The first message over the Atlantic
cable was a dispatch from Queen Vic
toria to President Buchanan. There were
95 words in the message, but owing to
something getting wrong with the wires
1t was "a hours from the time that the
first word was received until the last was
taken off. The principal part of the
message was the queens expression of
the wish that the cable would prove a
bond Of union and a link of friendship
between the two great nations. MI.
Buchanan heartily concurred in this
wish and incidentally remarked to her
majesty that in his estimation this
"crowning triumph of science would
prove a greater boon to humanity in
general than the results of all the hard
