Sir J. G. Ward Interviewed.
Sir J. G. Ward, interviewed by a Star representative at Dunedin, said he intended to inaugurate a night train between Dunedin and Christchurch as soon as certain details, yet under consideration, were settled. His idea was to leave the Christchurch terminus at 3 p.m. and reach its destination at midnight. The success of the penny postage was firmly established and he hoped, when at Rome next year, to include other countries in its benefits. Mr Seddon goes to the Chathams for a prolonged rest, but there was no truth in his projected visit to the United States. The Government had brought under the notice of the contractor the desirability of adding Manchester to the ports of call by the West of England service, but the contractors had not yet replied. The Government intend taking over the refreshment cars on the raihvays and revoking the licenses at the railway refreshment rooms at Dunedin and Christchurch.
