Tolstoi Not Dead,
But Is Improving:

st. Petersburg. Nov. 1.-THE report of
the death of Count Leo Tolstoi at Asia
pova was received here last night by the
various newspapers and agencies. Inc
Novoe Vremya Moscow correspondent
first telegraphed that Tolstoi was dead
but at an early hour this morning he sent
"a further dispatch saying that message
had been received from Astapova that
Tolstoi was living and the crisis of the
disease had been passed.
At AIS O'Clock this morning the Vest
mix News Agency reported that the death
of Tolstoi was not confirmed.
The reports coming from Astapova,
where Tolstoi has been lying with high
fever for two days, have been conflict
ing throughout. The official diagnosis as
given by the attending physicians Tues
day night was that Tolsto was suffering
from an Inflammation of the lower lobe
of the left lung. but that no immediate
danger threatened. His heart action at
that time said to be good and his
temperature was practically normal.
Only the day before, according to the
doctors, Tolstoi's temperature was 10i and
he was in delirous state On Wednes
day the attending physicians confirmed
the original diagnosis, but added that the
Inflammation was spreading and that the
condition of the patient was critical, al
though not hopeless. His temperature
during the night rose to 1884 and he had
an attack of bleeding from the lungs.
Some time later it was reported that his
temperature had fallen to 1852 Then
ha of HE death and finally
a message from Astapova that he had
successfully passed the crisis of the dis
ease.
London. Nov. 17.-All the London
morning papers announce the death of
Count TOlstoi, based on special dis
patches to a news agency from St.
| Petersburg and Moscow and publish
long memories.
After the issuance of the papers.
there was considerable element of
doubt as to the actual death of ToIstoi
| following the receipt of Russian
| news agency dispatch from st. Peters,
burg, stating that the news was I'M
confirmed.
The Times publishes this dispatch
| from st. Petersburg, timed Isl A. NJ:
News Of Tolstois death reached
here only a few minutes before the
| dispatch of this telegram No details
are yet known here. Conflicting ru-
| mors prevailed the whole of yesterday
1t seems that the journey in a crowd
ed train from the monastery, during
which Tolstoi was compelled by lack
| of room to stand on the platform ex-
| posed to bitter cold and rain was the
direct cause of the inflammat ton of the
! lungs, which unhappily proved fatal"
