inscribed on his banner from the first, and he
fought hard for them. in his way, to the
bitter end. His manner, though suggestive of
hauteur, was extremely amiable; but one could

Paris. Feb 1.-THE assassination of Grand

every where discussed. The Temps says:
1t is easy to see why Grand Duke Sergius was
marked out as a victim of the revoutionists, as
among all the uncles of the Emperor SeTgtus
had the greatest influence upon him. 1t was
known that the Emperors various liberal ef-
forts were checked by Sergius, who in parucu-
lar recently opposed the appeal of the provin-
cial delegates. The grand duke was unpopular
i'm Moscow, owing to his naughty demeanor and
hard reactionary spirit, although the Grand
Duchess Elizabeth popularity adored. Re-
Gently she warned not to appear with her
husband which meant that his assassination
had been decreed.
1t is significant that the assassins adopted
methods similar to those used in the assassina-

SHIPS PUT OUT OF ACTION
Fort Hunt Opens FusIIlade In Defense

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
FORT HUNT Va. June 13.-The first
gun in the defense of Washington was
fired by one Of the S-inch batteries at
Fort Hunt at OIL O'Clock tonight. The
target was one of the units of Ad-
mlral Dickin's squadron, which ap-
peared to be of the cruiser type. She
had just rounded Marshall point,
about three miles below the fort and
was proceeding slowly UP the river.
That she was an enemy" was indi-
Gated by the signal from one of the
forts 60-inch searchlights. After the
initial fire the shooting became general
and six minutes was taken up by Fort
Washington's 6-inch batteries. Not a
reply came from the warship, and when
the required number of shots from the
fort had been fired to constructively
put the ship out of action the firing
ceased.
A gunboat passed calmly UP stream
during the cessation of the fire from
the forts, and when she reached the
mine field, which is a little below the
fort, the boats were lowered and
manned. A harvest of mines was
quickly gathered, but not before the
rapid-fire guns of the fort, and occa-
sionally an S-inch gun, had scored on
the illuminated target at the closer
ranges. The ship returned the fire.
and her guns sputtered and flashed at
a lively rate for several minutes.
The fort observers could not identify
the ship by name, although she was
thought to be the converted gunboat
Siren or the Hornet. The moon shone
brightly and not a breath Of air was
stirring. Again the fire ceased and the
craft slowly turned and f1oated leisure
ly down stream, leaving the zone of
action at 10:15 o'clock. The approach
of the cruiser was observed first by the
two scout boats of Fort Washington.
At IL o'clock three of Admiral
Dickins' torpedo boats rounded Mar
shall point and made a dash for the
mine fields. They were at once under
the fire of the forts. The three tor
pedo boats were followed in close order
by four monitors and cruiser. The
action began at IL o'clock and lasted
for twenty-five minutes.
The fleet maintained its course to-
ward the national CAPITAL
