THE CABLE QUESTION.
United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received July 13th, 1.10 a.m.) SYDNEY, July 12. Mr Crick considers that the calling for tenders for the Pacific cable has made the situation less urgent. Probably more resolutions will be passed by the Assembly on Wednesday. It also makes it easier to continue negotiations with the Eastern Extension Company. Mr Crick has long recognised that the object of the Company was to kill the Pacific cable. As scon as tenders are accepted, and a stumbling-block out of the way, he will be quite prepared to negotiate with the Company for an agreement, and has every reason to believe that if they had accepted his previous offer the Pacific Cable would have been abandoned.
