HOSPITALITY ON A GRAND SCALE
Twenty-Nine Thousand Sailors Will
Celebrate the Event Lazza

(Copyrighted 189S by ASsociateicl Press.)
Bertln, June 16. Public attention Juat
now is wholly concentrated on. the ap
proaching fetea at Kiel, in celebration of
the opening of fchei Baltic and North' Sia
Canal. Otiber questions and the events
of the cabinet crisis, which is hovering
in the air, have beea re&egafcd to the
background.
On Friday next twentyntrwo warships
wMl be anchored in Kiel harbor, having
on board 11,000- German sailors, and on
.the many foreign waiiships, which will
be there at tlhe same time, Uiere wlU b
18,000 men id round numbers. The Unit
ed States squadron enlterei the harbor
today. ' 1 i
The lavish character of the hospitality
which will be extended to the crews of
the various foreign chips at Kiel, may
be Judged from the fact that the con.
tract, made wJtlh Hamburg, provides fo
the supply of 140 tons of fresh meat
dally, 2,000 bottles of wine, 200 bottles ot
.spirits, 10,000 bottike of beer, 6,000 gallons
of beer in casks, and 1,000 gallons of milk,
apart from the ordinary rations aboard.
FIGHTERS KNOCKED OUT,
Ooney Island, June 16.-S'careely 1,000
people took the risk of paying their-
money here itonight to see the bouts
which were sdhediuKd to take place in the
crena of tine Seaside Athletic Club. The
affair was a filzaie. George Green, of
San Francisco, better known as "Young.
Corbebt," and EdUi Fierce of New
York, who wero to box ten rounds at
cabch weights .were first to enter the
ring. During the flrait two round Ootv
belt punched Pierce where and when ht
liked, and In the third he hit Pierce a
right bander on the Jaw and he went
down like a tog, . failing on his face,
knocked out.. The police, headed by Cap
tain Cl'ayton, Jumped Into the ring and
arrested the flgihbera, time keepers and
referee. No decision was' given.
George Dixon and . Frank Erne then
climbed through the ropes. .The announc-
er Introduced the men, and sa.dj "Theie
men , have entered the ring to oomplae
the.r contracts but as the police will not
allow them to go. on 'there will toe nij fur
ther contests here tonight."
"Gdve us our moniy back," yftCed the
crowd. Tom. O'Rourke, D.xon s manugeh,
then addressed Wie crowd, and s'Jid:
''I am here with my man, and willing
to have him fight If the club will give ma
guarantees to protect him In court in
case of arrest.
Billy Nawman on betmlf of Erne, raid:
"We are 'here to flghit and wild rig to do
so, on the same terms O Rourloe slated."
The crowd yelled their approval, and
Sparrow Roberts entered the ring and
said: "The club has dwlded to) guarantee
the protection demanded by the princi
pals, but the police refuse to allow he
men- to box."
"Never mind tlhe police," yelled sev.rat
spectators, and it looked as If a rloi
would take place. They qu.eted down In
a couple of minutes, 'and the seconds of
thi men attempted to put on the glove.
Inspector Murphy and Oaptiln Clayton
entered the ring and announced that they
would not p?rmi't tlhe fight. The rrowd
then left the building-. Referee Hurst,
TIme-kyeper Stoll, --Young Oorbeitt, Ed
wards, and six others who were arrested
were admitted to ball in 1500 each,
THE GREAT HANDICAP.
New York, June 15.-jSpeolal to tlhe As
torlan.) Lazzarone, 10 to 1, 'won the
Suburban handicap today, Sir Walter
second, and Song and Dance third. Time,
2:07 4-5.
The Suburban, greatly to the chasrtn of
the knowing on.a, resulted in a shocking
upset of their calculations, 10 to 1 being
laid right up to the last moment against
Lazzarone. Song and Dance was the
first to break away from the bunch when
they got the flag1. He was quickly paused
by Declare, who set the pace for halt
a mile, then Sir Walter made for tha
lead. He got It, ami ait the three-quarter
post was a length in front of Declare
and Domino, heads apart, others do;
up. At the turn into the home stretch
Iaiac Murphy moved up from the bunch
with Lazzarone and passed Domino and
set Ball for Sir Walter. Half way down

lashed Sir Walter unmercifully, but Laz

the post by an open length better"than
Sir Walter second, and a length further

fallen Idol, Domino, wtie among the "also

. Washington, June 15. Millions and mil
lions of acres of lends are to be added

The last congress enacted a taw provid
ing that the general government shall
donate to each stale in which there are
arid lands 1,000,000 acres of such lands,
on cond lion that the reclamation b dons

ing have compt.ed with the law, and have
taken steps towards seourinj the million

Governor Miles, of Idaho, anl E. Meade,

IN FORMOSA.
Washington, June 15. The Japanese le
gation received an official dispatch from
the foreign office summarizing the status
of affairs in the IsCand of Formosa as
follow:
At Tat Phu Fu and Tamsul, the two
Large cities In -tlhe North, all disorder !

