AGAINST REGULATIONS.
Acting Secretary Darling's Order Con
corning Certain Practices.

Acting Secretary Darling has issued a
sre cial order designed to discourage the
practice of using influence for effecting
legislation or departmental action, in which
he says:
1T having come to the knowledge Of the
department that demands have been made
upon persons in the naval service for the
payment of compensation to agents or at
torneys for services, real or supposed, in
connection with congressional legislation
attention is called to the last clause of
article 252 of the navy regulations, which
provides
No person belonging to the navy or
employed in the Navy Department shall .
attempt to influence legislation in re-
spect to the navy without the express au-
thcrity or approval of the department Any
violation of the provisions of this article
will be noted in the record of the person
concerned
1.-THE purpose of this circular is not only
to discountenance a prctice deemed preju-
dicial to the best interests of the navy and
Objectionable on grounds of public policy
but also to protect officers well as men
from demands made by persons represent
ing that they have rendered or may be
able to render service in connection with
pending proposed legislation. Com
handing officers having knowledge of any
attempt to collect money from persons in
the navy for the purpose herein referred to
will make prompt report thereon"

WIRELESS TELEGRAPH CONTROL.
Discussion Interesting to Army and
Navy Officers.

The discussion which has arisen over
the control of wireless telegraph has be-
come interesting to army and navy officers
especially since the report of the navy
general board in favor of giving to the
navy control of wireless systems landing
in the United States. 1t is claimed that
this is necessary as otherwise there will
be interference of commercial systems
with the reports from naval vessels. Gen.
Greedy, chief signal officer, has received a
dispatch from an officer Of his corps who
has been experimenting with wireless tele-
graph between Fort Schuyler in New York
harbor and Fort Wright near the upper
entrance of Long Island sound. This Of
ficer says that he has "syntonized" the
system he Is using SO that 1t is working
well at a distance of ninety-seven miles
and without interference from any OF the
systems that are being used In the same
vicinity.
Gen. Greedy has given directions to have
the wireless stations. which have been
successfully used on Puget sound, taken
to Nome and ST. Michael, Alaska, in order
to establish communication between those
points. The freezing of the sea in the bay
has rendered cable service between these
points impracticable.
