Count Leo Tolstoi still lives, despite reports of his. death that threw a pall over iftissia Into yesterday. Ad vices to thnt effect from authori tative sources were received today and draperies thnt were hung on public douts were hastily taken down. In the laborer's hut nt Astapova, which has been Tolstois sickroom since his breakdown at Astapova Matiuiii the count passed a restless night, according to the dispatches that reached hero early today. Lator advices said (hut his temperature had receded to 100 and that there were hopes that he might ugniii get well. The first dispatches telling of T.olstoi's deajh were received from Prince Oblensky, and were credited generally. Theaters closed their 'oofs, entertainments were cancelled and messages of condolence from nil sides were sent to the Countess Tolstoi. i .Messages following that of the prince said thnt Tolstoi in bis-dying moments bud refused u reconcilia tion with his wile und( that she was barred from the death chamber. These messages brought an expres sion of grief even from the enemies of Tob.'oi. The announcement that Count Tolstoi is still alive is causing kind lier feelings toward him on nil sides and it is highly probable that bis sworn enemies will forgive him com pletely should he icgaiii his health.
