RUSSIAN PRISONERS OF WAR.
Much to Fear from Them When The1
 Return from Japan.

London, June 16.--A Russian resident at London who is closely allied with the revolutionary movement said to the Associated Press today that Russia had much to fear from the return of pris- oners now confined in Japan. These prisoners, he said, had been regularly supplied with revolutionary literature from societies in New York, London and Berlin and also with all news det- rimental to the government of Russia, as well as literature comparing the free governments of other countries with that of the motherland. As Rus sian soldiers are susceptible, he pre- dicted that every prisoner on his re- turn to Russia would have revolutions ary tendencies.

STRIVING FOR ARMIsTIoE.
washington's Tentative Programme to
 Prevent Another BattIe.


 Washington, June 16Alone on the plains of Manchuria midway between the two great armies, the Russian and Japanese commanders will meet to sign the armistice which will pave the way for the Washington conference, if the present tentative program is followed. Exchanges on this point are now in progress between Tokio and St. Peters, burg, via Washington, but no final con ] clusion has baen reached It was first thought preliminary protocol might be signed at Washington providing for a temporary cessation of hostilities, but in view of the fact that this con- cerns directly the armies in the field, it is believed that the belligerents will agree that arrangement for the arnis- tice may be best intrusted to Line witch and Oyama, the respective com manders-ir-chief, who in such event, would be telegraphed special powers to sign. The time limit for the armistiee has not besn fixed, but it will be com paratively brief, that the progress of the conference may be assisted as much as possible. s.. ..s-. ....
 Prior to the signing of the armistice, however, will come the official an- nouncement of the Russian and Japan csc plenipotentiaries. Russia has indi- cated that her mission will be headed by M. Nelidoff, the Russian ambassador at Paris, and it is understood that the emperor has requested Marquis Ito to head the Japanese mission, although the distinguished president of the privy council, so far as is known here, has not finally accepted. Only his health would cause him to decline. In which event Fled Marshal Yamagata probably would be selected in his place. Neither country has suggested the names of the other plenipotentiaries, nor has the number finally been agreed upon, though the belief tonight is that there will be three on side. !

INDICATIONS OF ONE
 MORE GREAT BATTLE
STRUGGLE EXPECTED BEFORE FORMAL PEACE NEGOTIA-
 TIoNs BEGIN.

Forward Movement of Japanese Re-
 ported Already Under Way Despite

 by the Strategy of oyama-His Arr
 my Asserted to be Completely EnyeI-
 oped with Mikado's Legions Closing
 In Kawamura's Army Crosses "AIps"
 to Get in Line-stirrIng Events Im-
 ninent.
 London, June 16-The practical cer- tainty now that peace negotiations can not begin for another month leads to the conviction that another great bat tie will be fought in the interval.
 According to the Daily Telegraph's Tien Tsin correspondent, a Japanese forward movement has already com- menced in spite of the rainy season.
 The Daily Telegraph's Tokio corre- spondent gives an interesting idea of the situation from a correspondent who is said to be in good position to know the actual facts. This correspondent says that the principal Russian depot is at Gunshu Pass, whence many light railroads are being constructed north- ward to facilitate retreat. Lieutenant General Lineyitch, bewildered by the strategy of the Japanese, is making re- peated reconnaissances and throwing out innumerable scouts. Nevertheless, at the present moment, the correspond ent says, all his army is completely enyeloped. The Japanese army has made circle a hundred miles in cir cumference around Linevitch, and is gradually closing in.
 The Japanese military correspondent of the Morning Post says the Russian evacuation of Omoso shows that Gen. eral Kawamura's Army of the Yalu,'' despite the difficulties met in a noun tainous country, has arrived in time to synchronize with the movements of the other Japanese armies, and, the corre- spondent adds, stirring events are im- ininent.

