BallsWhizOverNicholas Nicholaievitch During Maneuvers of Troops END SHAM BATTLE b URING a sham battle be- tween Russian troops yes- terday bullets whizzed over the head of Grand Duke Nicho- las Nicholalevitch, President of the Council of National Defense. Investigation failed to show which body of troops used ball instead of blank cartridges, but it is belleved that the bullets sped with murderous intent came from the ramks of a favored regiment. 1 *> . T. PETERSBURG, Aug.-11.—Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholafevitch, president of the Council of Na- tional Defense, narrowly esoaped assassination yesterday afternoon at the hands of the Inmiperial Guards in the guard camp at Krasnoye-Selo. The Grand Duke was personally reviewing the maneuvering and putting the troops through blank firing practice when he suddenly was startled by the wasp-like hiss of bullets about his head. Fortu- nately neither himself nor his horse ‘was touched. | The command to cease firing was im- mediately given and the soldlers of the regiment from which ‘the bullets came were marched back to their quarters and an {nvestigation begun in the hope of ascertaining .from.the. barrels of the rifles which of the soldiers fired ball cartridges. One of the Grand Duke's aldes-de- camp, who, however, w=s not personally | present, advanced -the: theory ‘that pos- | sibly the bullets were fired by accident, but he considered that beyvond a dgubt | there was a plot on the part of a n¥im- | | ber of disloyal guardsmen who deliber- | | ately planned to take the Grand Duke's |1ife under cover of the general blank cartridge firing. SHOTS NOT ACCIDENTAL. “Jt was no more an accldent,” the |alde-de-camp . sald, “than was the nr-‘ ing of the charge of grape from the sa- | luting battéry at ‘the winter palace on the occasion of the ceremony of bless- ing the waters of the Neva by the Em- | peror a year and a half ago. The bold| |attempt on the Grand Duke's life caused | an immediate change in the plans of the | Emperor, who had arranged to go to | Krasnoye-Selo today and spend a week | with the soldfers of his Imperial Guard.” | A correspondent visited the guard |camp at Krasnoye-Selo today and as- | certainea that, though several arrests| | had been made, responsibility for the| shots fired at Grand Duke Nicholas had | not definitely been brought home to any | particular culprits. It was only after a long investigation | that it was determined that the ball cartridges were fired by the First Bat- talion of Sharpshooters, one of the elite | corps of the Russian army. Suspicion | was directea toward the “one year vol- | unteers;” recruits, who, In consideration of their educational qualifications and social position, escape with only one | year instead of four years' service. Many of these men are ex-students at universities ' and are the principal | spreaders of the revolutionary propa- ganda among the troops. | The officers of the regiments involved are extremely reticent concerning .the affair, but from a mémber of the Grand Ducal escort it was learned that the incident occurred during a movement | of the Ismaliloveky Guard and the guard | sharpshooters against a position held | by the Seminovsky Regiment. | BALLS CAUSE CONFUSION. Grand Duke Nicholas was sitting on his charger and observing the maneuver from the top of an intrenchment. The troops were advancing by short rushes in open order across a wide, level field, firing blank vollevs by squad as they came. A few yards behind the Grand | Duke was his suite, including General | Zarubaeft, second in command of the | suard corps, adjutants and orderlies, and several civillans, Including Count- ess Nlerod. Suddenly, when the first echelon of the attacking force, consisting of | sharpshooters, was from 450 to 500 yards distant, a ball sang high over- head, followed by another and another. The cry was raised, “They are firing ball!” and the group was thrown into confusion. After frantic signaling, “cease firing” was sounded, but the shots continued for some time. Grand Duke Nicholas remarked when he rejoined his suite: “It would be more realistic {f the troops always fired ball during maneuvers, but this is un- pardonahle negligenc: HOPE FOR MUTINEERS. Czar Inclined to Bellef Officers Are to Blame for Uprising. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 11.