THE SECRET SERVICE.
Tiresome Work of Reading Ci-
pher Dispatch of 1000 Words.

Tiresome Work of Reading n Ci-
pher Dispatch of 1000 Words.
Some governments make use of nu-
merals for their ciphered communities
tons with their agents abroad, others
mixture of numerals and words, and
yet others exclusively words. OF course,
the only problem that needs solution
in dispatches of this kind is to ascer-
tain the key number or key word.
When that's is accomplished, the re-
mainder is easy, though generally very
tedious. Indeed it is difficult to conceive
Of more tiresome, head splitting piece
Of work than either to cipher or deci-
pher dispatch of some 1900 or 1000
words. The writer talks from sad and
weary experience.
Some governments change the key
word or key numerals with each dis
patch, according to settled arrange
ment. Others, again, change it every
month. Sometimes it is placed at the
beginning of the dispatch, at other
times at the end. To the uninitiated a
dispatch Of this kind will appear in the
nature of Chinese puzzle, but to an
expert photographer the deciphering
of government code dispatch is mere
child's play.
Occasionally the dispatch will appear
mere tumble of consonants without
any meaning while at other times 1t
will be SO ciphered as to contain sensi-
bic and plausible sentences, the mean
ing of which appears on the surface.
1t was a code of this kind that was
used by the Spanish secret agents in
this country during the war with
Spain, and the clever staff of secret
service men employed by the United
States government were in a very
short time possessed of a key to the
ctpher In question: York Tribune.

ORDER MUST BE
KEPT IN SALOONS
Fights Are of Common Occur
renee, Says Judge
Wilcox.

Eugene Devauschelle was fined 81 and
costs for assaulting George Vessels in
the Merchants saloon on Monday after
neon. The evidence adduced at the trial
gave His Honor an opportunity to give
utterance to some strong statements in
regard to the numerous fracases which
occur in the saloons of this city, few of
Judge Wilcox gave it as his opinion that
bsrkeepers who allowed fights to go on
in their places of business should be
locked after by the police.
In Issuing licenses for saloons, ii was
understood that they should be conduct
ed in an orderly manner. William H.
Bartlett, the bartender at the Merchants
came in for a share of the Judges criti-
cism. The latter said he had heard of
other instances in which Bartlett had
figured prominently, and if any more in
formation came to his notice he would
see that the record was placed In the
hands of the persons issuing liquor Ii
censes. He issued warning that all
bartenders of Honolulu must keep their
Customers quiet suffer the conse-
quences. He said a great many rows in
saloons were kept from the notice of the
police by the bartenders and that IL the
record of all the disturbances was brought
, t. light heroic measures would be taken.
The assault on vessels appeared
from the testimony to be in some meas
ure provoked. Bartlett had elected a ma
tive and Devauschelle objected to it. Wes-
sells sided with the bartender and a wor-
dy war resulted in profanity unadulterat-
ed from all parties concerned. Finally
,Devauschelle struck Vessels on the nose,
infiicting two deep cuts upon the bridge.
Vessels applied for a warrant for De-
veuschelle Immediately; afterwards ap.
% airing at the police station bleeding pro-
fusely. AS his assailant was well known.
the warrant did not issue until yesterday
