Two days later his wife departed for New Zealand, promising to return and have the ceremony reperformed if her father consented. Failing to return he visited New Zealand. His wife informed him that she never intended to‘live with him.
THE ALL RED ROUTE
Sydney, June 18
The Chambers of Commerce Conference resolved that the Commonwealth Government should open negotiations with the British, Canadian and New Zealand Governments with a view to jointly acquiring control of a cable across the Atlantic from Canada to the United Kingdom, and a reduction of the present excessive rate for commercial cables. Senator Keating stated that Australia was insisting on such a cable, and New Zealand was willing to co-operate. Nothing definite had been heard from Canada, while the attitude of the Imperial Government appeared contradictory.
