WILLIS' INSTRUCTIONS Are Forwarded to Him in a Lan guage That Can Only Be Read by State Department Officials — The Government May Take Possession oi* "Wires if It De sires Them. Special to the Globe. Washington, Nov. 26.— Whenever a steamer from Hawaii has come to San Francisco since the famous report of Secretary Gresham on the Hawaiian situation was made public, the an nouncement has gone forth that the state department clerks or the navy department clerks were busy translat ing secret messages from Minister Wil lis. In fact, Mr. Landis, the private secretary to the secretary of state, tells me Mr. Willis has been using plain ELglish in his messages to the depart ment. They have come over in charge of the purser of each vessel, and have been put on the wire at San Francisco as quickly as possible. If they had come by the ci pher used by the state department, or by the navy department cipher.it would have taken the clerks two or three hours to translate them. The messages of the ■ government take precedence of all other business on the wires; but long before the translators would have finished their work, the newspaper messages would have come singing OVER the WIRE, carrying the brief statement of the con dition of affairs in Hawaii; and the representatives of the press associations \ J without lard, but WITH the m 4 new shortening, (^HUf^PHREYS* SPECIFICS .

The law which gives government business precedence of press dispatches aud of commercial messages was passed in 1804. It was entitled "An act to aid in the construction of telegraph lines and to secure to the government the use of the same for postal and military pur poses." This act provides that mes sages between the departments of the government and their officers shall have priority over all other business. At the time of the death of President Garfield the government took possession of the telegraph lines at Elberon. and the cor respondent of one of the press associa tions scored a notable "beat" by slipping past the officer who had taken charge of the office, muffling the sound er of a telegraph instrument and send ing a bulletin announcing the presi dent's death. It reached the country ahead of the" news from any other cor respondent, for, though they pleaded for the opportunity to send even a word to their papers, the special correspond ents were denied the right to send a message of any kind. It is not often that the government has occasion to take COMPLETE POSSESSION of a telegraph wire; but if it has the occasion, it has the authority. Under the same act the government fixes its own tolls for telegraph messages, and Postmaster General Wanamaker (for the postmaster general has this agreea ble duty) was in a continual controversy with the telegraph companies over the low rates which he insisted should be paid for government business. The I rates which he named have been in creased a little by his successor, but the government does not pay anything like the commercial rate for telegraph ing. And the method of comput ing the government business is differ ent from that used in handling com mercial or press business. The com pensation is based on the number of miles between the capital of the state or territory from which the message is sent and the capital of the state or ter ritory where It is received. The gov ernment pays a small rate for telegraph business, but it does not pay a small amount. When the negotiations for the purchase of Alaska were under way the state department sent a MESSAGE BY CABLE which cost about $28,000. The exact amount is a state secret. This was probably the most expensive telegraph message ever sent. It is not likely to be duplicated ;for the rates on telegraph business are much lower than they were at that time. The state department uses a cable code, not for the sake of economy, but for secrecy's sake. There would be too much temptation for the telegraph operators or clerks to sell the Informa tion which is contained in diplomatic communications; and though telegraph companies employ men • in whose honesty they hare every confi dence, there are many thousands of operators and other employes, and some of them might prove purchasable. The representative of a foreign government at Washington would not hesitate for a minute to pay for a copy of a private telegram to the state department if he could get it. In fact, the state depart ment had to change its cable code some years ago, because the secretary of state believed that a member of the diplo matic corps HAD OBTAINED A KEY to it, and was using it to obtain inside information about department business. "All's fair in diplomacy," is the watch word of the foreigu ministers at the great capitals of the world. The state department code is made up of combinations of figures. They can be varied indefinitely. Otherwise, If THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: :.