CHARTER OAK AUTO RACES.
BARNEY oLDFIELD DEFEATED
 BY FRENCH MOTORIsT.
Chevrolet Leaves Crack American chaureur Behind in Each of the Two Events in Which They Mcet--In the Open Contest the Principal feature of the Days Programme he Takes the Lead and Is Never Headed.

Hartford, June 16.- Chevrolet, the French motorist, defeated Barney Old field this afternoon in the one-mile free-for-all race at the automobile race meet held at Charter Oak park under the auspices of the Hartford Automo- bile club. Oldfield and Chevrolet met twice in this event. it being contested in heats, and in both trials the Alneri- can champion was bested.
 In an attempt to lower his own time record of 4:29 for five miles oldfleld failed, his time being 5:O3-3-5. In this trial, however, the fastest mile of the day was made in :60 2-5.
 Tn the open event, which was the principal feature of the days pro- gramme, Chevrolet took the lead and was never headed, Oldfield most of the cloud raised by his rival. When he finally emerged from the dust he was about 100 feet behind and was unable to gain an inch to the finish. As his time in this heat--1 :05-was better than that made by the winner of the second heat, Charles Soules, Oldfield was a contestant in the final heat, but was again defeated.
 Some of the events were mere pro- sessions, particularly the five-naile race between cars weighing between SS1 pounds and 1,431. Ill this the car driv- |en by Raymond ran away from that driven by F. K. Derby.
 An exciting contest was the stock car race, in which there was intense rivalry. Charles Soules, driving a thir- ty-horsepower machine, was first, Ed- die Bald being second.
 Tomorrow Oldfeld, Soules and A. M. Roberts will compete in the American automobile championship event. All the crack drivers will also meet again in a tiye-mile contest, and Oldfield will go against his own worlds record of ffty-three seconds for a mile made on !an American track. The summaries of to-day's races:

LIGHT WORK FOR YALE MEN
NONE OF THE CREWS GIVEN
 HARD PRACTICE. &,
Mere Padding to Keep Them in Con- dition--coach wray Professes PIeas- ure With Work of the Harvard var sity Crew--Row Mile in Very Close to Five Minutes--oars to be Used in Race Tried for First Time.

Race Tried for First Time.
 Yale Quarters, Gales Ferry, Conn, June 16.-None of the Yale crews had hard practice to-day, the work being for most part of the nature of padding to keep the men in condition during the progress of college examinations. The varsity eight went up river for two miles and back covering the four miles by easy stretches and without any at tempt at time rowing. The other crews had light practice. All the men are reported by the coachers in good con- dition.
 Harvard Quarters, Gales Ferry, Conn, June 18.-Coach Wray was very much pleased with the work of the Harvard varsity crew to-day when they roWed in very close to five minutes which is fully three quarters of a sec ond faster than anything they have done before. The course was from the navy yard to the three mile mark. For the first half mile the stroke was 2S to the minute and for the second half 32. The boat spaced out we'll at the start and when the stroke was increased, the crew got so much life and drive into the work that the spacing did not de- crease perceptibly. Coach Wray said the showing was the best yet made and he hoped the good form would continue. To-day for the first time the set of oars which are to be used in the race were tried. They are light and the men seemed to handle them well.
 The freshman eight did not go out on the river this morning but were given a two-mile row from the navy yard to the bridge this evening. They cover- ed the distance in 10 minutes IS sec- onds. There was favoring tide but a head wind. ..
 The four-oar varsity boat was re- rigged to-day with a starboard stroke, Corlett going to that position. Hill was at 3, George at ?, and Farley at the bow. While Farley was at stroke the coachers found that he had tendency to hang.
 R. L. Bacon of New York, whose son roms No. 6 in the Harvard eight, was a guest at quarters this afternoon.

Some experts consider this is whis-

real whisky unless it is made of malt

expert, an Irishman, said:
Il do not drink whisky myself, but
believe that a grain made in a patent

that from matted barley in hot STILL"
A Scottish expert said:
Scotch whisky is made in Scot
land from matted barley grown in
Scotland. with Scoach water in hot