Japanese have put into ' operation tha
civil system of administration. German
marines were landed ait the cities men.

Foreign settlers are now under, the en
tire protection of the Japanese army and
civil authorities. The mention of the
establishment of the civil system chow
that martial law, which was1 in operation
when the Japanese fleet and army first
amved" has given place quickly to an
orderly municipal system. No merJtlob
is mode of the reported uprising of the
black flags.
A STRANGE CASE.
Eugene, Or., June 15. Warrants wera
today executed, charging Mr. and Mra.
C. D. McQueen; of this city, with tha
crime of incest. Mrs. McQueen was ar
rested today, and her hueband wlH prob
ably be 'brought In this evening.
The case is one of Ignorance of the
law, and the panties are very much em
barrassed at the predicament in which
they find thomselvea. On Jun 8th, the
county clerk granted a marriage license
to C. D. McQueen ant) Ada D. Purker
80 n, and they were married tha same day,
by Justice Wheeler, neither officer know
ing but whiait everything was regular.
Since tha marriage it has been discover,
ed that the man and wife are first cous
ins, and the law makes such a marriage
a crime. The groom is 20 years old and
the bride 15, and both had the consent
of tlhalr parents, who say they did not
know anything about the law forbidding
such marriages. ,

gram has been received from Chauncey.
M. Depew, In reply to an Inquiry as-to
wheUier he could attend the Republican
League Convention next week:

vention. I leave tomorrow for Nashvtlla
to deliver the annual address at the Van
dorbllt Undverslity. Returning, I will ar
rive at Cleveland on the 19Uh at 5 o'clock
and leave at 6 p. m."
It Is probablo that a delegation will
meet Mr. Depew at the depot and en
deavor to prevail upon, him to address
the convention. .
JOHN WOOD CONVICTED.
Portland, June 16.-John Wood, Hie tim
ber land swindler, was today convicted
in tho United States dlstr.et court- of
subornation of perjury. He Is charged
w.th having induced Karl Johnson, off As
toria, to file on a piece of land in Co urn
bia county, and appear before Register
Miller on July 23d, 1893, to swear that he
had seen ut when he had not. Then on
August Oth, 1884, according to the second
count, he had P, August Johnson, ol
Astoria, do a similar thing. These two
men ore now under indictment for tholr
part of the work, but will very probably
not bo conv.oted; they are very ignorant
and were easily lead.

Hammond Heard Frora-Pronilnent
Citizens Discuss the Situation .
' aud Give Some Facts.
Victory has come to the city of As
toria. Tiro railroad la assured. A tele
gram was yesterday afternoon received
by a prominent Astorian from Portland
which stated: "It Is all right work wlH
coirwtKtnce." ... i
This means that the haul labors of the
"twenty-one" have been crowned with
success, that a steel banded highway,
will soon connect Astoria with the the
rest of the world and the avenues of
commerce -with the nations of the earth
viU paas through our midst. .
The hardest port of the work yet re
mains to be ' dome the actual work ot
construction, which burden wHl be borne
by Mr, H ammo no, and the prosecution
of Uh-s condemnation suits for the right of
way,' Upon which no terms could be ar
ranged, and the cleaning up of odds and
endts connected: wllth the same, which
work mud be done by the committee,
No summer vacations or lemgihy outlnjj
trips can be indulged In, but the high
stakes are well worth the sacrifice.'
As has been eUated in these columns
severl times, here has been no failure
on the part of Astorians to come to the
front, and there will bs noie in the work
of completion, if it takes J&0.000 more tot
expanses. A number of prominent citi
zens, including Mr. Benjamin Young,
were, discussing the situation, and sev
eral - remarked that they were still
ready to put up to the limit of thtlr
ability and proportion for any- addition
al amounts needed to carry on the work.
Mr. Young stated that while he fe that
great Injustice had been done him In the
newspaper diacuss.ons as to his refusal
to deed a certain lot, and in lieu of which
he hod stated that If it was necessary
ha would give 1,600, $2,000, 2,500 or $3,000
yet he stood ready to be one of any
number to raise twenty or fifty thousand
dollars more if neuded, in accordance
with his hold.ngs of-property, and that
at the round up he wouid be found in the
front ranks. He stated that his heart
and soul were wrapped up .n tha pros-
-parity of Astoria. '"Here. all his property
Is located and a J his interests center,
and he' would certainly be the last one to
stand in-the way of the city's real ad
vancement and future prosperity.
Mr. Young agre.d w-tn the remark of
a.rtther standing by, that It was not r.ght
or Just for the few to bear al. the brunt
of battle, when uaere were others who
could do as much, While stiD others of
smaller capital could do something, '!f
amy a HtKe,and tfo.y wou.d be equally
benefitted with the others, in proportion
to their property and business interests.
But that for one he proposed to stand
by to the finish, as he had done in tha
past. - The Columbia Land ar.d Invest
ment CO., the Scandinavian Packing Co.,
the old Fishermen's Packing Co,, the
Savings Bank lniterest In the Hustler
estate, In all of which Institutions he was
i director and owner, had given the r.ght
of way through their prop.irt.es. Besldeo
these Items It was learned that Mr.
Young had given $1750 for surveys, one
fifth of his property at Tongue Point aa
a subsidy, and his share of the notes
amounting to $760. Others have well
done thtlr share, but Mr. Young thought
that there were some who had no occa
sion to throw stones,
. Unity seams to have been thoroughly'
established, and whatever may be this
man's opinion, or that man's v.ews, no;
will surely be found lacking at the finis,
least of all Mr. Young, whose motives
have undoubtedly been misunderstood by
many, the pros as well.
Next week will sje real work commence
anl with the nw inspiration of half the
work aiccornpllBhed all will work with ,a

