OUR WEATHER CODE.
Odd Words Used to Save Expense
and Time In Telegraphing.


'Indianap0liS - Befall - Bugbolt -

Iaf." This is the message sent out
from the weather bureau on the last
day Of February. The message trans
lated reads: barometer, 3O.14; temper
aturc, -; afternoon report, snowfall rs
southeast winds with sHow-yelOcity
Of wind ten miles an hour-maXimum
temperature }S-nimbus clouds entirely
covered blowing from the eaSt-tOtal
amount Of precipitation 1.GO and mean
temperature 1.-TWO inches of snow
This is the weather report for Feb.
2S. which was placed on the wire
and sent to Washington and other
weather obscryatoricS throughout the
United States. The condensation of
the report into cipher accomplishes two
purposes. 1t reduces the cost of trans
mission and saves time.
The intricacy Of this code can only
be conjectUred when the great vocabu-
larry it has to cover is considered. The
system is so arranged that the vOwelS
each have certain value, representing
a decimal, unit Of ten, similar to the
metric system of calculation, and their
power is denoted by their relation to
consonants placed before or after the
vowel. This cipher does not apply to
all the code. as certain expressions
have their individual word. The code
for these words is alphabetically elias.
sificd for the convenience of the clerks
and observers, as their infreQuent use
does not allow a familiarity that
makes it possible to read at sight, but
they have to be translated by the aid
of the key. In the message ''yaf' rep
resents two inches of snow, and an
other combination Of letters beginning
with "y" deSignates q different pre-
cipitatiOn of snow.
Few messages are alike \ large
sheet is received at the weather bu
reau each evening shortly after s
o'clock bearing the reports in cipher
of obSeryatories in various parts Of
the country. A code message from
Memphis received on the same day
that the above was sent from Indian
den - Mean-Barnable le-Winnow-Cen-
taph-P -Perfcct-Forgave. Translated
it reads, Barometer, 3O12; tempera-
turc, %; afternoon report, "A inches

ature thunderstorm beginning at =

alto stratus clouds from the southwest

In many respects the message is sim
liar TO the first one. but the cipher is
entirely different, showing 10 apparent
likeness SO the messages read all the
way down the page, and 4 clerk can
take each Of them off without hesta-
ton except when the rare code is

EXCITED OVER OIL PROSPECTS
Pennsylvania Farmers Not Much In
fcrested in Fail Flowing.

BUTLER Pa. Oct. 15.-Instead of fin
ishlng the fall plowing. the farmers Of
Concord Washington Clay. and Oakland
townships OF Butler county. are calcu-
lating how much bonus they can squeeze
out OF the lease of oil land. Since the oil
excitement started in the county oi! leas-
cs have gone to unheard-of figures and
lands are selling outright at great prices.
Butter had an oil furore twenty years
ago but the recent discovery of oil-bear-
ing strata in places that We're prospected
specifically at that time and thrown
over as worthless has aroused land own
ers in the townships mentioned to the
possibilities Of getting rich. There is.
however more excitement than OIL. No
big wells have yet been drilled.

NOT TO CARRY FREIGHT.
An Opinion as to baltimore Street
Railway Rights.

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 15.-For some
reason not made public the opinion of
City Solicitor Whyte, sent to the Second
Branch City Council. in reply TO Council
man Howser's resolution of enquiry as
to whether the street railway companies
of the city have the right TO carry freight
was not read at the council meeting last
night. The opinion is directly against the
companies, and plainly states that their
only power under their charters is to
carry passengers. The opinion is as fol-
lows:
After careful consideration I am of the
opinion that there is no provision in the
charters of any of the several passenger
railways. which since have been consoI-
dated, and are nov embraced within the
United Railways and Electric Company of
this city. authorizing or permitting freight
to be conveyed upon their different routes
in said ely. 1t is apparent that unless
they have specific authority fo- The pur-
pose Of carrying on this class Of business
they are strictly limited to the business
for which they We're chartered; to wit, the
carrying Of passengers"
1t was intimated after the meeting that
the reason why the opinion was not read
was because the question of carrying the
mails by the street railway company had
not been considered, and the branch wish
I'd 10 take no action until II knew just
under what terms the United Railways
Company carried the mails.
Councilman Howscr said th9t he had no
objection 10 the carrying Of the mails by
the company If it in any way facilitated
delivery. but he thought that If the COM
pauy received payment for this the city
should get some portion Of il, IT least
per cent.

said that the company has no right 10
carry freight in its cars through the city.

