England did not want to irritate the workers’ sentiments. It was impossible for us to send the Emi peror abroad, so I prepared to send i him to Tobolsk, where the population i was peaceful. Sir George Buchanan ! was first approached in March, when i he offered to arrange for the Emperor’s - safety, but owing to passions running i ' high in Russia it was then impossible ; to do anything.”
