TO HARNESS THE WIRELESS.

Bills have been introduced in both
branches of congress 10 require all
ocean passenger steamers 10 equip
themselves with wireless telegraphic
apparatus. These measures affect
American vessels only. But they
would forbid entrance TO American
ports TO all foreign passenger ships
unless they carried the wireless
equipment. Naturally. the United
States has made the first move in
that direction for II was on our
coast that the wreck took place
which brought out the value of this
apparatus as a life saver. The OBJ
ject, however, is TO induce the other
maritime countries 10 cooperate
with MS in this movement.
Naturally, the great maritime and
commercial bodies In the Atlantic
seaports promptly rose to the i'm
portance of the utilization of this
telegraphic system. The New York
Produce exchange -as the first OF
these bodies to express itself. The
bills in congress have been referred