Not only is the code susceptible of remarkable variations, but the department, in making the mes sages public, changes their sequence so as to disguise as much as possible the meaning even for today of certain combinations of figures. The foreign legations at Washington use cable codes which are combinations of fig ures, and the telegraph operators.there fore, are not often bothered with messages in foreign tongues. The lega tion messages go from the main offices of the telegraph companies, but the state department has a SPECIAL TELEGRAPH OPERATOR whose wire runs into the department building, and Mr. Willis' messages hare come to Secretary Gresham's office direct from San Francisco, with per haps one relay midway of the continent The way that the state department code is varied is very simple. Minister Willis, wheu he left Washington, may have carried with him verbal or written instructions that in using code he was to go forward four figures or backwards seven, or the secretary ot state may have sent him instructions to make this or some other change In the arrange ment of the figure combination. Or the first message sent to him may have been preceded by a cipher, which, trans lated, meaut "go forward eight figures before translating." The remainder of the message would then be translated according to this in struction. The necessity for taking so many precautions in handling the tele graph business of the department is shown by the fact that some of the first MESSAGES FROM HAWAII leaked out (presumably through the employes of the department), and Secre tary Gresham thought it advisable aft erward to put all the department em ployes under oath. It the projected Pacific cable was only in existence, the news from Hawaii would be much more quickly obtainable, but the state de partment would be unaer enormous ex pense for cable tolls. The Pacific cable has been planned and the route for it has been surveyed from Monterey bay to Honolulu. But it is not at all likely that the cable will be laid unless private capital takes hold of the enterprise. The government has no control over tolls when a mes sage leaves our own shores; and, though the cable companies in many Instances make special rates for government busi ness, the rates are very high. If the state department wanted to send a message to Queensland, for example, it would have to pay $2.59 for each word, if the message went by the Eastern route or 83.34 if the message went by Northern Siberia. If it went by THE EASTEN ROUTE It would first be telegraphed from Washington to New York, then cabled from New York to London; then sent via Lisbon and Morocco through the Mediterranean sea, under the Arabian sea to Bombay and across Hlndostan to Calcutta, around the Bay of Bengal to Siugapore across to Australia, more than half way around the world. Tele grams to Muscat, in Arabia, go by a peculiar route. They are sent either to Uwadur, in Beloochistan, where they are posted— and in that case "Post G-fta dur" is sent as a part of the address; or they are sent by special boat from Jask, in Persia; and the charge for this boat is $13.71, which is. in addition to the reg ular charge for the transmission of the message. The rate to Jask' is $1.16 per word from Washington. You can send messages to Bunder Abbas also by way of Jask, and the charge for boat to Bunder Abbas is $.".84. The charge for' a boat to take a telegram to Bassidor or Lingah frdm Jask is $11.76. The rate from Washington to London is 28 cents a word. Xoji can send a cipher v"'V-3. MESSAGE TO TEHERAN or Ispahan ; but to most of the telegraph stations ill Persia messages must be written in French ''and in plain lan guage." 'ihej fijfe translated Ifitt Per- , sian at Teheran and then forwarded through native operators. It costs the state department more to send messages to some points in Central and South America than it does for messages which go to Persia or Australia. The rate to Havana is 40 cents a word, and this Is the first cost of all messages which go by that route. The rate from Havana to Paraguay is $4.28 a word when the message goes by way of Colon. The rate to Natal via Colon is $6.13. The rate to British | Guiana by the cheapest route is $2.28 a I word . from Havana— l2.6B from Wash ington. The rate to Rio de Janeiro, where the state and navy departments are now sending messages at short in tervals, is $1.50 if the message goes by way of Galveston; If It should go by Kingston, the rate would be $3.31 a word; if by Colon, the rate would be $5,10 a word, The navy department uses the cable almost as much as tha state department, and it has A special CODE for communicating with its officers. The navy department code is used fre quently, by the diplomatic representa tives of the United States. In fact, all of Minister Blount's messages came through to the department in the navy department code. This is considered much more perfect than the code of the state department. There are very few of the state department codes in exist ence. Only three of the department officers have access to them. And only ministers at very important posts are entrusted with them. If it is necessary to send a secret message to a lesser diplomatic light, it is sent in the code to the nearest capital, and then for warded by messenger. Every United States minister who has received a copy of the code has given a receipt for it. He has to turn it in to the state depart ment,or deliver it to his successor when his term of office expires. It is one of the most important assets of his office. Geokge Grantham Bain. UNCLE SAM'S BOODLE. Treasurer Jordan Discusses It Intelligently. Washington, D. C.,Nov, 26.— United States Treasurer D. N. Morgan has sub mitted to Secretary Carlisle his annual report on the operations and condition of the treasury. It shows that the net ordin ary revenues for the fiscal year 1893 were $385,819,628, an increase of $30,851.544 over those of the year before. The net ordinary expenditures were $383,447,554, au increase of $33,454,623. There was, therefore, a decrease of $7,772,779 in the surplus revenues, reducing them to $2,341,674. Including the public debts, the total receipts were $732, --871.214, and the total expenditures $773,007,908. The public funds amount ed on June 30, 1892, to $756.351,895, and on June 30, 1893, to $746,538,655. After setting apart the sums of gold, silver, and United States notes which were held for the redemption of certificates of deposit and treasury notes there was left a reserve, or general fund of $187,-" 012,740 in 1892, and $163,167,391 in 1893.; Ihese amounts, however, Included cer tain sums of certificates of deposit, bonds and coupons, which were un available for any other purpose than the settlement of the treasurer's ac count, and which, if canceled, would have left an actual available work ing balance of $165,945,886, and $106, --29J,696 on the two dates respectively. By Sept. 30 this balance had been di minished to ${.49,250,268, owing to a de ficiency in the revenues. In seven months, beginning with last * December upwards of $81,000,000 was drawn out of the treasury in redemption of notes, and the gold reserve was reduced dar ing the same period by $29,000,000. Dqr ing the next three months, with light redemptions and a deficiency of $10,000, --000 in the revenue, the treasury lost $15,000,000 of gold, but the reserve fell only §3,000,000,.

