A DAILY PAPER AT SEA.
SUCCESS ON CAMPANIA.
Narconi Tells of Great Cost of Long
Messages to Land.

Fresh from work that has made daily paper
possible in mid sea. William Marcon arrived yes
terday on the Caupania. He went to the Holland
House When seen last night he said that the
cost OF installing plant sufficient to maintain con-
slant wireless communication with the shore on the
transatlantic steamers SO great as 20 be prac-
tcally prohibtve. According TO the inventor the
cost Of such service is $4,000 which he fears
is greater than the steamship companies will be
willing pay.
Marconi places little credence in the report that
the United States Government is 10 assume or to
attempt 10 control OF the wireless telegraph
stations in this country
Neither this government" he said nor any
other government will ever control wireless teleg-
raphy while am alive do not believe that this
government has any intention OF trying 10 attempt
such thing I think that all the stories that It is
to do anything OF the sort newspaper yarns.
"All the chief transatlantic steamship lines with
the exception of the White Star Line have in
stalled my wireless Geographic apparatus. I don't
know why the White Star Line is holding back as
il IS, unless il is simply looking for Il chance to
pay more money 10 me AS all the other lines are
equipped. it is becoming more and more indis-
pensable to thai line. but the longer IT delays in
equipping its boats. the more it will have to pay
for the apparatus
Il had four different instruments board the
Campania, but used only one of them obtain the
news for the new daily paper. The instrument as
yet has specific title but might be called the
improved MarcOni apparatus, 20 distinguish it from
the others. Beyond saving that II not mag
netic detector do not to anything de-
scribing the new apparatus.
TO maintain constant communication with the
shore at all times during voyage requires an ap-
paIatus OF exceptionally high power. costing more
than s25Oo for each vessel This IS practically
prohibitive for the present at least, as think
that the steamship companies scarcely ready at
the present time for such outlay
