TRANSCONTINENTAL RAILWAY
LORD DEN .MAN'S SPEECH. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Adelaide. September 16. Lord Denman, speaking at the sodturning ceremony, said that the event was important enough to find a place not only in the history of Australia but in that of the Empire. The railway was of strategic importance and would materially strengthen the weak points in the scheme of defence and would result in a community of interest, now- scarcely existing between Westralia and the eastern States. It would shorten the distance to England and be another link binding Australia to the Motherland. The work was worthy of the great statesmen of Australia. Other speeches were in a similar strain.
