TRIBUTE TO SCHURz
|1R. SIMON VOLTS ESTIMATE or
HIS cHARAcTER.

Tribute was paid to the late Carl Schurx
today by his longtime friend and asso-
ciate. Mr.. Simon Wolf.
Referring to the deceased statesman, Mr..
Wolf said:
Forty-four years Of uninterrupted friend
snip emboldens me to place on record the
high estimate and loving appreciation I
have ever entertained for one or the great
est men OF ali time. have ever regarded
Carl schnrx an not only the greatest for
eisner. but a. one OF the great Americans
who lived and iabored for the highest In
tellectual development. the purest political
ethics. who was fearless In the advocacy
OF ali that which he conceived to be right
and Just. and whose literary style vas UNI
equaled BY few and surpassed by none.
ranked him. and In tho all-important quss-
tions OF sound finance his voice rang ever
clear. ana no american Statesman OF the
last forty years exercised q greater iniiu-
ence upon the masses In the matter OF
maintaining sound finance than did Carl
Schurx
In Behalf Of Sound Money.
'Tt IL within the memory of men that II
was his incisive power before large audi
erces that saved the state of Ohio from go
Ing over to the greenback craze, and saved
election. A ripe scholar In several Ian
guages. a student of national and interna-
tfonal history. devout lover OF the land Of
his birth. and yet a sincere and ardent
american patriot. He combined to a rare
degree all those elements OF power and
honor that constitute the highest ideals of
manhood" -.
Mr. Wolf added that three weeks ago
ne had pleasant chat with Carl Schurz
at his residence in New York He said he
was then writing his impressions and
opinions of the Grant administration, and
remarked: my dear friend you were on
very intimate terms with General Grant
You know more about his personal
character THANH do. and you had knowI-
edge OF political matters, while I have
but vague. notions, and possibly preju-
diced ones. 1 want to be fair and Just
and would be Obliged IL you would at
your earliest convenience write out your
impressions Of General Grant personally
ana OF his administration ofiicially, so
that car, revise my opinion. which am
most anxious to do"
His Purpose Frustrated.
II commenced. according to his request.
doing this when. his last Illness and la
mentable death occurred; thus the inten-
tion that he desired to carry out has been
frustrated. and 1t will be left to the hands
OF another to do that which he SO lovingly
intended.
The American people will never again
see one SO gifted and so versatile and SO
honest as was Carl Schurz, and those
Americans OF German origin should hold
him up as an exemplar Of all that was
great. loyal and responsive to the severest
test OF American citizenship. II the he
r0es OF the revolution deserved recogni-
ton at the hands OF grateful nation. no
hero OF modern times deserves more than
does the name and fame Of the transcon-
tinental Carl Schurz.

PLOT AGAINST
The CzAR'S LIFE
Discovered by Arrest Of Terror.
lists in Quarters Of Servants in
Alexandra Palace.

St Petersburg, sept 2S--A well laid
plot against the life Of the emperor
and one with all the chances Of SUCCESS
on its side. was uncovered TODAY by
the arrest Of two armed terrorists. a
man and a woman, in the quarters Of
one OF the servants Of the Alexandria
palace. Peterhof, his majestys closely
guarded residence on Cronstadt bay
The servants son and another hckey
named Kemm Klepnikon, who were
concerned In smuggling the terronsts
through the guards were arrested ai5U.
Emperor Nicholas has been expected
to return to Peierhof this week and It
is presumed that the terrorists intend
ed 10 shoot him while he was prone
nading or playing with his children In
the palace grounds
Part Of the great park al feterhof
is protected on one side by the Saters
OF the bay. and on the other sides Il Is
enclosed by a high wall surmounted
with iron spikes This wall IL con.
iantly patrolled by trusted Cossacks.
Inside the palace grounds the only
buildings are the unpretentious Palace
and two or three smaller houses for the
servants.
The ramihcations OF the conspiracy,
in which arrests have been reported al
most daily since Sept Is when hickey
and several Others were arrested, are
extensive and may possibly have IN
cluded two or more Subdivisions. one
directed at the emperor and the other
against Grand Duke Nicholas. The ar
