By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright.
New York, March 2. The through \ expresses between New York and Chicago have been equipped with Marconi instruments, and maintain constant communication with the various stations and with each other during the journey.
Developments in wireless telegraphy are taking place very rapidly in America. World-wide attention to the possibilities of wireless telegraphy has been directed by the messages sent from the stricken White Star liner Republic on January 23. The operators in San Francisco talk with their fellows in the Hawaiian Islands as a matter of course. A few weeks ago a message from Japan was "picked up" by a San Francisco operator. The distance between the two countries^ is 5761".'miles. With wireless telegraphy in its infancy, one wonders what the next decade will bring forth.
