TREPOFF'S DEATH.
End Due to Service on Him Of Revo
Iutionists Sentence.

s~s'S''o$o 0CVSSS~Ss
Vienna. Sept. 2O-According to in
formation received by the Nues Wien
er Tageblatt from "a distinguished
Russian authority" General Trepoff, al
the council at Peterhof, August Is, re
marked:
I'VE have made a fearful mistake in
not having formed a cabinet represen.
tative OF society,"
Emperor Nicholas, indignant at the
observation. avoided General Trepoff
thenceforth. Later General Trepoff
presented to the emperor a project he
had elaborated respecting the sale of
the crown lands. but the emperor cold
ly ordered him to hand ii to Grand
Duke Nicholas, his bitterest enemy
The grand duke, after reading the pro-
ject. remarked:
1T is extraordinary that YOU have
become liberal, after the attempt to
poison you. You are a liberal from
fear of revolution, not from convic-
tiOn."
General Trepoff took this statement
to heart, coming from the hands of
those to whom he had devoted his en-
tire life. and passed his last days in
the closest retirement. suffering in
tensely from depression. Early on the
morning of September l3, General Ire
poff found on his writing table a docu.
ment which he knew, as he unfolded il,
was a death sentence from the revolu,
tionary committee. Greatly agitated
ne was seized with a cramp of the
heart, and 1t was recurrence of this
that eventually caused his death.
