INDEMNITY, OR BATTLE
Japan Insists on Acceptance of Claim
Before Fixing a Truce.
Russia Near Bankruptcy.

New York Sun Special Service. .
Washington, June .16.-The next
step toward peace between Japan and
Russia will be the signing, of a peace
protocol which will provide for an
armistice. The president believes, as
do most Of the diplomats, that this
will follow within few days. It is
intimated, however, from, high Jap
as to truce. It is said that Japan
will not agree to suspend hostilities
the demand for cash Indemnity. If
the unofficial reports from st. Peters
burg, are correct that is, the point on
which the negotiations are likely to
break if they break at all, and it is in
timated that Japan intends to have
that feature disposed Of now, if Rus
STA proposes a, suspension of HOSTILE
ties, rather than to enter into truce
which might do nothing more thar
give Russia rest, during which the
the spirit Of revolt, ana be in much
better shape to continue the war than
1t is now.
Japan now is splendidly situated to
continue the war and she does not pro-
pose to give Russia time to recuperate
unless she is assured that a lasting
peace is to follow. :
Ii a peace protocol is entered into
it probably will be signed in Washing
ton by Minister Takahira and Count
Cassini, the Russian ambassador, or by
Mr.. Jusserand, the French ambassador
acting for Russia. -

ALEXIS AND AVELLAN OUT
Heads Of Russian Admiralty Resign
a- Ugly Rumors Afloat.

st Petersburg, June 16.-The sensa-
tional announcement was made shortly
before midnight that Grand Duke
Alexis, the high admiral, who is an
uncle of the emperor, and Admiral Avel-
Ian, head Of the Russian admiralty de-
partment, had resigned. This announce
ment was followed a, few minutes later
by an imperial rescript relieving the
grand duke of the supreme direction Of
the navy, which he had held from the
days Of the emperor's father, Alexan-
der III, when Russia resolved to enter
the lists as a frst-class sea power. The
announcement came like bolt out Of
that some sudden event precipitated it
and ugly stories Immediately came to
the surface.
Concession to Public Clamor.
! The instant disposition was to re-
gard the retirement Of Grand Duke
Alexis and Admiral Avellan as con-
browning tragedy of the Sea of Japan.
Charges Of mismanagement 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 tenfold, and
lately regular campaign against the
department has been openly conducted
In the newspapers. 1t was felt in quar-
tiers where charges Of corruption were
not entertained that it would be I'M
wise to intrust the building of the navy
to the hands which were responsible
for the hapless fleets of the past.

Grand Duke Alexis himself did not
escape personal attacks, and scandal
was SO busy with his name that he was
several times the subject of public dem
onstrations.
The retirement of Admiral Avellan
has not yet been published. The names
Of Vice Admiral Birileff, who is return
ing from Vladivostok, and Of Vice Ad-
miral Chouknin, commander of the

every church in the city is on street car line. Those who favored the law. declared at the time they secured its passage that they had no desire to per secute the street car men, but they wanted something that they could hold over the car men and prevent their running the cars noisily and rapidly by the churches during services. It is said that of late the car men have paid but little attention to the law.
 Complaints of the ringing. of the street car gongs and of the noisy run ming of cars by the church doors have been frequent. The members of the Dexter. Avenue Church decided that the time had come when the noise should be suppressed during the hours of ser vice.
 During the evening services last night after being annoyed by the cars, members of the church went outside and reported the violation of the law to Patrolman Mitchell. A few minutes later Shealiy and Townsend were ar- rested. They immediately made bond for their appearance before Recorder Arlington this afternoon.
