THE VANCOUVER SERVICE.
AUSTRALIAN COMMENT. By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright Melbourne, December 20.

At one time Queensland was ready to have the call at Brisbane discontinued. To discontinue thc call at Brisbane would not add to the time between Sydney and Vancouver, and it would lead Po a reduction in the cost, as Xcw Zealand would bear a proportion of the subsidy. If the steams called" both at Brisbane and at Auckland, the trip would be lengthened '>v twcntT-fnur hours. BeTore the term (if the^ interim agreement expired an entirely altered service would be consider, eel. The Canadian Government has signified that it has no objection to the steamer calling at Auckland.
