Now York, Doo. 25. A tpeciul to
tho Tribune from Washington says:
Roar-Admiral Bradford lias asked au
thority from tho navy department to
establish a bureau at tho naval training
station at Nowport for tho develop
ment of a naval system of wireless tol-
j ogrnphy. It is pioposed to detail sev-
oral oilicors having high electrical
. knowlodgo at this station
and to fur
nish facilities for study and experi
ment, in tho belief that souiothing hot
ter than Marconi's apparatus may bo
devised.
Tho project to securo Murcont's sys
tom for tho navy has boon practically
abandoned. In tlio first placo its raugo
was found to bo exceedingly limited,
especially when vessels wero rolling in
a soaway, and thoir topmasts continu
ously varied in hoight abovo tho water.
Then there was tho iusuperablo objec
tions of interference, two stations bo
ing unablo to hold intelligent commun
ication when a third station within
their circlo of sensitiveness uudortook
to send a messago to oiiher point. This
dofect destroys the valuo of tho system
where moro than two ships cruised in
squadron or vhero an cnomy choso to
send disturbing messages.
Finally, Marconi's terms of $20,000
for tho first year und $ 10,000 annually
thereafter wero regarded as exorbitant
for tlio uso of his half-doveloped inven
tion. Ho declined absolutely to modify
his proposition, which compelled tho
navy to tako 20 sets of apparatus or
' mnm nnrl tn nar SiiOO nnrni'ht fur nrmh
set, and $500 a year each as royalty
for their use. Ho refused to send two
or three sets for experimental pur
poses, and gave American naval officers
to understand that lie did not caro to
do business on a small scale when Eu
ropean navies wero fighting for tho ox
elusive uso of his coherer and other os
sential features.in spito of tho system's
radical shortcomings, as discovered on
this sido of tho Atlantic. Marconi's
attitude toward tho army was scarcely
different, and tho signal corps is going
ahead on a sytem of its own, which
avoids the Italian's patents, and nl
ready is said to bo producing better re
suits,
Rear-Admiral Bradford bolioves that
eomo of the electrical oxperts of tho
naval equipment bureau, if tho oppor
tunity is given them, will produce up
paratus to meet tho peculiar conditions
of the navywithout appreciable oxpcU'
diture, and in all probability the ex
periraenCs he desires will bo ordered
Onetation will bo located at tho
training station and tho other at tho
torpedo school, on islands about a milo
apart, and as progress is mado other
stations will bo set up at various points
in Nowport harbor, whero torpedo-
boats aro always availablo, with vossols
motion or for miniaturo fleet evolu-
,s. Several forms of apparatus from
erican inventors havo already been
submitted for test, and doubtless others
will bo received when the work is act
ually started.

Paris, Deo. 25. A pro-Boer demon
stration, convened this evening at tho

in a riot. Tho socialists entered in
force and broko up tho meeting, amid
indescribable uproar and shouts of
'Vivo la social revolution," and "A
has Deroulede," with counter cries of
"Vive Derouledo" and "Vive l'armee."
Several nationalists who were present
endeavored to speak, but thev wero
quite inaudible. A free fight ensued,
and the proprietor of tho hall turned
off the gas. Tho combatants then
lighted newspapers and continued tlio
fight, smashing tho fittings of the hall
and using them as weapons. Finally
tho police cleared tho room, but they
wero compelled to chargo several times
before order was re-established.
