T0LSTOI VERY ILL
 IN LITTLE DEPOT
Lies in Obscure Russian Rail- road Station, Broken Down by Hardships of Journey

(SpSC1a1 rom Un1t0Q PToSS.)
 St. Petersburg, Nov. 15.-The phy- sicians attending Count Leo Tolstoi, in the little railroad depot, at Asta- pova, announced, today, that the celebrated writer is in a critical con dition. It is feared he cannot re- cover. Tolstoi, attended by his 1ife- long friend. Dr. Makovestky, and his daughter, Alexanda, is lying in an illy-ventilated room in the station. There is no hospital in the village and few provisions for making the patient comforta able.
 Countess Tolstoi has not joined her husband, though she is on his vast estate at Yasnaya Polyana, only 80 miles away. His wish was that she should not seek him out and it is as law to her. That the Count was evil dently on his way to Canada to join the fanatical Doukhobors, is thought to have been shown by his move ments. It is believed he was en route to Sweden, from which country he expected to make his way to America, when he was taken ill.
 Accompanied by his daughter and his physician, the Count left the palace at Shamaridoro,> where he had been visiting his nun-sister, last night. He drove to Koveslhan and to cover his movements, said he was on his way to Moscow, where he has a house..
 Tolstoi. attired in his favorite cos tune, with high boots, carried only $17. In almost poverty, the wealthy Count took a seat in the poorly-ven tilated third rate car. By the time so ill that his physician forced him to leave the train. Those who, have seen Count Tolstoi believe his mind has become unbalanced.
