to greet the little yellow Prince Arlsugawa
and showera him with attentions.
t In view of poaslble demonstrations three
regiments, the Preobregenaky, Ismallovskl

mer camp at Kraanoye Solo (sixteen miles
southwest of St. Petersburg) have been
hurriedly brought back to SI. Peteraburg,
Mar Cause Rerolatlon.
The catastrophe which bas overtaken the
Russian fleet has given great Impetus to the
demand upon Emperor Nicholas for the Im
mediate convocation of a national assembly
without awaiting action upon the report of
the Boullgln rescript commission. With the
single exception of the reactionary Svlet
the press pours out Indignation and wrath
upon, the bureaucracy, which Is held re
sponsible for all the misfortunes of the. war.
Only the Novoatl and the Bourse Gasette,
however, declare that peace should be con
cluded. The Russ, now the widest read
paper In Russia, says: "Those guilty of
Russia's disgrace should be overwhelmed
with shame," and contlnuest
The death of 600,000 men and the loss

tlia serfs and Port Arthur, Mukden and Tsu

of the bureaucracy. ..
Calls on the People.
The Slovo, another popular paprr, is even
more bitter. It says:
Enough T Blindfolded for two years, the
Russian people have been marching- to the
brink of destruction, but ths Dandages are
now torn from the eyes of 13o,Ouo,uoj of Rus
sians and they will neither be led or driven
over the precipice. Let the people spitak.
The bureaucracy has had Its aay and has
crowned Ita work of national shame and
humiliation.' Let It now listen to what
those who have Buffered In silence and who
have supported tt in luxury haye to say.
From this 'moment a convocation of "the
people has become as necessary as the air
wa DreatheWf the bureaucracy stands be
tween ' the emperor and nation let It be
ware. Let It remember the lessons of Rus
sian history the history of the semsky
xobor of 1049. The Japanese are not fight
ing the Russian people, but the Russian
bureaucracy, which has rejected with en
ergy the talent of the nation for a host of
sycophants and time-serving courtiers.
Our only consolation In this hitter hour is
the consciousness that It la not the people,
but the government which has suffered de
teat. , Enough!
The Syn Otetchestva, and Kasha Shlsrh,
two constitutional papers, are equally bit
ter.

of ' rottenness and Insisting that there is
plenty of patriotism, as evidenced by the
fact that more young officers volunteered
to go out with Admiral Rojestvensky than
were needed, nevertheless Joins In the cry
for an Immediate summoning of th people.
"Delay will be fatal," the paper adds.
"All Russia's Intelligence and all Its ability
are needed to meet the advauemg crisis."
The Llstok says:
The war has taught the lesson that edu
cation, good government anu ireedom are
always victorious over ignorance, misrule

I. SO p.,m.-The Admiralty denies ths report
telegraphed to the London Dally Express
that the cruiser Qromobol of tha Vladivos
tok squadron had been Sunk with nearly too
men on, board. A mesage was received
from Captain Brousslkoff, Its commander
last night which It was believed was sent
by wireless telegraph to Vladivostok. Vice
Admiral Skrydloff, who was reported to be
on board ' .the Qromobol Is In St. Peters
burg. The Gromobol sailed out of Vladivo
stok Saturday as soon as Admiral Rojest
vensky was reported to have arrived In the
Stuns of Corea but the Admiralty declines
to say whether the Qromobol wag engaged.
The admiralty had no further news to
communicate this morning. A report of the
battle, however, has been received from the
captain of the Russian transport Corea
now at Wooaung and It Is also understood
that the emperor has received a communi
cation from Japan, probably from Rear
Admiral Nebogatoff or Admiral Rojest
vensky. So far as ascertainable the torpedo boat
destroyer Bravl Is the only other Vessel
belonging to Admiral Rojestvensky' fleet
which has arrived at Vladivostok. The
protected cruisers Zemchug, Aurora and
Oleg are still unaccounted for.
Pitiful scenes coutlnus to be witnessed at
the admiralty, where the families of offi
cers and sailors continue to appear and
ask for news from their missing relatives.
The families ot many of those who were
on board ships reported to have been Sunk
are having requiem masses celebrated for
the repose of the souls of the dead.
Russian Captain Tells of Fight.
LONDON. June l.-The Dally Mall's Tokla
correspondent says that the captain of the
Russian cruiser Admiral Kakhlmoff, who Is
now a prisoner, relates the following story
of the battle between the Japanese and
Russian fleets:
We first saw the Japanese at 8 o'clock
In the morning of May 17, when suddenly
and unexpectedly we encountered the
enemy's lieet as we were moving to the
eust of Tsu Island. They steamed toward
us and opened fire: Only ninety minutes
after the tiring began a sudden shock was
felt under the Admiral Nakhlmoff and It
began to sink with great rapidity. My be
lief is that It either struck a mine or a
toroedo. Mv crew numbered 800 men.
frnajortty of whom went down In the ship
as there wa no time to get the . men on
deck. ,
Myself and a number of survivors, aided
by (ire belts, swam to a small launch and
about 10 o clock in the morning we went
aboard a fisher boat. All ot the officers
were sent to Shlmonosekl.
In the engagement fought off Llancourt
Rocks the Russian .battleships Were sur
rounded by Japanese shirs which circled
about them, pouring In a terrible Are, and
they almost Immediately fell Into hopeless
confusion. Seeing their plight Vice Ad
miral Togo signalled from the battleship
MiKHsa a oemana to Know wnetner tne
Russians were ready to surrender. Our
ships complied with the demand.
Other accounts of the battle describe the
roar of the cannonade as so terrible that
houses were shaken at Yamaguchl, twenty
eight miles distant, and the people sup
posed tt was an earthquake.
The Japanese fleet suffered little. The
battleship Asahi was oft nest hit and suf
fered the heaviest loss, but did not quit
the firing line.
Rnastaas Lacked Discipline.

