November 20, 1908
Nicholas II is said to be "slightly indisposed," and is not expected to walk the three miles through St. Petersburg for the funeral of Grand Duke Alexis, which will take place tomorrow. Journalists and other officials have suggested that the Emperor fears that at an attempt could be made on his life if he takes part in the procession. The entire route will be lined with troops, "but there is considerable apprehension for the safety of the emperor."
Several inches of snow fell today in St. Petersburg, and more snow is expected tomorrow.
