ST. Petersburg June l6.-The sensation
al announcement was made shortly be-
fore midnight that Grand Duke Alexis,
the high admiral who is an uncle OF
the emperor, and Admiral Avellan, head
OF the Russian Admiralty department
had resigned.
This announcement was followed a few
minutes later by an imperial rescript re-
ieving the grand duke OF the supreme
direction OF the navy. which he had held
since the days of the emperors father,
Alexander III. when Russia resolved 20
enter the lists as a first class sea power
and TO build up a great navy, the rem
nants OF which were destroyed in the
Battle Of the Sea OF Japan.
Although from time 10 time since the
war BEGIN. there have been rumors that
the grand duke would retire on account
OF the adverse criticism, not 10 use harsh
er terms directed against the admins
tration Of the navy especially in the con-
struction OF ships. the announcement OF
his resignation came like a bolt out o.

OF such an act consequently IL was as
sumed that some sudden event precipi-
came 10 the surface.

Alexis and Admiral AYellan as a -conccs-
sion to public opinion following tho
crowning tragedy OF the Sea OF Japan.
Charges OF msmanagement and ineffi-
cheney and tales OF corruption and even
worse against the marine department
have been rife for years
After the war began they increased ten
fold and lately a regular campaign
against the department has been openly
