MARCONps SYSTEM ABANDONED.
Found That IT VIII Not DO for the
Navy, und Comes Too High.

NEW YORK, Dec. IA special to the
Tribune from Washington says Rear
Admiral Bradford has asked authority
from the navy department to establish a
bureau at the naval training station at
Newport for the development of naval
system Of wireless telegraphy. The pro-
ject to secure Marconf's system for the
navy has been practically abandoned.
It's range was found to be exceedingly
limited, especially when vessels were rolf
ing and their topmasts varied In height
above the water. Then there was inter-
ference, two stations being unable to- hold
ineligible communication when third
station within their circle, undertook to
send a message to either point Finally,
Marconi's terms were regarded as exor-
bitant. He declined to modify his propo-
sitton and refused to. send two or three
sets for experimental purposes, giving
American officers to understand that he
did not care to do business on a small
scale when European navies were fighting
for the exclusive use of his coherer and
other essential features, In spite Of the
systems radical shortcomings, as disc0v-
cred on this side OF the Atlantic.
