INTER-STATE COMMUNICATION.
MELBOURNE, Friday
The Senate, on the motion of Mr Keating, of Tasrnana, appointed a select committee to inquire into the question of improving the steamship communication between Tasmania and Australia. It was urged that the isolated position of Tasmania prevented that State from realising the full benefits of the Federal union without better means of communication. It was suggested that a fast line of steamers, owned by the Commonwealth, and convertible into armoured cruisers capable of defending the coast, should be established.
