WIRELESS TELGRAPHY.
SUGGESTED CONNECTION OF FAN- . NING ISLAND AND HONOLULU.
DrntßDOf, April 21. Sir Joseph Ward has received a cablegram from the Agent-General informing him that in the opinion of such an eminent authority as Lord Kelvin, it is practicable to connect Fanning Island and Honolulu by wireless telegraphy, a distance of about 1000 miles. Sir Joseph Ward replied that New Zealand would take no hasty action, and that in •view of the remarkable development of wireless telegraphy a waiting policy in order to ascertain whether it could be successfully established over such a distance would be followed. Sir Joseph points out that a deep sea cable over the distance would cost £200,000, while Marconi instruments could be installed for a few hundreds.
