Estimate of Hasslaa Loss of Life.
Rough estimates made of the Russian
losses In the battle fought In the Sea of
Japan, exclusive of nearly 4,000 prisoners,
vary from 7,0v0 to 9,000. It Is feared that
the majority .perished. Calculating on the
complements of the sunken and cuptured
ships, 10,000 to f.OOO men remain unaccounted
for. It Is possible- that the ships which
escaped rescued some of the members of
the brews of the less fortunate ships,
llany bodies have been washed ashore on
the Islands und on the shores of tho neigh
boring coasts near the Bcune of the battle.

moment If Count Casslnl, the Russian am
bassador, carries out his Intention of seeing
the president tomorrow. For two duys the
ambassador has planned calling at the

CAT CALLS AT GRADUATING EXERCISES
( barged that He Itefnsea to Associate
with Colored Professors on Terms
of Equality and Also that
He Is Incompetent.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, June 1. (Special Tele
gram. J Rev. John Gordon, president of
Howard university of this city, former
pastor of a leading Tresbyterlan chvrch
of Omaha, Is In a peck of trouble. Chs rccs
are made that Dr. Gordon has refused to
associate on a plane of equality with the
colored professors, Howard university being
an Institution of learning for the higher
education of colored men; that he has
sought to enforce the supremacy ot manual
training and that he has ceased practically
to visit and assist various classes and that
hla usefulness at the university was at
an end. Rev. George White of North
Carolina, former president, headed a com
mittee which waited upon the board of
trustees yesterday to protest against Presi
dent Gordon's continuance as president of
the university. The committee, which Is
made up of many of the leading colored
people of the district, state that Dr. Gor
don Is Incompetent and that his further
continuance In office would be a serious
bar to the success of the Institution.
Tonight the graduating exercises of the
college were held at Convention hall, it
was evident a truce had been patched up,
but It Is thought with the graduation off
the boards, the attack on Dr. Gordon will
break out anew.
Dr. Gordon neither affirms nor denies the
charges made against him, refusing In any
way to discuss the Issues raised.
Last night students of the preparatory
school openly Insulted the president ,and
when the last diploma was Issued Presi
dent Gordon showed his displeasure of the
proceedings, which were marked with cat
calls and hisses, by leaving the hall. Dr.
Gordon refuses to discuss the subject and
It Is thought he Is ready to retire from a
place that has not been congenial to him.

DENIAL BY DENKISOS
(Continued from First Page.)
He took no note from Hlmes, he said. He
swore that he did not retain Cochran In
the Sherclilte case, and that Hooker was
never authorized to net as his agent.
Visit to Penitentiary.
After Hooker had turned him over Sher
cliffe's money, together with the account
book, Dennlson suid ho h.vd made certain
expenditures for tthurcllffe out of Sher-
cliffe'B money.
"Did you visit the Fort Madison peniten
tiary under the name of Brunt?"
"Yes, sir."
"Why did you do that?"
"Because I knew the warden would not
let nie In If he knew I was a gambler."
"Did you register under that name?"
"I don't think 1 registered. I think the

"Did the warden afterward learn who you

"1 understand he did."
"Did you leave Sheicllffe money on the
occasions of these visits."
Yes, sir; at his request and out of his
own money.
"How much money did you leave him In
all."
"I think :90."
"Did you originally keep account of this."
"Yes, but I lost the book."
Council then showed the witness the
financial statement, together with letters
written to Homer Morris and Dennlson said
he had written them and sent them to Mor
ris. The statement was made at the re
quest of Shercliffe, Dennlson swore, so that
ShercliiTe could show it to his mother, who,
he said, would get his older brother to turn
over to him (SherctitTej lis part of his
lather's estate, lie suid the original state

ten for a copy of It, which he wanted to

statement for a basis Dennlson said he

much Importance. Connell then took up the
statement Item by Item.

"Shercliffe said put it In."

