CABLES AND POSTAGE.
London, May 18. In the House of Commons to-day Mr. Goschen, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in reply to Mr. Henniker Heaton, said the Government would decline to consider the propriety of appointing a committee to inquire into and report on the question of cable communication between England and the rest of the Empire.
Another motion which Mr. Beaton had on the paper relative to penny postage, was replied to by Mr. Smith, the. leader of the House of Commons. Mr. Smith declined to give Mr. Heaton an opportunity of facilitating discussion on the extension of the penny postage throughout the Empire and America, in order to celebrate the introduction of the Jubilee pennv postage system in the United Kingdom.
