The United States of America, tn

Setates of Venezuela appear amonf
the names of the countries represent

Mexico. This shows how widely our
federal plan of government as wei
as our style of naming it has beer
adopted in the New World. The use of
the word state in this way has
often been regarded as slightly in
accurate. The word state originally
signified body of people united under
one government, whereas we use the
term to describe one of the divisions
of our country; but whatever rhetori-
cal inaccuracy we may have commit
ted has evidently been overweighed, in
the minds of our imitators, by the sue

The Twentieth Century.
rom the London Chronicle.


That twentieth century is most elusive
thing In 1899 some people thought we were
on it's tail. Again on December 81 Of last
year 1t seemed certain that we were out Of
the nineteenth century for good. But the
twentieth century still runs gaiiy away
from us, while we have been all the time a
year or so behind. 1.-The twentieth century
will dawn on December %, 1901 which will
be January 1, corrected time." announces
Dr. Bean, in pamphlet which he publishes
to the world. "A correction of the errors in
the present method Of reckoning time may
be attained by adding 1-360th of It's present
value to the length of the second" That
would make a pleasant parlor game at
Christmas time. And many busy people
would like to get an extra four minutes a
day-for shaving. for example. 1t might
ease the pressure on the southern railways,
too. DR.. Bean brings in everything from
Daniel to algebra to prove his point. and
succeeds only in muddling US. But any
how. We have strayed into The wrong CEN
fury.

Over $4,000 Messages Handled.
1.-THE total number of messages handled
during the past year was so, 400, three
fourths Of which were of confidential ma
ture and in the different departmental
cipher codes.
During the fiscal year just closed the
telegraph and cipher bureau Of the execu-
high standard attained In the past, and met
every requirement necessary to the prompt
and safe dispatch of the important and con-
fidential business intrusted to its personnel.
While the volume of business in some par
ticulars has not been quite SO large as in
previous years owing to the less active
movements of the army and navy at home
and abroad. 1t has been greatly augmented
by reason of the increased work OF every
executive department, growing out of the
new order Of things, and the extended fields
OF commercial and government enterprise
The cause for this can be readily appre-
ciated when 1t Is remembered that the tel
egraph and cipher bureau is the medium
through which the chief executive receives
all important Information touching the vast
interests of the government and is the
means and method by which he may the
more quickly and rapidly communicate
with his cabinet officers. the executive de-
partments and the outside world.
Many striking illustrations of the value
and adaptability of this service to the needs
OF the hour in great emergencies were
shown In the late war with SPAIN. Then
the constitutional comma nder-fn- chief of
the army and navy became the actual COM
mander-in-chief. and from his office in the
Executive Mansion gave orders direct to
his armies in the field and his commanders
on the sea. and from them received hourly
reports of their operations ashore and
affoat.
Direct Wires to Buffalo.
while the tragedy at Buffalo was en-
acted subsequent to the close Of the last
fiscal year. the signal officer on duty with
the late President hopes 1t will not be
thought untimely or improper to refer in
these supplementary paragraphs to the
work during the sad hours Of watching and
waiting. from the- afternoon of September
O. 1901, when the fatal shot was fired, till
the closing scene on September 49, 1901.
when the body of our beloved chief was
consigned to the grave.
Within fifteen minutes after the late
President was struck down by the assas-
sins bullet the signal officer in charge at
the Executive Mansion had secured two
direct and exclusive wires to Buffalo-one
q telegraph wire and the other q long-dis-
lance telephone circuit-and had put the
office In direct communication with the Sec

1--WE reached General Miles in Porto
Rico by cable. and he was able, through
the military telegraph. to stop his army on
the firing line with the message that the
United States and Spain had signed pro-
tocol suspendine hostilities. We knew al
most instantly Of the first shots fired at
Santiago, and the subsequent surrender of
the Spanish forces was known at Washing
ton within less than an hour Of it's consum-
nation. The first ship of Cerveras feet
had hardly emerged from that historic har-
Dor when the fact was flashed to our capt.
tai. and the swift destruction that followed
was announced Immediately through the
wonderful medium of teiegraphy. So ac-
cnstomed are we to safe and easy communi-
cation with distant lands that its temporary
interruption, even In ordinary times, re-
suits in loss and Inconvenience. We shall
meyer forget the days of anxious waiting
and awful suspense when no information
was permitted to be sent from Pekin, and
the displomatic representatives Of the ma
lions in China, cut off from all communi-
cation inside and outside Of the walled capt.
tai, were surrounded by an angry and mis-
guided mob that threatened their destruc-
ton, nor the Joy that thrilled the world
when single message from the govern
ment of the United States brought through
our minister the first news of the safety of
the beSieged diplomats
