The Governor said It had been charged
by Senator Martin that no would have

he did not desire to have influence with

GRAND DUKE AND

Gar Opposes His Uncle, Who
Was Head Of Marine De
partlnent,
lRy Associated Press.l


ST. PETERSBURG, June 15--S:20 A. NJ.
A sensational announcement was made
shortly before midnight that Grand Duke
Alexis, the high admiral, who Is an uncle
Of the Emperor, and Admiral Ayellan,
head of the Russian admiralty depart
mcnt, had resigned. This announcement
vas followed a minute later by an i'm
perial rescript relieving the Grand Duke
of the supreme direction of the navy,
which he had held since the days of the
Emperor's father, Alexander III, when
Russia resolved to enter the lists as II
first-class sea power and to build up
great navy, the remnants of which were
destroyed in the battle Of the Sea OF
Jspan.
Although from time to time since the
war hogan there have been rumors that
the Grand Duke would retire on account
Of the savage criticism, not to use harshcr
terms, directed against the adminstra-
ton of the navy, especially in the con-
struction of ships. the announcement of
his resignation came like a bolt but Of
the blue. 1t was not preccded by any of
the rumors which usually give warning
OF such an act. Consequently 1t was as
sumcd that some sudden event precipi-
tated it. and ugly stories Immediately

The words of me rossript give no hint

ton probably will not leak out for sew
eral days. but the instant disposition was
to regard the retirement OF Grand Duke
Alexis and Admiral Avcllan as b con
cession TO public opinion, following the
browning tragedy of the Sea of Japan.
