MUkoEN LOSSES SUMMED UP
Russians Claim Original Estimates
Were Much Exaggerated

GUNSHU PASS, Manchuria, April
2J.-An exact statement of the losses
IN all categores in the battle of Muk-
den from February 1st to March 18th
compiled by the general staff, shows
that the casualties were greatly over
stated in earlier reports. Statements
from Chinese sources indicating whole
sale captures of prisoners. enormous
booty and cannon are now denied. In
reality il appears, the Russian losses
amounted to two generals. who were
taken prisoners, and S7.777 men, Of
whom the greatest part, about $4,000,
were wounded.
In evacuating Mukden and retreating
to the northward the Russians lost
thirty-two guns of which three were
mortar-fire guns. The siege artillery
guns and all the ammunition carts were
sent north two days before the retreat
began.
General karkevitch, the chief of staff,
calculates that other losses, aside from
wounded. were as follows: $1,000 killed,
1000 to 5000 known to have been cap
tured and 10000 to 10000 missing, of
whom several thousand We're drivers.

ployes and other non -combatants.
A very large number We're slightly
wounded and returned to the ranks.
many even resorting to deception in or
der to leave the hospital. This would
indicate that the extent of the jap
anese victory and the disorder of the
Russian retreat has been exaggerated,
that the spirit of the Russian army is
still sti ong and the troops are not de-
nr1ra'ized.

THE TRANSVAAL
DRAFT OF NEW INSTRUMENT

NO SELF GOVERNMENT YET
Colonial Secretary Littleton Declares
the Time Is Not Yet Ripe for
Entire Autonomy for the
Burghers
BY Associated Press.

! LONDON. April 25.-The draft Of the
new Transvaal constitution was issued
today 1t provides for a progressive
assembly consisting of lieutenan;
governor, sixty-nine official members
and thirty to thirty-fvs elected men:
bers. Every burgher of the late South
African republic is entitled to vote for
members of the first volksraad, as we'll

not less than $50 or having capital to
the value of $500, unless convicted Of

pardon.
A commission will divide the Trans
vaal into electoral districts The de-
bates in the assembly will be carried
on in English, but the president of the
volksraad may permit member to
use the Dutch language. Financial
measures must be recommended to the
assembly by the governor. and no part
of the revenue may be appropriated
without his authority. In a communi-
cation to the lieutenant governor
Colonial Secretary Littleton says that
the time is not yet ripe to grant full
self government The matter involves
party government and this in the Trans
vail will become more practicable when
the two races have acted longer to-

bitter memories have been softened by
time.
In regard to the colored population
not being directly represented in the

special disability or restriction must
have the sanction of the home govern

constitutional changes cannot be ex-

SCHWAB MADE MUCH OF
BY RUSSIAN OFFICIALS
Confers With Grand Duke Alexis
Relative to Naval Program and
Is Well Satisfied

by Associated Press
ST PETERSBURG, April 25.-Charles
NJ. Schwab seems to be making a big
impression here. His reputation as a
steel expert preceded him and he is
pelng shown much attention. Grand
Duke Alexis has discussed with him for
several hours matters relating to Rus
sia's naval program which. as tenta-
lively elaborated by the technical com.
mittee, involves the expenditure of
$3.50, 100000 during a period of ten years.
Mr.. Schwab has also conferred with
Admiral Doubasoff. head of the tech
nical committee, and other prominent
naval officers.
The war has convinced Russia that
sea power is vital, and everywhere Mr..
Schwab has encountered nothing but
firm intention TO build up the navy to A
size commensurate with Russias aspir-
ations for the future.
In general way it is believed that
certain arrangements touching Ameri-
cas- share i'm the construction that will
go to foreign yards have been already
acceded to in principle. Details, how
ever, require some time to work out.
Mr. Schwab appears to be entirely sat
isfied with the result of his visit and
negotiations have made such rapid
progress that he expects to be able to
leave within a few days.

NEW YORK, April 25.--Perhaps the
most interesting development in tho

O'Halon took the witness stand for the
prosecution and said in reply to ques-

that Young had committed suicide.
DR.. o'Hanlon performed the autopsy
on Young's body. In his testimony
today he said:
MY present opinion is not the opin-
ion l formerly expressed to Coroner
Brown"
He did not know of the relations of
Young and the defendant at the time
the report was made, he said. In reply
to Mr. Levy, however, he admitted that
he had expressed the opinion that it
was a case of suicide even after he had
heard the facts of the relations be-
tween Miss Patterson and Young. lie

by black spots on the inside of the
dead mans fingers which he believed
to be powder stains.
This testimony came at the close of

When court opened, Miss Patterson ap-

dress. in direct contrast to the mourn
ing costume which she had worn dur

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, April 25.-Con'
fdence has again been restored in bank
ing institutions of Milwaukee and thu
run on the First National bank and the
Milwaukee Trust company. caused by
the defalcation of Frank G. Bigelow |:
a thing of the past.
Before the hour for opening the banks
had arrived meeting Of the milwaukee,
Clearing House association was held
and a committee of that institution
after examining the assets and col
lateral of the First National bank. is.
sued a reassuring report. Following
this was a statement issued by the
board of directors Of the First National
bank announcing that the bank was
perfectly solvent. and on top of this
came word from the board of directors
OF the Milwaukee chamber of commerce,
announcing its decision not to with
draw it's current expense fund from the
First National. All Of these statements
had reassuring effect on depositors as
to the stability of the banks.
Banks Insist on Notice
The banks affected were we'll able to
cope with long run, but 1t was de-
cided by all of the banks in the city to
take advantage of the law on time de-
posits, requiring a notice of thirty days
of withdrawal on amounts less than
500 and ninety days where the amounts
exceed that sum. AS rapidly as the de-
positors appeared at the wickets of the
savings departments of the affected in
stitutions their passbooks were stamped,
acknowledging the notice of with
drawal, and the depositors took their
departure. 1t required only about two
hours to dispose of the line.
Cashier Frank ]. Kipp is authority
for the statement that much more than
S2,Oo0,000 was received during the day
by the bank. The First National bank
is depository for the government de-
partments in Milwaukee, the funds in
cluding those of the internal revenue
office and the officers in the department
of justice. None of these will be with
drawn.
According to the federal provision a
prisoner cannot plead guilty until he
is indicted by the grand jury. Mr..
Bigelow therefore will not appear in
court until the grand jury has consid-
cred his case. United States District
Attorney Henry says that In all prob
ability only one indictment can be re-
turned, but that there may be a num-
ber of counts in separate instances.
While the date has not been set it is
understood that it will be about the
middle of May.
Up to a late hour no trace has been
found of Henry G.. Coll, the deposed
assistant cashier of the First National
bank.
State funds, amounting to nearly half
million dollars, will not be with
drawn from the First National bank.
This conclusion was reached after a
conference between state officials and
local bankers today. The state Off
cials, it is said, were given a complete
statement regarding the finances of
the bank.
