Mhfd le>own, N. Y, June 15.-An au-

their two sons, was struck by an Erie

st. E1esea6sng, June 1e-Fhs sen
sae1ooal announcement was made
shortly before mShnight that Grand
Duke k11Eis, the high admiral, who is
an uncao Of tDs emperor, end Admiral
Ave2aan, hsad Of the Russian admiral
ty department, had resigned. This an
noancemsnt was followed a few min
utes laosr ~ an Imperial rescript, re-
hevinS tho grand duke of the supreme
direction Of the navy, which he had
held since the days of the emperor's S
father, Alexander III, when Russia re-
solved to enter the lists as firstclass
sea power. hnd to build up a great
navy, the remnants of which were de-
stroyed IN the battle of the Sea Of
japan.
Causes Surprise.
Although from time to time since the
war began there have been rumors
that the grand duke would retire, on
account of the savage criticism, not to
use harsher terms, directed against the
administration of the navy, especially
SAAS S)1Aot1
nouncement Of his resignation came
as a surprise.
The words Of the rescript give no
hint of imperial anger, and the real
explanation probably will not leak out
for several days, but the instant dis
position was to regard the retirement
of Grand Duke Alexis and Admiral
Ovellan as concession to public opin-
ion. following the cIowning tragedy
of the SEA Of Japan. Charges of mis-
anagement and ineRctency and tales
of corruption and even worse against
the marine department have been rife
for years. After the war began they
increased tenfoad, and kately regular
campaign against the department has
been openly conducted by the news-
papers.

side, and the me1ee developed into a
pitched battle. Soon the troops, reen-
forced, began charging the Jews with
swoBds. In sendefepse the Israelites
fired revolvers. Their shots were met
with n1uRtaegous volley from the Rus

troops again invaded the Jewish quar-
ter, sweeping everything before them
and killing defenseless men, women

at noon, Tuesday. when the Jews massed

to the f1imsy, poverty-stricken houses
of the Jews, destroying a whole street
