this morning, shortly after 10
o'clock, at the announcement of
the sudden death of Mr.. Samuel
S. Spier. which occurred on the

of Maj. D. S. Davis, and just
round the cornor from Mr..
Spier's own home, which he had
but . few moments before left in
his usual cheerful spirits, on his
way to his office.
Mr.. Spier had been in precari-
Gus health for several years, and
his devoted family lavished upon
him all the solicltude of loving
hearts and every care for his
comfort, for they knew he walked
in the shadow Of the death
angels wing, but his cheerful
nature and indomitab.e vitality
buoyed him to give comfort to
those he loved day by day, and
now as they look upon him in his
last repose they have the infinite
consolation of kno wing that he
and they we're all in all to one
another and made home beautiful
in mutual loves sweet ministra-
tions in common.
M. Spier was a man of elegant
Culture, generous impulses, un-
failing charity. and heroic in his
sturdy adherence 10 ais convic-
tions of right. He took a lively
interest in all public questions,
and IN social functions he was q
prince of hospitality and "a man
of infuite jest" and good cheer.

Both the latter have been tele-
gIaphed the sad bereavement that
has been visited upon them by tbe
God of their fathers, who is too
wise to err and too loving to be
unkind. In His own appointed

READY % GUT IH[ P|E
Congressman Rumple Arrives al
Washington and Federal Jobs
Will Be Distributed.
Kemble's Chances for Collector.
shipin Southern District Are
Considered Slim.
Senator Allison May Call the
Delegation Together Next
Week.
Special to Times Republican.

Washington, May 29.-The return of
Capt. Rumple and Judge Conner COM
pletes the Iowa delegation. 1t is quite
probable, now that the congressman
and senators will be in Washington for
some time, that Senator Allison will call
the meeting of the delegations to deter
mine the federal patronage question.
Congressman Rumple is not disposed
to concede that Mr.. Kemble's chances
TO retain the collectorship have gone
"glimmering." He says he cannot be-
lieve that for purely personal reasons
the other members of the delegation
will vote to turn his candidate down.
Capt. Rumple says Mr. Kemble has
made most efficient officer; his record
is surpassed by but four collectors in
the entire country, and that by but a
slight percentage. Other federal Off
GERS in Iowa are slated for re-appoint-
ment; why should Mr. Kemble be the
victim selected for retirement?
Capt. Rumple asserts that the posi-
llOll Ole COliSClOT Is CollCeueu u tlle Sec
ond district. that as matter of fact it
has been minated to him that If he
would name some other gentleman for
collector the delegation, or those at
present opposed to Mr.. Kemble, would
support him. Capt. Rumple takes the
view that If the second district is en-
titled to the dictatorship, then the re-
publicans should be permitted to select
the man who shall fill the position.
There does not appear to be opposition
to Mr.. Kemble in his own district: on
the contrary 1t is understood his con-
tinuance in office would be generally
satisfactory to the republicans of the
second district.
Mr.. Rumple says he is not undertake
ing to dictate to any other Iowa con-
gresham who shall serve the federal
government from his district; he con-
cedes to the people the right to deter
mine that matter among themselves
notwithstanding all that Capt Rum
pie says, well-informed persons are we'll
aware that the congressman from the
southern district of Iowa are against
Mr.. Kemble. and unless he is depend
ing upon, some other source of strength,
or the development of new situation
of advantage to himself, the present
collectors future, officially is not en-
couraging. 1t is quite possible the del
egation will be called together next
week.

congress Asked to Appropriate Sum to
Assist in Emigration.
Chattanooga, Tenn, May 29.-The
colored emigration and commercial
convention adopted long memorial
asking congress to appropriate $780,
100000 to send away such negroes as
desire to leave the United States for
Afrcia or some other country.
The convention points out at great
length the alleged wrongs of the negro,
asserting the ne is not granted the
rights of a human being in this coun-
try. especially in the south, that it is
better for him TO emigrate to some
other country, where he can enjoy
more freedom than he is allowed here.
The convention will be in session
here several days. Bishop Turner of
the African Methodist church is the
leading spirit of the movement. Plans
are now being considered by the con-
vention to raise fund of 100000 with
which to buy ships on which negroes
are to be trained to a sea life. 1t is ex-
rected that these ships will be used
eventually TIC carry negroes to Africa
or any other country where they may
choose to settle.

CHICAGO 1ieup is More complete.

Chicago, May 29.-The striking pack
ing house transfers took further steps
yesterday to extend the strike. Orders
Went out from the transfers head :
quarters that no coal be delivered to
concerns making ice to refrigerate
meat for unfair" butcher shops Oh
packing houses. This promises the
most complete tie-up of teaming deliv-
cries ever experienced in Chicago.
Butchers who use meat delivered by
ronu union drivers will lose their ice.
Concerns that make their own ice will
lose their coal.
AT the Fulton market storage con-
Germs are known to refrigerator meats
for Swift and Armour. and their supply
Of coal is in danger. Numerous other
plants are similarly imperiled, pending
the settlement of the strike.
Conferences between several of the
firms and the representatives of the
unoin We're held in the afternoon in ar
effort to adjust the trouble. but the
packers refused to concede any of the
demands of the strikers, and the prob
ability of an early settlement seems as
remote as on the first day of the tie-up.

New Orleans. La, May 29.-Passen-
gers from Guatemala announce that the
Guatemalan government has decided to
remove the population of QueZaltenan-
go, recently destroyed by an earth
quake, to a new site and to rebuild the
city at n point ten miles distant. An
examination made by expert engineers
resulted in Il report that all the build
illgs in the town had been so wrecked
by the earthquake that they We're LA
bic to fall at any moment, and that it
would be dangerous to allow the popu-
lation to return.
The people are camped in the neigh
borhood, and a Gordon of soldiers has
been drawn around the town to pre-
vent any one returning there A few
OF the lowest class of natives, however,
have slipped thru the soldiers and are
back in their ruined huts. 1t is thought
probable that 1000 or 5000 of the ma
tives will cling to the present ruins in
spite of the efforts of the government
to dislodge them, but the rest of the
population has accepted the decree of
removal, and will move to the new town
now being laid out, and will accept lots
in it on which to build.
The government sself is heavy
loser by the change. as it owned several
million dollars worth of property in
Quezaltenango, but Will probably rec
ompense itself for this loss by the sale
of lots in the new town The destroyed
town was built on a very rough and
hilly stretch of country at the immedi-
ate base of the Sierra Madres molnt-
aims, and has been subject to frequent
earthquakes, none as bad as that of last
month. The new site is about ten miles
northeast of the old one on broad ia
BILE land, midway between two mount
ain ranges, and has seldom felt earth
Quake shocks. 1t is thought that at
least 26,ooO people will avail themselves
of the change in location of the town.
