Government upholds Trepoff
A semi-official announcement issued
today says:
The expressions in the foreign
newspapers of lack Of confidence re-
garding the appointment of Governor
General Trepoff as a measure calcu-
lated to improve the situation have
created astonishment IN official circles
In st. Petersburg and on the bourse.
The impression in st. Petersburg re-

was a Christian convert and, 1t Is said,
a distant relative Of Paul, the apostle,
who lodged with him from A. D. Al to
30 and converted his two daughters,
Praxedes and Pudentiana. For the re-
ngious uses Of himself and guests he
built small chapel in this house, and
when he died in SO and his wife a
year later his daughter added bap-
tistery, the plans for which were drawn
by Plus, the then bishop Of Rome. In
course Of time q church was erected
on the site Of the original house Of
Pudens and consecrated by the bishop
