WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
SIR JOSEPH WARD DECLARES FOR WAITING POLICE.
(By Telegraph.—Tress Association.) Dunedin, last night. Sir Joseph Ward has received a cablegram from the Agent-General, informing him that in the opinion of such an eminent authority as Lord Ilelvin, it was practicable to connect Fanning Island and Honolulu by wireless telegraphy, a distance of about a thousand miles. Sir Joseph replied that New Zealand would take no hasty action, and that in view of the remarkable developments of wireless telegraphy, a waiting policy in order to ascertain whether it could be successfully established over such a distance would be followed. Sir Joseph points out that a deep sea cable over the distance would cost ;£200,000, while the Marconi instruments could be installed for a few hundreds.
