carry the Gar into q neighboring house
and endeavor to staunch the flow Of blood.
The Emperor had evidently not lost con-
sciousness, for when the proposal was
made he distinctly said, 'e Bear me to the
place to die" Another police sledge
now came up, and in this they placed the
Emperor, supporting him on either side,
for he was unable to keep up his head
At first the sledge moved forward at a
walk, but the Cars strength seemed to
fail so rapidly that orders were given to
go at brisk trot to the palace. When
they arrived the Emperor was unconscious,
and in that condition he was carried
through the gates. Physicians were sum-
moned to his bedside. Surgeon Krou-
glevski, DR.. Botkin, DR.. Marcus and DR..
Dvorlachine obeyed the call. The last
named Immediately fetched such instru-
ments as were necessary for amputating
the legs. Bandages were applied. The
veins were tied in order that the blood
might flow back to the heart. The Gar
recovered consciousness for a brief mo-
ment and received the sacrament from NJ
Bajalov, the chaplain, then his heart ceased
to beat
When the explosion took place the
Czarevitch was at lunch with his family
in the Amutchkoff Palace. They heard
the noise with fearful forehodings They
waited in terrible anxiety, and soon an
Imperial equerry galloped up. The Care
witch and his wife rushed out to meet him.
They were told that the Emperor was
frightfully wounded. The heir-apparent
jumped into sleigh and drove to the
Winter Palace, being the first to arrive
after the Grand Duke Michael Other
members of the Imperial family followed.
Then came many illustrious PERSONS
Among them were Prince Soumaroff,
Prince Dondukoff Korsakof, Count Mil
lutin, Count Alderberg and Count Loris
Melikof. The Emperor was not wholly
unconscious when they arrived. He open
ed his eyes and gave slight tokens that he
recognized some members of his family.
He muttered Shasha,' the diminutive of
the hereditary Princes name. At the
moment when he breathed his last all who
were present in the chamber were kneel-
ing in silent prayer. The events ofthe next
few hours were deeply affecting. AS the
Czarevitch left the palace he was received
with enthusiastic acclamation by the
crowd. The Princess Dolgorouki tainted
away when she heard the sad news, and
remained unconscious for two hours
That same evening, accompanied by her
sister and Prince Alberkirski, Governor
of Warsaw, who is her sisters husband,
she left for St. Petersburg, being taken
to the railway station in pubic convey
ance. 1t is believed that she will remain
in lifelong exile. 1t has been noticed as
a strange coincidence that the day of the
Cars death was the anniversary of
Orsini's execution, and that the spot on
which the Emperor was murdered was
that on which Gen. Mezentzof, chief of
the third section, was stabbed by his as
sassin. 1t is now inclosed and covered
with turf Immorteles have been planted
upon it. Sentries of the old regiment of
the Emperor Paul, clad in the picturesqe
uniform of the last century, stand there
on guard, striving to keep back the peo-
pie, who eagerly snatch at anything that
can be carried off as a relic"
