LONDON. June U. 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. A1I British mis
sionaries wilt probably be ordered to
reHirn ouickly to the treaty ports."
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph,! says:

the contrary, the' disorders have spread
from the neighborhood of Peking to

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

The steamer Gypsy, one of the Wil
lamette river fleet , of the O, R. ,&;N.
Co., running on the - river above this
city and doing a general carrying "busi
ness, met with a dire disaster at I
o'clock, yesterday afternoon, when corn,
ing down stream on -her regular trip,
by running onto a submerged snag two
miles below Independence, and within
three minutes : from the time the boat
struck the obstruction she sank in ten
feet of water. 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. ' ?
Master Shipbuilder Carson, of the O
R. & N. Co. came up from Portland
on last evening's tArbany local. . and.
boarding the company's stframer jModoc
here, proceeded to the scene of the
wreck to prepare fof raising the Gypsy.
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. : ! . ' ; r l . . ' T H ; '

HOW THE QUEEN LIVES LONG.
Queen Victoria was 81 years old last
month. 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.

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

consumes wine and malt liquors regu

and is in some ways the, most Capable
statesman of her reahn. 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.

- "Eagleton came to this district eight
years ago, and was engaged during all
that time in prospecting ani iwn ng,
except during the six mourns prcceuiirj
his -death. w4ien he was a partner of Mr.
Paul Wilson in "the livery ousineii.-
"The deceased owned a number 01
good prospects in this district, as we.l
as one-rhird interest tr 80 acres ot land
immediately adjoining the new and
growing town of Lawton. and on the
day of the fatal affray -he had just pur
chaed ground a Alaimo. with the in
tention of engaging in the livery busi
ress at that point. '
"Tom Eagleton was a man who was
esteemed and beloved by all with whom
he came in contact, a typical i!g-heart-
A vtiwnr. who always scorned a
dirty deed or low action, atvl whose
gcnfTOsity was proverbiaL '
"Onlv mm tlav before his death he
picked tip a yotmjr fellow who had
strayed into camp looking for a brother,
Tom found he was broke, and in rag.
Eagletow bought him a new -suit of
clothes. Wlien the brother' whereabouts
was ascertained, Tom bought me
yourm fellow a traveling ticket and
sent fcim away, with $S in his pocket.
"The trouble which ended in ICaglc
ton's death Iegan on the day Eagleton
sold hit interest in the livery business,
when with a few friends he dropped
into the place where Keeton and Turn
er were employed, and a few sharp
wcds were exchanged over a bet.
Nothing further was thought or the
nafter urrtil later in the evening, when
meeting 'Eagleton in another place.
Turner applied to Eagleton an oppro
hrtous name, at the same time kicking
Ton in the face. A Cight ensued in
which Eagleton bested lurner andj
made him retract ms words. . r
"The men were then separated by
friends, and nothing serions was appre
hended by Eagleton' s ' friends unlit tie
stepped out on the porch, where he -was
h:t over the head by a gun in the hands
of Turner... Eagleton pushed his as
sailant off the porch and ran into the
house, where he was among friends.
"Next day word as irought to
Eagleton that Turner and Keeton, who
for seme reason' had taken up Turner'
quarrel, were looking for him with in
tent to kill iiimi
'"Eagleton remained near the house
until the morning of tlx 224, when he.
stepped across he street o irreet his
brother tMikc, who had just come in on
the stage. - '
"Evidence gix-en beforer the Coroner's
jury proved that Turner and Keeton
walked across the street and deliberate'

OF, THE CORSET.

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. .
