San Francisco, Nov. 1.-THE Bulletin
says:
A letter containing a duplicate of I'D
vices sent by regular correspondence to
the Hong Kong press from Vladivostock
was received by the last China steamer
and was turned over to the Bulletin to-
day. The communication shows that the
ear is massing troops in the Vladivo-
stock district and has already q number
of naval vessels concentrated in northern
waters.
The principal details of the situation
are contained in the following para
graphs:
although the Russian government ex-
plains that the massing of troops in the
Primorsk and the east of Siberia IL due
to exchange of army divisions. ii is
learned that in all the divisions of
VladiyOstock there are not less than
10000 men of arms, which monster
army is. looked upon rs menace to the
peace of Asia"
The correspondent, further commenting
on the situation, states that while it is
confessed that Russia is entitled to settle
along the Pacific. the continuous and
warlike preparations are anything but re-
assuring. The frequent presence of Rus
sia's engineers Mt Port Arthur and their
operations in Manchuria with the tacit
consent of the officials of China are
highly significant of the relations be-
tween Russia and China and point I'M
mistakably to the common object Of
Russia's warlike anticipation 1t be-
hooves the British government to thor
oughly investigate this very important
matter.

NEW YORKS HORSE SHOW.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE fourth day
of the horse show was marked by better
attendance than it's predecessors and two
mishaps, neither of which resulted Sc
riously.
Charles VI. Hustled of Goshen, y. Y,
was driving Crustable to light buggy,
and the vehicle upset at turn, throw
ing Hustled some distance.
Rawins Townes of Waterbury, Conn,
was thrown from his mare, Kitty, but
was not hurt badly
For the lovers of high horse flesh there
has never been a better exhibition. The
number of entries is not so large as on
other occasions, but this is because the
restrictions concerning eligibility for en-
try have been increased. Consequently
the quality of the animals is better. The
splendid exhibition of trotters which has
taken the place formerly held by the hack
ncys has added interest to the show. Next
to the trotters the hunters are most prom
inent. A feature of the show tonight was
the drill of squad of mounted police.
The equipment and general bearing of
the policemen were considered in the
awards.
Among the prominent spectators to-
night was Secretary of the Treasury j.
G. Carlisle.

Mr.. Bernard Abrahams of counsel for

was n right one and that the home sec