ers of colters which had been supplying
Rojestvensky. s fleet with coal when at

but disinclined for work.
trodueed him to Shercllffe as Joe Shrlverj
that the three went to a room together and
that Shercllffe proposed that he leave the
country and then for Wetmore to tell Wal
ter Molse that he knew a man who could
find him. Wetmore was to name Sherry
and If Molse put up anywhere from $3,000
to $6,000 Sherry was to come to Toronto and
get Shercllffe and bring him back to testify.
If Tom Dennison would give more money
Shercllffe was not to come back. His story
corroborated that ot Wetmore and flatly
contradicted that Of Shercllffe, who said
he had not been In a room with the two.
On cross-examination Thomas asked:
"Aren't you a close political friend of
Tom Dennison?"
'Not any more than I am of yours, Mr.
Thomas," was the answer.
"Don't you know that he Is a gambler."
' "I never saw him gamble."
"Did not your office tip It off to Dennison
when his policy shop was to be raided?"
"The tip came from your office, so your
man Guhsolus swore," answered Sherry and
the Jury smiled.
During this time Connell was making
frequent objections and when he Anally got
hold of the witness he asked:
- "Wasn't Thomas deputy county attorney
during this time."
"For about three years."
"Did he file a complaint against Tom
Dennison?"
"No sir."
Attorneys Clash.
When Thomas asked the witness If he
had not acted as bodyguard for Tom Denni
son after the supreme court had issued a
mandate for the sheriff to put him in Jail
and the sheriff had refused, Connell ob
jected and then added:
"I will let that go In If you will introduce
your Chicago speech about the crime of two
States." Thomas said he was willing, and
then the two exchanged a few personal
remarks.
It was brought out In these personal re
marks that Tom Dennison wanted to come
to Iowa tor trial at once, without going
through the habeas corpus proceedings,
but that Connell advised him not to.
' Frank Williams, proprietor ot a mes
senger service in Omaha, said he worked
for Dennison from 189 for about six years.
He testified that during December, 1900,
Shercllffe came to the office ot Dennison
and In the presence of Patsy Grant and
John Dennison asked Tom Dennison to
make out an account of what he owed
Dennison, so he could show It to bis mother
In order to get her to pay him his share
of his father's estate. A number of the
items, the witness said, Dennison objected
to, but that Shercllffe said to put them in
anyhow to swell the bill. What purported
to be the original statement was shown
Williams and he said it looked - like the
one Dennison had made out and had given
to Shercllffe. After Williams had ooncluded
his testimony court adjourned for noon.

