Herold Freder- rick haa cabled from London to the I Timee tlie following : j "lliavelrom an absolutely iniormeu quarter an interesting view of the state of affair in the far F.ast. Corea's au tonomy la assured, Manchuria is virtually in Japanese hands, and they are already building additional fortifications at Port Arthur to t'jrn that place into a Japanese Gihraliar. Now that Wei-Hai-Wei is captured and the Chinese fleet destroyed, uothing remain! hut to advance upon Peking, This will cerlainlv be done by way of Khan Hai-K wan It is curious nothing baa yet been said about the Chines worka and forces there, where the next great engagement muat be. "All talk of peace now ia nonsence. The Japanese will not talk about it until they are in Peking. Otherwise, the vast bulk of the Chinese people would never know that there had been a war and the Japanese would have, in a few years, to do their work all over again. Von Hanneken haa been toiling to fortify Slian-Hai-Kwan for mcnths, bat there is no doubt that the Japanese will take It." AID TO HAVI BEKN ORDKBKD BACK. London, Feb. 10 The Central News correspondent In Shanghai says that China hai ordered the peace envoys which she sent to Japan to tome back immediately. Till CHtNrSI LOW! IS AT Wgl-HAI-WKI. Yokohama. Feb. 12 Tlie following gives a summary of the situation at Wei Hai-Wel: According to the latest inlelli gence, all the forts on the mainland have been taken by tbe Japanese, and a fort on one of the islands in the harbor has been silenced. The ironclads Ting-Yuen and Laio-Yuen and the crnisers Ching Yuen and Wei-Yuen have been sunk and thirteen torpedo-boats either dis- troyed or can'ured. One Japanese tor- (ledo-bont was lost and two were dis abled. The remainder of the Chinese warships, including the Chen-Yuen, to gether with the forts on the island of Liu-Knng, are still holding out. DKLAYKD REPORTS Of TIIK BATTLE. London. Feb. 12. The Times will to morrow pudlish this dispatch, sent from Kobe under date ol Fehruary 9 : The Chinese forts on the smaller islands in the bav of Wei-Hai-Wei are silent, and it is believed they hsve been abandoned The forts on the Island of Liu-Kung Tao, however, are still active London, Feb. 12. A Tokio dispatch says the Japanese admiral reports that the Japanese blew up the magazine of the Whih Tam forts at Wei-Hai-Wei on February S. On the 9th two shells from the eastern forts struck the Chinese cruiser Chen Yuen, which immediately sank. The Whih Tam fort has been silent since the blowing up of its maa line, and ia probahly evacuated. The Japanese having captured the enemy'i torpodoes, the enemy's shia are hnn machine guns nightly in order to avert a torpedo attack'upon them. A dispatch from Wei-Hai-W ei says the Chinese General Tai committed suicide February 7, in a fit of anger at the de sertion of so many of his officers. London, Feb. 12 A special dispatch to the Pall Mall Gazette from Wei-Hai- Wei, Fehruary 7. by way of Hiogo, the 11th says: Notwithstanding the nature of the fighting at ei-Hai- ei, little damage has been done. CHE-FOO FILLING UP. London, Feb. 12. A Shanghai dis patch says a number of foreigners and many Chinese have arrived there from Che-Foo. Wounded Chinese soldiers are flocking to Che-Foo for the purpose of being attended by doctors and nurses of the Red Cross Society. THE RECALL OF THE ENVOYS. Feeing, Feb. 12. The tsung-l'-yamen after consultation with foreign ministers, has telegraphed the Chinese envoys at Nagasaki ordering them to return to China. A Shanghai dispatch says the recall of the Chinese peace envoys was the result ol the consultation of Chinese authorities with foreign ministers. ' Paolflo Oabls Materialising Washington, Feb. 11.

Gillett preached at the hall the lat two evening. He will bold meet ings every night this week and probably ( a week or two longer. So far the meet-1 ings have been largely amended and much interest manifested. There will be some Portland ministers to assist Rev. (iillett. The literary held its regular meeting Saturday evening After a short literary program the debate was 0iened by four little boys, who handled the subject very well considering their youth, followed by several of the older debaters in tbeir best style. The question "Resolved, That more can be learned by travel and observation than by study and medita tion," was decided by a two to one vote n the affirmative, Claude Stone leader, The next question to be debated is steam boat vs. railroad, (I have forgot tbe ex act wording,) Will Hitrkenbotham and John Gaskill leaders. The society held an election at this meeting. Wm. Stone the popular president, who has held tbe office for three consecutive terms, de clined the fourth nomination, whereupon W. D. Burkey was duly elected presi dent ; D. C. Richardson vice presideat ; G C. Armstrong secretary; Miss Ida Young editor. Miss Young has ap pointed an assistant and a large staff of reporters with the determination to have a creditable paper. The next meeting is postponed until February 23d on ac- count of the school entertainment which will take place on the next regular meet ing night of the literary, Saturday, Feb ruary 16th. The school entertainment which promisee to be an enjoyable affair will close with a pie social, the proceeds from the sale of the pies to be applied to building a wood shed on the school grounds.

