It also urges some 'united action to reduce the cost of messages where a number of journals receive the same one, as in England aud America. DITNEDItf, Oct. 5.

The Daily Times points out that the restriction of only sending 200 words of the last mail telegrams, and then breaking for private purposes, is contrary to the printed regulations of the Telegraph Department, and the Government imposed the restriction unlawfully. It is believed that the arrival of the Gothenburg with the mail telegrams was made known on Thursday night in Dunedin, Christchurch, and Wellington. The fact was known here.
