Tula, Russia, Nov. 15.-Count Leo Tolstoi is suffering from bronchitis, and, owing to a nigh fever, is in ex- tremely weak condition. A message from his daughter Alexandra. who is nursing him al Astapova, giving this information, adds that the physicians say no immediate danger threatens.
 Diagnosis of Physicians.
 According to- the official diagnosis of the physicians Tolstoi is suffering from a catarrhal inflammation of the lower lobe of the left lung. His heart action is good. The maximum temper ature today was 102, falling at times to 99, which is practically normal ; pulse 104, dropping to 90; respiration fair. The physicians add th1t~the ex- pectoration and diuresis are sufficient and that the patient has enjoyed tran quil sleep, is in good spirits and is resting quietly.
 Altogether, this is considered a very satisfactory report particularly in view of the high temperature which was maintained yesterday, and the symptoms of mental distress, which Tolstoi was said to have developed. Countess Sophia Joins Her Husband.
 Countess Sophia Tolstoi after the first shock caused by her husband's s sudden abandonment of his home and family, displayed astonishing energy this morning and insisted upon being taken to the count Accompanied by her sons and Count Vladimir Tchert- koff. who formerly WAS Tolstoi's rep resentative in England. she proceeded to Asta pova in a special train.
 The illness of the great author brought about the reconciliation be- tween the countess and Tchertkoff, whose embittered feelings in recent months have caused Tolstoi much an- guish.
