sHAKEUP IS ON
IN RUSSIAN navy
Grand Duke Alexis, Cars
Uncle, Offers Resig-
nation.
REsCRIPT FOLLOWS ACTION
Relieves Grand Duke Of Supreme
Direction Of Navy-Admiral Avellan,
Head Of Russian Admiralty Depart
ment, Follows Chief Into Oblivion

London, June 16.-According to a
dispatch from st. Petersburg, Grand
Duke Alexis retains all his other
offices and dignities, including his po-
sition as aide-camp to the emperor.
St. Petersburg, June 16.-The SEN
sational announcement was made
shortly before midnight that Grand
Duke Alexis, the high admiral, who
is an uncle of the emperor, and adj
miral Avellan, head of the Russian
admiralty department, had resigned.
This announcement was followed
few minutes later by an imperial re-
script 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 first class sea power, and
to build up great navy, the rem
nants of which were destroyed in the
battle of the sea of Japan.
Although from time to time since
the war began there have been rum
ors that the grand duke would re-
tire on account of the savage criti-
cism. not to use harsh terms, directed
against the administration of the
navy, especially in the construction
of ships, the announcement of his
resignation came like a bolt out of
the blue. 1t was not preceded by
any of the rumors which usually give
warning of such act, consequently it
was assumed that some sudden event
precipitated it and ugly stories in
mediatcly came to the surface.
Among those sojourning late in the
cafes and hotels, the editorial in he
Nasha Shisn yesterday morning de-
handing an accounting Of the ropu-
lar fund subscribed for the rebuild
ing of the navy and declaring that
great names are no longer guaran
tees was instantly recalled.
The words of the rescript give no
hint Of the imperial anger and the real
explanation probably will not leak
for several days, but the instant dis
position was to regard the retirement
of Grand Duke Alexis and Admiral
Avellan as concession to public
opinion, following the browning trag
ely of the sea of Japan.

DEMAND NATIONAL ASSEMBLY
Russian Liberal Newspapers Repeat
Their Demands for Same.

Their Demands for Same.
ST. Petersburg. June 16.-The liber-
al newspapers are taking the decision
of the government to make peace if
terms possible of acceptance are Of
fered as surrender and are follow
ing up their advantage by redoubling
their demands for a representative as
sembly, arguing that the bureaucracy
which has proved it's incompetence
to make war successfully is usually
incapable of including creditable
peace. The Russ, now the leader of
the cOnstitutionalist papers, declares
that the government without the peo-
pies support is impotent to continue
the war and will be compelled to ac-
cept any terms. Only a national as
sembly, it insists, can now save the
situation because only with the sane
ton of the people can exorbitant con-
ditions be successfully resisted.
The Russ adds: 1.-The mere men,
ton of peace has aroused the people
who profoundly distrust the govern
ments ability to cope with the prob
lem by mail and telegraph. The CON-
mittee Of ministers is flooded with
petitions for the assembly of a zem-
skysober to pass upon the peace
terms. All decent classes of society
are unanimously of the opinion that
we must begin the history of new
Russia-Russia for the people"
Even the reactionary Sviet is car
ried off its feet by the tide and joins
in the chorus asking for a zemsky-so-
hCr Tho Sviot bowovar dooc not
ask for a Zemshy-sobor in order to
make peace but to secure the support
Of the people to continue the war.

POLK OUTLINES POLICY.
Shows Use OF interurbans In Farm
Development.

