A NEW INTENTIONAL system of r..
Il. telegraphy has been perfected by
Lucius j. Phelps by which moving
trains can be kept in telegra phic COM
munication with any station. The test
was made recently upon train on the
Harlem River road with perfect success.
A bunch Of wires is laid in covered
pine trough fastened in the center of the
track to the ties. These are stationary
and to them is connected the instrument
at the station. In the baggage car of
the moving train is another instrument
connected with wires which pass along
the under surface of the car within a
foot of and directly above the stationary
wires. As the car moves along at any
rate of speed, communication with the
station can be kept up by induction be-
tween the wires. This is said to be as
clear as if both instruments were sta
tionary. This idea was originated by a
Milwaukee man, Mr.. S. Il. Ellithorpe,
but was perfected by Mr.. Phelps, who
gets the credit of the invention.

Alarm, In aritiah coiumb,a,,.'

The people Of British Columbia are said to
be in high state Of alarm on the prospects
Of a war between England and Russia. At
Victoria companies Of citizens are drilling
nightly, and two cannon have beer; mounted
in position to put daylight through whoevor
may appear with hostile purpose Many
people have sent their movable yaluables
to Port Townsend, or Seattle, Wash and
are themselves prepared to take to the woods
in case Of attack. The exposed position Of
Victoria affords serious grounds for fear.
The city lies within easy gunshot from the sea,
and would afford fine days sport for the
Russian feet which is now in Chinese waters
Just now there ia but single ship at Esqui-
mault harbor capable Of defensive work, and
it could do nothing to beat off the whole Rus
sian fleet This situation is perfectly well
known to the Russian commander in China, and
his first movement on the announce
dent Of war, it is expected, will be to set sail
for Victoria It is generally feared that if the
city is found defenseless, or nearly 80, heavy
tribute would be demanded, and if it be not
forthcoming it will be battered to the ground
The citizens of New Westminster are quite as
badly scared as the Victoria people. Not q
few, it is said, are prepared to move over on
United States soil at the first alarm.
