DIR. RIEMAN DEAD.
End of the Trouble in 01e of the Oakland
BAPTIST Churches


MONRovIA, May 23.-George B. Rieman.
Church of Oakland, died at his former home
here at noon to-day of erysipeas. The in
terment will take place at Oakland.
Rev. George b. Rieman formerly lived in
Alameda, doing business in San Francisco
as photographer. Six years ago he gave
up business and studied for the ministry.
He took charge OF a church in Oakland on
Harrison street, near Sixth, but disliked the
location and wanted TO move il. The con-
gregation objected to this, and Rieman and
a numbeI Of his friends iii the congregation
moved to "the little church around the cor
ner" on Twentieth street. 4 short time ago
Rieman wanted TO remove the Twentieth
street church to @ lot on San Pablo
avenue, and the congregation became
divided on the question, which caused good
deal OF 0iscord. Rleman al last became in
y0lved in quarrel with his Sunday-schOol
superintendent, and this quarrel grew so
bitter that the lie was passed between the
men at an open church meeting, and Rieman
rendered his resignation to the board Of
trustees of the church Of which the Sunday
school Superintendent was chairman. The
resignation was not accepted at that time.
Mean while, tending the settlement of the
trouble, the pastors friends called church
meeting and proceeded to read the Sunday
school superintendent and his family ont of
the church. Several other members left the
church, and the pastor insisted upon resign
ing. Meetings from which outsiders were
excluded were held. and the announcement
was made by Rieman that he would never
again take charge. His usefulness was
ended where there was GiscoTd. he said, and
he would leave Oakland. He was a Ger
man, aged about 90 years. and was f0rcible,
earnest speaker and well liked I'LL the mis-
understanding came.

LONDON, May 23.-The London Branch
Of the Imperial Federation League held lis
meeting to-day at which several protection
speeches were made. Sir Charles Upper,
tie Canadian High Commissioner. said that
If England adopted a small protective tax
that was not a discriminating tariff no c0un-
try would complain. CObden'S theory, that
all countries would speedily follow Eng
lands example in adopting free trade, had
proved fallaci0us. In concluding he said
that Canada could produce all Of the food
that the United States now exports to Great
Britain. Another speaker, Mr.. Beckett,
said that Lord Salisbury has struck the
right note in declaring that free trade had
gone too far. lie advocated a plan to
aDpease Canada the taking away all the
rival imports from the United States.
The Canadian AID Newfoundland govern-
ments have reached an agreement on the
nou-tarif question and a conference will
shortly be held in London.