"Money sent by mo to Fort Madison in

"I sent money to Fort Madison, but don't

"Did you ever pay John Baldwin $25?"
"No, sir, never paid him a cent In my
life."
"Two trips to Creston to see Hepburn?"
"Know nothing about It."
"Cash to take negroes to Council Bluffs

"Know nothing about It except tmt
Shercliffe told me that Rob Clancy sa'd
he had sent that amount and Shercliffo

"One trip to meet McMillan, $15?"
"Am not sure about that Item."
'One trip myself and Llewelyn to see
McMillan, $26."
"Know nothing of It, Shercliffe sug
gested putting It In."
"Gave Llewelyn $20."
"Know nothing about It."
"Paid cash to help Mercer to get him

"I didn't pay it. I had told Shercliffo
though that I awlays helped In the cam
paigns and that I hnd paid to the cam
paign committee $400."
"Gave McMilan $2,500."
"Tea, sir, I paid that. At that time 1
had 'nbout $1.CO0 of Shercllffe's money and
he nsked me to advance the balance. I
did so with the promise from him that
he would pay me back with the money he
was to get from his father's estate or from
some mining stock he said he had In Col
orado." "When did you flrst suspect Shercliffe
guilty of the Pollock robbery?"
"Not until he made his confession."
"When did you first see that?"
"I. J. Dunn, attorney for Walter Molse,
produced It."
Dennison then denied telling the district
clerk of Harrison county that the parole
of Shercliffe would come to his office
marked personal. Said he went to the
office with Cochran and told the clerk the
parole had been granted and asked that
It be kept 'out of the papers, as some
politicians had so requested him.
He then told of Shercliffe coming to his
home after the parole and of remaining
there six weeks and then robbing him of
three revolvers, a watch and getting $59
from John Dennlson. He said Shercliffe
had Inter written him, saying he was sorry
and offering to fiend back the watch If
Dennlson would send him another; that he
did so, nnd Shercliffe kept both of them.
That then Shercliffe had written him for
the financial statement. These letters he
said had been destroyed.
Afternoon Session,
Because there were a number of witnesses
who desired to got rtufof town, and as their
testimony was to iw short, both the prose
cution and defense asked to have Dennison
leave the stand when court convened after
the noon adjournment, for these men to
testify. It was 3 o'clock when Dennlson
took the stand again.
Connell at once began on the flnanclnl
statement and Dennlson testified that he
hnd given ShercliiTe $100 at Christmas out
of his own money, which, together with the
two revolvers and two watches which ho
snld Shercliffe had 'stolen and the $50 ho
had secured from John Dennlson, made up
the item of $225.
"Cash while out spending money $j0."
"Yes, sir; I gave It to him."
"What about this Item, 'Had $fl,700 with
me.' "
"That Is the amount specified In the ao
count book and the $1,730 I had of his In
cash."
" 'Sherman owes me $S,130.50?' "
"That comes In by adding up the padded
statement and subtracting the other Items
In the book."
"Did Shercliffe ask you to make up this
padded statement?"
"Yes, sir, he did."
Regarding the testimony Dennlson Is al
leged to have given at Logan at Shercllffe's
trial that he had never seen htm before
Dennlson said:
"As well as I can recollect the question
asked me was, 'When hnd you seen Sher
clifTe after leaving Salt Lake?" I answered,
Not until this trial.' "
Dennison' t'ruii-Kia ml nation.
Smith then began thu cross-examination
and kept Dennison on the stand until C
o'clock and is not through with him. Judge
Smith went over the items one by one and
again Dennlson explulned tlieni. His story
was the sumo us 011 his direct examination
except that it was more in detail. He said
he had come back from the Corbett-Sulli-van
light with between $i,tXXi and $C,oiX,
nearly all of which he had tuken there with
him.
"If you had all this money then why did
you borrow money from the Omaha Sav
ings bank to loan to your brother?"
"My brother would have it that way.
He would not take money from me. He
wanted to pay Interest and merely bor
rowed through me. He had done It many
times before."
Dennlson denied that he had Interested
John N. Baldwin in the case of SherclifTe.
It was during this cross-examination that
the attorneys got so mixed up that Judge
Green remarked that they would have to
follow the rules of the court or he would
seo there were less attorneys in the case.
It came about when Smith, reading from
the transcript In the habeas corpus pro
ceedings, asked Dennlson If he had not
said he did not know whether he hud writ
ten the financial statement.
Attorneys Clash.
"Yes, I said that," answered Dennlson,
"but read the rest of It."
