5- St. Petersburg, June 15. The sensational announcement was S
S made shortly before midnight that Grand Duke Alexis, high admiral 5
and uncle of the Emperor, and Admiral Avellan, head of the Rus- 5
Sian admiralty department, ha,d resigned.
This announcement was followed a few moments later by an im
perial rescript relieving the grai'd 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 a first class
sea power, and to build up k eieat navy, the remnants of which
were destroyed in the battle of the Sea of Japan. ,
Although from' time to time since the war begun there have been
rumors that the Grand Duke would retire on account of the -savage
criticism directed against the administration of the navy, especial
ly in the construction of ships, the announcement of kis resignation
came like a bolt out of the blue sky. It was. not preceded by any
of the rumors which usually give warning of such an act. Conse
quently it was assumed that- some sudden event precipitated it, and
ugly stories are in circulation. t

The- murder of Hiram Smith In the
Lomet saloon wine room on Wednes
day night created a great deal of in
terest and talk in the citv yesterday.
The former was displayed by a crowd
of morbidly curious people who pack
ed the court room of Justice Murphy
yesterday afternoon to hear the pro
ceedings, of the inquest, and by lesser
crowds that hung about the morgue
and jail throughout the day. Those
who gathered about the jail were
mostly in evidence about the time of
the inquest, the notion having gained
currpney tr.2t Coleman, the slayer 01
Smith, would be brought from his cell
to appear before the coroner. He was
not brought out. ana those curious to
have a look at him were disappointed.
Following the inquest, at which the
jury brought -in a verdict placing the
death of Smith upon Coleman, Mrs.
Coleman was admitted to the jail and
had a talk with her husband. He re
ceived the news of the verdict of the
jury from her coolly and without
comment. Later, Attorney Baker,
formerly of this city but now located
at Naco. visited Coleman in his cell
and had a long talk with him. Baker
voluntarily wired Coleman yesterday
that he would take his case. Cole
man accepted the proffer of services,
and Baker came to tla city on the ev
ening train. Baker will be recalled
as the attorney for J. M. Johnson in
the difficulties that were had last
fall in the course o the Johnson
Trenty trouble.
The evidence brought out at the in
quest yesterday failed to uncover an
eye witness to the tragody other titan
Mrs. Coleman. Her evidence will be
of no avail to the prosecution, the law
providing that a wife may not be call

against her husband. The manner of

number of tuberculosis patients.
The plan Is to visit certain sterile
and dustless areas which lie under
perpetual summer sunshine within
the Arctic circle, for the cure of early
cases of the disease. It is contended
that the continuous day of the Arctic
summer, with its healthful and brac

in any other part of the world
for the cure of pulmonary diseases.
The Havana will cruise along the
