Another Break in the Port Darwin Line.
(Per Press Association.) ApisiiAiDE, January 23. The Port Darwin Line, after restoration between Coduadatta and Straugways Creek, failed almost immediately between William Creek aud Coduodatta and communication is again completely interrupted. Melbourne, January 23. The Argus, in a leading article says : — '♦ The interruption of telgraphic communicatien is becoming intolerable. It would be absurd to blame the South Australian Government, but still if we are liable to be isolated in this way by the fracture of the land line, the demand for the lying of the Pacific cable will become irresistible. That cable would cost much more than we are likely to be able to afford for many years to come, but the word will have to be undertaken without delay, cost what.it may, unless we can have the assurance of constant communication by the existing routes.
