PAYMENT FOR PANAMA BONDS
Secretary Shaw Issues Statement Answer
ing Questions

Washington, July 1s.-Secretary Shaw to-day
issued the following statement:
So many requests have been made to-day
personally, by mail, and by wire-for informa-
ton concerning the time when payment must
be made for Panama bonds purchased at the
forthcoming sale, that the following statement
seems appropriate:
The circular advertisement contains the state
ment that bidders will be instructed as 90 the
time on which payment is desired to be made
The bonds must. OF course, be paid for on de-
mand. and bidders may. IL they desire, pay inn
mediately If the bonds are not paid for i'm
mediately the bidders will be required to pay
accrued interest Should any purchaser desire
to use any portion OF the purchased bonds as a
basis for circulation payment may be deferred
at least on a portion thereof. until the notes can
be printed In such cases the order for the cur
rency must be placed at once. and the premium
advanced on the bonds. The accrued interest
can be paid when the bonds placed with the
Treasurer as security for circulation. The ex-
tent to which this privilege can be wisely granted
will denend upon the amount Of bonds that may
be desired as basis for circulation.

WIRELESS ON PACIFIC COAST.
Navy Building Stations from Cape Flattery
TO San Diego.

Washington, July 1s-soon the United States
Navy will have the Pacific Coast equipped with
wireless stations as the Atlantic Coast is now
equipped, so that messages may be received at
some stations either day night Wireless sta
tions have been completed and equipped at San
Diego, Arquello. Tarralona and Mare Island.
Faralona is just outside of San Francisco Har-
Dor, and the station was located there in order
10 have the communication over sea as much
as possible from one station to the other. Sta
tions are now being constructed at Table Bluff,
Cape Blanco, North Head and Cape Flattery.
The stations are from 100 to 21O miles apart, and
when they are all erected and the apparatus in
stalled 1t will be possible 20 communicate the
whole length OF the Pacific Coast either in the
day night
II has been found that, owing 20 electric con-
ditions the wireless is less efficient in the day
than in the night, and stations must be neces-
sariy nearer in order to secure efficiency at all
times Any ship sailing along the Pacific Coast
