THE CABLE GUARANTEE.
The Victorian Post Office has written to the Postmaster-General of New Zealand, intimating its intention to withdraw from contributing to the Cable Guarantee Fund, under which the present low rates for European and intercolonial messages are maintained. The Hon Mr Ward has replied, and strongly urged reconsideration, pointing out that should Victoria withdraw the other colonies will have to do the same, with result that the rates for all cable messages would be increased to something bke the former high tariff, to the serious inconvenience of public and general business. Mr Ward has also asked the Postmaster-General, South Australia, to confer with other colonies to dissuade Victoria from withdrawing.
