The Telegraphic Service.
(Per Press Association.) Welungton, This Day. The new cable on board the Tainui will be laid at once from Otoronga Bay on the same route as the last cable,. This will give four lines to the South Island. The Telegraph Department are now engaged in extending copper lines to Auckland, and the resistance in the copper is so reduced that Auckland can be worked as easy as a place 20 miles from Wellington, and consequently in bad weather the lines will be less subject to interruption from leakage. Christchurch is already connected with copper wire but it will be some months before the north extensions are completed.
