(from our own correspondent.) DUNEDIN, Oct. 7. The Telegraph Question is being discussed. The Daily Times quotes the regulations of the telegraph department, proving the illegal conduct of the Government in suppressing the Press Association telegrams for several hours, by claiming a priority for Government telegrams, and restricting the number of words transmitted to two hundred. It also stated the facts relating to the last mail telegrams to the New Zealand Press Association being ''specially telegraphed from the Argiis Office to Queuiiscliffe at half-past nine o'clock at night; the steamer waiting to receive them, and they could not, therefore, have been properly obtained by the Wellington Independent. The case will brought into the Supreme | Court. An Agent has been despatched to the Bluff and Melbounre to collect evidence.
