the sending of such sharply de-
fined signals that the intervals at
which they follow each other are
considerably reduced without over

In the manufacture of the new
cable care has been exercised to
follow all of the standard speeifi-
cations for cable manufacture with
the single exception of the addi-
ton of the permalloy loading.
The size of the copper conductor
has been slightly reduced from
standard practice so that the diam
eter Of 1t and its perlnalloy wrap
ping win be equal to that ordi-
narily used for copper alone.
The to, al diameter of the conduct
or and its parmalloy wrapping is
just fraction short of a fifth
of an inch. the remainder Of the
cable being used for insulation
and protection. The completed
deep sea section of the new cable
is only an inch in diameter. AS
the water becomes more shallow
near the shore, heavier cables are
used. The copper conductor,
however, is of uniform diameter
throughout. the increased bulk and
weight being the protective armor

CORRESPONDENT AT
HELENA SENDS OUT
NEWS TO COUNTRY

Fifty years have elapsed since
Andrew ]. Fisk, Associated Press
correspondent in the little from
tier town Of Helena, first flashed
to the world news of Gen. George
A. Clusters crushing defeat at the
battle of the Little Big Horn.
Yet today Fisk's scoop" stands
among the greatest newspaper
beats" in modern journalism.
And, by a strange coincidence,
the nation, through Fisk's pen,
first heard of the tragedy one
hundred years to the day after the
signing Of the Declaration of In
dependence.
Montana Published First
Historians differ as to the paper
which first published the story of
Clusters battle, the semi-centennial
observance Of which started recent
ly at the Custer Battlefield in
Southern Montana. Some credit
the Helena Herald. others the
Bozeman Times, although all now
agree they both printed the news
before the appearance. shortly az
ter midnight of July 5, of an
extra of the Bismarck IN. d.
Tribune, The Tribune sold for
25 cents and carried the story Of
the fight and a list of the CASUAL
ties.
Twelve days passed from time
Gen. Custer, in command Of the
Sevnth cavalry left old IT. Linz
colns near Bismarck, in search Of
the village Of hostile Sioux, until
word Of his last stand reached
Fisk and the outside world, Nine
days sped by from the date of
%tie battle before the word was
broadcast through the medium Of
the press. = longer time would

Countryman learned the story
from "Muggins" Taylor, scout
from the Little Big Horn battle-
field, who half dead from ex-
haustion. reached Countryman's IS
ranch house at Saltwater, Mont.
Countryman volunteered to carry
the news to Bozeman and rush ii
to Washington over the govern
ment wire. tie arrived there only
to find the wire down. There was
nothing to DO but continue the
gruelling race to Helena.
Helena was celebrating Inde-
pendsnce Day. Fisk ever alert for

TREND IS MIXED
IN BOND MARKET
No important Change In Main
Trend Is Seen in Irregu-
lar Movements.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 7.-Prices moved
irregularly at the resumption Of busi-
ness in the bond market today. The
general list showed signs Of reaction,
but there were enough exceptions,
including several new high records,
to make it evident that there had
really been no important change in
the main trend. These exceptions
We're to be found in the investment
and semi-speculative sections as well.
In the high-gra group there was
unusual activity in Canadian Pacific

dipped a half point and at the same
time Great Northern 5hs, crossing
l0s, were at a new 1926 top. Kansas
City Terminal 4s also reached a new
high for the year. Changes in the
United States Government list were
mostly on the side OF advance.
An outstanding feature among
speculative bonds was the 3.point
advance in American Writing Paper
IS. evidently forecasting some favor
able developments.
The Cuban sugar bonds were under
pressure again. and Manita Us sold
below 9419, a new low, rejecting the
passing OF the dividend on the pre-
ferred stock. Cuban Cane IS were
off in sympathy, and American Sugar
IS dropped fractionally. There was
good support for the oil bonds, for
Marine IS and for the New York City
fractions.
In the higher-yielding railroad class
New Haven collateral IS of 1910 sold
above par for the first time. There
was heavy trading In nearly all the
New Haven issues, with New York,
Westchester and Boston 412s and with
New Haven As of 1855 at new tops.
Erie prior lien As also surpassed their
previous hest prices, but the other
Erie bonds moved irregularly, the
convertible sd" As higher and the
general As lower
Features in the foreign group were
a new high for German Is and a new
low for Chinese Railway SIS. French.
Belgian and Italian obligations were
not Importantly changed. The high
coupon South American bonds ex-
perienced profit taking after the
strength of last 0veek.
OF the days new offering the most
