OFFICIALS OF ST. PAUL
ROAD KEEP Their SECRET
Refuse 10 Tell Where the Money
for Pacific Coast Extension
Is Coming From.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

CHICAGO. July 2s-Omcials OF the
St. Paul road are winning a reputation
for keeping a secret that rarely has
been eQualed- Although IL has been
known for several months that the
line is constructing a Pacific Coast
extension. the officials have carefully
guarded the secret Of where the money
IS % come from and the exact route
across Montana. It was reported in
New York a few days ago that the
financial plans had been perfected
aRd the work on the extension would
be pushed from ali points at once.
For some reason the plans did not
materialize and those who have been
anxious TO learn the full details of the
extension are forced TO wait a while
longer
We are rapidly completing our
plans" said a St. Paul official in Chi
cago. but I cannot say how long it
viii be before we viii be able to
announce All the details. AS to the
route across Montana, we cannot tell
about that yet because it is not def
uitely settled"

Outlawed Russian Statesmen Plan
Campaign of Terrorism.

BERLIN, July 2s.-The Russian Cor
respondence News, a syndicate work
ing in opposition to the Russian Gov
ernment, has distributed to the Berlin
press an account of a conversation one
of it's promoters had with NM Rodft-
chef, Ostrogorsly, Swetschim and
Professor Kovalevsky, members of
the outlawed Russian Parliament, who
attended the conference OF the Inter
parliamentary Union in London and
who are on their. way back to Russia,
stopping here to change trains The
Russians took a hopeful view of the
situation. Roditcheff said it was only
the beginning-the spring in the de-
velopment of Russian liberty.
But. said the interviewer, lis not
the quiet with which the dissolution
of Parliament was received by the
Russian people a bad Indication"
Not at ALL" replied NJ. Rodltcheff
The answer will be given by the fight
ing parties They will return to the
arguments of bombs and the peasants
will refuse to pay taxes and will resort
to risings. Only a few weeks, perhaps
a couple of months. will elapse before
an organized opposition will break out.
Premier Stolypin himself, if he has any
real intention Of governing without the
use of force alone, Will find that he
must reckon with the demands of the
people as a Parliament"
Roditchef. who did most of the
talking for the party, said he regarded
Stolypin as a bureaucrat, not selected
by the Emperor alone, but put forward
by others. From the style of Stoly-
pins manifesto he believed that Pobie-
donostzeff, Procurator General of the
Holy Synod, had a hand in it's compo-
sition.

MILLIONS Of SAGE
To BE DIVIDED.
Widow of Late Financier
Will Distribute Estate
Among the Charities
HER PLANS FORMED

NEW YORK, July 2S.-Russell Sage's
fortune, estimated at from s7O,00O'OOo
to 10000, 900. has been left virtually
to charity Those close to Mrs. Sage,
to whom practically the entire estate
was bequeathed, declare with seeming
authority that the millions will be
distributed in aid of worthy objects,
and in accordance with an understand
ing reached by the fnancier and his
wife long ago.
AS Sage's life was given up to the
accumulation of riches, so the years
or Mrs Sage have been devoted TO
study of philanthropy and what he
gathered she is expected TO scatter
with lavish hand.
Unless the estate should be tied up
by contest. which now appears i'm
probable, Mrs. Sage will. it is said,
begin at once TO make long-cOntem-
plated gifts. Mrs. Sage would not
make any statement herself following
the probating of the will yesterday. as
to what would be done with this inn
mense fortune. which she, woman of
advanced years, has to handle, but DIR.
j. Carl Schmuck, who has been her
physician and close friend for eighteen
years, made the statement that it
would be distributed by Mrs. Sage
among various charities.
DR.. Schmuck was at the Sage home
IN Lawrence, l.. l., last night. When
ne came away from visiting Mrs. Sage.
he said:
In leaving his fortune to Mrs Sage
Mr.. Sage has left it to charity. She
will distribute it What can she do
but give 1T away. How could a woman
OF such advanced years spend a thou
sandth part of it herself.
Mr.. Sage knew his wife had made
study of philanthropy and that she
knew much more than he did about it.
He knew that in leaving it to her she
would take advantage of this study
she had made and distribute the for
tune wisely. Despite the impression
which the will may have given, the
fortune has been left to charity.
L do not know Mrs. Sage's exact
plans. That she has certainly some
plans / do know. Her gifts will be
along broad lines, as she is deeply
interested in educational work, in vari-
Gus forms of charitable enterprises, in
the soldiers and sailors, in the Young
Mems Christian Association and in hos
pitals. That is all can say to indicate
what will become of the fortune"
DR.. Schmuck said last night that Mrs
Sage was not ILL Although n years
old, she is in fairly good health. She
realizes, however, that she has not
many years to live and for that reason
will begin the distribution of the for
tune in the way that she desires very
soon.

