WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
Prosesdings at ths Congress. London, Nov. 4,
At the Wireless Telegraphy Congress the British delegates, while agreeing to the general principle of the interchange ol ethergrams, secured the passage of a resolution providing for the right of every country to exempt_ certain stations from the obligation of maintaining compulsory communications.
Great Britain restricts herself to reasonable provision for the exchange of messages between the ships and the land. A resolution was submitted by the American delegates making intercommunication between ships and ships compulsory. This was carried, despite Great Britain’s op* position on the grounds that it was impracticable, and that it was alsa an improper restriction on individual rights. Britain, however, carried a resolution making the American motion a separate article in the agreement, to which the signatory Powers are not necessarily compelled to adhere. The treaty will come into operation as from July, 1908.
