CONFERENCE OF PREMIERS
CABLE PKOPOSALS,
Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. SYDNEY, January 28. (Received Jan. 28, at 5.p.m.) The Premiers' Conference has concluded. It exhaustively discussed the Eastern Extension Company's Cape cable proposals. Mr' Lyne states that a majority of the Premiers favoured the modified scheme submitted by the company, but further information is required on several points. Until this is received no final decision can be arrived at. The matter has been left over for 10 days. When he is advised of the decisions of the various Governments he will communicate with the Imperial .authorities. One of the contemplated alterations in the original proposal is that the right to distribute messages should not be given to the company till the Pacific cable is constructed. Mr Lyne says that the discussion of the conference in no way interferes with the Pacific scheme. This had material weight with the* Premiers in arriving at a decision.
