STATIONS IN BRITAIN. AGREEMENT WITH MARCONIS. (Press Association —By Telegraph— C opyright ) LONDON, March 7. Sir William Mitchell-Thomson (Post-master-general), in answer to a question in the House of Commons, said that beam wireless stations in Britain were constructed by Marconis under an agreement providing for payment by the Government in a lump sum, and a royalty of 64 percent. on all receipts as long as the stations contain valid Marconi patents. The messages sent or received via the beam for the week ended February 26 numbered : India 15,182, South Africa 8516, Australia 7130, and Canada 4666. Tire statistics of traffic by cable routes were unavailable, bat it was evident that the total cable and wireless traffic with the dominions was now considerably greater than prior to the beam services.—A. and N.Z. and Sydney Sun Cable.
