D. II Craig. late general agent of the
New York Associated Press, is said to
have perfected his new system of tele
praphy, to the development of which he
has been devoting his time and means
for three years past, with results that
can hardly fail TO effect an entire revo-
luton in telegraphy, by reducing its cost
to rate very little above the present
rates Of postage 1t is claimed that by
this new automatic system it is perfectly
practicable to transmit with absolute
accuracy, over a single wire more than
sixty thousand words an hour; a speed
more than sixty times greater than by
any of the systems now in use. Tele-
grams which under the Morse system
now cost several dollars will, it is said,
be reduced to a comparatively few cents,
which if true will make its value almost
inestimable TO the press, the mercantile
community and the public at large.