custody Wednesday morning, on motion of
Deputy County Attorney Poster. Tha rea

there waa not sufficient evidence at hand
to warrant eonvtoUoa.
Afternoon Session.
The large crowd which had waited pa
tiently throughout the day to hear the de
fendant called to the stand was rewarded
for their patience about i o'clock when At
torney Connell called Dennison to testify,
He woe only fairly started when court ad
journed. Connell questioned tennlson
about' his early life and down to the time
of tha Pollock robbery. In answer to ques
tions this information was obtained as to
Dennlsoh's life and habits. He was born
in Delaware county, Ia., on a farm, in
I860; removed with his parents to Dakota
county. Neb., where they settled on a farm.
There he remained until 1873, working on
the farm: then to Ottawa, Ia., where he
worked on the farm of John Murphy a
year; then to Delaware county, where again
he Was employed on a farm.' In succession
he then worked on farms in Sac county
and Hamburg until 1879, when he went to
Leadvllle. In the fall of '79 and '80 the
witness said .he prospected for sliver.
Then he Went to New Mexico and then
back to Kokomo, Colo., where he worked in
a mine until the spring ot 1882, when he
again went to Leadvllle. There he worked
In the Ruby mine until 1888.
"Then What did you do?" asked Connell,
"I went to work as a floor walker ot
manager In the 'Old Texas' gambling
house." In the fall of '86 Dennison testified
he bought a fourth Interest in the place:
In '96, sold his Interest and went to the
"Opera House" gambling plaoa. Then to
Denver, where he bought an Interest In
the "Arcade" with Charlie Pierce, which
be retained until some time In '87, when he
sold out and went back to Leadvllle as boss
of the Old Texas. Then the witness testi
fied he operated gambling houses in Aspen,
Col., .Butte and Ogden, until 1890, when
he went to Omaha. He then went to
Helena, remained there awhile, then to
Salt Lake, and In 189$ he came to Omaha,
where he has since lived. He was aiar-
rled to Ada Provost of Mills county, Ia.,
In 1891
rirat Meeting; with Shercllffe.
Coming down to the real interesting part
of the case the witness In answer to ques
tions, said he first met Shercllffe in Salt
Lake In 1892, while he (Dennison) was work
ing In a gambling house.' He said he knew
Shercllffe as a gambler and not as a high
wayman.
"When waa the next time you saw him?'
"At his trial In Logan."
"Did you know anything of his arrsst
before that time?"
"No, sir. Not until Hooker came to me
1th tetters from James Marshall and
Bat Masterson. - At that time Hooker was
on his way to Logan to see If the man ar
rested was Shercllffe."
"Did ycu go with him?"
"No, sir. I was summoned as a witness.
t went over during the trial and before J
testified, court adjourned for a couple ot
day for soms reason, and I then made a
second trip. I left tor home the afternoon
I testified."
"Up to that time had you taken any In-
tereat In Shercllffe?"
"No sir."
"Had you spent a dollar In his defense?"
"No air."
"Did you expend thla4 Item $83,076 in this
statement?"
"No sir."
"Did you expend the Hem $6,174.60?"
"No si.-."
"Up to this time had you any money be
longing to SherclllTs or that be had any
"No sir."
Aaeoaat with Shercllffe.
"When was the first time you received
any money, belonging to Shercllffe?"
"September tt, 18S$, from M. P. Hooker,
$lt).b0.';
"Dennison than Identified the receipt in
the Hooker aooount book aa being his
writing. He told then that ha went to
ft. Louis in the spring and asked Hooker
U be rememoerea nis account witn aner
cliffs and it he had kept the book. Hooker
had then, he said, dug 'down in a trunk
and found tha book.
"Whan Hooker turned over to ma the
tVM," the witness said, "he gave me
duplicate copy or book containing tha ac-
coun. he bad with SherolltTe. He told me
that he had seen Shercllffe and that they
wanted me to act as bsnker for Shercllffe.
I wrote one item in the book and then put
It In my safe, where It has remained ever
since."
The Item Dennison .wrote reads;
September II. Hat-en hand of Frank
Shercllffe a money $1.73090.
Did you aak Rd Doyle whether he had
written the Items in the new book."
Yea sir. I went to 'Hamburg, la., and
saw him."
Hs then said he first, went to Attorney
Cochran, who told him that Ed Doyle had
done the copying.
Connell then got back Into Dennison s
career, and Dennison testified tnat ne
opened up a policy shop In Omaha In 193
and ran It for about nine years.
'When did you stop running your policy
shop?"
In 1901."
"Have you In any way been connected
Ith gambling since that time?"
"No sir."
"Where were you at tha time this Indict
ment Waa returned against you?" 1
"At my home, 1607 Yates street."
"What Were you doing there?"
"I had been sick for ajx weeks with an
abcesa behind my right car."
At this ths proseoution began to object,
and Connell said he just wanted to explain
to the prosecution why It was Dennison
had not run over to Iowa as soon aa they
expected him to. . . , . .
Hpoke la Recalled.
Previous to calling Dennison to the stand
the prosecution recalled .Hooker, the al
leged banker of Shercllffe, to question him
regarding a letter which he had written to
Attorney Cochran' during the Shercllffe
trUl. The letter which the prosecution
Introduced as the substance ot the one said
to have been written by Hooker was to the
effect that Hooker had spent $700 on his
trip to Logan in behalf ot Shercllffe; that
the money was his and that the "boys"
had failed to come up aa they aald they
would, consequently financial matters were
tight, and he objected to the employment
of another attorney If It was to cost any
more money.
"Who were you talking ot employing?"
"Tom Patterson of Colorado," was the
answer.
"Did you write that letter?"
"I may have written something like that."
"In that letter you say the money you
pent was your own and in your testimony
you said It belonged to Shercllffe."
"Yes It belonged to Shercllffe."
"When were you telling th truth?"
