OPEN FIRE TOO SOON
cONSPIRAToRS AGAINST GRAND
DUKE NICHOLAS FAIL IN At
TEMPT TO KILL HIM.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 11.-Grand
Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch, presi-
dent of the council of national de-
tense, narrowly escaped assassination
at the hands of the imperial guards in
the guard camp at Krasnoye-Selo. 1t
appears that the grand duke was per-
sonally reviewing, maneuvering and
putting the troops through blank fir
ing practice when he suddenly was
startled by the wasp-like hiss of bull
let's about his head. Fortunately
neither himself nor his horse was
touched. The command to cease fir
ing was Immediately given and the
soldiers of the regiment from which
he bullets came were marched back
to their quarters and an investigation
was begun in the hope of ascertaining
from the barrels of the rifles which
OF the soldiers fired ball cartridges.
Several arrests are understood to have
been made.
Afterwards it was definitely estab-
lished that the shots were fired by the
First battalion of the sharpshooters
of the guard, who advanced in rushes,
while making a sham attack on an
%entrenched position. Fully 100 shots
were fired, but the Impotence of the
conspirators led them to open fire at
such a distance as to Illustrate their
object.
