AUSTRALIAN CABLES.
THE SAN FRANCISCO MAIL SERVICE.
SYDNEY,. August .3. The "Da;ly Telegraph." referring to the debate in the Legislative Council, says the colonies are not likely to make such 'a bad bargain as to subsidise the new Amei-ican line. If reciprocity from America is offered 'as an ; inducement, it may count .for something, but lacking it ,or some other quid pro qim, Mr Spreckles' visit will only benefit his health. As for the mails, there is the alternative Vancouver roijte. With an increased subsidy, in which New Zealand "will propa.bly participate, the service can be made~ as fast and as serviceable as the American route.
