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 mobiles 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 man appeared
at the headquarters of the comman-
der of the Kharkov garrison, repre-
senting himself as Lieutenant PoJot-
sky, aide-de-camp of General Sukhom-
linoff, commander of the military dis
trict of Kiev, 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 possession. 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 1t was with full mill
tary honors.
Later, IN the course of correspon-
dence of General Sukhomlinoff, 1t was
discovered the man was on imposter.

STOCK movements
ARE IRREGULAR.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE market
was decidedly feverish during the short
session today and the small net
changes gave no idea of the activity
in the fluctuations or the large volume
of transactions. The opening tone 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
fzing which made the closing tone ir
regular The action of the Reading
stock suggested a professional raid
and 1t was suspected that this was for
the purpose of enabling a large short
interest to cover
There were very heavy absorptions of
st. Paul and the Hartman Pacifics
after the appearance Of the bank state
ment.
A decline of more than 100000 in
the cash reserve of the bank reserves
was much larger than anticipated or
than can be accounted for by the known
movements Of money this week and the
discrepancy In last weeks statement.

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 volleys by squad as they
came. A few yards behind the Grand
Duke was his suite, including General
Zarubaeff. second in command of the
guard corps, adjutants and orderlies,
and several civilians. including Count
ess Nierod.
Suddenly. when the first echelon Of
the attacking force. consisting OF
sharpshooters. was from 400 to 500
yards distant, ball sang high over
head. followed by another and another.
The cry was raised, They are firing
ballr' 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 If the troops always fred
ball during maneuvers, but this is un-
pardonable negligence"

RUSSIAN SOLDIERS
FIRE At DUKE.
Balls WhiZ lover Nicholas
Nicholaievitch During
Maneuvers of Troops
END SHAM BATTLE

~ I, PETERSBURG. Aug. '1i.-GrandI
> Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch,
n J president of the Council OF Ma
tional Defense. narrowly escaped
assassination yesterday afternoon at
the hands OF the Imperial 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 i'm
mediately given and the soldiers Of the
regiment from which the bullets came
were marched back to their quarters
and an investigation begun in the hope
of ascertaining from. the. barrels of tho
rifles which OF the soldiers fired ball
cartridges.
One OF the Grand Dukes aides-de-
camp, who. however, ~ IS not personally
present, advanced the theory that pos
sibly the bullets were fired by accident,
but he considered that beyond doubt
there was plot on the part of a num-
Der of disloyal guardsmen who deliber-
ately planned to take the Grand Dukes
life under cover Of the general blank
cartridge firing
SHOTS NOT ACCIDENTAL.
1T was no more an accident" the
aides de-camp said, than was the fr-
ing of the charge of grape from the sa-
luting battery at the winter palace on
the occasion Of the ceremony of bless
ing the waters of the Neva by the En-
peror year and half ago. The bold
attempt on the Grand Dukes 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 soldiers Of his Imperial Guard"
A correspondent visited the guard
camp at Krasnoye-S today and as
certained 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.
1t was only after long investigation
that it was determined that the ball
cartridges were fred by the First Bat
talon of Sharpshooters, one of the elite
corps of the Russian army. Suspicion
was directed 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 member of the Grand
Ducal escort 1t was learned that the
incident occurred during q movement
of the Ismailovsky Guard and the guard
sharpshooters against a position held
by the Seminovsky Regiment

CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR
IS O. EUGENE FARlSH
Real Estate Dealer Denies knowledge
of Movement in His Behalf, but
Intimates That There Might Be
Something Doing

Petitions in behalf of o. Eugene Far
ish, as a nominee for mayor were in
circulation yesterday.
Mr. Parish last night denied knowl-
edge of the mcve, but he admitted that
he had been approached on the ques-
ton of permitting his name to be used
as a candidate for mayor. He said he
had not given the subject serious con-
sideration, but he admitted something
might be doing before long.
Inquiry among n-partisans resulted
in the statement that the petition was
in no wise connected with the nom
partisan city movement, and the Far
ish petition either is a move to run him
as an independent candidate for mayor
or to boost his candidacy on the
straight Democratic ticket, providing
one is nominated.
Mr.. Parish, who is a member of the
real estate firm of Mines & Parish,
served in the council as a Democrat
from the Third ward.

AFTER FAKE LABOR BUREAUS
Ordinance Providing for License in
All Cases Is Presented to
the Council

A sharp blow was aimed at the fake
la Dor bureaus yesterday by the council
ir an ordinance compelling all labor
employment agencies to take out a
license for the conduct of the business.
which shall be subject to the regulation
Of the police commission.
Representatives of labor unions were
present at the meeting yesterday and
raised protest against the passage of
the ordinance in the form in which it
was presented. They declared that
every labor union in the city main
tanned a free employment bureau
where members of that special craft
and employers were brought together
without the payment of fee by either
side. AS no fee was eXacted they be-
lieVed they should not be compelled to
pay a license fee.
Councilman Smith sided with them
in their contention.
I'VE must find some way to protect
the poor people of this city from the
employment bureau sharpers who take
the last penny from a man looking for
work and then do not provide them
with employment, but we should not
impose tax on free labor bureaus -
said Mr.. Smith. II believe the city at
torney can find some way of exempt
ing the free labor bureaus from this
ordinance"
1t was accordingly referred back to
the city attorney, who will return it
next Monday with such exemptions as
he can make.
