TOLSTOI CRITICAL.
A PRESENTIMENT OF DEATH. HIS REASON FOR FLIGHT. (Received 9.30 a.m.)' ST. PETERSBURG, November 15. Count Tolstoi is in a critical condition. An artist who painted his portrait declares that a presentiment of death impelled him to quit home in order to spare his family pain in connection with the funeral of an excommunicated person. Tolstoi, after leaving in the direction of Sweden, was taken ill in the train, and alighted at Astapov Station with his daughter and a doctor. He is now lying at the station, his temperature being 104 degrees.
