THE PACIFIC CABLE.
OUR CANADIAN BRETHREN
By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright
Melbourne, May 17.
A deputation from the Chamber of Commerce Conference interviewed Mr Muloek, the Canadian Postmaster-General, and presented a resolution adopted in favor of State-owned cables. They disclaimed any desire to oppose the Cape cable, but sincerely desired to bo linked bv cable with their brothers in Canada. They felt that by fostering brotherly love between Australia and Canada these countries would be made two of the strongest buttresses the Mother Country could desire. Mr Muloek said ho would have much pleasure in submitting their resolutions to the Canadian Premier. Canada had rrreat sympathy with Australia, aud he was only sorry the Capo concession had been made. Canada would cheerfully bear the extra loss the concession involved, because of her loyalty to the Imperial cause. He hoped in nineteen month's the Pacific cable would be in full working power. He hoped no one would be shortsighted enough to sacrifice a great future for the sake of some minor advantage at present.
