been able to obtain meager details of the
affair, from which it appears that the grand
duke was personally reviewing, manueVer-
ing and putting the troops through blank
firing practice when he suddenly was
startled by the wasp-like hiss of bullets
about his head Fortunately neither him
self nor his horse was touched.
The command to cease firing was imme-
ddately given and the soldiers of the regi-
ment from which the bullets came were
marched back to their quarters and an IN
vestigation was begun In the hope OF as
certaining from the barrels of the rifles
which of the soldiers fired ball cartridges.
Several arrests are understood to have been
MADE.
One Of the grand dukes aids-de-camp
who however, was not personally present,
advanced to the Associated Press the theory
that possibly the bullets were fired by &C
cident but he considered that beyond
doubt there was a plot on the part OF
number of disloyal guardsmen who deliber-
ately planned to take the grand dukes life
under the cover of the general blank ear
fridge firing.
''It was no more an accident" the aid
de-camp said. than was the firing of the
charge of grape from the saluting battery
at the winter palace on the occasion OF the
ceremony of blessing the waters of the
Neva by the emperor year and ,halI
ago"
The bold attempt on the grand duke s
life caused an immediate change in the
plans of the emperor, who had arranged
to go to Krasnoye-Selo today and spend
week with the soldiers of his imperial
guards.
1t was learned that the troops were IN
extended order and engaged In volley mr.
ing when the accident occurred render
ing 1t difficult to determine the reg ment
from which the bullets came. The grand
duke. surrounded by officers and aids-de-
camp was off on one side, out of the line
of fire.
The affair has created deep impression
In military circles, and is the one topc OF
conversation in the clubs, but the attempt
on the grand dukes life is not generaliy y
known here, no word on the subject having
been published In the newspapers.
Afterward It was definitely established
that the shots were fired by the 1st Bat
talon of the sharpshooters of the guard
who advanced in rushes while making q
sham attack on an intrenched position
Fully hundred shots were fired. but the
! impatience of the conspirators led them tC
open fire at such distance as to frustratt
their object. Before the maneuvers begar
all the ball cartridges were taken from
the troops and the officers had taken the
precaution to make a special examination
of the cartridge pouches of the soldiers
Immediately before the inauguration of tn,

THE BRY ANS IN PARIS
ARRIVED TODAY FOR A FOUR
DAYS VISIT.

PARIS, August 11-William ]. Bryan, ac-
companed by his wife and daughter, Col.
Wetmore and Mr., Mrs. and Miss Dunlap,
arrived here today for a four days visit.
A number Of friends gathered at the rail-
road station and gave the party cordial
greeting On reaching his h0tel Mr.. Bryan
found huge stack Of mail, including many
invitations to dinners and sightseeing ex-
cursions. The party lunched at the Hotel
Ritz as the guests of Ex-Governor David
r. Francis of st. Louis. ~
Mr.. Bryan did not wish to talk about his
candidacy for the presidency of the United
States, saying this had already been
lengthily discussed and that he had moth
ing to add to his previous statements. He
was much interested in the social problems
Of France and the recent enactment Of the
workingmen's pension law and the enforced
weekly day Of rest.
1T appears said Mr.. Bryan, ito be part
Of the democratic development which I
have observed to be going on all over the
world. I noticed 1t in India, Japan and
China. Everywhere one sees the same evil
dence Of popular awakening.
This afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Bryan visit
ed Notre Dame Cathedral and drove along
the Seine to the neighborhood Of the PAN
theon. Tomorrow they will take an auto
mobile ride to the Forest of Fontainebleau.

TIE S1NEWS OF WAR
CHAIRMAN GRIGGS CALLS FOR
ONE DOLLAR SUBSCRIPTIONS.

The democratic congressional campaign
committee is adopting the course begun by
Chairman Sherman Of the republican COM
mittee by calling on all members Of the
party to send in 81 subscriptions to the
campaign fund in which they are in urgent
need.
The committee is sending out a circular
to $4,000 democrats in all parts Of the coun-
try, and the result of this method Of rails
ing money Is watched with unusual inter-
est Many democrats have been inclined to
make light of Chairman Sherman's 81 SUBJ
scriptions, declaring that their purpose has
been merely to draw of attention from
larger contributions from the trusts. But
for several weeks the idea that Mr.. Sher-
mans plan has been proving success has
grown. 1t Is declared that In the past,
when it was known that corporations or
rich men were contributing very ffberally to
campaign funds, the ordinary voter did not
feel inclined to contribute anything more
than his ballot. Many Of them felt that
their contribution was SO small that 1t was
Of no consequence, anyway. Now 1t is said
the word Is being passed about over the
congressional districts that the fund must
be raised in small amounts of 81, and the
responses are more general than they have
ever been before.
In the circular which is being sent out
by Chairman Griggs it is declared that If
the democratlc party ls 70 win Victory
and elect President in 1908 they must
first elect a House Of Representatives this
fall.
"A democratic House." says Mr.. Griggs,
"can and will investigate every department
Of the government. With all of these
honeycombed with graft the edges OF
which Rave been touched by recent ex-
posures and prosecutions, there will be a
revelation of rottenness that will astound
the country and create demand for a
democratic administration to clean the gov
ernment workshop. To win the House
we need money to defray expenses to get
our vote. We have no protected monopolies
from which to fill our Golfers, as they do
those Of the republican party. We must,
therefore, appeal to loyal democrats for
contributions"
He then promises each democrat whe
sends him 81 set Of the campaign htera-
ture that has been compiled by the COM
mittee.

