Sir John Nicholson Barron, member of Parliament for the Hawick Burghs and Parliamentary Secretary to the Postmas-ter-General, informed a meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of the. United Kingdom on March 13 that very soon there would be introduced a telegraphic machine which would tick off dispatches between England and other parts of tho British Empire at the rate of fiftywords a minute. The announcement was made while Sir John Ilarran was opposing a motion, in favour of tho British Government's co-operating in the establishment of an All-British transatlantic cable, on the ground that the present cables were under American control. Sir John • asked the meeting, in view of tho pending developments in telegraphy, not to pledge itself at present, and the motion was withdrawn.
