PACIFIC CABLE BOARD.
CHAIRMANSHIP QUESTION. (bv cabix—pjusa Assocunov-^-conaiaax) IiTTSTHAUAN AHD K.» ISO «UJI CABULj LONDON, November 30. There has been a. further abortive discussion among the partner Governments regarding the appointment of a chairman to the Pacific Cable Board. Apparently they consider the expense involved in the) appointment inopportune until the respective functions of the beam and the cables are more clearly denned. The aggregate traffic between Britain and Australia and New Zealand has increased, but the beam competition has affected the Board's revenue and is likely to continue to attract the class of traffio demanding speed and cheapness, though the cables are more secret and accurate. It is impossible at present to determine whether the beam is permanently competitive or comptefmentary to the cables.
