MARCONI SAYS HE HAS NO TROUBLE WHATEVER.
IS SOON TO ACCEPT BUSINESS
Storms and Gales no Menace to Him and He Claims His Achievement is Complete.
SYDNEY, N. S., Dec. 29.—-"You ask me when'I first felt absolutely certain that transcontinental wrieless telegraphy was practicable? '"Well, since my achievement at St. Johns, N. F., last winter, I have never for one moment doubted the practicability of my undertaking. But on November 9, the day on which the warship Carlo Alberto steamed up Sydney harbor, I paid my first visit to the Table Head station since the erection of the towers, and if I ever needed encouragement it was given to me on that day. for I "had hardly stepped inside the power house when I heard three faint dots, signifying the letter 'S.' as they were faintly ticked by my receiver. Three dots were repeated twice, and each Successive time they became louder. This was the signal I nad agreed upon with my operator at Cornwall, and although I received nothing more at that time, I was assured of the success of the Table Head station, or, in other words, of transoceanic wireless communication between Cornwall and Table Head."
Showing no traces of the mental and physical strain he lias undergone during the past month, Mr. Marconi sat in the reception room at the Table Head station this afternoon, and for the first time since he arrived at Cape Breton consented to talk about his achievements. Although guarded in his statements, he was willing to give a bare outline of the "work he has accomplished at Table Head and his plans for the future. "Yesl,- it was only the letter 'S' I received on the day of my arrival in Cape Breton, but as it is quite as easy to receive a dash as a dot, and as dots and dashes form words in the Morse code, it would have been just about as easy at that time to get a word or two as to get the letter 'S,' "Yes, after thftt we commenced to install new machinery, and, in fact, we have been making improvements and strengthening our signals ever since, and we will continue to do so." "When was the first message transmitted across the Atlantic? "Yes, the transmission was first done from the Cornwall side and the first messages from this side were to the Icings of England and Italy. "'We have received messages every day since. There has been no break at all in the transmission. Messages have been sent from here during the last day-or two to the queen of Italy, Empress Eugenie, Sir John Lane, Heniker Heaton, M. P., the Italian minister of marine, and the directors of the London Marconi company."
Mr. Marconi stated that storms and gales had no effect whatever on the transmission of messages. There had been gales and stormB the greater part of time since he arrived here, but they had not in the ieast interfered with the worh. The wireless service is pretty well established in all parts of the world now there are very few countries where tnere are no stations. Of course, there are other wireless companies, but the most they can do is to experiment. "Yes, I believe the wireless development has just commenced, but its opportunities are unbounded. I expect we will be ready for commercial business at Cape Cod and Table Head within a few months. "Yes, we are under contract not to charge more than 10 cents a word for ordinary messages, and not more than 5 cents a word for press "messages, and I hope we will be able to do it for less.
