THE CABLE RING.
HOW IT KEEPS UP CHARGES. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Received 11, 11 p.m. Sydney, January 11. Mr. Henniker Heaton, in an interview, stated that Sir Joseph Ward had been a great advocate of cheaper cables, and had never failed to use all the eloquence of his power and to offer large subsidies binding New Zealand with the outside world. The deferred cable concessions, he said, were too amusing to contemplate when one realised that there were sixteen cables between England and America, capable of carrying 225,000,000 words per annum, while only 20,000,000 were sent. It was asserted, and not contradicted, that six to ten of these lines were kept idle by the cable ring. Vested interests were the only obstacle in tht> way of shilling cables.
