MEANING OF NEW MERGER^ United Press Association. —By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. Received Wednesday, 10.35 p.m. SYDNEY, Aug. 5.

There may be no changes in the service from Vancouver to Sydney for several months, but eventually it is the intention to install greatly improved ships and double the number of sailings to take full advantage of the improvement in trade under the now treaty. In short, it is the aim to build faster and better communications across the Pacific and perhaps circle tho Pacific with special sailings from Vancouver to New Zealand, Australia. Manila and the Orient.
