CA! LDIASâ€"AUSI'IZALIAV CABLE. Advocath by the loudon Daily Times. A [ondon special says :â€"The Times has the following article this ' morning :â€"-â€"-“A distinct advance was made yesterday to- rea’ization of the iroiec' oi con- . wards the l 5 J . _ brighten necting Canada and the Australian (folonil s by a telegraph under the Pacific. The Intercolonial Postal Conference adopted the motion of President J.G. War-l, rec-ini- munding the Governments of the various Colonies to consider the desirability of entering into an agreement with the other countries concerned for a guarantee of fin- ancial assistance to any company under- taking to lay the Pacific cable. As suitable terms, it is proposed that interest at four per cent. be guaranteed for a term of years upon a capital not exceeding £1,800,00U, p'rovided the company undertakes to charge not more than three shillingsa word for telegrams, two shillings a word for Govern- ment telegrams, and eighteen pence ‘IOI' press between Britain and the Colonies. Though all the Australian Coloniesare not equally interested in the matter, it is evident that substantial support Will be forthcoming in the event of the scheme taking shape. Indeed, when we con- sider the magnitude of the undertaking, and the comparatively short time that has elapsed since it was first . sug- ested, the strength of the feeling in its avour, alike among the Colonial Gov- ernments and the Colonial public, is remark- able. Mr. Sandford Fleming, formerly of the Canadian Pacific, must be credited with the principal share in the work of forming an opinion upon the question. At the Col- onial Conference of 1887, he advocted what was then a novel and rather startling idea. He, since that time, has been indefatigable in inarshalling facts and arcuments in sup port of the scheme, bringing Canada and the Australian Colonies into closer connec- tion, and it. was a memorandum drawn up by him which Mr. Mackenzie Bowel], in his tour last year through the Australian Col- onies, submitted to thediderentGovernments as a definite basis of the discussion of the establishment of a line of steamers to Aus- tralia. Canada has done much to familiar- ,ize men’s minds with the idea of telegraphic communication, and indeed to impress them with asense of its necessity for the due development of commerce. Every cargo discharged at either end of the line Wilkin- crease the desire for telegraphic facilities. Every year will bring into greater promin- ence the anomaly that two great Englishâ€" speaking communities, forming part of the same Empire, and only seven or ei ht thous- and miles apart, should be oblige to carry on business by correspondence. The Times goes on to speak of the im- portance of having an all-British route in the event of war. and adds :-â€"“By the resolution of the Dominion Government to enter into contract with Mr. James Hud- dart for the conveyance of mails between England and Canada by an express steam- ship service, new ships are to be built capable of doing twenty knots, and by the co-opcratiou of the Canadian Paulie, and improvements in the Canadian-Australian service, it will be possible to reach Aus- tralia from this country in less than a month. But the advantage from the 1m perial standpoint is far greater and of a kind which money cannot measure, since we assure our ability to reinforce either Australia or India, notwithstanding a tem- porary block upon the long-exposed line of communication through the Mediterranean. The cable now in question is ii. natural supplement of the lines of. steamers, and by degrees will be recognized as indispensable,' whether for commercial or Imperial pur- poses, therefore it is clearly the true policy of this country to join Canada and Australia in the efl'orts they are making to secure a great Imperial benefit, a step from which the united purse-bearers of the British Empire need not recoil. “ The British Ministry has intimated privately that while they feel sympathy in the movement for the Pacific cable, they prefer to delay in taking action in the mat- ter until after the Australian-Canadi-in conference to be held at Ottawa in June, so that they may see what the colonies them- selves are prepared to do. The advent of the Earl of Rosebery to the Premiership increases the prospects of the success of the project greatly. ” r‘ The Russo-German Treaty. Some of the most important provisions of the Russo-German commercial treaty are contained in the concluding protocol. At the present time the Russian duties on certain articles when imported into the country through the Baltic ports are lower than those levied on the same goods when Im orted overland. Russia now binds her- sel to reduce the latter to the level of the former“ when the treaty comes into force, and not to impose any new difl'erential tariff for the import trade of the Baltic, the Sea of Azof, with the exception of the Caucasian coast, and the Black Sea. In return for this the German Government agrees not to introduce more favorable duties on any of the frontiers of the empire than those on the boundary between it and Russia. Further, the two powers con- sent to support each other to the best- of their ability in the regulation of the rail. way dues, and to co-operate in the introduc- tion of direct freight tariff, especially on the lines leading to the German ports of Dantsic, Konigsberg, and Momel. This agreement applies only to the state rail- ways, but the two Governments pledge themselves to do all they can to induce the private lines to adopt the same tariff. Rusria agrees to ascept the German gold currency in payment of Customs dues at the rate of 1,000 marks to 303 gold rubles, and to offer no opposition to the return of Jewish emigrants of Russian origin provided with a Russian passport if they have not sojourned more than one month in Germany. This last stipulation is especially interesting. It is an indisputable fact that every man who wears his watch in his vast pocket in behind time.