INSURANCE MEN LUCKY
BRITISH COMMITTEE SAYS NO
FUND DEPOSIT NEEDED.

LONDON, August lin view of the
evidence they have heard, the comittee
does not consider that in the interest Of
British policy holders it is desirable to
compel foreign companies to deposit funds
in this country"
Thus the select committee of the house
of lords appointed to inquire into and re-
port on what steps should be taken by the
|. deposit Of funds, or otherwise, to provide
adequate security to the British policy
holders in life insurance companies which
have their chief officers outside of the
united kingdom. but which carry on busi-
ness In this country, sums up it's finding
The committee found an almost unani-
nous opinion among the leading British
actuaries and life Insurance managers
against compelling such measures on the
part Of the foreign companies.
The reasons advanced by the insurance
men are that it would be contrary to the
principles in regard to insurance COM
panies which had hitherto prevailed in
Great Britain; that it would violate the
principle that the whole Of the funds Of
an insurance company should be availa BILE
for the claims Of all policy holders alike;
that 1t might lead to reprisals on the part
OF foreign governments; that it might lead
the public to believe that the solvency Of
the companies making the deposits was
guaranteed by the government; that such
deposits might seem to imply statutory
basis for valuation, the tendency of which
might weaken rather than strengthen the
reserves. and that such deposit of securi-
ties would appear to give an unfair ad-
vantage to British subjects holding poll
cies in a foreign company, while under
such limited state Of supervision it was
doubtful wether the policy holders would
be as we'll protected as they are by con-
trpl through publicity and the freedom
which exists in regard to British COM
panies.

sHoNTs BACK FROM PANAMA.
He Tells Of Conditions on the
Isthmus.

NEW YORK, August lit. p. shonts,
chairman, and Joseph B. Bishop. secretary,
of the Panama canal commission, arrived
here today from Colon on the steamer
Panama. Mr.. IShonts said that general con-
ditions In the canal zone were very favor
able at present and constantly improving.
"An we want" he declared, ."is more
labor and less rain. The labor problem
has been partially solved by the employ
ment OF Spanish workmen. We have also
advertised for Chinese laborers. The death
rate has risen from IL per cent last winter
to per cent at the present time, which is
better showing than at the average labor
camp In this country. Yellow fever has
not appeared in a long time and for nine
days previous to my departure no smallpox
was prevalent.
'It will be some days, however, before we
can be sure that the disease has been en-
tirely eradicated. Out of the thirty-seven
cases which broke out during the recent
epidemic only one death occurred"
Mr.. Shonts said that the engineering
work on the canal was now well under
way.

SULTAN BREAKS PRECEDENT.
Prevented by Illness From Attending
Famous Prayer Service.

CoNSTANTINoPLE, August THE
sultan, who has been ill-for three weeks.
was unable to attend the Selamlik yester-
day. This circumstance is unprecedented,
the sultan never having failed to perform
the Friday prayers during the thirty
years of his reign. Up to the last mo-
ment he hoped that his condition would
allow him to proceed to the mosque, and
the guard was on its way to the palace
when 1t was ordered to return to its bar
racks.
1t is believed that the inability of the
sultan to attend the Selamlik was due to
the extreme painfulness of the trouble
fact that his condition Is grave. Prof
Bergman, the famous German surgeon
has been summoned to attend him, and 1t
is presumed that a slight operation was
necessary.

DEPARTURE IN PERSIA
SHAH GRANTS A PARLIAMENT
BY THE PEOPLE.

TEHERAN. Persia, August 1.-THE shah
finally has granted the demands of the peo-
pie for reforms. and the refugees who
sought the protection of the British lega-
tion with the exception of two hundred who
have personal claims. have left the legation,
and the mullahs who fed from Teheran are
returning.
Illuminations in honor of the new order of
things have been ordered throughout the
country. The reforms. which are announced
in an ukase signed by the shah and made
public today. include the creation of coun-
Gil of state. with consultative rights, to con-
sist of fifty members. partly elected from all
classes. including the clergy, but excluding
the peasants.
The shah. evidently. was forced to take
this action by the powerful combination of
the clergy.
The capital is auieter and the shops are
reoDening.
Effect of Russian Upheaval.
LONDON, August ia Persian official
here, in an interview today said the grant
ing Of a constitution to Persia was one of
the effects Of the Russian upheaval The
pews Of the Russian struggle had long been
the subject Of discussion In the bazaars OF
Persia The economic distress in that coun-
try also played no small part in creating
the desire for some, measure of political
freedom, which the shah had long desired
to grant, but had refrained from so doing
by the advice of the late grand vizier, Ain
Ed Dowleh Since the latter's dismissal
the shah has had the more enlightened
advice of Mushir Ed Dowleh, who is known
for his liberal tendencies.
While the clergy heretofore have opposed
a constitution. both as the direct represen-
tatives Of the prophet and Of the large land
owners, it is believed they will welcome the
formation of a national council, since they
will be largely represented Members Of
the Persian colony in London today sent a
telegram Of congratulation and thanks to
the grand Yizier.
