Shanghai Wireless Station.
The n. C. Daily News publishes a
letter from a traveller on one of the
Canadian Pacific Mail steamers
(among the pioneers, by the way, in
wireless telegraphy upon
vessels voyaging in the Far EasD VINO
is not unnaturally enraged at not be-
ing able to get into communication
with Shanghai, at 200 miles distance.
Our contempary says the answer to
this complaint is that the wireless in
stallation at Shanghai has a radius of
only 140 miles. But with regard to
the statement that the steamer was
unable to get into touch with Shang-
hal even at only ninety miles range,
an explanation is more difficult. Pos
sibly the Chinese operator was not
at his post From inquiries made, it
would appear that the charge of in
efficiency is not supported by facts
as all the operators are trained for
months before taking charge of this
particular apparatus, and the foreign
officials of the Chinese Telegraphs
have expressed the opinion that they
make quite capable operators.
This, however, does not dispose OF
/ the whole complaint. Two years ago
when the dispute arose in connection
with the Palace Hotels wireless tele
graphic installation, it was certainly
I implied, if not actually undertaken as
/ a part of the arrangement by which
the hotels apparatus was withdrawn
that the Ministry of Posts and Tele
/ igraphs was about to install an eXten
isive system of wireless stations all
