NATIVE JUDICIARY DESIRED.
American Judges Not Acceptable to
Porto Ricana.

The President has received long letter
from Senior Nevarro, secretary Of justice Of
Porto Rico, appealing to the President in
the name Of the judiciary of the island to
select judges from among their own people.
He also attacks Messrs. Curtis and Ken
nedy, OF the Insular Commission. for their
recommendations to the contrary, and
quotes from General Henry in support Of
his plea that justice in Porto Rico should
be administered by the people thereof.
Senior Nevarro points out that judges
sent from the United States. who would
be ignorant Of the code and procedure Of
the island and unacQuainted with the Gus
tom and traditions of the people. would be
absolutely incapable Of administering JUS
tice satisfactorily. The native judiciary,
he says. is intelligent. active and honor
able. and have the entire confidence Of
the people. They will be better able than
strangers he declares. to institute the re-
forms and formulate a new system Of JUS
tice in accord with the changed conditions.

visible. Messages recording the progress
of the races will be transmitted from these
to . point ON the Irish coast in the neigh
borhood Of Waterville.
The secretary Of the Wireless Telegraphy
Company said that Sir Thomas Upton and
Great Britain had been notified of the
project and had expressed theselves as
being intensely interested..
Whatever doubt there may be about the
practical value of experiments In wireless
telegraphy conducted by tie Marconi sys-
tenn. the fact that be has succeeded in
translating communications rapidly and
with great accuracy Rstween England and
France through the sole medium OF air or
ether remains unquestionsd.

1t is also true that Marconis success
has appealed to the popular imagination
OF all Europe as no other scientific
achievement Of recent years has done.
Yet no one claims novelty for what he has
accomplished except In degree. Before
Marconi astonished the world with his
system. twelve or fifteen miles marked
the limit that Ineligible signals by in
duction had been carried.
MarcOni more than doubled this when
he sent messages between Folkstone and
