That Japs Have Not Advanced Be-
 yond vafangow Activity Before
 Port Arthur-yIadivostok Squadron
 Returns to Port.
 St. Petersburg, June 2O.-The emper- or has received the following dispatch from General Kuropatkin:
 "The enemy in the direction of Sai- matsze and Feng Wang Cheng have not only stopped, but have made a retro grade movement. They have evacuated several points towards the north of Feng Wang Cheng, which until recently they occupied.
 "The movement of the Japanese troops towards the Dalime defile has stopped, but rather important move ment of the Japanese forces has been discovered in the direction of Siu Yen and Hai Cheng or Siu Yen and Tashi- chiao.
 General Stakelberg reports that the enemy has not advanced beyond Va fangow.
 Tt is reported that three bodies of troops are extending their front be- tween Vafangow and Tchonjon.
 After two days of fighting and two tiring night marches by different noun tainous roads the troops have been able to rest. Their morale is excellent. It has not yet been possible to procure precise details of our losses. Accurate numbers are only procurable in the fol- lowing regiments:
 First division East Siberian rifles, 15 officers killed and 49 wounded, 12 of whom remained on the battlefield; SS6 soldiers killed and 992 wounded, 568 of whom remained on the battlefield, but some of whom, however, were picked up by the ambulance trains. In the S3d, S5th and S6th regiments one officer and 120 soldiers soldiers were killed and 19 officers and 6O4 soldiers wounded Nine- ty-six of these soldiers remained on the battlefield. The first artillery brigade lost 10 officers and 103 soldiers killed; the Ninth brigade of artillery 1 officer and 25 soldiers killed; the Tobolk regi- ment 1 officer and soldiers killed, 1 officer and 40 men wounded and three missing; the Marschansk regiment of- ficers and 131 men wounded, Ii men killed and 8 missing
 The general staff believes it probable that Generals Kuroki and Oku are med itating a combined attack on General Kuropatkin before he is further rein forced. In order to do so they must act before the rainy season, which is iIn- minent.
 The war office points out that since it was General Oku and not General Nod- gu who fought Lieutenant General Bar on Stakelberg at Vafangow and that since General Oku has recently been di- recting the siege operations against Port Arthur, the siege seems to have taken second place in the plans of the Japanese.
 There is rumor in St. Petersburg tonight that battle at Hai Cheng is actually proceeding, and that there have been heavy losses on both sides. There is, however, no confirmation of this rumor.
 It has developed that the Japanese at Vafangow had an accurate topographi- calmap of the whole battlefield and that their batteries were connected by tele- phone.

 Yale Crew Quarters. Gales Ferry, June 2O.-The extreme heat in the morn ing followed by a strong south wind in the afternoon made it difficult for the Yale oarsraen to-day and consequently a four mile row was not taken. About o'clock this evening the varsity and freshmen crews padded up stream for three miles and after short rest head- ed down stream for two mile race. The varsity rowed 24-stroke and the freshmen four points higher, the rowing being easy all of the time. After row ing two miles the freshmen dropped out but the varsity continued over the line. Earlier in the afternoon the Har- yard second crew padded over to the Yale float and tried to start a race be- tween themselves and the Yale varsity, but all challenges were declined by the Yale men. Owing to the rough water this evening the work of the Yale crew was not smooth, there being consider able splashing. There was change in the makeup of the freshmen eight this evening, A Scott going in at No 8 in place of Danielson and Husted being placed at coxswain in place of Kuttsch- nitt.

No more remarkable recovery in bat
ting has been made in the big leagues
this year than that of Cassidy and Stahl-
In the early part Of the season neither
could hit. and Stahl was actually joke.
He pottered along with an average OF
less than 100, and accumulated a sur
plus OF times at bat that has damaged
his record ever since. Had he hit only
fairly well at the beginning Of the sea-
son he would now have an average that
would put him in his proper class.
The same is true of Cassidy, who has
been coming to the front so fast that all
OF the magnates are beginning to take
notice and wonder why they overlooked
such good man.
O'NeilI. the new left fielder taken in
exchange for Setback and a roll of bills,
is credited with a mark OF 200 in twenty
games. He has had eighty times at bat.
and made a hit once IN every five. In

temper that as soon as ne got blow
on the nose he lost his head and was a
mark for his antagonist. Here Harris
broke in: Yes. that is just IT, II they

blow on the busle he went sailing in and
made short work of his man. He fought
SO fast that none Of them could stop
him, no matter how clever they Were
and Terry does not know a great deal
about the scientific end OF the game. He
simply sailed in and rained blows so
fast that his opponents had no chance
TO set themselves and were pOwerless
In his path.
If COrbett had punched him in the

FLANAGAN THROWS
FOR NEW RECORD
Sent 56-Pound Shot Forty Feet Two
Inches in Irish Games-No
Previous Mark.

The annual picnic Of the Tipperary
Mems Association at Celtic Park. New
York, yesterday. was signalized by a
new weight-throwing record. John
Flanagan. the Irish Hercules. slung the
5e-pound weight, unlimited run and fol-
low, with both hands. a distance OF 40
feet inches.
No previous record stood for this
style OF throwing, so that the figure
now becomes the worlds best mark.
Throwing the weight with unlimited run
IS practiced chiefly IN Ireland. where the
competitors are restricted 10 the use only
Of one hand. and the record under these
conditions is % feet II inches by T. F.
Kelly in 1897.
