New Post and Telegraph regulations provide that subscribers to telephone exchanges and owners of private lines connected with telephone bureaux may, by prea'rrangement in writing with the telegraph office, have telegraphic messages which are addressed to them forwarded by telephone from the office of destination to their business or private addresses. Such messages will, after transmission, be posted for delivery to such address, and be marked on the front "Transmitted by telephone."

When the sender of a telegram desires that it be transmitted to the addressee by telephone, the sender shall pay a fee of 3d for the telephoning, in addition to the prescribed rates for urgent or ordinary telegrams (as the case may be), and the words "To bo telephoned" shall be inserted in the place reserved for such ininstructions. Thereupon such telegram, upon arrival at the telegraph nffico of destination, shall be forthwith telephoned through the telephone exchange to the addressee, if such ad-di-ossee is a subscriber to that exchange; and in other respects the provisions made for the transmission of telegrams to addressees through telephone exchanges at their own request shall, as far as applicable, apto such telegram.
