This is his first stop of any length at any considerable place since he delivered the address at the unveiling of the monument to the confederate dead at Chicago. “How do you stand on the financial ques- tion?" was asked during a conversation yesterday alternoon. “I am in favor of sound money. The five propositions set forth by Secretary Carlisle are unanswerable. I hope that every news- paper in the country opposed to free siiver will continue to publish these propositions. Nothing could be more convincing. “Secretary Carlisle’s preliminary statement of & proposition he is about to discuss is a speech In itself,” exclaimed General Hamp- ton. “He is argumentative, clear-headed and most convincing. He has wonderful ability and 1s all right on the financial question.” He says he does not believe the democratic party will declare in favor of free silver. It would not surprise him, he says, it Cleve- land were nominated for a third term. Not Endora BELE TED A WOMAN FOR CHAIRMAN Ohlo Prohibitionists Undertake n Big Co tract In Government.

HAGERSTOWN, Md, June 11.—The Lutheran Publication soclety occupied the time of the delegates to the general Lutheran synod this morning, President Baugher of the synod turning over the gavel to Presi- dent Charles 8. Albert of the society. The recommendation to donate $500 to the His- torical society and $1,000 to the pastors’ fund was approved; the recommendation that the publication soclety have its own print- ing plant was referred back to the board with favorable recommendation for action. The society elected Rev. H. L. Baugher, D. D., president; Rev. W. 8. Freas, D. D., secretary; and re-elected the retiring halt of the board of publication, Revs. L. E. Albert, D. D, W. M. Baum, D.

Kimball The report of the Board of Publication society was as follc ] While the sales for the year just closed have not vielded as large a resuit as those of the several years previous, the church and the board nevertheless have cause for congratulation for what under providence we have been able to accomplish. Congrega- tions and Sunday schools, in common with the individuals composing them, have ex- perienced during the year closed the effect of the general depression, and in consequence have put off purchasing books or periodicals, except such as w strictly necessary. “Since the last biennial report we have earned for and tredited the general synod for yalties on books of worship, common service catechisme, litur and Augsburg gongs, $2,073; donated as per resolution of the board as extra discount on periodicals | published by us to Sunday sechools under the care of the Board of Home Missions, $2,365; deducted and charged off from the face value of stereotype plates under the 10 per cent rule adopted by the board in 1878, $1,620; charged off for ‘wear and tear' of store and board room fixtures, §14 charged off to profit and loss account for doubtful accounts, $443; making a total of $6,545. While our net profits are reduced by the above amount, it should be a source of gratification to the church that $2,073 of the above, for royalties, has been saved to the treasury of the general synod and $2,366 to the Sunday schools under the care of the Board of Home Missions—a total of $4,430 which, with the $9,000 passed into the treas- ury of the society, aggregates a saving of $13,430 to the church because she has her own_publication house, ““The auditing committee reported that they have examined the books and securities of the treasurer, Joseph Stulb. The amount held by him as treasurer is $40,350. The net ascets of the house are $67,992. This amount, added to the $40,353 in the hands of the treasurer, gives $108,342 as the total net assets of the soclety. The board has decided that the Sunday School Herald cannot support itself as a weekly, and accordingly will make no change in_the issue.” The synod then heard the report nate the Board posed as follows: bert, D.

Ll I JUBILEE OF NOIRE DAME Archbishop Ireland in His Sermon Touched on Church and State Schools, SOUTH BEND, Ind., June 11.—The golden jubilee in connection with the annual com- mencement of Notre Dame university began GOLDEN today. Many high dignitaries of the church and laymen from all parts of the country are present. A large company of priests in the chancel added to the impressiveness of the pontifical mass which opened the chapel, which s beautiful in fts decora- tions. The music was of rare excellence, prepared especially for the occasion. — The celebrant was Archbishop Elder of Cincin- nati, in whose province this diocese lies. The sermon.was by Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul. His first word was in the name of Father Edward Sorin, the founder, to whom and to America, whose broad liberty made such an institution possible, he gave first pratse. He sketched the history of the institution and coming to the matter of church and state schools he sald he had no quarrel with the latter. He was as proud of state institutions of learning as of so many other things that were American, but the condition under which the American schools are conducted make it necessary for the church to increase its efforts to bring the young of her schools within her fold, in sclence particularly. The archbishop ' ad- vocated more zealous efforts in Catholic education. He thought the twentieth would be the greatest century in the world's history and that America would still go higher among nations in achlevements and in morality, The archbishop's address was frequently touched with. patriotism. It was notice- able that when he began to speak of re- lations of church and public schaols all those present in the chancel and near by ralsed their heads expectantly. Archbishop Elder was one of these. The university is in holiday attire and this afternoon the chimes rang out over a campus filled with people. el GLANDERED HORSES KILLED.

