CABLE SERVICES.
CONFERENCE OF POSTMASTERSGENERAL. United Press Association —By Electrio Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, November 1. It is understood that the Government will invite the Postmasters-General of the overseas Dominions to tho Imperial Conference, to discuss tho question of cheap telegraphy. The "Morning Post" says: "It is easily demonstrable that universal penny cables would result in an enormous loss, and ordinary citizens may ask why they should bo called on to contribute to a loss on a service that is practically of no value to them, and they may argue, further, that thoso benefiting by ocean deiegrraphy should pay for th© convenience. Any conceivable relief to the users of cables must be more modo3t than the penny a word rate."
