H1 leitBIdpuHf Nho ID AtA tS--- ra- charge of the department of the interior will place the department of posts and telegraphs in the nominal as we'll as virtual control of Under-Secretary sevastianeioff under whose administration the postal and telegraph services of the empire have made great strides.
 The handling of the enormous quanti- ties of telegrams in war times is attend cd by difficulties undreamed of abroad. The St. Petersburg Central Telegraph office receives and transmits an average of half million words daily. which, count ing twenty words to dispatch, is equiva- lent to 25.0O0 messages. This number, how ever. is doubled by events in the assassi- nation of Minister von Plehve.
 The greatest difficulties are due to the operation of 10000 miles of overhead wire. The severe storms daily throughout this vast district and forest region Is sub ject in summer to fires over hundreds of miles of mountain ranges, poles are con- stantly blown down, a repairing gang some times having to travel hundreds of miles to replace a single pole.

Explains Frequent Delays.

These facts are sufficient to explain why the despatches from the front are some times delayed q couple of days, but a more serious cause for delay is in the overcrowding of the wires with birthday, name day and other congratulstory de- spatches, which common politeness rem ders imperative among Russians.
 For instance, on the feast day of Vladi- mir day. July 2s, thousands of congratula- tory telegrams were sent to the far east to Count Vladimir seryinF nnd [ Gen8ral IslSuFgpatSin. Tho tetssr ph depai me f Nalss a practice of holding up such mes bages at Harbin and forwardine tiam h. posts, but in the meantime they are 1 liblocking the Siberian wire. 1t must also be noted that official despatches in cipher are abbreviated and have to be repeated and these take precedence over all other telegrams.
 M Sevastianeoff is coping with a task unprecedented in the history of telegraphs.
