President Snip, of tlio Mlnlstorlnni, Admin tHto roil the ReprIm niul—-Va! n
Effort to Make It a Private Affair.
Philadelphia, June 11.—The Evangeli- j
cal Lutheran Ministerium began the.
fifth day's session of the 148th annual j
oonvention today by considering a rea- j
olution offered by ex-President Spaeth, j
"That we recommend to our pastors j
and congregations to celebrate the 160th
anniversary of thia ministerium by col- j
lectins a jubilee fund of at least $100,000
for work of the church, especially forj
the seminary and College/'
Thia waa flnally withdrawn by Dr.
Spaeth and after some discussion, the
ex-President moved that a special committee be appointed to look Into the
•ame matter and report at the next
synod.   Thia was agreed to.
The next business was the request of
. the Berks county oonference that the
ministerium approve of its project of
erecting a home for orphans. Dr.
Laird moved that "Thia ministerium return to the action and wiah them God
speed." Dr. Schwank announoed that
he did not think the ministerium waa
prepared to support the propoeed institution, and after being told that, the
conference only wanted the synod'a approval of their proposition. Dr.
Schwank took his seat. Dr. Zelgenfuaa
wanted to know what kind of a home lt
would be, a Lutheran or what? Dr.
Rarkey quickly arose and declared that
some questions asked are "A little simple. It Is hardly possible," he said,
"that the Lutheran conference would
have any other than a Lutheran home."
Dr. Laird's motion went through,
thoro being only one dissenting vote.
The committee appointed to audit the
president's accounts reported that
everything was correct, and the report was accepted.
The report! of the committee on discipline was then presented. The report
first recommended that Rev. J. J. Reitz,
of Cherry ville. Pa., be excluded from
the ministerium. This met with the
approval of the delegates, altho the
matter was freely discussed. The next
Item in tbe report told of the confession of Rev. M. C. Kuehner, of Stetlers-
ville. Pa., to "Imprudence and impropriety/' but added that he denied the
act of Immorality. The preamble recommends that Rev. Kuehner be publicly reprimanded and requested to resign by January 1, 1896. Rev. J. H.
Fritz, of York. Pa., stated that the
ministerium must recognize congregational rights, and he thought it wrong
for the report to state when Rev. Kuehner should resign. Then a motion was
•""Snade that the word "privately" Instead of "publicly" reprimanded be inserted in the committee's recommendation.
This waa lost, the vote being: ayes
52; naya 68. Dr, Laird was quickly on
his feet and made a motion to adjourn but lt was not seconded. Dr.
' Frye aaid lf Rev. Kuehner was in the
church he ahould at once be reprimanded. The accuaed clergyman walked to
the front of the church with clasped
hands and bowed head, and faced President Seip. Dr. Seip addresaed him
thus:
"It la my painful duty ln accordance
with the constitution of the ministerium
to publicly reprimand you i n consequence of your actions not in conformity with offlce. May Qod help you to
resist the Devil, so that you may endeavor to do your duty hereafter."
, Rev. Kuehner, after President Seip
/had concluded, raised his head and said
that It was with aorrow and regret
that he had to be called to the front
and reprimanded.
A recess was then taken.
After the disposal of the case of Mr.
Kuehner, that of Rev. B. H. Gerhart,
of the Church of the Nativity in this
city, waa taken up. Mr. Gerhart had
been accuaed of irregularity and immorality. The committee on discipline
recommended that the sentence of suspension In Mr. Gerhart's case be withdrawn, as he had resigned his pastorate. A two hours' discussion followed
and finally the case was referred back
to a new committee .for further consideration.
A resolution condemning the use of the
Individual communion cup was adopted
and Allentown was chosen as the place
of meeting of the ministerium/ next
year.
At the evening session a flnal report
was made from the committee on Mr.
Gerhart's suspension. It recommended
his restoration to the ministry, provided that he should consent to return to
the Church of the Nativity, Its deeds,
seal and other property in his possession and that he should not continue
to exert his influence over the members
of his former flock. This report being
satisfactory to all concerned, it was
adopted and tbe sentence imposed on
Mr. Gorhart was removed. The closing session of the Ministerium will be
held tomorrow.

