Referring to the reported arrangements in Chefoo and Chinwangtao for wireless telegraphy with Port Arthur, the Tokio "Asahi" observed that Russia thereby was herself nullifying her recent declaration that wireless telegraphy was contraband of war. In any case, the wireless telegraphy is being freely used in the present war and the opinion ist held in naval circles here that some international ralings must be established for the use of wireless telegraphy in war time. According to the latest intimation I have received, the wireless telegraphic arrangements in Chinwangtao are not yet completed and operations have not so far gone on.
