BERLIN, Nov. 22.-With the death
OF Herr Krupp, the great gunmaker,
this afternoon. passes the rich
est German in the nation. whose
colossal wealth and marvellous pro
grcss in the steel world has excited
the wonder of nations.
Herr Krupp was quite well yester-
day, but was made i'll by a report
started by Berlin Socialistic organ
that Herr Krupp has been expelled
from the Italian island of Capri. The
charge greatly agitated the great gun
maker and he suffered from a stroke
of apopleXy in consequence. Krupp
had an income of twenty million
marks and there was no king in the
world having so many people directly
depending on him for their livelihood.
He employed fifty thousand people
and with their families, fed over two
hundred thousand.
He gave free education to all his
employees and built great schools
everywhere. He spent more money
than Carnegie in advancing the cause
of education.
The cooperative stores founded by
Krupp millions and managed by his
employees are one of the great won
ders in economics. Krupp owned hall
of the German navy. Individually he
was the owner of feet of ten ocean
steamers. besides over one hundred
coasters and river craft. He was also
the owner of thirty full-sized trains

TRANSFER DEFERRED.
New Government Printing Office to Be
Occupied Early in March.

In view of the vast amount of work i'm
posed on the government printing office
during the sessions Of Congress and the in
expediency Of disturbing the plant while
these demands are being met, it has been
decided by General Gillespie, chief Of en-
gineers, as heretofore stated in The Star.
to defer the formal transfer Of the new
government printing office on G street, now
nearing completion. to the public printer
for occupancy until after the adjournment
Of the present session Of Congress, March 4
next. This plan Of action was based on the
recommendation of Capt John 8. Sewell.
the engineer officer in charge Of the con-
struction of the printing office. who is act
ing in harmony with Mr.. Palmer. the pub
lie printer, in the matter.
The work Is sufficiently advanced to per-
nit Of the transfer of the entire building to
the public printer by the middle of Janu-
airy, If necessary, and large portion of
the building Is already available for use.
cial occasion for haste. The removal of
any considerable portion OF the plant at
this time. while the capacity OF the Office Is
being taxed by the usual heavy demands
is deemed inexpedient. 1t was therefore
concluded best to postpone the transfer
from the old building to the new one until
early in March. when the work Of moving
can be prosecuted without interference or
embarrassment to the vast printing busi-
ness of the government.
The new printery was authorized under
the sundry civil act approved March 8,
from 81, 100000 to s., 429. 900 by a joint reso-
luton approved February IT, 1900. It will
be finished within the limit of cost. with a
small margin to spare. 1t Is steel fire
proof building, and Is the largest, most
complete and finest establishment of the
kind in the world.