SAMUEL GoMPERs REPLIES.
His Answer to the Charges Made by
Theodore ShnTer.

CHICAGO. Oct. 15.-Samuel Gompers,
President of the American Federation Of
Labor, in the current issue Of the Amer
lean Federatiouist." makes a reply to the
charges OF Theodore Shaffcr. President of
the Amalgamated Association of Steel
Workers, that the men on strike did not
receive the support of the Federation. and
that the strike wes lost as a consequence.
In parallel columns Mr. GompeTs shows
the terms of settlement offered to the
committee Of which he was a member and
which he urged Mr.. Shaffer to accept,
and the terms of the settlement made a
week later by ShafIer, agreeing not to at
tempt to organize the steel workers or
issue any charters to them for the next
three years He declares that no other
executive officer in the American labor
movement would have made such terms
az Mr.. Shaffer did, and rvfutes the
charges that he failed TO keep an impor-
tant appointment with Mr.. Morgan TO try
to adjust the strike. No financial assist
ance was ever asked Of the American
Federation of Labor by an official of the
Amalgamated Association, he says. What
Mr.. Shaffer really asked was the calling
OF a conference Of all national officers of
pathetic strike This, Ar. Gompers says
he fiatly refused to do, s2yirg he felt con-
fident the executive officers of the trades
unions of America ought not to, and
would not violate their contracts with
employers, and hence there could not, or
ought rot to, be Il wide spread ana sym

BROKE HER OWN RECORD.
Fast Time of the I<aiser Wilhelm
der Crosse.

NEW YORK, oct. 15.-The crack North
German Lloyd liner Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse arrived here from Southampton
and Cherbourg this morning, having bro
ken her westward record for the passage
between the Cherbourg Breakwater and
the Sandy Hook lightship. Her time of
passage. was days, Il hours. and %
minutes, which reduces her best fast pre-
vious recoru by q minutes. This former
record of days, II hours. and p min
utes was made in November, 1883.
While The present passage does not
eclipse the recent Western record of the
Hamburg-American flyer Deutschland, it
is satisfactory to the officers Of the North
German Lloyd line. inasmuch as it shows
that the Gross Kaiser, as she is called.
has not yet got Out OF her Old habit of
smashing records.
The Kaiser WiIhelms average hourly
speed was - % knots The Deutschland 5
best hourly record is 23.5l knots. Follow
ing were the the big Kaisers days runs:
42l, 5i2, 5lS. $50, $40, and AL. These runs
were logged over the long course of $3.50
nautical miles. The Deutschland has
reeled OFF Gg1 miles in twenty-four hours.

MANY SHELLS DEFECTIVE.
Statements Made by the Officers of
the Alabama.

NEW YORK. Oct. 11-The officers of
the battleship Alabama, now awaiting
repairs in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. say
that during the recent target practice
many defective shells were found in the
firing of the 6-inch broadside gun. and
the premature bursting of one Of these
shells disabled the 13-inch gun in the for
ward turret of the ship.
So many shells burst before it was in
tended that they should. according to
the officers. that several of the targets
were not hit at all, and a much lower
average was made than would have been
the case had the ammunition been of a
better quality.
The port 13-inch gun will haze to have
new rifiing, and as the Navy Department
has no duplicate of 1t ready and the con-
struction of such a gun takes months of
work, it is likely that the Alabama win
have to carry the disabled weapon for
some months.

STEPPED By THE POLICE.
Dave Sullivan and Kid Broad Fight
Twenty Fierce Rounds.

BUFFALO. OFT 15.-In one c'f tila most
forcely fought contests ever Witnessed
in prize ring. Dave Sullivan, Of Boston.
an Kid Broad, of Cleveland. fought
twenty rounds TO 4 draw, which up to the
time il was stopped by the police looked
like clear victory for Broad.
The match was fought before the new
Athletic Club 1T Fort Erie last night.
From the sound OF the gong in the first
rognd until the abrupt ending in the
twentieth both rsn fot ght at pace that
kept the crowd on their feet cheering
madly. Sullivan was by rar the better
when 1t came to blocking and ducking
blows, and this alone saved him from a
sure knockout early In The game. on the
other hand, Broad wHs stronger and car
ricd much more steam behind his blows
and was the more aggressive. 1t was the
general opinion among those present that
Broad would have been declared the win
ner had the bout been finished
