FIRST MESSAGE
BY PACIFIC CABLE

New York. July 5.-The Pacific cable
was successfully completed at 1850
o'clock last night, eastern time. by the
welding together of the eastern and
western links at Honolulu, on board
the battleship Anglia. thus completing
the entire line of telegraph from San
Francisco to the Philippine islands. a
distance of 5000 miles. and bringing to
conclusion the greatest and most diff
ficult of submarine cable enterprises
undertaken in the history of ocean tel
egraphy.
A message from President Roosevelt
to President Mackay of the Commercial
Pacific Cable Company was sent over
the new cable around the world in
twelve minutes. and Mackay's reply
was sent around the world in nine and
one-half minutes. The best previous
time for a message around the world
was made on one sent by United States
Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew from the
Nationa! Electric Exposition. Grand
Central Palace in this city, in 1896. 1t
took fifty minutes to transmit the mes
sage.
The first message sent over the new
Pacific cable was one from President
Roosevelt ut Oyster Bay to William H.
Taft. governor general of the Philip
pines, at Manila. Following Governor
, Taft's reply was the message from
President Roosevelt to Clarence H.
Mackay. president of the Postal Tele-
graph and the Commercial Pacific COM
pany. Mr. Mackay's reply was fol-
lowed by number of congratulatory
messages from governors OF states and
other public officials to Governor Taft.
The time for sending the globe-en-
| circling message had been set at noon,
but the weather conditions at HOnolu-
lu were unfavOrable and the event had
to be postponed.
