Press Association—By Telegraph— Copyright. BRITISH WIRELESS POLICY. LONDON, May 21. (Received May 22, at 12.30 p.m.) In the House of Commons the Postmas-ter-General (Mr V. Hartshorn), replying to a question, said that he was still unable to state the policy of the Government in respect to the development of wireless telegraphy in Britain, but there would be no avoidable delay in arriving at a decision. The delay was partly due to the negotiations with the Marconi Company in regard to an Empire wireless chain, and partly owing to the communications witi the dominions being thus far incomplete.—Renter. INDIAN TEMPLE TROUBLE. DELHI, May 21. (Received May 22, at 12.30 p.m.) In connection with the Tarakesh incident, when the Official Receiver attempted to take possession of an old Hindu temple venerated throughout Bengal he found the way barred "by hundreds of prostrate women, who surrounded the building, so that he was unable to pass. The police were summoned, but owing to the vigilance of the devotees their aid was unavailing. The authorities have now laid siege to the temple and its priestly occupants. Police reinforcements have been sent and trouble is anticipated.—Sydney ' Sun ' Cable.
