Club Dance No. 10.

The tenth weekly dance OF the
dancing club was held at what is
left of Baldwin's opera house on
Tuesday night of this week. The
full club membership wae present
and large number of friends OF
the dancers were also in attend
ance. The hall has been made
smaller by Mr.. Baldwin, 16 feet
having been taken off of the south
side, but the crowd Tuesday night
was so large it was found necessary
TO dance on both sides of the par
tition. The south side of the parti-
ton was called Miami and the
north side Baxter, and the prompt
er, W. NJ. Gill, says it is the first
time he ever conducted two dances
at once. The evening was quite
warm, but we believe the dance
was the most enjoyable one SO far
this season.

RUSSIA IS PREPARING.
CONCENTRATING TROOPS IN THE EAST,
Possibility that War with Japan VIII
Break out Early In tho Com
ing Spring.

San Francisco. Dec. 9.-The Call says;
The report that the Russian govern
ment is buying large quantities of
army supplies in the United States, has
been verified. Gable messages from
Vladivostock asking merchants to bid
on large lots are frequently received.
Yesterday Dodge Sweeney & Co. of
this city received a Vladvostock cable
to figure ON 1900 tons of supplies.
Travellers arriving from Asia report
that the garrison at Vladlvostock has
been largely reinforced by the arrival
of troops on steamers and sailing YES
sells from the Black sea. The cuncen-
tration of Russian troops at that point
and the haste that Japan is making
to Increase their power on sea, lead
some Of our merchants to predict that
the impending conflict between Russia
and japan may open as early as next
summer.
The recent heavy orders for army
supplies to be forwarded to Nladivo-
stock are regarded as significant of
important movements in the orient. 1t
Is believed that the completion of the
trans Siberian railroad with It's ter
minus at Vladivostock will largely in
crease the trade of San Francisco and
there is talk of establishing n line OF
steamers to that place, touching at
Alaskan ports. a local subsidy of $1,000
n month has already been subscribed
for an Alaskan line.
