THE RIVAL CABLES.
Probable Loss Over the Pacific Route.
United Press Association. fiy Electric Telegraph. —Copyright. (Received July 24, 9.18 a.m.) Sydney, This day. The Daily Telegraph, commenting on the Pacific Cable Board's estimated annual loss of £15,000, says : —- This only covers the cost of cables to Canada, beyond which other charges will be made amounting to about one shilling a word, and probably the estimate, of receipts was made 'without adequately allowing for traffic for the new Cape cables." The Telegraph deprecates tbe laying of a single line, as it is always liable to break, and a double line would mean a proportionate addition to the colonies' expenses. . - - (Received July 24, 9.30 a.m.) Adelaide, This day. Mr Warren, manager for the Eastern Extension Cable-Company, states that everything is now arranged for the laying of the cable from Cape Colony to Glenelg. The landing station chosen is Cottiesoe Beach, near Fremantle. Tenders will shortly be called idr preparing the South Australian landing station. It is expected that the laying of the cable will be completed by the end of next year.
