THE PACIFIC CABLE.
Sydxey, January 20. At the Cable Conference it was decided that the cost of the cable be defrayed in equal portions, and not on the population basis. The New Zealand and South Australian delegates demurred. It was pointed out in the case of New Zealand that the Colony derived an advantage over New South Wales and Victoria, inasmuch as the cable would touch there first. The proposal to pool the cost of the Port Darwin line was confirmed. The two delegates appointed to represent Australasia at the London Conference are to consult the Agents-General of the various colonies on all important points.
