The introduction of the shilling tariff for ten word telegrams between Victoria and New South Wales has proved a splendid success, traffic having increased fully one third, while the falling off of the revenue department lias been but slight. Negotiations have been m progress with the New Zealand Telegraph Department to reduce their share of revenue to sixpence per ten words, m order to admit of the rate between Victoria and that colony being reduced to 7s. But up to the present time they have refused although the Victorian Government urges its acceptance.
