UnfavorabIe Comment In
ST. Petersburg.

ST. PETERSBURG. Sept 19.-General
Dmitri Trepon. who died last Saturday,
was buried today at Peterhof Contrary to
expectation the emperor was not present
at the funeral His majesty is still cruising
in Finnish waters on board the imperial
yacht STANDARD

lines OF soldiery representing all the units
OF the st. Petersburg garrison from the
villa where the general died to the cathe-
dral and thence to the place of interment
Although an attempt by revolutionists to
interrupt the services was feared, nothing
happened.
The fact that the emperor did not aban-
don his pleasure cruise to return and at
tend the funeral of devoted subject, al
though his return was scheduled for yes
terday, has aroused much unfavorable
comment. It IL recalled that his majesty
absented himself from the funeral of Cen
eral Northumberland, who lost his life at
Port Arthur. The emperor and the en-
press were represented today only by
magnificent wreaths.
A high police officer explained to tho As
sociated Press that the emperor's absence
WAS due to Premier stolypin, who had been
informed that an attempt might be made
against his majesty and telegraphed him
not to return.
With the exception of Controller of the
Empire Schwanebach. no ministers were
present. The only members of the i'm
perial family who attended the funeral
were Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch
his brother; Grand Duke Peter and Grand
Duchess Elizabeth. widow of the late
~yand Duke Sergius and a sister OF the
bfnpress
General Trepoff. when he was prefect
OF Moscow, was on terms of close friend
ship with Grand Duchess Elizabeth. The
widow OF Grand Duke Sergius came from
Moscow especially to attend the funeral