Judge Smith started with another ques
tion. "Read the rest of that answer," said
Cochran. "I object to the attorney treat
ing the witness that way. Smith knows
that the witness identified that statement.
It was not In hla hands when he said he
didn't know whether he had written It."
"I'm not taking advantage of the wit
ness," retorted Smith, and by this time
each of the lawyers had chimed In with
a remark. Judge Green then Issued his
manifesto and Smith road the remainder
of the answer, which was that Dennison
said he had written the statement.
Again a red hot discussion was started
when the prosecution asked Dennlson If
he was not in Davenport on the morning
of November I. The defense objectrd and
Judge Smith stated that the defense had
attempted to show that Dennlson was In
Omaha on the 6th. Tth and lh, all of each
day.
"They are Intending to bring a register
here from the Kimball hotel to show Den
nlson was la Davenport tin the lib. If you
allow that this case will last Indefinitely,"
said Cochran.
Dennlson stopped the wrangle by saying
he did not testify that he was In Omaha
all of the th. Dennison swore that he
had not asked Pollock where he was going
on the afternoon of November 4.
Fred Hoye and E. D. Evans, both mem
bers of the city council of Omaha, testified
to the good reputation borne by Dennlson
In Oni4ha for truth and Integrity. When
Evans was on the stand Thomas asked hltn,
after he hnd testified. If lie hud formerly
been In the grocery business:
"How are you making your living?"
"I am a member of the city oouncll."
"That Is a profitable business, Is It?"
"Well. It pays $125 a month."
' How many days has It been paying $125
a month?"
"About thirty days."
Chief llonnhne Testifies.
Chief of Police Donahue, who was the
next witness, not only gave Dennison a
good reputation In Omaha, but in a tilt
with Thomas took quite a fall of him.
"When you say Dennison has a good rep
utation, what do you mean by that?"
"I mean that he has a good reputation
among the best people and business men
In Omaha."
"Oh, yes. Now, what business men or
prominent men have you heard say that
Dennlson had a good reputation? Name
some of them."
"F. E. Nash, general passenger agent of
the Milwaukee and president of the Electric
Light company; Emll Brandies of the Bos
ton store; William Hayden and Joseph Hay
den of Hayden Bros.; W. R. Bennett, John
A. Crelghton, P. C. Heafey and others."
"You knew Tom Dennison was a gamb
ler?" "I knew ho wns connected with a policy
shop which was closed by Instructions
from tho police board."
"Did not the supreme court issue a man
date to you to make you close tho Diamond
gambling rooms?"
"I think it is In evidence that Dennlson
was not connected with the Diamond," was
the answer.
Then Donahue, after saying that because
a man was a gumbler it did not follow that
he wns a bad man. said he had heard of in
stances where men hud broke a gambling
house when It was run on the square.
Tilt with Thomas.
"Did you ever hear of a policy game be
ing broke?" asked Thomas.
"You tried mighty hard to break me."
"I did it, too, didn't I?" retorted Thomas.
"Not much, you didn't. I closed the
game myself on Instructions from tho
board," said Donahue, and continuing, he
said: "Not only that, but I furnished you
with evidence in a number of cases when
you were deputy county attorney, and
"I prosecuted them, too, didn't I?" In
terrupted Thomas.
"And you didn't prosecute a one of them."
finished Donahue.
"The gambler who is on the square and
who takes part In every enterprise to help
the city, who contributes to the poor and
needy nnd whose word Is as good as any
bond, then I say that gambler Is a good
citizen," volunteered Donahue.
"I suppose that is your description of
Dennlson," said Thomas.
"Ttjnt is exactly my Idea of Tom Den
nison." A. B. Hunt said he had had business re
lations with Dennison and that he consid
ered he hnd a good reputation. Mr. Hunt
is superintendent of the Omaha water
works and Is a partner of Dennlson In
owning waste paper boxes on the street
corners of Omnha.
C. N. Wood, a banker of Lognn, was
next called by the prosecution.
"Were you Introduced to Dennlson by
Ed Doyle?" asked the attorney.
The defense objected because Doyle snla
he did not remember whether ho had In
troduced them or not. The court had the
records show that Wood did not appear
In the trial.
"Go get your fees at the expense of
Harrison county," said Eagan ot the de
fense as Wood walked away.
A. L. Mcintosh, who settled in Missouri
Valley in 1856, was called by the prosecu
tion to show that a fence had been on the
ground as described by SherclifTe. The
defense objected to this and the prose
cution refused to call any more witnesses
until defense had concluded.

