The Journal de 81. Petersburg" which has min

day an investigation OF the charges Of corruption

mirals. The article recognizes the necessity for
the condemnation of Admiral Nebogaton. but main
tans that his trial did not unVetl the multitude OF
proofs OF corruption and criminal negligence which
must be sfted that responsibility be brought
home to the right quarters before the reconstruo-
tton OF the Russian fleet can bo undertaken. The
eccusations are supported by letter OF NJ Brilef

forcing the political heresy trials The Organiza-

Democratic state officials for their loyalty.
The Independence League is also sorely disap-
pointed. It has candidates for positions still un-

Hearst headquarters through the campaign, wants
TO get the second appraisership, and ". A. Robin
son, who chairman Of the local law commit
tee and I. J. ILnaine rivals for the position Of

that ]. D Frost the Republican who now holds
the second appraisership, will continue In office
until Wogan '1earns the ropes"
The appointment of Wogan. following closely

GLYNN IN HOT WATER.
albany Leaguers Send Delegation
to Demand Offices.
[By Telegraph 70 The Trfbuns.l ]

Albany. Dec. 27.-A tempest In a teapot has
been raised here by the list OF appointments an
nounced last night by Martin H Glynn. Con-
troller-elect. The local Independence League
men have been preparing themselves for sew
eral fat places. When they saw that the AL
oany branch drew none, painful surprise gave
way to anger, and to-day they have been call
Ing Mr. Glynn to account. Really there was
a sad mistake in it all. The place hunger OF
the League men caused them to magnify the
importance Of the offices the Controller had at
his disposal until their mouths watered. Right
eous indignation possessed them when they saw
deputyships and tax appraiserships going out Of
town to "Packy'' McCabe's henchmen. DR.
NJ L. Rowe. the Albany County chairman. held
counsel all day with other leaguers. and the
suit was a speedy protest to Mr.. Glynn-
This evening a committee. consisting OF DR..
Rowe. William G. Sheehan and John J. Britt.
called the Controler-elect to present their
demands. They said that Henry s. Kohn. ap-
pointed examiner OF court funds rene
gade Lacquer. controlled by McCabe. They
wanted jobs-good ones. Mr.. Glynn. according
to the gossip tonight, promised that he would
give them two, another appointment court
and trust fund examiner. which pays SS for
each day Of employment, and a stock tax in
spector at 81, 500 year.
Ihe League is to meet tomorrow night to con-
slider the offer. Most of the Democrats here
profess to regard the affair as OF little moment.
but indications are that it may prove to be an
other rift in the lutte of the Hearstites. Some Of
the disaffected are threatening to join hands
with the Driscoll-Gilleran faction of the League
In New York and start a genuine inSurrect1on.
There is a little soreness among the Demo-
Gratis. too. John II. Dugan, for years a close
friend and room mate of Mr.. Glynn's, expected
a place His brother. Patrick c. Dugan. landed
the first deputyship. Friends of John H. are
openly voicing their discomfort.