EXCITEMENT IN THE SYNOD.
Prof. Huber Weittovud irom Hia Chair
nt Pennsylvania College.
By United Press Kpcclttl Wire.
Hagerstown. Md„ June 11.—The most,
vigorous discussion whtch haa marked ■
the proceedings of the Gen'ral Luth-1
eran Synod occurred thia morning on j
a resolution presented by the publication society through Dr. S. A, Holman. secretary. It asked the synod to'
advise the board as to the desirability j
of establishing a printing and publioa--
lion house.
After Ji long argument the matter
was referred back to the board with
power to  net.
Announcement of the new Board of
Publication stirred up a battle, the]
name of Dr. J'uugher having been substituted for that of Prof. Huber, who
occupied the chair of Hebrew at Pennsylvania College. The question was
asked from all parts of the floor why
Prof. Huber had been removed, but
the reply was in the shape of a eulogy
of Dr. Baugher. A motion that the
change be made was lost and Prof.
Huber was reinstated.
A second bombshell was exploded
when the statement was made that Dr.
J. G. Butler, president of the Board of
Foreign Missions had been removed.
Dr. Butler was accorded the privilege
of making a statement, but was interrupted several times by members of
the board Instrumental in his pro- (
posed removal.
The chair finally succeeded In quieting the confusion and Dr. Butler satd
his name had been omitted from the
board because it was charged there
was dislike for him on the part of Indian Missionaries. Dr, George Sehott,
secretary of the board, replied, saying
that the board was in favor of removing Mr. Butler four years ago but decided to await a better time for action.
A personal quarrel exists between the
secretary and president of the board.
Dr. Butler represents a powerful faction In the church but Dr. Scholt has
the majority of the members of the
synod with him.
At the afternoon session the Foreign
Mission Board disturbance was disposed
of by bowling over all the old members.
Rev. John G. Butler ex-chaplain of
the United States Senate and former
president of the board was the only one
to contest the decision and he' was
largely outvoted
Tonight the anniversary of the Publication Society was held. Addresses were
made by Rev. R. D. Bauslin, of Canton,
Ohio, and Rev. R. W. HeafCerd, of
Reading, Pa.
The Board of Church Extension organized by electing Dr. W. S. Treas, of

FILIBUSTERS ARE WATCHED.
The Government of the United States in
a Dol 1 cate Position.
Br United Press Special Wire.
Washington, June 11,—The State Department Is co-operating with tlie
Navy Department ln preventing filibustering expeditions from leaving the
United States to aid the Cuban rebels.
In addition to ordering the United
States ship "Raleigh" to guard the
Southern coast to look out for filibustering craft, Secretary Olney, of. the
State Department, has asked the Treasury Department to aid in preventing
filibustered from shipping ams, men
and ammunition from Southern ports
to the Cuban rebels.
The delicacy of the situation makes
lt difficult for the United States government to act effectually. As pointed
out in these despatches some weeks ago
the mere fact that a vessel has arms
aboard is not prima facie evidence that
these arms are intended for Cuban
rebels and would not be so regarded
even if the vessels- cleared for Cuban
ports.
The most indisputable proof must be
obtained that the arms are to be delivered to those who will use them against
a oountry friendly to the United States,
before United States customs officials
can interfere. This proof ls very difficult to obtain and already the United
States have a suit on hand for seising
arms on a vessel which It waa charged at the time were intended for the
Cuban cause.

Chicago, June 11.—Jn pursuance of
the decision of the United States Supreme Court, President Debs and tlie
other officers of the American Railway
Union surrendered to United Sta tes
Marshal Arnold.They were taken on the
5 o'clock train this afternoon to Woodstock, Ills., jail, ta serve out their sentences.
DEBS   DID   NOT   SHOW   UP.
Whea the train to take the prisoners
to Woodstock jail started, President
Debs had not shown up altho all the
officers of thq A. It. U. were on hand
and left with the United States Marshal to begin their sentences. It Is not
thought that Debs is trying to evade
his sentence, hut he has considerable
business to transact and probably missed the train.
ATTORNEY GENERAL ON SILVER.,
Judge Harmon Thinks Frou  Coinage
Talk la lolly.
I y T'n'lc.l Press Sprci'ii Wire.
Washington, June 11.—The new At-,
torney General has views up »n tho financial question and believes there is j
no improprlt ty In expressing them. I
Judge Harmon made u speech on
"Money" at the banquet given in Cincinnati, March 4. to Representatives
Bell; Amy and Storer, and the opinions
then expressed were reiterated today by
the new Attorney General. He said
"I want thc American dollar to be just
as good aa any body else's dollar, und
with that qualification I do not care
what It Is made of. But In the present
situation it seems to»me mere folly to
talk about the free coinage of -silver.
The only way we can use the silver we
now have Is by attaching an Implied
greenback to every silver dollar; or.
In other words, by the government
promising to redeem it with a gold dollar, if necessary, to keep the two equal.
Of course there ia a very narrow limit
to the government's ability to do that;
besides,' I know of no reason why it
should do It.
"lf there were free and unlimited
coinage of silver, the government could
nut keep the two metals on a parity
very long, and the result would be, by
the law of money that has been settled from the time that man has hud
money, -the gold would all disappear
and there would be only a silver basis.

