 At lucid interval, a priest adminis- tered extreme unction. The Metropolitan Fla vian blessed and consoled him. Ere crently he called Give me the letter. take 1t away; give me a red pencil; lift me; light up"
 Thirty minutes before his death Stoly- pin asked the doctors to turn him on his side. He died surrounded by several of his relatives and state officials. All hope, for the premiers recovery was abandoned this morning. SatuTday night indications of peritonitis were noted
 The bulletin issued by the attending physicians early this afternoon declared the patients condition was hopeless. Premature reports of the premiers s death were current for hours before 1t occurred. Several embassies were mfsled by the reports and notified their govern- ments. These decided to conceal the news of the prerniers death until later on, fearing anti-semitic outbreaks. This was found to be impossible and after the an- nouncement was made all attention of the authorities was focused on the protection of the Jews.
 Representatives of the Jewish ghettoes were panic stricken and begged for pro- lection and 10000 troops were poured Into Kiex to prevent excesses

 Early examinations of the wounds
 inflicted on the premier by Demltry' Bogroff led to hope for an early re- ,~t, ,tc af symptoms followed a few hours after the patient had made a most hopeful rally The rally followed Immediately the removal of tfe bullet in an effort to relieve the premier of unbearable pain of which he had complained throughout Saturday night and which had thrown him into state of depres- sion where death seemed welcome relief
 Several times during Saturday night the premier had broken out iDvolun- tarily with a murmured exclamation:
 "I feel death stealing upon me-.
 The operation was entirely success fil. The bullet was removed without difficulty and hopes apparently were justified when the premier expressed a great sense of relief and cheerfully talked with his attendant, inauiring of current events and commenting on the appearance of his assailant.
 "The little fellow was awfully pitiful as he came up to me in the theatre, said Stolypin. He was pale and bowed
 "a sorry figure"
 The favorable symptoms did not last long. Soon the patients pulse began tosmount alarmingly and unmistakable symptoms of perltonitis set h. His temperature remained strangely aver age. later sinking a trifle below the normal, 9s.6.
 The normal temperature was at first ascrbed to an almost total elimination of outside infection on account of the care with which Professor Rhein had made the initial dressings. Later some of the physicians were inclined to re- gard the dropping temperature as an nnfavorable sign. indicating the pa titnt's system was yielding to the septic poisoning without the struggle which would be marked by a rise in temper a.ture.
