THE DEATH OF THE CZAR.
[Pfrtt Pkkss Association.]
ST. PETERSBURG, November 2.
The house of l)r Takaharino is guarded, owing to the mob being incensed at the stories circulated that he misunderstood the illness from which the Czar was suffering. The Czar was informed on Tuesday that the chance of his recovery was hopeless. Ho was perfectly composed, and was happy that he had not died abroad. He received the sacrament on Tuesday morning, and after some hours' sharp suffering the pain ceased. He was conscious to the last, and blessed each child. The Czarina was with him all the time, and he died in her arms. The several Grand Dukes and courtiers t'jok their farewell of the deceased monarch and their oath of allegiance to the Czar Nicholas.
The body of the Czar will be embalmed in Livadia, then convoyed to Odessa en route for St. Petersburg, where the deceased will be buried in the citadel of St. Peter and St. Paul about a fortnight hence.
