London, Yesterday. Replying to a contention that he was favouring American Inter- ests, Mr. Lees Smith explained that there ware only two com panies for
contracts, these Marconi and Standard. The lat ter, which was American, employ- ed 7,000 Britons. and there was no reason for excluding it from the tenders. The question was automatically dropped at private business time.--Reuter.

ney.
Subsequently, Marconi trans- mitted on a small power unit to Sydney an order to close the clr- cuit, thus lighting electric lamps nt the exhibition.
A Sydney message says Mar- coni's experiment of switching on the lights was most successful..
The signals from his yacht were picked up at Dorchester and flashed by beam from Grimsby to Australia, being picked up at Vie- toria and conveyed by land line to Sydney Town Hall, where they operated a switch turning on a thousand lights.
How It Was Done
Later. Detalla of how Marconi trans- mitted the power unit to Sydney, show that pressure on a key sent on infinitesimal quantity of elec. tricity to London, which released a train of wireless waves from the beam wireless station to Aus- tralia, via Canada and the Unit- ed States. These two countries subsequently wireleased their con- gratulations to Genoa.
There was a dramatic silence in the Elettra's cabin when Mar- SA, Wyndham Street, Tel. C.22. coni was ready to press the key, and when a voice from Sydney was heard saying that an immense gathering were tensely awaiting the signal. Marconi then pressed the key, and a moment later a voice from Sydney cried, "Lights on! Thanks to you, Hurrah!"
