RIVAL CABLE ROUTES.
[per press association—copyright.]
Melbourne, October 17. The Ago says that the connecting links of the Pacific Cable are likely to cause trouble. It is patent that there is a desire on tke part [of New Zealand to monopolise or gain the greater partot the / Australia traffic for her connecting line. \ This would be a decided disadvantage to V Queensland, who confidently reckoned on the whole of the Australian business being sent by the Pacific route coming over her land lines. For some time past the New Zealand Government have been working to obtain a State-owned cable between Sydney and Auckland. This V* now within measurable distance. With this cable completed, Queensland s chance of a monopoly of the Australian business ends. New Zealand also offered to provide all the necessary staff for the Pacific ' v Cable, as far as that colony is concerned, at its own expense, thereby securing the full control of the business as far as Norfolk Island.' f The possibilities of the situation are being eagerly disgussed in Queensland.
