The last mes sage out of Peking, to reach London, left there yesterday morning at 1 1 a. m. going by way of the j Russian telegraph through Manchuria, "the Tien Tsin line being cut. It is as follows: "General Tung.a Mohammendan, ex tremely hostile to foreigners, arrived here this morning and had a longaudi ence with Prince Tuan, father of the heir apparent, who is seemingly friend ly to the Boxers. Prince Tuan has been appointed chief of the foreign "office over Prince Ching who is more friend ly toward the foreigners.'; , "A dispatch of more marines was in response to a telegram from the minis ters to the consuls at Tien; Tsin for additional troops. Conveyances have left Peking to meet the troops coming by the first train, i . --The arrival of the Empress Dowager lias rendered the city somewhat more quiet than it had .-jbecn recently. The Protestants have erected a barricade be fore the building ! in which they have taken refuge, and I they have a small guard. The Catholics are concentrated north of the Cathedral under" the pro tection of the French guard of twenty five men. who will hold out to the end. I am convinced that Peking, especially the Tartar city, is safe. "At Tien Tsin the viceroy finally con sented to furnish transport ior.the re lief force of 400 under an American commander. A partial restoration of the railway is expected to be effected tomorrow. More massacres of Chris tians are reported. i; "Shanghai, under today's date, e ' ports that there has been street fight ing in Peking since early Sunday af ternoon", j The 'Russians are. i- making large purchases of canned provisions at Shanghai, and everything points to an outbreak of hostilities.

The Shanghai correspondent of the Daily Telegraph,! says: ''Report from thc Unnan Fit district say that the French minister has tele graphed that a crisis is knnvincnUand that he i advising all foreigners to evacuate Yung Nan." ; Lv AH telegrams indicate "that the situi tion has not in the least improved. On the contrary, the' disorders have spread from the neighborhood of Peking to the capitol Useli. which is growing turbulent in anti-foreign demonstrations. Two thousand internationar troops are approaching thel city and the advance guard is due to arrive today (Tuesday). The Russian minister at Peking, who also acts as envoy of Denmark, is cred ited with having sen! a dispatch to the Dani-Ji foreign office to the effect, that a demonstration has been planned un der the leadership f England and Rus sia, in -which all the great powers and several of the smaller will take part SENDING MORE TROOPS.

The snag had torn an ugly hole in the Ixrat through- which the water rushed at a fearful rate caus ing -her to sink swiftly and surely; f The crew of the steamer, together with the passengers, made their escape from the sinking vessel, without injury, but the cargo about forty to fifty tons of freight is in rhe bold of the ; Gypsy and is, of course, under water. ; ; The cargo contained 100 barrels of flour from the Sidney mills consigned to the Sidney Flouring Mills Co.. in this city; there was also a quantity of oats from 'Corvallis. and probablv some flour from Fisher's Corvallis iMflls and from the Benton- County Flouring Mills at the same place.

Tlie Modoc will proceed to Corvallis. and return down to the wreck this eve ning, when she wilt be, temporarily, taken off her schedule, it is reported, and remain at the scene of the mishap, and assist in raising her wrecked sister boat. It could not be ascertained last night, just how extensive the damages sustained were, but it is believed 'that the cost of making repairs, after the boat is raised will not be very large, and that, in the course of a few weeks, the Gypsy will again run on ther . regular schedule. : ! .

She looks decrepit, but. in fact, her general health is excellent, her vital ity is extraordinary, and her mind is keen and vigorous. Among insurance experts her life is regarded even now as a safer risk than that of her son, the Prince of Wales, j , She has horn and reared many chil dren. She has suffered many sorrows. . t . i-.t -'-rtfA haft fovernea Sne lias noi whij m."-. c as far as any modern ;BriUh monarch mar. tor wen om nnj jw- more than lourscorc c -w... out.

We have done better intellect ual work than eyer fcefore, and these have been tte times of tea coffee, to- "oci-Ui ana aiconoi. vv nat can you make of that? Again, I iay, follow your instincts. ; - 1 Queen Victoria's robust health and great age are facts that those who con stantly seek to put restraints upon fou mart desires and natural instincts should endeavor to explain. Tea, coffee, and alcoholic beverages are denounced by "iaoy lanaucs as latau yueen Victoria nas always used, and still uses, all three in moderation, because she likes them. It is not known that she ever used to bacco, but she does not discouraee ks use laraong those who like it.

Which of the confloctcrs of "health foods." advocates of vegetarian diet,1, tremblers before germs, and devotees of sterilized water and milk can equal her record? The examples of Queen Victoria and other persons who - have attained to great age"in spite of lives crowded with work simply prove that length of life depends not' on the ascetic or scientific regulation ' of natural desires and lik ings. The old saying. "One , man's meat is another s poison, -contains a solid truth. Experience and reason teach the average man what he anay use and from what he must abstain. But the essential secret of longevity given a good con stitution as a foundation is that what ever manner of life may be found. ra tional; and pleasing shall be lived for the; joy and there is in it.

Minnie, - N ot i 1 it . a tut t Only at the Wil. Stiff corsets are unknown in France. French corsets are always supple and bcndable, andj this inucli accounts for the ease of J'jrench figures, which are never tightened excepting at the waist, leaving the bust and 4vips anile free. In England the figure is usually tightened in too much at the bust nnd hips, which gives too straight: a look to the figure' and makes it stiff and uncomfortable,, movement being rendered .ungraceful by this stiffness. . -Let any girl tryto lace her stays only at the waist, and let her select her stays, as soft fcml light as possible, and then see if hefr figure -be not as grace ful in shape ind as' elastic as the -most graceful and clastic French figure. No tight straight-down even lacing will ever make a pretty figure: . If the. corset cannot be made cx-j pressly to suit the figure, then let it be laced only in the middle at Ahc waist. lEvcn jthcn no real corset sifould be worn by girls until they arc well in their teens- 'Remember, the softer the corset is thejeasier.it will be, and the tighter it may be laced at the 'waist without feeling uncomfortable. This is the only way to mould the figure, it is said, without injuring the health. . It JVVlll jSurprlse You Try it. It is the jmedicine above all others for catarr4 and is worth its weight in gold.
