die, and hoped that Russia would never
forget what he had been sacrificed for
upholding her institutions and maintain

the end was near, and that the Emperor's
strength was waning, and every now and
then the blood streamed from the rugged
wound.

trying amputation, the dying man opened
his eyes, and motioned them away. At half
past three o'clock he breathed his last. A
few minutes before his death the Emperor
received the sacrament.
