Amsterdam, Aug. 1.-Given two hours in which to prepare for the end, Nicholas Romanoff, former Russian emperor, was taken out by his executioners in a state of such collapse that it was necessary to prop him against a post, says the Lokal Anzeiger of Berlin, which claims to have received from a high Russian personage an account of the emperor's last hours. Nicholas was awakened at 5 o'clock on the morning of his execution. He was then taken to a room where the decision of the soviet council was communicated to him. He was informed the execution would be carried out in two hours.
