Treasury Department Recon-.
mends Closing Of Worthless
and Expensive Institutions.

Washington. July 2O,-Authorities of
the treasury department have repeatedly
directed the attention Of congress TO the
useless and extravagant maintenance Of
certain custom houses throughout this
country and have urged that these GUS
tom houses be closed or the compensa-
tion of the collectors be commensurate
with the receipts.
Auditor Andrews, OF the department in
his annual report issued today. recon-
mends that the matter be brought to the
attention OF congress again so that the
extravagant expenditure can be stopped.
A few instances will show the unre-
munerative feature OF some Of the Gus
tom houses.
Customs receipts at the port OF va
quina, Ore, have averaged annually for
the last FIVE years forty cents To col
lect this forty cents each year costs the
government 1,034.70.

annually S256 to collect them.

lection OF customs at Kennebunk. Me-,

To collect $50 last year the govern
ment paid the collector at Albemarle, n.
c., $1,000. The salary for an assistant
and the expenses OF the Office ran the
total expenses for the year up TO 1891. 9S.
Although at Annapolis, Md. the re-
ceipts annually have averaged s4.40 more
than at Albemarle, the salary, of tho coll
lector at the former point is only $3.50.
but the total expenditure Cot collecting
this S.. 20 last year amounted TO sll55
The collector at Cherrystone. Va. has

ceived for his services and expenses Of

TALL TOWERS TO Be R,zEO

New York, July 2o-Marconi will return
TO this country next month TO revolution
ize wireless telegraphy. IL was said yes
terday at the office OF the Marconi COM
pany. No. "a William street, that until
the arrival OF the inventor the details
OF the new system could not be made pup
lie.
IL Is known that the changes will be
more radical, and IL is expected that the
tall towers, the most cumbrous part or
the present system, will be dispensed With
and that the visible means OF sa- uniea-
will be greater than ever
We do not like TO talk about these
things in the absence OF Mr.. Marconi.
II does not look well 10 shout before the
thing is an acknowledged fact. IL can
be said. however. that the new system
will be a remarkable Improvement over
the old. and for such a short period since
the discovery OF wireless telegraphy IL
will make a new record In the advance
ment OF an invention.
THE contract with the London Times
will be carried out with the tall towers
now in use at Cape COD. Mass; Cape
Breton. N. s.. and Poldhu. Wales, but

country is for the purpose of carrying 1t
out.
1T will not be done in two weeks. as
skipping from wave to wave, as also pub
lished. Other than that i cannot give
any details at this time, but the removal
of the tall towers is most proba
In speaking OF the publication OF news
papers aboard ships Marconi's associates
say the only practical plan now possible
is the transmission OF news from either
shore to an approaching or departing ship
not more than $50 miles from the shore
station. This Is because the instrumeNs
on steamships are not powerful enough
TO keep In touch with the mainland for
any longer distance.
resentatives, this will be changed so
either with the western or the eastern
shore during the entire passage We ex-
pect that rapid strides will be made, and
Mr.. Marconi's temperance is awaited
with deep interest He Is the shining
light Of the wireless world and we
simply reflect the light when II is turned
this way"
Electricians generally are pleased with
the report that the clumsy tower system
is to be abandoned. as II has been re-
garded as temporary makeshift the
pictures OF which would be laughed at
In few years. AS a result OF the new
discovery the Marconi plants at Cape