| Shows Use OF tnterurpdnS IN Farm
Development.
Des Moines, June 13.-President II.
H. Polk of the Interurban Railway
company, in a paper before the Iowa
Railway club last evening, showed
that as yet the possibilities tor
freight business along interurban
lines were but little appreciated and
developed. From statistics he proved
that of the earnings of the interur'
ban roads in the United States VI
per cent was from passenger franc,
Sc per cent freight ana express, and
the remaining per cent from electric
light and power service along the
line.
- President Polk then compared
these figures with the earnings of
steam roads. showing that 70 per
cent of their earnings was from
freight business, while but 80 per
cent was from passenger business.
While he did not maintain that the
same relative proportion between
the two classes of business would
exist in the two different kinds or
transportation, yet he pointed out
the possibilities of the freight busl-
ness for interurbans which as yet
have been so little developed. He
also called attention to the fact that
the interurban roads being built in
the west are as rule superior to the
interurbans of the east in better
road beds and trackage.
ut should be the policy OF all IN
terurban roads to put in side tracks,
stockyards, and loading chutes wher-
ever it is shown they will be used.
A shipper does not then have to drive
his stock several miles to reach
stockyard and saves the resulting
shrinkage and has his choice of the
steam railways in the large terminal
cities. thus enabling him to obtain
the lowest rate and the shortest
route.
The farmer cannot afford to take
his team. away from the field in Or
der to haul his garden truck to mar
ket so he feeds it to the hogs or al
lows it to go to waste enough to pay
his taxes each year.

Gas AND WAFER
IS ONE As NECESSARY A. THE
OTHER7
Citizens Of Large Cities Gay II 10.

New York, June 13.--In the recent
agitation here about the price or gas.
the demand for lower rates was sup
ported by the argument that every
resident Is as dependent upon sup
ply of gas as upon supply OF good
water. ...
1t has come to pass that the day
laborer uses gas as his only fuel fo'
cooking, because of economy, and the
rich man uses gas on account OF It's
convenience. Gas for lighting, with
modern improvements in burners, Is
cheaper, better and more satisfactory
than any other kind Of light. Gas
sells at $1.00 per thousand cubic feet
in large cities and from that to as
high as $500 in smaller towns.
The consumer of gas in the country
uses Acetylene pronounced a-set.a-
lene), and each user makes his own
gas and is independent Of Gas and
Electric Companies. Acetylene Is a
more perfect illuminant than the gas
sold by the big gas companies in the
cities, and the cost to the smallest
user is about the equivalent Of city
gas at IS cents per thousand.
Acetylene is the modern artificial
light, the latest addition to the many
Inventions that have become daily
necessities.
The light from an acetylene flame
Ia soft, steady and brilliant. and in
quality is only rivaled by the suns
rays. II water and solid material
known as Calcium Carbide are
brought into contact, the Immediate
result is the making of this wonder
ful gas. The generation Of acetylene
Is SO simple that experience or even
apparatus is not necessary to make
it. If it is desired to make it for prac-
teal lighting, and to keep it for i'm
mediate use, then small machine
called an "Acetylene Generator" is
employed There are many response.
BILE concerns making acetylene gener.
ators. In practice, this gas is dis
trbuted in small pipes throughout
buildings, grounds, or entire cities
and towns, in the same manner as
ordinary city gas. Acetylene is the
only satisfactory means Of lighting
isolated buildings located in the coun
try or suburbs at a distance from city
gas or electric plants.

a Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now
Rejoices in Perfect Freedom from
Miseries of Indigestion.
Thousands of sufferers know that the
reason why they are irritable and de.
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be.
cause their food does not digest, but how
to get rid of the difficulty is the pnzzling
question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges-
tive organs, and strength comes from
supply of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr.. Baysson took DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for the cure of indigestion.
They have been my best DOCTOR" he
says. :" was suffering from dyspepsia.
The pains i'll my stomach after meals
were almost unbearable. My sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
sallow. AS the result of using eight
boxes of DR.. Williams Pink Pills, about
the merits of which I learned from
friends in. France, have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure i'll eating"
A very simple story, but if it had not
been for DR.. Williams Pink Pills it
might have been tragic one. When dis.
comfort begins with eating, fills up the
intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure in living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely question of time.
Mr.. Joseph Baysson is native OF
Aix-les- Bains, France, but now resides
at No. 2439 Larllin street, San Francisco,
Gal. He is one of great number who
can testify to the remarkable efficacy OF
DR.. Williams Pink Pills in the treatment
ot obstinate disorders of the stomach.
If you would get rid of nausea, pain or
burning in the stomach, vertigo, her.
vousness, insomnia, or any of the other
miseries of dyspeptic, get rid of the
weakness of the digestive organs by the
use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills. They
are sold by druggists everywhere.
Proper diet is, of course, great aid in
forwarding recovery once begun, and a
little book, "What to Eat and How to