"I told the truth when I testified, and I
wasn't lying when I wrote the letter. Mr.
Cochran and I exchanged several letters
and we had discussed something about em
ploying Tom Patterson. I had paid Coch
ran $6o0 and had put up $1,000 more, and I
thought that waa enough. 1 wrote what
did so he wouldn't Insist on getting more
money. That s ull there is to that, and
don't think that lying one bit. He wanted
to get another attorney, and I didn't want
to go any stronger."
The prosecution then tried to mix up the
witness by asking him about the bank In
which he put the $1,000 for Cochran.
'I put up the money with A. L. Harvey,
banker, who waa & witness to my con
tract with Cochran. When the case was
ended we went to Cochran's office and he
gave me back the $1,000."
Harvey has since died, the witness said
he understood.
"Do you mean .to say, Mr. Hooker," said
Beeson, who was doing the questioning,
'that gamblers frequently deposited money
with you?" '.'"'..
Sure thej did."
'How much have, you had at any one
time?" ; '. i'l'
"Oh, between $60,800 and $76,000." '
"Tell them whd deposited that with you,"
interrupted Cochran.;
"Dan Stewart of Dallas."
Joe Stebbiits of Missouri Valley waa called
to Identify p'ntures of the Dunkard church
In the rear fs which Shercllffe claims to
have buried the diamonds. He had lived In
the town seventeen years ago and then re
moved away for some years and for the
last seven years had been living In a house
next to the church; ' He did riot remember
that there had beenjSuch a fence as testi
fied to by Bhercllrte In the rear of the
church. He was later called back by the
prosecution and. said he had seen some
posts broken off east of the church and a
wire fastened to a couple of trees In the
rear.
. Why Money Was Borrowed.
John Dennison corroborated the tastl
mOny of Frank Williams about 8 herd Iff a
asking for the financial statement and aald
he witnessed Tom Dennison when he wrote
it out and gave It to Shercllffe. This was
what Is claimed to be the original state
ment made on a piece of wrapping paper
In the policy shop. 'On cross-examination
he said Shercllffe had suggested many of
the Items, while Dennison had put In others
and that Shercllffe wanted the statement to
show as big as possible. He denied that
Shercllffe had ever visited at his home or
had been there to see Tom Dennison. Re
gardlng) the money Tom Dennison had bor
rowed from the Omaha Savings bank he
said Tom Dennison had borrowed the
money to loan to Jim Dennison, who was
then a cattle buyer In Oklahoma.
For three or four nights after the rob
bery he aald he had bn with Tom Dennl
tfon at the Arcade hotel at the former'! re
quest and that at that time Tom Dennison
had told him that the police were watching
him. The cross-examination failed to shake
him.
Robert Fleming of Superior, Wis., a land
agent for a railroad, . testified that at the
time of the robbery lie was a passenger on
the train and that the robber had called
seven or eight times for Pollock's money
and had not mentioned diamonds. He lived
at Missouri Valley, he said, and had come
to Omaha the following Monday and went
back on the same train upon which the
robbery occurred and that Dennison waa
not on the train. He swore that he was In
Omaha for several days In succession and
that he had seen and talked with Dennison
upon each occasion and knew he could not
have gone to Missouri Valley at that time.
BONAPARTE FOR SECRETARY
Baltimore f oblloiit to Bncoeed Moiton in
Nary Department July 1.
PRESIDENT'S SELECTION CAUSES SURPRISE
Mr. Mortoa Will Become Prealdent
of New Snbway Mall road Com
pany at Sew
York.
WASHINGTON, May 31. Prealdent
Roosevelt today authorised the announce
ment that Charles J. Bonaparte of Balti
more, Md., would be appointed secretary
of the navy to succeed Paul Morton, who
earlier In tha day stated he would retire
July 1 to go to New York to take charge
of the plans for the construction of the
subway system for operation In connection
with the surface lines. The president said
that no. other changes In the personnel
of the' cabinet were likely. Secretary Shaw
has already Indicated his Intention of re
tiring from the cabinet, probably next
February. Rumors of the retirement of
Attorney General Moody have been pub
lished, but tt Is understood to be his In
tention to continue In the cabinet for a
year and a half and perhaps longer.
Bonaparte's Selection a Surprise.
To all President Roosevelt's closest ad
visers the selection of Mr. Bonaparte as
the head of the Navy department came as
a distinct surprise, although it had been
determined on by the president for some
time In anticipation of Mr. ' Morton's re
tirement. In all the gossip Mr. llonaparte
has not been suggested as Mr. Morton's
poaslble Successor. For many years Mr.
Bonaparte haa been an Intimate friend ot
tha president. So great is President Roose
velt's confidence In htm that on many mat
ters of national concern he has sought his
advice. To determine accurately tbe legal i
phases of the postal frauds, the president
designated Mr. Bonaparte and Holmes Con
rad to Investigate the subject, and on their
report he took decisive action without hes
itation. Eminent as a lawyer and as a publicist
and a constant advocate of civil service
reform. Mr. Bonaparte has not been sup
posed to have more than an academic in
terest In the navy. In the upbuilding of
the navy he la known to be In perfect ac
cord with the president and doubtless will
carry Into effect the views of Mr. Roose
velt In the strengthening ot the naval es
tablishment. Morton Goes to New York.
Mr, Morton's announcement of his ex
pected retirement followed a conference
with the president lasting about an hour.
It had beeh stated with authority that Mr.
Morton would retire July 1, provided the
president would accept his resignation
from that date, and today's statement.
therefore, officially confirms what has
been known for several weeks. When he
retires he will have rounded out exactly

