Wireless Messages From Cape Bre-
TON to Cornwall.

London, Dec. 23.-The second edition
Of the Times prints the text of a wire
less Marconi message received from
the Canadian government, as follows:
Ottawa, Dec. 21.-The government
Of Canada, through the Times, desires
10 congratulate the British people on
lie accomplishment by Marconi of the
greatest feat modern science has yet
Achieved"
The representatives of Marconi say
They have been receiving transatlantic
messages for a week. They add that
The messages Ito King Edward and
others came through without a hitch
and practically instantaneously. It is
calculated that the company will be
able to handle 1000 words per hour
AS soon as it is able to get the post
office authorities to correct Poldhu
with the Inland telegraph the COM
pany will commence regular CONNER
eial business between Cornwall and
Nova Scotia.
Marconi has expressed mild salts
faction with the results recently OBJ
tanned, but the manager here said the
inventor was always so sure he would
be able to achieve his aim that they
did not expect him to be enthusiastic.
Marconi is going to Cape Cod, where
his apparatus only needs slight ad-
justment before it will be ready to be
linked up with Poldhu, which at pres
ent is the only wireless station on this
| side capable of receiving transatlantic
messages. Other stations will shortly
! be built on the Continent.
Rome, Dec. 23.-King Victor EN-
manuel has received a wireless mes
sage from Marconi, forwarded from
Cape Breton, via Cornwall, and sent &
congratulatory reply.

The blockade Of the Venezuelan
coast will continue until definite ar
rangement for arbitration has been
reached. Germany will be well sat
isfied If President Roosevelt under
takes the task. His acceptance would
be considered sufficient guarantee
that Venezuela would pay if she lost.

trate was the emperor's suggestion.
