who has just returned here after three
months vacation in Paris. was the vic
tim of an outrage by Towdies in one Of
the most fashionable streets of the cap
ital last night and only escaped being
beaten to death through the timely ar
rival Of the police.
Second Secretary Robert Woods Bliss,
OF the American embassy at st. Peters
burg, comes from New York, and was
formerly American consul at Vienna.
Charge D'Affaires Eddy has reported
the affair to the authorities at Wash
ington, but as the incident was a plain
case of rowdyism he probably will not
make official representations at the for
eign office here unless instructed TO
do -.
Set Upon by Two Men.
Mr. Bliss was returning TO the em-
bassy on foot from the Yacht club,
where he had been dining. On the
Horse Guard boulevard, opposite the
barracks OF the Chevalier Guard, the
secretary was suddenl- set upon by
two men. who sprang out of the dark
ness of the trees. Mr. Bliss knocked
down one of his assailants, but was
seized by some sympathiZers OF the
rOWdies, who had been attracted TO the
spot by the disturbance, and he was
getting the worst of it when three
policemen and a house porter came to
Mr.. Bliss rescue and seized his assail-
ants. The rapidly gathering crowd.
however, which promptly sided against
the police, rushed 10 the officers and
rescued the prisoners. The policemen
managed 90 stand off the crowd and
cover the retreat of Mr., Bliss, who was
badly cut about the face, but not seri-
ously injured.
Apology Offered.
Today a police captain visited the
embassy and apolOgiZed for the attack
on Secretary Bliss. but the warned
the members of the embassy that the
streets were very unsafe. especially the
boulevard which is the rendezvous of
rowdies and soldiers and sailors in
civilian clothes. The captain advised
the members of the embassy to go
armed in future and not TO venture in
the streets at night except in carriages.
Charge d'Afaires Eddy this afternoon
sent a note to Count LamsdoTff the for
eign minister, calling his attention to
the assault on Mr.. Bliss, but making
no demands.
