TREPOFF WAS IN DISFAVOR.
Gear Was Indignant over an Observa

tloTI VI TIC SCHSI dts
Vienna, Sept 1S.-Reports reviewed
by the Neuesweiner Tageblatt say
General Trepoff at the general cOun-
Gil at Peterhof, Aug. q, said 1--WE have
made fearful mistake in not having
formed a cabinet representative of So
ciety." Emperor Nicholas, indignant
at the observation, avoided General
Trepoff thenceforth. Later General
Trepoff presented the emperor with a
project he had elaborated respecting
the sale of the crown lands, but the
emperor coldly ordered him to hand it
to Grand Duke Nicholas, his bitterest
enemy.
General Trepoff took this treatment
to heart, coming from the hands of
those to whom he had devoted his
whole life and passed his last days in
the closest retirement, suffering in
tensely from depression. Early on
the morning of Sept 13 General Ire
poff found on his writing table a docu-
ment, which he knew as he unfoulded
it, was a death sentence from the
revolutionary committee. Greatly
agitated he was seized with a cramp
of the heart and it was a recurrence
of this that eventually caused his
death,

DECLINES THE NOMINATION.
Republican Candidate for Governor of
essa Colorado Withdraws.


Denver, Sept. 1S.-Philip B. Stewart,
recently nominated for governor Of
Colorado on the Republican ticket,
has sent letter to the Republican
state chairman declining the nomina-
ton. While the letter does not state
in so many words, the reason Mr..
Stewart declined to run Is on account
of the placing of Judge w. A. Cab
bert ON the ticket as candidate for re-
election to the supreme bench. Be-
fore the convention Mr.. Stewart adj
vised against the nomination of Cab
bert When the nomination was made
Stewart was not present, being i'll at
his hotel He did not learn that Cab
bert's name was on th6Aticket until
Sunday and it is said he declared to
State Chairman Vivian that he would
not run on the same ticket with Pop
ulist" A very diplomatic letter was
sent to Chiei Justice Gabbert, who
was elected to the supreme bench six
years ago as a Populist. Gabbert is
said to have declared he would not
withdraw if the entire Republican
ticket refused to run with him. Mr.,
Stewart then gave the Republican
state committee until 10 o'clock Mon
day to get Gabbert off the ticket AS
no move was apparently made in that
direction, he issued his letter declin-
