HAGERSTOWN , Md. , Juno 11. The
Lutheran Publication society occupied the
tlmo of the delegates to the general Lutheran
synod this morning , President Baugher of
the synod turning over the gavel to Presi
dent Charles S. 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 society have Its own printIng -
Ing plant was referred back to the board
with favorable recommendation for action.
The society elected Rev. II , L. Baugher ,
D. D. , president ; Rev. W. S. Freas , D. D. ,

the board of publication , Revs. L. E Albert ,

The report of the Board of Publication
society was as follows :
"While the- sales for the year Just closed
have not yielded as large a result 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 oft purchasing books or periodicals ,
except such as were strictly necessary.
"Since the last biennial report we have
earned for and tredlted the general synod
for royalties on books of worship , commor
service catechisms , liturgies , and Augsburg
songs , $2,073 ; donated as per resolution ol
the board as extia discount on periodicals

of store and board room fixtures , $143
charged oft to profit and loss account fo :
doubtful accounts , $443 ; making a total o
$6,545 While our net profits are rcducci
by the above amount. It should be a sourci
ot gratification to the church that $2,073 o
the above , for royalties , has been saved ti
the treasury of the general synod and $2,36i
to the Sunday schools under the care ot tin
Board of Homo Missions a total of $4,430
which , with the $9,000 passed Into the treas
ury of the society , aggregates a saving o
$13,439 to the church because she has he

WASHINGTON , D. C. , Juhe 11. Acting
Secretary McAdoo of the Navy department
said this afternoon thai the Instructions sent
to the commander of the cruiser Raleigh
for his guidance when off the Florida coast
were of the most comprehensive kind and
provided for a full and strict enforcement
of the neutrality laws. The Raleigh probably
will go to Key West first. This Is the only
port on the Florida coast which a vessel
of her draught can safely enter. She will
then make a thorough patrol of the coast
line , and to render It more difficult for a
filibustering party to get away , the cruisers ,
steam launches and small boats will be
manned whenever It Is necessary to look Into
narrow Inlets and passes .for light draught
schooners and yachts , which ore the favorite
means ot transportation of the flllbustcr-
ers.
ers.With Spanish men-of-war lying off the
Florida coast outside of the three-mile limit
and the Raleigh and her boats sweeping the
inside waters , the over-enthusiastic Cubans
and their American Ejmpathlzers who under
take to drive the United States Into trouble
by using Florida as a base of hostility
against the government of Cuba , arc likely
to be repressed with a strong hand. The
position of the administration Is that they
must make all honorable efforts to prevent
the abuse of Its territory In this way , and
If the measures already adopted nre not
sufficient to secure the enforcement of the
neutrality laws , to ns largo a degree as we
have ourselves Insisted upon when our In
terests were Involved , then active steps may
be taken ashore to move upon the people
who have laid themselves open to prosecution
by organizing hostile expeditions and aiding
In Illegal warfare on a friendly nation.
The- following letter was sent today to all
collectors of customs on the coast from New
York to the Rio Grande1
TREASURY DEPARTMENT , OFFICE OF
THE SECRETARY. WASHINGTON , June
11 , 1895. To Collectors of Customs and
Others : It Is a matter of rumor that at
various points In the United States attempts
are making to enlist men to equip and arm
vessels and by other Illegal measures to aid
the Insurrection now In progress In the Is
land of Cuba. While this department has
not been furnished with tangible evidence
confirmatory of such rumors , It deems It of
great Importance that no possibility be
given for complaints that the goveinment
of the United States has In any respect fallen
short of Its full duty to a friendly nation.
Collectors of customs for the several districts
between New York and Brownsville are es
pecially enjoined to see to It that the neu
trality law of the United States , particularly
sections 5,289 and 5,290 of the revised
statutes , are fully compiled with.

