Hon. Colonial Secretary,

Since writing ry minute of th. instant,
Mr. Keegan of Keegan and Rosencrantz, introduced by a letter
from Mr. Fuller, has seen me and given me more detailed
particulars of this matter.
It seems that his Firm are the sole agents
one of
or salesmen for the United Wireless Telegraph Company
the largest, if not the largest, companies in the States,
£4,000,000 capital they want to establish stations in the
East and he is in communication with the Authorities at Shanghai
Bangkok, Saigon, Hanoi, Manila,
&C.
They desire to establish a
station at some high point, such as Victoria Peak and High West,
convenient for telephonic communication, &c. They would register
here as a Company.
They would of course work under the Radio-
telegraphic Convention and the Government would take over the
establishment in war time &c. and also have proper control of
it; their business would be to supply messages mostly to ship-
-ping people as they would he in connection with ships.
As they do not expect the busineɗ to pay
for some time, they would not put down a very large establish-
-ment, say a 5-Kilowatt Machine equal to over 1,000 miles
radius, and, as their message rates would be under the Telegraph
Companies, they hope to get business in time when they would
increase their installation.
They would rent or lease apparatus and men
to work it to ship■, such sets could be put in in 24-30 hours
while ships are in harbour.
They hope the Government would not charge,
in view of getting all messages and communications, including
weather reports, delivered free of cost, for the land for the
station which would consist of two fairly high masts 300' apart
and a small house for their workmen.
They would be able they hope to couple to
Java and they consider Hongkong logically the centre station for
wireless