the Frenchmen to cease firing. but be-
fore this was done Lieutenant England
was hit I'm the back, at the base of the

which left his body under the arm.
The crew Of the Dupetit Thouars

the large moneyed interests thus rep
resented Money conditions have been
easier and the low rates for call loans
have proved an attraction for stock
market operations. The dissolution of
the Russian Douma and the resulting
unsettlement of foreign markets put
an abrupt end to the chance of secur-
ing gold in London for New York early
in the week. This disappointment
seemed to be accepted with equanimity
by the New York market, as was the
death of Russell Sage. Later events
proved that provision had been made
to prevent money or stock market dis
turbance following the death of the
capitalist and the fears of an imme-
diate confagration in Russia were also
smoothed over by, the later turn Of
events and by the effective recovery
in foreign markets Of Russian securi-
ties.

SHOW A LARGE INCREASE
Class Of New Arrivals During Last
Fiscal Year Did Not Come
Up to Usual Standard.

WASHINGTON. July IS Revised
figures indicate that the immigration
to this country during the fiscal year
which ended June 80 last was 1854
greater than 1t was during the fiscal
year 1905. The immigration during the
past year aggregated 1,100.07S, against
1,026,499 for the previous year. 1t is
notable that the class of immigrants
was not so high as in many previous
years, most of them coming from
Austria Hungary, Russia and Italy.
During the year just passed 12,433
persons were debarred for various
causes, principally disease.
During the year seventeen aliens i'm

WV warsaw, July 2S.-Two dar-

Wv committed in Russian Poland
today. one of them resulting

had attempted to defend the train.
The second robbery was committed
tonight on the Warsaw-Vienna Rail
way, six miles from Warsaw While
the train was under way, unknown per-
sons pulled the danger signal, causing
II 10 stop.
Robbers who were aboard jumped out
and seized the locomotive and detached
the mail car from the train and ran it
down the line. They obtained sS7.5OO
Of Government money.
The robbers evidently were well in
formed that the train had the money
on board. They carried red flags and
are supposed to be members of the
Polish Socialist party. The train was
without guard, and hence there was
no fighting and no casualties. Efforts
to capture the robbers failed

TREPOFF THE
TYRANT DEAD
Had Escaped Numerous At
temptS Made Upon
His Life
VICTIM OF HEART DISEASE

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 17-Gen.
Dimitri Feodorovich Trepoff COM
mandant Of the imperial palace. died
at o'clock Saturday evening in his
villa at Peterhoff Of angina pectoris.
General Trepon would have been 81
years old December Is. For several
months he has been suffering from
heart affection and asthmatic troubles,
and sometime ago was forced to
abandon a large amount of the routine
work included in his duties as COM
mandant OF the palace. but remained
In office and was still in touch with
the Emperor.
Though for two years he was con-
stantly living under the threat Of as
sassination, with even members Of his
family among those seeking to take
his life, General Trepoff's death was
due entirely to natural causes; but
the revolutionists can at least claim
partial responsibility for his end, as
his Illness was superinduced by the
strain due to constant fear OF death.
which with lack Of exercise and recre-
alton during the last two years wore
down his originally splendid constitu-
tion.
He had become so nervous OF late
that recently when a military attache
Of a continental power was unexpect-
edly ushered into his room General
Trepoff sprang to his feet and stood
In an attitude of defense, but when
he recognized his visitor he sank into
his chair almost unnerved.
Though the gravity of his malady
was recognized from the first, his
death came as a great surprise. He
was able to be up and around until
the very last. He attended the parade
of the Pavlovsky Regiment last We'd
nesday. and on Thursday was present
at the landing stage when Emperor
Nicholas and the imperial family en-
barked on the yacht STANDARD for
cruise to Biorko. With the Emperor
safely at sea and out OF the reach Of
the terrorists. one of General Ire
pon's greatest responsibilities was
lifted. and the feeling of relief he ex-
perienced was plainly apparent. He
was extremely weak, however, and in
capable Of exertion he formerly had
practiced.
General Trepoff's death viii not have
any immediate influence on the policy
Of the government which for the time
being at least. is firmly in Premier
Stolypins hands; but in case there is
crisis srch as that of last October
Emperor Nicholas will miss his strong
will and inflexible purpose, on which
he leaned.