and mutual txmeflt. Victory, the watch

FOR WOMEN.
New Exercises for the Development of
the Feminine Form. , . .
Take time for rest and time for exer
cse. Choose if you can the morning
after It en or the afternoon before dinner,
when usually one Is the most fatigued.
Get Into a perfectly loose gown or the
customary gitnnasium suit. .'The first
exercise is for the arms. Let them hang
at the sides a you stand eretct and then,
Instead of grasping dumb bells, clinch the
fisils energetically and make believe they
hold weights. WUhi all the nervous ener-t
gy you are able to command and with a
screw movement that turns the fleas
In, then out and up, draw them to the
-shoulder, the elbow remaining at the side.
Screw again and the fists and arms go
out kutenaily on a line with the shoulders.
Double back then to the shoulders and
the fists are screwed In front straight
out from the shoulders; reiturn again
and albove back, down and at rest, nine
movements, to be twice repeated, slowly,
energetically and with precWon. They
are not Intended to be "pretty to look
at," but they call Into play every muscle
of the shoulders and arms and every par.
Hcle of the grey matter In the brain Is
energised as well. A few weeks of It
and the arms are beautifully rounded,
while the wrists appear to grow smalltr
and Che knuckles are certainly not made
lumpy by weights or be(s.
Then for the legs: Gently rilsf the
body on the tots to sink very deliberate

up, down, up, down. Nothing la so ex
cellent for Increasing the arch of the In.
Wep. I have seen lnkps made to order
by it. A first one feels the muscles of
the calf of the leg drawing emoi-mouaiy
and painfully; that is ail rluht. It mere
ly Indicates that those muecif have been
unused. If persisted in the contour of the
thigh and calf grow firm end one soon
feels grasping the pavement when walk
ing with a security and elasticity of step
that Is astonishing.
Next for the hipa and back: Wtih the
toe Strongly pointed swing each leg alter
nately in a circular movement balanced,
as soon as possible, on the stationary
leg. The muade along the inner leg will
draw In a painful protest against such
unexpected activity required of It.
To screw the head gently from side to
side, then backwards end forwards, does
no harm, and really adds In filling out
scrawny necks, while it gives a much.
to-Jbedesired freedom of .movement and
poise. -'
By far the most important of all move
ments are those calling Into action the
muscles of the abdomen and back. They
are better taken under the supervision of
a skillful Instructor, but no harm can
result If they are gradually pursued In
the order given. Weak backs may be pre
vented by them and cured. Rectal
troubles and other organic difficulties are
overcome by their use.
Stand upright with the feet rather well
together. Have a feeling call It a "men
tal Me" If you are a man of breathing
up the arms by a strong inhalation; ex.
pand well the chest by throwing the arms
over the head, then out, and with this
energy transferred to the tonso, bend
gently and slowly back. As the muscles
of the back' grow stronger throw alter
nately each leg bafkw-ard and bend the
spinal column very deliberately back as
the ballet girls are tiaught to do, always
avoiding extremes. Then with a forward
movement of arms and torso relax en
tirely, let both fail forward of their own
weight. The rest from tension with the
body In this position gives a delicious
sensation of complete rest. ' ' ' 1
Bend itheni to the right with the left arm
thrown up, the left toe poised to hold ..
for an Instant that side in slight strain;
so with the other side. - . .
Finally, standing upright with hips and
arms (at sides) Immovable, screw ' the
tonso and shoulders very ftowly from the