—An- other indication of the determination of the administration to participate in the electoral campaign is furnished by an order of the Minister of, the Interior to the police throughout’ the empire to make reports as speedily as possible on all the political parties in their dis- tricts, their #trength, organization, membership, activity and press organs. Count Heyden today centributes to the controversy over the failure of himself and his friends to enter the Ministry, an open.letter declaring that they insisted on being given at least five placés in the Cablnet in order to have a preponderance, but that they were obliged to refuse the two places finally offered, as this would have made them a negligible quantity. The revelations made in' open letters by Count Heyden, Prince Nicholas Lvoft and M. Shipoff regarding the cauge of the breakdown of the negotla- tlons looking to their entering the Cab- inet place Premier Stolypin.in a rather bad light. The letters show that the Governmient utterly! refused to yield anything in the matter of principle. After tte preliminary investigations the militaty and naval prosecutors have decided to try by court-martial no less than 2000 soldiers and sailors' who par- ticipated in .the. Cronstadt -and -Svea- borg mutinles.. .The prospects of the men, however, bave been brightened by the decision of ‘the Emperor to ap- point two extraordinary commissions, headed respectively by General Vodar and Gunghbrbft ‘and ' Admirals’ ‘Mollas and Makaroff, to investigate the causes of the outbreaks:jat Cronstadt and Sveaborg, and to détermine the respon- sibility - of thé demoralization. - War Minister Rudiger and Minister of Ma- rine Birileff are sald to be arriving at the same concluston - as Admiral Skryd- loff, the commander of the Black Sea fleet, that the officers are more to blame than the men.

Free Buses From Thlrd'and Townsend and Sixth and Mission de-camp of the Emperor going through the country announcing to the ignor- ant peasantry that the Emperor had decreed the distribution of all land, but that the nobles and landlords were preventing the news from reaching the peasants, and instructing them to take what the Emperor had given. A still bolder fraud has just been’exposed here. Some time ago a man appeared at the headquarters of the comman- der of the Kharkov garrison, repre- senting himself as Lieutenant Pojot- sky, alde-de-camp of General Sukhom- linoff, commander of the military dis- trict of Klev, in which Kharkov lives. He presented what purported to be an official document authorizing him to transmit orders regarding the disposi- tion of the troops. The idea of ques- tioning his authority never seemed to have entered the mind of the comman- der of the garrison, who received him with the greatest attention and turned over for inspection all military docu- ments in his possesion. For several weeks “Lieutenant Pojotsky” was en- tertained by the officers, was a promi- nent figure at the military reviews and personally accompanied several “puni- tive” expeditions into the country. When he left it was with full mili- tary honors. Later, in the course of correspon- dence of General Sukhomlinoff, it was discovered the man was on imposjer. STOGK MOVEMENTS IRE IRREGULAR. NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—The market was decldedly feverish during the short session today and the small net ohanges gave no idea of the aotivity in the fluctuations or the large volume of transactions. The opening tons was heavy and the drive against Reading had a depressing influence. There was a momentary pause in the market also after the appearance of the bank state- ment, which was weak. At the very last, after the most active buying of the day, there was some renewed real- izing which made the closing tone ir- The action of the Reading stock suggested a professional raid and it was suspected that this was for the purpose of enapling a large short interest to cover. There were very heavy absorptions of St. Paul and the Harriman Pacifics after the appearance of the bank state- ment. A decline of more than $9,000,000 in the cash reserve of the bank reserves was much larger than anticipated or than can be agcounted for by the known movements of money this week and the discrepancy in last week's statement, which failed to reflect the loss indi- cated by the known movements of sev- eral million dollars. The surplus re- serve, which is reduced to $8,271,5625, compares with $12,846,800 a year ago and $67,731,475 two years ago. No doubt s felt, in view 'of the banking situation, the rising rates for money and the movement of cash toward the interfor, that gold will be withdrawn from London next week for New York account. 3 Total $620,000.
