 Results of Other Matches.
 Boston. July 26.-Expe editious work on the part of the committee brought the single matches in the Longwood Cricket clubs tennis tournament to the fourth round to-day so that the easterh doubles championship event will start tomorrow with a well cleaned field
 The players found the grounds in far better shape than yesterday, but many suffered from the humid weather con ditions.
 The star match of the day was be- tween Holcombe Ward of Orange. N, J., and A. E. Bell, the California champion, and although the eastern man won, his opponent playing the same net game, gave him stiff four set battle. Ward found it harder to meet his own style of plays than the long back court game of his more fa- miliar eastern opponents. During the first set he could not get into his swing and was very unsteady with the result that Bell won, 9-7. Ward then braced and won the next three sets and the match, although Bell pressed him hard repeatedly.
 Twenty-t three pairs are entered in the eastern doubles championship to-mor- row. Summaries:

 St. Petersburg, July 26. The follow ing dispatch from General Kuropatkin, dated July 25, has been received by the emperor:
 "Reconnaisances carried out daily of late between Kaichdu and Siakhotan showed the surlmits Of the heights north of Kaichou to be strongly occu- pied and fortified. At in the morn < ing, July 2S, the enemy, two divisions strong, assumed the offensive. Along the line of outposts to the south the enemy developed a division of infan- try, concentrating his main body to- ward Datehapu (twelve miles north of Kaichou) and keeping his cavalry on our left flank near the railroad. His advance was effected slowly, and at in- teryals was accompanied by heavy fire from thirty guns, which our rear guard batteries successfully answered The Japanese fire at first was directed at the heights, which gradually were evacuated by our outposts. Our sharp shooters with the rear guard opened fire upon the advancing Japanese in- falltry and at favorable moment Col. I,esch withdrew our rear guard to a new position at Datchpu, and our bat teries which had several times changed their positions, continued the duel with the enemys artillery, also firing into the infantry columns.
 "About 9:3O a. m, the Japanese began ,. forward movement, at first with three battalions from the Tsintsakle valley. In this direction our forces occupied a fortified advanced position. Toward 8 b. m, the enemy had upward of a di- . vision of infantry and at the same mo- lnent columns of considerable strength, amounting to a brigade of infantry, ap- peared west of the railroad. At about 4 o'clock, the enemy ceased to advance and extended his main body.
 'Towards evening. July 23, our troops having left, attachments to hold the fortified positions bivouacked in the various position assigned to them, with the view of a possible rear guard en- gagement.

 At the hearing before the police com mission on May A I understood the mayor to say that to his knowledge the streets in parts of the city other than the Eighth and Ninth wards are unsafe for women at night without ar escort. That indeed decent women have no business on the streets alone after dark. That he knew of cases oi assault upon women in which the per.

RUSHING NEW MEN TO
 TAKE STRIKERS PLACES
PACKERS CLAIM 1000 RzYE
 ALREADY BEEN INSTALLED.
Expect to Soon Get Their AGairs in Such shape That Strikers VIII be Compelled to Seek Truce-Team- sters Restless to Go out-one Hun- dred Quit on Their own Responsi- biIity.

Chicago, July 26.-Little if any ad- vantage was gained by either side in the stock yards strike to-day and there is no hope tonight of any immediate settlement of the difficulty. Realizing that they have one of the hardest prop ositions to contend with in the history of the packing industry, the packers are leaving nothing undone to gain the upper hand in the struggle with their S0,000 union employees who are on strike.
 All day long workmen from outside points were rushed to Chicago and talk en to the stock yards under police pro- lection to fill the places of the strikers. Tonight it was announced by the packers that 1000 new men were now installed in the different plants at the stockyards. With these men and with the new arrivals that are expected each day the packers expect to get their af- fairs in such shape that the strikers will be compelled to seek truce in the hostilities and seek peaceable settle ment at the dictation of the employers.
 Although the receipt of live stock was
 small compared with receipts on corre- spending days under normal conditions, still many cattle, hogs and sheep were left in the pens tonight unsold. With all the union workmen out on strike, with the exception of the packing house teamsters the only additions to-day to the ranks of the strikers were about 100 teamsters who quit work as individ-
 uals, preferring to do this rather than walt for an official order to walk out, and the waitresses in the restaurants at the stock yards controlled by the
 packing companies. The teamsters have
 become restless and the general belief is that few if any of the 700 employed in the packing industry will wait for the sanction of the international officers of the union to go on strike.
 Rumors of renewed efforts to settle the difficulty by arbitration were thick to-day, but upon investigation they were found to be without foundation. When questioned regarding the situa- tion tonight Michael J Donnelly, pres ident of the Butchers union, said: Il have no hope of an immediate set- tlemen. The fight is on and the only
 thing we can do now is to stick to the end.
 The union organizations recalled their
 ultimatum issued yesterday prohibiting their members employed in the inde- lpendent plants from killing live stock
 purchased in the stock yards, where
 the animals are being handled by non union employees, the independent pack CTS having pointed out to them that such an order would be benefit to the packers.
 Policemen guard the entrances to the stock yards all day and night, but de- spite this precaution disturbances were
 numerous, and two of them ended with fatal results.
 While an attack was being made on some colored strike breakers as they were leaving the stock yards tonight, oy, cs1,r,y,1 Ion r,,, I9g

 Two of His Horses Won Events Yes-

 Furnished by Congressman T. D. sul-
 Ilyan-Indignation at Its Sma1Iness.
 New York, July 26.-John J. Ryan, a race-horse owner, whose horses Relia- ble and Monster won the first and third races at Brighton Beach to-day, was arrested at the Brighton track this af- ternoon on warrant charging him with larceny by means of an alleged get-rich-qufck scheme of which it is said that he was the head. The amount involved is said to be $SOOOOO. The warrant for Ryan's arrest was issued in St. Louis and the arrest was made by central office detective, accompa- |nied by y St. Louis detective and George Fickessen, assistant to Attorney Folk, of St. Louis
 Ryan took his arrest eoolly and in duced the detectives to remain with him at the track until the end of the third race, on which he told them he had a few hundreds placed
 Why didn't those people in St Louis let me know they wanted me? I'd have gone on he said.
 At police headquarters he gave his age as thirty-nine years and his occu- Epation horse-racing. He was taken at once before Supreme Court Justice Amend, in Chambers, who fixed bail at $5,000. Congressman Timothy D. Sulli- van signed the bond.
 A representative of the circuit attor- ney's office in St Louis was indignant when he learned that bail had been fixed at $5,00O.
 We are framing a strong case against Ryan, he said, land it's tough to have a New York judge let the man lout on such small bail. But we'll get Ryan. We have five St. Louis detec- tives watching him and he can't get out of the state. We were going to take him to St. Louis tonight, but were frustrated 7
 Detective Killian, of St. Louis, said | tonight that Ryan was indicted by the tJuLS s=6GRCI WlG~ nesses had appeared He declared that there would probably be over one thou sand complaints against Ryan on the | trial.
 Killian said the scheme in this case was one in which readers of St. Louis newspaper advertisements were asked l to go into a scheme for large profits. l The Ifyrse-facinP game was in f1a hack ground, said Killian, Dividends were paid to some of the first subscribers, 1 but as the number increased the divi- dends were passed and all the money looming in was kept.