In relation thereto he said:
The president tendered me tha nonltlnn

decided it was my duty to accept, 1 had no
reason to think previously that he had my
name under consideration for this office. It
Is needless for me to sav that I a nnr.
elated very highly the great and unexpected
compnmeni implied in nis oner. Meverthe
less, I did not accept without much hesita
tion, ror l have always been very reluctant
to enter public life. There Is nothlna- more
to be said, except that I will try to do mv
duty and hope to make a creditable record.

MONEY FOR DR. PETER BRAUN
Remittance May Come from South
America for Former Omahan
When He Is Located.
Maximo Jentach ot Ascuncion, Paraguay,
South America, sent a letter clear to Her-J
man C. Bchults, first assistant city cleric
of Milwaukee and secretary ot the Cosmo
politan Correspondence club, asking for
certain Information concerning Dr. Petor
Braun, who ia said to be the leader of a
"theosophical colony" in Kansas. The let
ter was forwarded to Mudlavla, Ind., where
Mr. Schults Is recuperating, and aa Dr.
Braun'S address was given as 1409 North
Twentieth street, Omaha, Mr. Schults
passed it on to W. H. Elbourn, city clerk
of Omaha. Mr. Elbourn showed the let
ter to a reporter for The Bee. who, know
ing there are more religious cults In the
world than there are hairs In most heads,
and each one Interesting, went to 1409
North Twentieth street. He was told that
Dr. Braun had moved south In the winter,
presumably to start his colony, for which
Mr. Jehtsch says land was provided. In
the - directory the doctor Is listed as a
publisher, but the tenants at his old ad
dress knew nothing about him or his voca
tion. Tha South American was anxious to
know If It were safe to send money to Dr.
Braun, and seemed to think highly both
ot the doctor and his plans.
