After the first 10 words the charges will increas< at a rate, per word instead of per 10 words, anc 25 words as hitherto. With a view to curtailing addresses which are 'now frequently unnecessarily long, and seriously , impede the progress of business, the address and signature of all Telegrams will be charged, ii fact, all matter written and presented foi transmission by the sender of any Telegram will be charged at the tariff "Instructions as to the delivery of Telegrams, whether bj post, special messenger, boat, oi otherwise will be telegraphed by the officer in r charge of any station, to the receiving station free of expense to the sender of the Telegram. These instructions together with the charges made, will be written on the back of the Telegram and signed by the sender.