Redland, Feb. 11. We are sorry to state that Alfred Sprague Jr. is much worse now, and his friends have little hopes of his recovery. He is a popular young man and bis critical condition saddens the entire neighborhood. He has lung trouble brought on by a severe attack of plenresy last fall. The mysterious disappearanae of Fred Eckhoff, late of Summerville, Oregon, which greatly excited and alarmed his friends last week, has at last been solved by a letter received from him by B. E. Courtwrite. It appears that he had been dispondent and in pool health for some time, and he started off ostensibly to consult a physician presumably at Oregon City, but he wandered down to Portland where his peculiar actions caused his arrest and his sanity examined into. He was found to be suffering from abbe rat ion, and his friends being un known he was taken to the asylum . On receiving the letter from him Mr. Court write went up to Salem to see him. He found him rational enough in some re spects, but in others his mind seemed unbalanced. He is a man of some means having property in Summerville and at Port Angeles, Washington, also some here. He is unmarried and was well liked by those who knew him. It is thought he will soon recover his health and reason. Rev. Gillett will hold re vival meetings another, week, as the meetings are well attended and the in terest is increasing. Rustic, Carol Callings. Carus, Feb. 11. We are going to get a little of the Eastern storms. A. O. Hayward has sold twenty-one acres more of his farm land to C. K. Graybill, of Sidney, Or. Wm. Miller, lately residing at Maple Lane, moved last Tuesday on the old Eaton place, now owned by the Rev Griffiths, of Wisconsin. A literary society was started at the Baker school house Saturday evening. with F. Mahoney pres., and Miss Jennie Baker sec, Miss Hattie Hunter gave a sociable to her friends on Tuesday evening. All proclaimed to have been well pleaaed and enjoyed a pleanant evening, and the inner-man wan well provided for aa Ming Hattie i an adapt in making good pie land cakes, ao the young folk fay. Wednesday evening the Union Halt literary and debating society held their 'regular meeting. Halaey Fhelpa prea. and a. Ulhcer aec. Iliey lial a large attendance and great interest was taken in the meeting. Tlie subject under dis cussion waa ''Resolved, That short hand Is more beneficial in business than long: band. B. Officer affirmative and Bud Smith negative. The following also took part in the debate: C. E. Knotu, H A. Waldron, Halsey Phelps and J. Helvey. B. Officer, the leader of th affirmative, who has been a practical short hand writer for the past twelve years, endeavored to show tbe benefit to ie derived from short hand and its history opto the present time. It was an able effort on hia part, bat the judges thought different and det ided in favor of the negative. They were Harry Smith, L. Riggs and N. Maboney. After this followed some recitation, singing and ' the reading of the first issue of the society's paper called the Umbrella, by P.. Officer editor, and to judge by the way it was received by tbe audiance, proved it a saccett . Jcniata. Tbe Roads of Antlqnlty. Perhaps the earliest road on record is that mentioned by Herodotus as having; been constructed by Cheops, the Egypt ian king, in order that stones might be dragged along it for bis pyramid, say tbe London Standard. In the opinion of the Greek traveler the work of m akin a: tbe road waa as great as that of building; the pyramid, for it took 10 years to con struct, and it was composed of polished stones with figures carved on them. But this does not compare in magnitude with the highways constructed by the , Peruvians, while medieval Europe wasr still in a state of semi-barbarous disor ganization. The two principal roads in Pern ran from Quito in the north, to Cuzco. the capital, the one along the Mndy tnd leTe gtrip 0 COMtf tne other alon( tbe ptten of the Andes, a re gion of unparalleled engineering dim- culty. The length of the second baa . been estimated at from 1500 to 2000 miles. It crossed sierras buried in snow ; bridged ravines with walls of solid ma sonry; mounted and descended precipi ces by staircases hewn in the solid rock ; and ran in Interminable galleries along; the sides of intractable mountains. Where rivers had to be crossed bridges were made of stout, pliant osier, twisted to the thickness of a man's , body, and stretched over the stream sometimes for a distance of 200 feet. These cables, swung side by side, and fastened with planks so as to form a footway, were drawn through holes in enormous but tresses of stone specially constructed on ' each bank, and were secured firmly at each end to heavy beams of timber. A railing of similar osier material gave the passenger confidence as he crossed the oscillating bridge that sank danger ously in the middle and mounted rapidly at the sides. The great highway was 20 feet wide and was built with flags of freestone covered witb bituminous cem-. ent. It was measured out by posts set npat every league; caravansaries and magazines were stationad at convenient distances for the Peruvian soldiers on their military expeditions; and a regular postal service had been organized by which highly trained runners, relieved every five hours, could convey messages a distance of 200 miles in 24 hours. The roads were kept in beautiful order, the inhabitants of a district being responsi ble for that portion of the highway which traversed their land. At the same time it should be remembered that there was no wheel traffic to cut up the level surface of the hard pavement. There is consid erable irony in the fact it was not till the Spaniards forcibly introduced their so- called civilization into Peru that the famous roads began to fall into disrepair. La Kermesse.
