The troops will be confined ta barracks to-morrow.—Reutor, Copennacex, April 2:—A_ new Presiding at the annual meeting to-day of the Marconi International Marine Communication Ca, Mr. F. G. Kellaway, the managing director, Said that Senatore Marconi had been advised to spend a few weeks in Italy to complete his recovery from hig recent illness, which had been more serious than was generally Known. The Senatore was now on his yacht working on a line of research which promised to be as sensational in its effects on telegraphic communication over distances of 1,000 to 2,000 miles as his development of the beam system over very great distances.

Referring to the negotiations in connection with the cable and wireless merger, Mr. Kellaway argued that it was an imperative Imperial necessity that the external British telegraphs should be operated as one unit. He pointed out that these were now in the hands of at least six different authorities lacking a common, coherent policy. He disclosed the fact that American commercial interests during the past year had seriously advanced a proposition that they should operate the whole system of British internal and external telegraphs and telephones through a company formed in Britai Reuter.