Uollbcrntely Iouo >
William II. Chappie was killed by pistol
shots nred by James C. Ish and Stabcl E.
Ish , his wife ,
The killing was unjustifiable.
Such was the decision of the coroner's Jury
yesterday afternoon In the Inquest held o\cr
the body of the dead man who was Killed at
the residence of James C. Ish , S47 South
Twenty-ninth street , Sunday night shortly
after 7 o'clock. It means In plain words
that the killing of Chappie was the result
of n preconceived plot ; that Chappie was In
vited Into the Ish cottage to meet Ills doom.
Probably nc\cr In the hlitory of Omaha
has n case attracted so much attention. It
Is certain that no preliminary hearing has
been so larcgly attended. From the first
morning , when The Dec exclusively published
the causes which led up to the crime , through
the two d.iyi In which those were fully sub
stantiated by the facts that were hourly dis
covered , the horrible suspicion that the ilcail
man had been lured to his death grew more
and more plain In the minds of the citizens
of the city.
TREMENDOUS JAM OUT.
Consequently at 0 o'clock jcsterday mornIng -
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 I'M
In the afternoon and to hold It In the court
room at the cltj Jail.
Long before the time arrived the room was
filled to suffocation. Outsldo the railing
every foot of sp.ice was occupied by men ,
women and children , crowded BO closely to
gether that one could go neither In nor out.
A number of benches nnd chairs were de
molished by the mob. In the galleries the
condition was no better. One black mass of
people looked down from e\ery side. Inside
the railings were the six Jurymen , the wit
nesses , the reporters , Ish , surrounded by
his attorneys , and the officials who had the
Inquest In charge , among them Coroner
Maul nnd County Attorney Haldrlgo. De
spite the number of people crowded In the
oem the Intense Interest felt by them In
ic case produced a silence In which almost
cry word that was uttered by the wit-
esses on the stand could be heard through-
lit the room
EVIDENCE HAD nnnN PRINTED.
The testimony heard dcvelopol nothing
ew Cvery word of It had already been pub-
shed In The llee , the greater portion of It
weho hours In advance of any other paper ,
t showed beyond a doubt that Mrs. Ish
ml the murdered man had been Intlmato
Ith each other for some time. It showed
int Mrs. Ish had sent notes to him ami
ad received him at her house. It showed
ml Ish had knowledge of this intimacy , ami
lint on the Bamo day on which Chapplo
.is killed Ish was hunting for him. Jt
hewed that In the evening Chappie had
ailed at the house , probably In answer to a
all , and that wfien ho saw that Ish was at
omo he wanted to go away , but Ish Insisted
hat ho should enter. It showed that Chap-
le was left alone In the bedroom with Mrs.
sh , Ish going out , and that he returned a
ew minutes later and found them In an
mbrace. And finally It showed beyond a
oubt that Ish had himself shot Chapplo
ead.

Neither Ish nor his wlfo were put on the
land. In fact the latter was not present at
ny part of the Inquest. Their attorneys
vere asked If they had any evidence to otter
.nd they answered "No. "

After convening the Jury for the purpose
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 alao because of
the fact that several witnesses did not ap
pear , ho decided upon a postponement until 1
o'clock In the afternoon , and'also determined ,
to hold the Inquest In the police court room.
Meanwhile the Jury viewed the remains of
Chapplo u..d also paid a visit to the residence
where the shooting occurred , 847 South Twen
ty-ninth street.
The Jury that was empannelted consisted of
the following James Stephenson . II Sld-
ner , Henry Voss. David H Christie , U. C.
Patterson and William F. Manning.
Look before the time at which the Inquest
was to be held every a\allabo ! foot of space
In the police court room was occupied.
Shortly after 1 30 the first witness , Dr L ° o ,
was called to the ptand by Coroner Maul ,
The examination was conducted by County
Attorney Baldrldge
RESULT OF THE AUTOPSY.
Dr. E W. Leo was the firtt witness H
testified to the post mortem examination ,
which disclosed the cause of Chappie's death.
Ho had found two bullet wounds , either ot
which was sufllclent to caueo death. Tha
toll that had entered the back of the head
must have caused Instant death , and the on a
which passed through the upper part of tha
body would have been fatal. Two other
bullets had penetrated the neck , but the
wounds lu the neck were not necessarily
fatal. In reply to one quchtlon the witness
stated that In his opinion the victim was
In a bitting posture when ho was struck by
the ball which entered his head. Tha
course of the bullet waR slightly downward
which would Indicate that It was llred from
a point higher than Chappie's head. He
had \lslted the Ish cottage and had found
blood on the walls and floor , also bullet
holes through the windows and casements
and also ono In a chair which was lu tho'
room where the shooting occured. The
chair was produced In court and Identified ,
the object being to show that Chapplo wan
sitting In the chair when the first shot waa
fired. The bullet marks indicated that a
shot fired from above had struck ono of the
rounds of the chair and splintered U.
Superintendent Adams of the city parks
was called and testified that ho wag passing
the Ish residence at the time the shooting
occurred Ho heard three pistol shots , which
were Immediately followed by three or four
more. Then Ish and his wife ran out , and
the latter declared that she had killed Chap
plo to save her honor. Hn examined the
rc\elvers and found two bullets remaining
In one and ono In the other. He described
the pohltlon and appearance of ttio body , and
stated that nothing lu the room was dinar-
ranged or Indicated that a struggle had
taken p'a < v > There was a thread In that
Rowing inn-lilno and a email piece of cloth ,
as IhniiKh homo one had been loullng the
ina ilrc. Ho had remarked that Chapplo
.vas be > uud a.l huuiuu aid , at which leh do-
