SCHOOL OF TELE6RApHY.
The Government To Establish One
For Teaching the MdrConi Sys-

The navy department is making ar
rsngements to establish a school of
Instruction, at which officers and en-
listed men shall be taught the method
of operating the system of wireless
telegeaphy. Rear Admiral r. B.
Bradford, chief of the naval bureau of
equipment, who has charge Of ell
prefer that the service adopt the nj ar
conf system, but this action cannot be
taken without an appropriation from
congress.
The department has found that it
will be impossible to purchase Marconi
instruments. The company which has
the right to sell the instruments has
informed Rear Admiral Bradford, in
response to his inquiry, that for 20 sets
have to pay $4,000 cash and $4,000
more for the use of the instruments
during the first year. This sum will
also have to be paid for the instru
ments for every succeeding year they
are in use. This price seems exor-
bitsnt to the officials, but they say that
Signor Msrconi is the only inveator
who has gotten practical results from
his invention, and If the department
enters into q contract with the COM
psny it will be guaranteed the right
all improvements that he may make.
The school, when established, will
be in charge of Lieut.. J. b. Blish.
There will be six officers and twelve en-
listed men in the first class, and they
will be taught to read the Morse al
phabet, aud to operate the system. Ii
is expected that two shore stations will
be esta blished and q naval tug attach
ed to the school. When q sufficient
number of officers and men have been
trained and thoroughly understand the
system, it is proposed to install instru
meuts on board the various men-of-war
in service, and fleet maneuvers will be
conducted in accordance with instruc-
tions sent by them.

ADMIRAL DEWEY'S CANDIDACY.
Terry ABOUT THE PURPOSES OF NEW
YORK DEMOCRATIC LEADERS.

Washington. April 13 (SpeciaD unearth-
ing Of ex-Representative Perry Belmont one
of the promoters OF Admiral Dewey's canvass
for the Presidency has not greatly surprised or
startled either Democratic or Republican poll
tcians here. MIR. Belmonts outspoken hostility
to Bryan was held by most Democratic critics
to deprive his espousal of Admiral Dewey's
of any particular significance.
Mr.. Belmont declined to-day to discuss the
movement for the advancement OF Admiral
Dewey's candidacy. There is no mystery about
the purposes of the New-York Democratic lead
ers," he said. however. Their chief desire Is
to ascertain popular sentiment and to guide
themselves accordingly, choosing a candidate
who will unite the party. There is no question
about the growing popularity of Admiral Dewey.
After the great victory of Manila be displayed
the rarest tact. discretion and political fore
sight. Some Democratic politicians declare that
Admiral Dewey should have made known his
intention at the time of his triumphal arrival.
1t may well be assumed that after long alb
sence from his country it has taken him some
time to realize that the two great political
parties are thoroughly entangled and bound up
in the candidates. of only two men, President
Mckinley and the defeated candidate of the last