He said cither one of the old parties would give $1,000,000 to have the populists out of the way. But despite Starrett’s advice there is di- vision in the ranks of the populists of this state, General Weaver and his followers favoring fusion with the free silver demo- crats and W. H. Robb of Creston favoring 1o fusion and the reaffirmation of the Omaha platform, making free silver only an inci- dental issue. Several attempts were made without suc- cess to raise $19 committee of debt. At the afternoon session ex-Congressman E. H. Gillettee was made permanent chair- man and made a short speech. He said Lin- coln was the greatest man the republican party ever sent to the white house, quoted Lincoln’s good cheer letter to the western miners, which reading caused frequent ap- plause; said that the great mining industry had been bankrupted by the same party and cited Cleveland’s recent sceret entertalnment of a Rothschild and a Morgan and the secret compact by which he mortgaged all the American pevple to the British government. 2 to clear the state central At this point a voice eried: “By the eter- nal Gods we won't stand it.” (Cheers,) Continuing, Gillette said that the only measure passed by congress at the last se sion which in any way tended to benefit the mass of working people was the income tax.

MEXILO'S NEW MINTING LAW, Considered to Be Fair In the Extreme to Mine Owners, WASHINGTON, June 11.—Mr. C. L. Tomp- kinson, an American resident of Mexico, who is interested In mining there, and who is temporarily in this city, in explaining the new regulation concerning the taxation of mines in that country, said today that it grew out of the fact that the Mexican gov- ernment had recently decided to resume control of the mints. It appears that the mints have for the past several years been leased to private individuals, who, while they have charged a mintage tax, have put It on a somewhat different basts from that pro- posed by the government,, The charge for minting gold and silver bas been almost 4% per cent, while the government has col- lected in addition a tax of .61 of 1 per cent, making in all a tax of over § per cent to be paid by Mexican mine owners having their ores coined into money in Mexico, while those who sent their products to smelters, either {n Mexico or the United States, escaped payment of the bulk of the tax. The gov- ernment upon resuming control of the mints on the 1st of July next pmposes to impose a tax of 5 per cent on thé gold and silver contained in the ore mined in the country.

The marshal was vexed the failure of Debs to report on time, and he sent three men to look for him. “Bring him in, wherever you find him," was the marshal's orders to his deputies.

MILWAUKEE, June 11.—The full purport of the decisions handed down by the United States supreme court on June 3 in two Wis- consin Central land cases did not appear from the brief dispatches announcing the reversal of judgment against the Wisconsin Central Railway company. As a result of these decisions scores of people who stood in line at the Ashland land office in 1890, when portions of the lands in controvers: were thrown open to settlement under a mistaken ruling of the Interior department, lose their title to the property on which they filed at that time, The land is located within a short dis- tance of Ashland, and has been claimed years past by the Wisconsin Central Railway Ccompany under a congressional grant of lands 1ade to the state and in aid of the rallway. The government land department has always refused to recognize the claim of the rail- road company, and in 1890 proclaimed the lands open to settlement. Various parties then sought to acquire titles by homestead entries and “squatted” on the land. The railroad company was thus compelled in self- defense to bring action of ejectment against the uatters. In 1 tried in the United States Madison and resulted in squatters. The company the supreme court of the United States order to secure a final adjudication of claims, There the claims of the comp: were represented by Leuis D. Brandtis Boston.

Depositors Wil Be Paid In Full and at Once. INDIANAPOLIS, June 11.—The Bank of Commerce this afterncon susperded business as a result of the meeting of the board of directors last night. The directors decided that there was no money in the business as the bank had been doing it and no more de- posits will be received. Willlam Bosson, the cashier, said this cvening: “We have simply suspended busi- ness for the present. We have deposited a sufficient sum of money with the Indiana National bank to pay all of our depositc and no one will lose a cent. The reason we suspended is because of litigation that is now pending and we did not want to do anything that would In any way endanger our de- positors.” Cashier Bosson said that he could not state whether the bank would resume business when the litigation was ended. The litigation referred to is a cleim for about $70,000 allowed to the Knights and Ladies of Honor by the court about a year ago. The sum deposited today by the Bank of Commerce to pay its depositors is about $10,000. PEOVED et s A PERFECT ALIBI FOR BUCK Detectives Acknowledge They Huve No Susplcion Who Kided Miss Harrington. SAN FRANCISCO, June 11.—The coroner's inquest into the death of Mss Nellie Har- rington, murdered in her own room ten days ago, was concluded today. The testimony of four additional witnesses completed a perfect alibi for the late Senator Buck. I W. Lees, chief of the local detective force, stated that he had followed every clew and every person having any apparent possible connection with the case. He was absolutely in the dark re- garding the identity of the murderer, and ad mitted that he had not even a suspicion con cerning the possible slayers. Referring to the wounds on the body of the murdered woman, he said they Indicated that the mur- der was most brutal. He was satisfied that the murdered was thoroughly familiar with the premises. He was convinced that the crime had not been committed for purposes of robbery. The fatal wounds had been fn- filcted by & pistol used as a club.

