ing meeting to-day. The committee ap-
pointed at the last meeting to examine the
pests injecting trees and the remedies, re-
ported that they had not sufficient informa.
ton upon which they could form any ecis-
ion, and were instructed to continue their
Investigations during the year and report
from time to time. One member stated that

he had applied petroleum to his trees with
good effect. The Society agreed to the reso-

he would give him the time the following
day, it being measuring day. at which
Walters went off, apparently satisfied The
next morning, as Superintendent Williams
and Major Burns wero entering the tunnel,
Wallace approached Williams, and in au ir-
ritable manner demanded his time Will
| Jams informed him that he could not have it
until the measure was completed, whereupon
Williams and Burns stepped aboard the cars
and proceeded to the face of the tunnel, two
miles distant. Shortly after they arrived
there, Walters appeared upon the scene,
worked up to terrible passion, with a
cooked revolver IN ono hand and knife in
the other Covering Williams with the
former, he said: "D--n you, give me nav
time, or you are deal man" Mr.. Burns
interposed, whereupon Walters thrust the
revolver into his face and said. You want
some of it, too, do you? Another word, and
I'll blow your brains out, toon lie then ad-

were confined in a narrow portion of the

Considering discretion the better part of
valor. Williams beat hasty retreat 10 the
mouth of the tunnel under cover of Walters
revolver. After giving Walters his time,
Williams sent Immediately to this city for /,
warrant for his arrest. Deputy Sheriff Wool

the same. Upon approaching Walters the
latter cut and run. Woolery ordered him to
stop several times, and finally fred over his
head, whereupon Walters wheeled about and
fired at Woolery, the ball striking Woolery's
side under the coat and passing out behind,
just grazing the skin. Woolery returned the
shot, when a second shot from Walters struck
him in the arm, at the wrist, coming out
near the elbow. Woolery, being fast run
ner, had by this time almost got within
reach of Walters, when Walters dropped the
revolver and, drawing his knife. made lunge
at Woolery, and Woolery warded off the
bloY and responded by dealing Walters
blow over the head with his revolver, which
felled him to the ground. Woolery now dis
armed and ironed him, and proceeded back

BRITISH COLUMBIA.
Ifcms from Victoria.

VICTORIA, April 26th.-The Colonist cor.
respondent at Takon writes despsiringly from
the new mines. He says: The excitement
about the Takon mines is gradually subsid-
ing, and none of the old miners have much
confidence in them. About 20 or so men are
reported to be on the spot, but as the ice has
not yet let go its hold Of TIE ground very
little has been done. The quartz-bearing
vein is said to be very thin, and as it is not
expected that surface digaings will be found,
there is little or no inducemsnt for single
men without capital to visit that far off place.
Several traders and miners have taken up
claims at Takop, intending to secure the
"biz" there. The present aspect of things,
however, is not sufficiently encouraging for
them to do so for time therefore they will
remain at Wrangel or return to their old
locations at Cassiar.
The Commander-in- Chief Of the Pacific
Station, Rear-Admiral Stirling, will shortly
meet Captain Arthur, naval aitache of the
Washington Embassy, at San Francisco, to
confer with that officer as to the strengthens
ing of Vancouver Island. in view of possible
hostilities with foreign nations, who could
utilize the harbor of San Francisco as base
of operations against British interests on the
Pacific coast. Captain Arthur was formerly
Captain of the torpedo ship Vernon.
The Triumph may arrive here sometime in
June.
The Admiralty are notified that the de-
tached squadron under the command of Rear
Admiral, the Right Hon. the Earl of Clair
William, C. B., viii leave the Cape of Good
Hope about March 31st for Singapore. 1t
will arrive in August.
Papers for the extradition of the Russian
murderer, Masse, were received from WASH
ington last evening. The wretched man,
who is in confinement in the Jail, will be de-
Iivered to the American officer tomorrow.

tate for the amendment of Mr.. Baker 'sproyidets
that the municipality shall eonstisste a separate-

TRANSPORTING SOUND INTO LIGHT
NJ. Trieve has described to the French
Academy of Sciences an experiment with
an apparatus which he calls a singing con-
denser, by which he believes he effects the
Transformation OF sound into light. When
current of electricity is brought to bear
upon his condenser, sound is produced,
which he attributes to the vibrations of
the air in the condenser, produced by the
shock of the electric current. Reversing
this experiment, he placed the condenser
in Geissler tube, and brought the two
poles of the electric current to bear upon
the condenser through the electrodes of
the table. The tube was then connected
with an air-pump. The condenser sounded
as usual when the current was directed to
it under the ordinary atmospheric pres
sure but, when the air was withdrawn,
the sound became more and more feeble,
until, as vacuum was produced, it ceased
entirely, and clear, bright light appeared,
spark ling like pearls, from the leaves of
the condenser-quite unlike the ordinary
pale, vague light of the Geissler tubes.