TEAMSTERS CHARGE BRIBERY
Young and Shea 8aj They Were Offered
$10,000 to Call Oat Drivers.
BOTH TESTIFY BEFORE GRAND JURY
Former Refuse to nme Man W he
Offered Alleard Hrlbe t'ntll
Compelled by Court
to Do Bo.
CHICAGO. June 1. Charges of bribery
against an official of the Employers' Team
ing company were made today by President
Bliua of the Teamsters' union and by Albert
Young, former president of the same or
ganization. Young and Shea claim that
they were offered $10,000 two years ago to
bring about a strike of the teamsters em
ployed by the Sears-Roebuck company,
which Is a rival concern of Montgomery
Ward & Co. They said that they refused
the money and the strike was never called.
Shea was the first witness nnd his testi
mony covered tho offering of the bribe and
his statement that he would not call the
strike "for $100,000."
Albert Young was then called and gave
similar testimony. After leaving the Jury
room Young made statements to newspaper
reporters, going more Into detail than those
he had made before the Jury. He was again
subpoenaed and brought before the Jury a
second time. He refused to tell where the
meeting had taken place, or name the men
who were present when the $10,000 was of
fered. Y'oung declined to give any good reasons
for refusing the Information and was taken
before Judge Rarnes, who was asked for a
ruling on the matter.
Yoonar Forced to Answer.
Assistant State's Attorney Fake Informed
the court of Young's refusal to answer and
the court asked that the questions be re
peated before him. The Judge was Informed
that Young had admitted the presence of
himself and Shea at the meeting, but de
clined to give the name of the business man
who offered the money or of the man who
acted as his agent.
"On what grounds do you decline to an
swer these questions?" demanded the court.
"On the ground that I might incriminate
myself," replied Y'oung.
"Do you honestly believe that by inform
mg tne jury or the place or meeting, as
well as disclosing the Identity of the two
men, that those answers would Incriminate
you?" asked the court.
"Yes, I do," said Young.
The Judge then asked a number of ques
tions and finally decided that Young would
not Incriminate himself and he ordered him
to make answers forthwith.
Young and the members of the grand
Jury then returned to the Jury room and he
was questioned for an hour. He gave the
names of the men offering the money, but
refused, after leaving the Jury room, to
discuss what had taken place.
State's Attorney Healy declared that all
persona connected with the Inquiry had
been sworn to secrecy nnd that nothing of
the proceedings would be revealed.
Other witnesses before the grand Jury
today were the proprietors of several hotels,
who declared that committees from tho
strikers had called upon them and de
manded that they force nonunion men to
leave. Other evidence was given by busi
ness men rel itlng to various meetings held
with the labor lenders, but nothing of Im
portance was developed.
Team Owners Tire of Delay,
Tho Indications tonight are that the Team
Owners' association, which has managed to
keep out of the trouble so far, will soon
become involved in the strike. Tomorrow
morning at 10:30 o'clock a committee rep
resenting this organization "will meet with
a committee representing the Teamsters'
union In Mayor Dunne's office to discuss
the proposition of the teamsters submitting
the question of making deliveries to strike
bound houses. Tho teamsters have all
along been opposed to such a move by the
Team Owners' association, and It Is not
believed they will agree to the suggestion.
The officials of the Team Owners' associa
tion stated tonight that they had become
tired of waiting on the teamsters to some
to a decision in tho matter and that it made
little difference what the teamsters decided
to do, as the association had come to the
conclusion thnt they would make deliveries
to all firms regardless of whether thoy
were Involved In the strike or not. Should
the team owners take this step against the
wishes of the teamsters It will mean a
spread of the strike.
NeROtlatlons In Froarress.
Efforts toward a settlement ot the strike
were made today by the teamsters opening
negotiations with the Individual members
of tho Employers' association. A commit
tee, consisting of three members of the De
partment Store Delivery Drivers' union
was appointed to call upon the State street
merchants.
The terms upon which the committee
was authorized to treat with the employers
appeared to be practically those previously
rejected by the . merchants as a body,
namely, that In event of the raising of the
iKiycott with reference to the members of
the Employers' association the teamsters
niioum not De requireu to deliver to or re
ceive goods from the express companies.
