GEAR REFUSED
 GERMAN REPLY
SAID HE WOULD NOT BE TRAITOR
Gen. Ivanoff Tells Emperor That If He Allows Entrance of Germans to Quiet the CanailIe" Countr, May Be Saved But Car Refused.

PETROGRAD, March 31.--The his tory of the last hour of Emperor Nicholas as ruler of Russia is related by the correspondent Rossil of Mos COW, as follows:
 Two trains arrived at the station at Vishera ton the Moscow Petrograd railroad, 125 miles southeast of Pet rograd) on the night of March IA. One train carried the emperor's suite, the second the emperor, Gen. Baron Fredericks, minister of the imperial house, and Admiral Niloff, Gen. Za- bel, and others. Nicholas, called from headquarters by the empress, was on the way to the Tsarkoe-Selo. None of the telegrams announcing the uprising had reached the empe TOT. Every effort was made to keep him in ignorance of these affairs. Gen. Zabel protested, declaring the empe- TOT should know of the crisis, and stating that if the others refused to inform him he would do so himself. Nicholas, who had been sleeping, was awakened at 2 o'clock in the morni ing. He went to the dining car and demanded that Admiral Niloff tell him what had happened in Petrograd. He was told that a crowd of students, hoodlums, and young soldiers had tar ho hut fhof fnW detachments of troops would be able to put them down.
 Just then Commander Voyekoff of the imperial train entered with a tel cgram stating that TOO of the St. George cavalry were on the way to Tsarkoe-Selo to present a cross to the emperor and had arrived at the near by station of Ono, headed by General Ivanoff.
 Your majesty" said Voyekoff, "it is enough that you appear at the Tsar- koe-Selo in the midst of these heroes and with the Tsarkoe-Selo garrison go to the duma. All the troops will remember their oath. It will be easy to overcome the young soldiers"
 Tt is a lie. your majesty" shouted Gen. Zabel. You are deceived. Read these talegrams. Here is the order. 'To the imperial train at Visheria; do not send the train to Tsarkoe-Selo. hut to Petrograd.'
 The emperor arose and exclaimed: What does this mean? Is it rev. olution? Is Grekoff (who signed the order to divert the train) commander in Petrograd?"
 Then Gen. Zazel spoke out, saying: There are 6O,OOO troops with off, cers, backing the temporary govern ment. Your majesty has been declar- ed dethroned. It is impossible to go further"
 Nicholas, completely nonplussed exclaimed:
 Why was 1 not told before? Why tell me now when all is finished?" After a moment he ended with a gesture of helplessness: Let it be so. Thank God. 1 will abdicate if that is what the people want. l will go to Lividia (the estate of the Rus sian imperial family on the south coast of the Crimea) to my gardens. I am so fond of flowers"
 The train moved toward Bologie. At Ono a telegram was received stat
