1t is certainly a peculiar experience.”

" SOVEREIGN IS HEARD. L . Annual Address of the Head Officer of the Knights of Labor. 80 Washington, Nov. 14.—The question of admitting certain delegates to the Knights of Labor assembly whose rights to seats were contested on the ground that under the constitution the proper apportionment had not been observed was disposed of Wednesday afternoon by theé admission of Delegate De Leon, of New York assembly district No. 49, and O’'Brien, of district assembly No. 30 of Massachusetts. Both ot these men are said to be anti-admin-istra»tfion delegates, and will aid in the fightto oust the administration now in power in the general assembly. Their admission was a compromise. It appears, however, that the administration people have a very comfortable majority: of the votes in the assembly. Thé! report of Grand Master Sovereign was endorsed as read. A synopsis is as follows:: After a lenzthy denunciation of the acts of ex-officers of the organization, who, he says, in effect, found nothing too low to sj:oop to in order to further their own selfish ends and disrupt the order, Mr. Sovereign says: i “To-day, for the first time in many years, cur order stands before the world a united whole with an unbroken front, battling for the brotherhood of man and the freedom oi labor from the thraldom of greed and the so-called independent movement,’ which had its origin in selfishness and dishonor, has sunk behind the horizon in the industrial field to be mourned by monopolles of the country who fondly hoped it would crush forever the order of the Knights of Labor. : . . “Labor is now between the devil and a deep sea, with the devil running down the beach and thé tide flowing in. Capital has monopolized the elements of production, and labor is in competition with itself for the right te live, and there can never be exact justice to labor and a final solution to the industrial question while the competitive and wage systems continue to pamper the passions of greed and grind the faces of the poor. A money oligarchy is fast wip~ ing out the last vestige of individual liberty. Construction by judicial authority is already given to law, placing all labor crganizations in the category of criminal conspiracies. Misdemeanors of the most trivial character have been raised to felony without sanction of law and used to imprison representatives of labor organizations, and injunctions followed by charges of contemptélave been used to condemn labor leaders to the felon’'s cell without evidence of guilt or trial by jury. The associated banks have declared war on the money of the people, and the whole pluto“cratic fraternity has invaded the realm of free government and constitutional security. Year by year the laws= become more exacting in their application to the poor and more liberal in their application to the corporations and the idle holders of idle capital. Year by year labor grows weaker and more dependent, and the possibilities of resuscitating more doubtful. The industrial masses are fast being reduced to circumstanceés that overshadow independence and manhood with the struggle for bread and shelter. »

Mr. Sovereign expresses the belief that the constitution should be liberalized and that the greatest possible measure of home rule and local self-government compatible. with the security of the order should be granted to local, state and district assemblies. Throw additional safeguards around the test of membership, he says, by strengthening the obligation, and most of the differences and contentions between members -and assemblies will pass away. *] earnestly recommend that this general assembly inaugurate a movement looking to the organization of a national trade assembly composed entirely of farmers and farm laborers. A movement of this kind will enable us to successfully refute the arguments of the emissaries of the capitalistic classes in their efforts to convince the farmers that they have no interests in common with the wageworkers of the. towns and cities, and. will give to both farmers and wageworkers additional power and prestige.” ) Mr. Sovereign strongly denounces the organized bankers of the country. He says: ‘“They have boycotted every kind of rthe people’s meoney they were®not forced by law to receive and boycotted every class of citizens their selfish. purpose suggested, and at their session recently held at Atlanta, Ga., they turned their batteries against the greenbacks and freasury notes and demanded the destruction of all forms of government money not under their absolute supervision and control, and insisted on their right to issue and supply the people with the currency of the country--a provosition which, if put into effect, will force the industrial masses into absoluteslavery to the money lending classes and will enable the associated banks to contract the currency at will, reduce prices, stagnate business, turn labor into the streets, foreclose mortgages and confiscate collaterals, until the liberties of the people are gone forever and labor so reduced in circumstances that organization, agitation and readjustment will be rendered impossible. This is no idle dream and no stretch of imagination. “After carefully reviewing the wreck and ruin wrought by the money power and the designs of 'the sound money clubs which propose bonds and Gatling guns for a solution of the labor question, I issued a boycott on the notes of national banks, and if I were to die to-morrow I would declare it the most righteous act of my life. It exposed- the unsound money of the sound money advocates, threw plutocracy on the defensive and forced the national banks into a humiliating confession of their preposterous acts of bad faith with the people. And now I urge this general assembly to indorse that boycott and give it every possible force of ofiicial sanction. The conflict between the working people and the icle holders of idle ecapital is inevitabie. The wealth of the many is gravitating to the few with increasing ratio, and labor is drifting®owards serfdom faster than ever before.”” : ‘ Missionary Work. ‘Denver, Col., Nov. 15.—The general wmissionary committee of the M.
