"Tsarskoe' Selo, Russia, March 23 On his arrival here yesterday in the custody of . four members of the duma the : deposed Emperor Nicholas was turned over immediately to the Tsar skoe Selo commander and taken to the Alexandrovsky palace, where the former empress . Alexandra already was interned. The special train car rying the former ruler' arrived at 10:30 o'clock on the branch line out side of " Alexandrovsky park. On leaving the train Nicholas entered an automobile, accompanied by his ad jutant. Prince DolgoroukofC. the only courtier of the first rank who accom panied him, by the four 'duma com missioners. , They were flriven to the palace. Nicholas was met at the door in the left wing of the palace by Count Benkendorff, who was his marshal of the court, . and is now under arrest. The former ruler held himself erect, looking calm and indifferent, although he stepped from the automobile with nervous haste. A r battalion of the First rifle guard regiment was at the railroad depot. The commander at Ti arskoe Selo is Col. Kobuilinsky, former commander of the Petrograd sky regiment, stationed in peace time in Warsaw. To him the duma com missioners announced? "Our mission of handing over the emperor is finished We now go to I'etrograd to announce this fact to the duma." The Associated Press correspondent drove to the old Tsarskoe Selo palace, which is entirely deserted and with out guards, and then to the new palace, where the former imperial family is interned. The palace , lies in a large park enclosed, by a plain spiked fence five feet high, coated with, silver paint. From the corner nearest, the old palace the new palace is partly visible through the thick wood, the chief facade, faicng north, being: entirely in view. The first no ticeable ' sign of the revolution was that no imperial 'standard floated from the roof. Within the park, over the broad expanse , of snow, not a single person was 'visible. Apparently there were no guards within the park, but outside the fence every 50 yards along the roadway were double sen tries from the Petrogradsky . regi ment, in long blue coats with fixed bayonets.