A Train Wreok Burned.
By United Press Special Wire.
Bradford, Pa., June 11,—A freight
train on the Philadelphia and Erie railroad was ditched near Sargent station
last night by a broken axle on one of
the cars. Twenty cars were piled up
and the wreckage ignited. Assistance
was summoned from Renova and the

Council,  were thrown  wide  open  this
mofning  to the  delegates  of the fifth |
annual convention of the International;
League of Press Clubs.   Over one hundred delegates and alternates assembl-"
ed there at JO o'clock and w'eru met by (
Mayo r   W 1 rwl ck,   who   wei corned   the.
visiting journalists    to    the    City  6f.|
Brotherlv Love.    Clark Howell, of At-/.
lanta, Ga., president of the league, eloquently responded.    The hall    of   the
convention   was   beautifully   decorated
With flowers and plants, while on the
walls were suspended the coat of arms
of the 13 original states.    Among the ■
delegates   were   many   representatives j
from  the Women's Press Club of the j
country, among whom was Mrs. Lou lie,
M. Gordon, nf Atlanta, Ga., one of the
vice    presidents   of   the  International'
League and  who is a zealous worker j
in   the  march  ift progress   which   has.
characterised   the   great   metropolitan
city of the South.    The ladies' contingent   also   Included   a   full   delegation
from the Women's National Press As- |
soclatlon of Washington, consisting of
Mrs.   Mary  S,  Loekwood,  Mrs.  II.   B.
Sherry, Mrs. Mary A. North and Mrs.
13. 8. Chomwell.    Mrs.  Miriam Mason
Oreely - and   Mrs.   Helen   P.   Gardiner
"responded for the New Tork Women's
Press Club and Mrs. M. G. Smith represented   the  Pittsburg   Women's   Press
Club.
The visiting male delegates included Joseph Howard, Jr., who was accompanied by a large delegation of fellow journalists from New Tork.
Mayor Warwick, City Treasurer Oei-
lers and other prominent city officials
who were present at the opening, retired after President Howell's address
and the convention proceeded with its
regular business and the roll of delegates was proceeded with. The reading of communications being next In
order, a letter was read from Murat
Halstead stating that he would surely
be over "To see the boys," but that
owing to pressing business engagements
he would not be able to take any active
part in the work of the con vention. Several Invitations were reoeived to visit
places of interest which were referred
to a committee, as was also a communication from the Buffalo club urging
the convention to meet in that city next
year. Joseph Howard, of New York,
was extremely Interested In the latter
subject and seconded the motion for
Its reference to committee with an
avidity that argued a warm contest
between New York and Buffalo for the
honor of entertaining the delegates
next year.
Treasurer McCarthey's report for the
year showed a balance of $636.92. Secretary Vofght also read his annual report in* which he c< nigra tu Iated the
members on the league's continued
growth and prosperity, and statedi that
during the year five new clubs had
been admitted' making the total number now enrolled 35. Pending a discussion of a project for extending the
membership of the league to Europe,
the convention adjourned.
At the afternoon session committees
on amendments to the constitution,
nomination of officers and the next
place of meeting was appointed. It is
said that the committee on the next
place of meeting has decided on Buffalo, altho this cannot be positively
confirmed. For president of the league,
Louis N. Megargee. of Philadelphia,
seems to be the only candidate in tbe
field and will probably be elected without opposition. The convention will
hold another session tomorrow morning. One of the pleasant incidents of
today was the "Morning in Bohemia"
at the Pen and Pencil club tendered to
the ladles accompanying the league
delegates by the women's auxiliary
committee. A program of amusement
similar to that which has made the 1
"Nights in Bohemia" at the Pen and
I Pencil club famous was rendered and
the' fair spectators seemed to thorough- I
iy appreciate the unique entertainment
provided for them. From 4.30 to 6 p.
m. the delegates and the ladies of their
party and prominent citizens of Philadelphia and the local newspaper men
attended a reception tendered by the
Mercantile Club at its palatial new
club bouse at Broad and Haster streets.
During the reception the Marine Band
of .Washington played, and this evening the band gave a serenade at the
Continental hotel, where the delegates
to the convention have their headquarters. The day was wound up by a
"Night in Bohemia" for men only atl
thc Pen and Pencil club.

Gen. Gobln'-? Charge*.
The Harrisburg Telegraph says:
"General Gobin did not mince words
ln his charges against the Norrlstown
Insane Asylum. He simply told what
was a matter of reoord—that tha cattle on the premises were diseased, a
veterinary surgeon who made an examination found the cattle suffering
badly from tuberculosis and reported
to a steward, and for two years afterwards milk and meat from that herd of
cattle was fed to ■ the inmates of the
asylum .It was also found that money
appropriated for the maintenance of the
Inmates was diverted to the building
fund and improvements ahd repairs
were paid for out of it. That sort of
thing will cease now."
