London, June 27. A REPRESENTATIVE of the Western Union Telegraph Company, Mr. Goddard, informed the Dominions Commission to-day that his company was willing to lease one of their lines for the All-Red route on terms satisfactory to the Government and themselves.
The Dominions Commissioners, understanding that the British Government had refused to lay down an Atlantic cable, approached the Western Union. The latter offered to lease a line from England to Montreal, where it would join tin? Pacific Company's land line.
The company is willing to consider giving the use of another of their lines in the event of a breakdown. It is understood that the Dominions Commission after consulting the Canadian Governmentnext month intends to recommend the acceptance of the Western Union's offer.