Most of the gold exported in former years was supplied by the treasury in exchange for gold certificates, and the report says that it is the first time that any considerable sums of notes have been presented for the metal. With the exception of an increase of $45,500,000 in the amount of treasury notes issued in the purchase of silver bullion and a decrease of $80, --000,000 in the combined volume of gold certificates and currency certificates, there has been, the report says, no im portant change in the public ddbt. - According to the revised estimate, the total stock of money of all kinds in the country on June 30 was $2,323,547,977, or nearly $51,000,000 less than at the same time last year. This contraction took place notwithstanding the addition of $45,500,000 to the stock of silver, and an increase of $6,000,000 in the outstanding bank notes, and was caused by the ex ports of gold. In July, however, there began a heavy return movement of the 1 metal, supported by a rapid expansion : of bank note circulation. By the end of September the stock of gold was re stored to what it was when the exports began. The total increase of the effect- < ive stock of money in the three months ' was no lower than $95,000,000, bringing : it up to a figure much above the highest : ever reached before. The treasurer re- '. marks that this sudden contraction and expansion within the space of eleven months afford a striking illustration of the degree of flexibility possessed by ; the currency. The revised figures for the amount of > money in circulation, that is outside '• the treasury on June . 30, place it at ' $1,596,846,829, or about $6,000,000 less : than it was a year before. During the four months ended with October there . was an increase of $125,000,000, a record altogether without a parallel in the history of the country. The redemptions of United States paper cur rency i have been . unusually heavy, amounting to $377,000,000 in the fifteen months ended with October. During the past two fiscal years there was re coined nearly one-fifth part of the whole estimated stock of subsidiary sil ver, an improvement, tlio report says, that is expected to increase the popu larity and usefulness of this part of the currency. Contrary to expectations the Colum bian souvenir coins have not proved popular. Some of them were never . taken out of the treasury, and others '. have been returned for redemption. An ." arrangement has been in contemplation t under which the half dollars in the . treasury will be recoined at the expense ' of the management of the exposition. It has not yet been decided what dispo sition is to be made of tbe quarter dol lars of this coinage not disposed of. Although the nominal amount of counterfeit coins and paper currency presented at the treasury was greater than in the previous year, the increase was less proportionately than the in crease of the amount of money handled. Considerable additions were made to the bonds held in trust for national .'...„. . . .'.■. . _. ._... ..

DESPERADOES ON BOARD. A. Nervy Band of Robbers Fight With a Train Crew. Goshen, lnd., Nov. 26.— The first section of Train No. 60, the fast meat express between Chicago and New York, pulled into this city last night with eight desperate robbers onboard. Betweeu this city and Elkhart they had made repeated efforts to uncouple a number of cars with, it is believed, the idea of wrecking the fast express train, which passes here close behind the meat train. Train "No. 60 pulled out of Elkhart at 1:23 this morning with orders to run to Ligonier without stopping. When it had left Elkhart a mile behind, the train crew, which consisted of Con ductor John Hickok and two brakemen, found that eight men were on the train, having concealed themselves between the cars. The fellows made an effort to uncouple the last ten cars of the train, but their efforts were foiled by the trainmen after a hard fight. The crew, however, were not able to drive the men off the train. Five miles further on another attempt was made to uncouple cars, and another fight resulted, which lasted until the train was pulled into Goshen. Hickok and one of the brakemen were badiy battered up in the struggle. The en gineer blew his whistle for help, and in a few minutes two officers and a crowd of critizens were at the train, but the robbers had made their escape, taking with them the watches of the engineer, two brakemen and Conductor Hickok. They also secured a small sum of money from each of the trainmen. Later in the night a man giving the name of Henry Zimperman was ar rested, and in his shoe was found $4, the amount taken from one of the brake men. William Cone was also taken into custody after making a hard fight and $12 taken from Conductor Hickok found upon him. Zimmerman claims to be a resident of KendallviUe, lnd., and Cone of Benton Harbor, Mich. The con tradictory stories told by the former, all of which have been proven false, are practically enough to convict him. It is believed by the Lake Shore offi cials that the men intended to leave the uncoupled cars standing upon the track, with the Idea of wrecking the express train, and then plundering the express car. President Newell, of the Lake Shore road, was here this afternoon, and offered a reward of $4,000 for the cap ture and conviction of the eight men, or $500 for the capture and conviction of anyone of them. The express train which the robbers endeavored to wreck is the same train which was held up and robbed at Kessler, lnd., in September. Movements of Steamships. New Arrived: La Bretagne, Havre.