Chapple was killed by plstol James C. Ish and Mabel B, body of the dead man who was Kkilled at residence of Ish, 847 South Twenty-ninth street, night shortly after 7 o'clock, It means fn plain words that the killing of Chapple was the result of a preconceived plot; that Chapple was in- vited into the Ish cottage to meet his doom. Probably mnever in the histol of Omaha has a case attracted so much ntion, 1t is that no preliminary hearing has laregly attended. I'rom the first morning, when Bee exclusively published the causes which led up to the erime, through the two duys in which these were fully sub= stantiated by the facts that were hourly dis- covered, the horrible suspicion that the dead man had been lured to his death grew more and more plain in the minds of the citizens James C Sunday atte certain been of the city. TREMENDOUS JAM OUT. Consequently at 9 o'clock yesterday morn- ing, the time at which the inquest was an- nounced to take place, the morgue was fairly besieged by a mass of people, not one-fourth of whom could find admittance. Then Cor- oner Maul decided to postpone it until 1:30 in the afternoon and to hold it in the court room at the city fail Long before the time arrived the room was filled to suffoeation. Outside the railing every foot of space was occupled by men, women and children, crowded so closely tos gether that one could go neither in nor out. A number of benches and chairs were de- molished by the mob. In the galleries tho condition was no better. One black mass pecple looked down from every side. Insido the railings were the six jurymen, the wit- nesse reporters, Ish, surrounded by his attorneys, and the officials who had the inquest in charge, among them Coroner Maul and County Attorney Baldrige. De= spite the number of people crowded in the room the intense interest felt by them in the case produced a silence in which almost every word that was uttered by the wit= nesses on the stand could be heard through- out the roc DRVIDENCE HAD BEEN PRINTED. The testimony heard developed nothing new. Every word of it had already been pub- lished in The Bee, the greater po twelve hours in advance tion of it of any other paper. It showed beyond a doubt that Mrs. Ish and the murdered man had been intimate with each other for some time. It showed that Mrs. Ish had sent notes to him and had received him at her house. It showed that Ish had knowledge of this intimacy, and that on the same day on which Chapple was Killed Ish was hunting for him. It showed that in the evening Chapple had called at the house, probably in answer to & call, and that when he saw that Ish was at honte he wanted to go away, but Ish insisted that he should enter. It showed that Chap- ple was left alone in the bedroom with Mrs. Ish, Ish going out, and that he returned a few minutes later and found them in an embrace. And finally it showed beyond a doubt that Ish had himself shot Chapple dead. Neither Tsh nor his wife were put on the stand. In fact the latter was not present at any part of the inquest. Their attorneys were 4 1f they had any evidence to offer and answered ‘““No. they TEXT OF THE VERDICT. of Three-quarters verdict was retur follows: At an inquest Douglas_county, on the 1ith day 185, before me, M.

After convening the jury for the purpos of holding the inquest yesterday morning at 9 o'clock Coroner Maul discovered that the morgue was entirely too small to accommo- date the crowd of spectators that had assem- bled. On this account, and also because of the fact that several witnesses did not ap- pear, he decided upon a postponement until 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and’also determined 1o hold the Inquest in the police court room, Meanwhile the jury viewed the remains of Chapple axd also pald a visit to the residence where t hooting occurred, 847 South Twene ty-ninth street The jury that was empannelled consisted of the following: James Stephenson, W, H. ner, Henry Voss, David H.

In reply to one question the witness stated that in his opinion the vietim was in a sitting posture when he was struck by the ball which entered his head. The course of the bullet was slightly downward which would indicate that it was fired from a point higher than Chapple’s head. He lad visited the Ish cottage and had found blood on the walls and floor, also bullet holes through the windows and casements also cne in a chalr which was in the' room where the shooting oceure The halr was produced in court and identified, the object being to show that Chapple was sitting in the chair when the first shot was fired.
