ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.
Soldiers Fired Bullets Instead of
Blanks in Practice.

Blanks IN PfaCtfCe.
st. Petersburg, Aug 11--Grand
Duke Nicholas Nicnolaevitch, presi-
dent of the Council of National De-
fense, narrowly escaped assassina-
ton Yesterday afternoon at the hands
of the Imperial Guards in the guard
camp at Krasnoyedselo. 1t appears
that the Grand Duke was reviewing
the maneuvering and putting the
troops through blank firing practice,
when he was startled by the wasp
like hiss of bullets about mis- head.
Fortunately neither himself nor his
horse were tonched. The command
to cease firing was Immediately Civ
en-, and the soldiers of the regiment
from which the bullets came were
marched back to thSir quarters. An
investigation was made, and it is
said that several arrests followed.
"It was no more an accident" said
one of the Grand Dukes aides, 'ftnan
was the firing of charge of grape
from the saluting battery at the win
ter palace on the occasion of the
blessing of the waters of the Neva
by the Emperor a year and a half
ago" The bold attempt on the life
of the Grand Duke caused an imme
diate change in the plans of the EN-
peror, who had arranged to go to
that place today.
Fully one hundred shots were fired,
but the impatience of the conspira-
tors led them to open fire at such
distance as to Illustrate their object.
Before the maneuvers began all ball
cartridges were taken from the
troops, the officers searching the car
fridge pouches of the soldiers.

to try by court martial no less than
1000 soldiers and sailors who par

The prospects of the men, however,

OENOUNCE ACTION
OF ROOSEVELT
OBJECT TO DISCHARGE OF
TROOPS
Negroes at Thanksgiving Services
Contribute to Fund for Relief
Of Dismissed African
Soldiers
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 29--At a union
Thanksgiving service, in which the
members of four negro churches of this
city participated today President
Roosevelt was denounced for his action
In dismissing three companies Of negro
soldiers from the United States army.
AT the conclusion of the service,
which was held in the Mount Olivet
Baptist church, nearly every one pres
ent made a contribution to fund
which is being raised for the relief of
the dismissed soldiers. The sermon of
the day was preached by the Rev. w.
II. Brooks, pastor of St. Marks African
Methodist Episcopal church.
In the course of his address Mr..
Brooks said:
ct has been the contention of the
south that the shiftless and ignorant
negro was the one she despised, but the
real south appeared in her true colors
when she took pains to run down, hu-
initiate and outrage the most intelli-
gent, thrifty and upright people Of the
community. This was scarcely over
before the chief magistrate of the ma
tion covered himself with eternal
shame and disgrace by his unjust, un-
kind, undemocratic, un-American and
czarooratic, cold, oruel drastic and in
famous orders against as brave, as
heroic, as self-sacrificing a set of men
as ever wore the blue or bore old
Glory on a field of strife.
I'VE will not be resentful nor venge-
full, but we are bold enough to de-
nounce the act as an outrage and ag-
gressive enough to demand justice at
the high court of earth and before the
bar of Heaven. Let him of the square
deal deal square; him of the fair
play play fair; him of the door of
opportunity not shut it, bolt it forever
in the face of black veterans.
"If a Republican congress refuses to
correct the wrongs thus inflicted every
black man in the south ought to pack
UP his belongings and move to doubt
full state and vote the whole thing out
of existence. 1t is by the ballot and
not by vengeance we shall win"
