ported that their application for a
charter had been granted by the char

the charter yet for the reason that
there seemed to be some opposition
to the plan Of managing the cemetery
by private association. The com.
mittee did not think it best to 90 on

change in the management would be
entirely satisfactory to all Of the peo'

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-The early
annexation Of Porto Rico viii be re-
commended by the President in his
annual message to Congress; also the
immediate establishment of a civil
government. This problem has been
considered carefully by the Admins
tration and the decision reached that
no reason exists for denying this peO-
pie the privilege of governing them
selves This statement is official,
coming as it does from a member of
the Presidents Cabinet. 1t is believed
that Congress will act immediately on
the Presidents recommendation, and
that territorial form of government
will be in operation within year,
similar to Oklahoma, New Mexico and
Arizona. This will meet with the
sanction of the most influential and
best educated people Of Porto Rico.

ANOTHER TEST
Of Marconi's System Of
Telegraphy.
ComKlu lica ton From a Balloon Shows The
Value OF His Invention
in War.

LONDON, Aug. 6.-There has been
general and widespread interest in
naval circles on account of the free use
OF MarcOni's system of wireless tela-
graphy. Naval maneuvers have shown
the value of wireless telegrap ply in
Messrs. J. n. and \. Maskelyne re-
Gently carried out a series of interest
ing experiments in wireless biography
with a balloon, which is likely to
prove even more valuable to peaceful
mariners.
AS is we'll known, the safety of the
navigator and his vessel frequently de-
ponds upon warnings conveyed from
time to time by sound. All kinds OF
abnormal deviations in the apparent
direction from which the sound ema-
mates are noticed. In short, the mari
ner is brought face to face with all the
peculiarities of atmospheric acoustics
The Tacon and Maskelyne experiments
were devised with the object of ascer-
tanning precisely what is the nature of
these peculiarities. and what are the
conditions under which they are OBJ
served. When these results have been
secured scientists will be in a position
to provide a remedy for the errors
mentioned.
The balloon ascent was made from
Newbury at o'clock in the evening on
III, . 1XaJl II
drifted away in the direction of Read
ing and was quickly lost to sight in
the clouds, from which it did not
emerge for some minutes, when it
finally appeared as a speck in the dis
lance.
In the meantime Mr. n. Maskelyne
transmitted several messages to the
occupants of the balloon, who gave sig
nails that they were being received.
Heavy gun-cotton cartridges, sus-
pended below the car of the balloon,
were fired from the electric station on
the ground when the balloon was some
miles distant and there were similar
discharges from the electric station
which shook the ground.
Another experiment was the firing
of a powder magazine electrically from
a distant point, without contact, the
firing point being the transmitting
station between which balloon COM
munication was maintained when the
ascent took place.
The object of this experiment was to
give a practical demonstration Of the
possibility Of utilizing the principle of
etheric communication in time OF war
to explode mines and similar destruc-
tive contrivances, the only connection
necessary being through the medium
of the all-pervading ether.
The advantages of this system are
that there will be no connecting wires
to be cut by the enemy, nothing which
could fall into their hands, while moth
ing could prevent communication from
being established at the right moment.
The initial experiment proved per-
feet success.
