GENERAL CABLES.

Received March 27, 8.43 a.m. LONDON, March 26. The "Times," commenting on Prince Bulow's recent speech in the Reichstag, says: "It is remarkable that neither Prince Billow, Lord Tweedmouth, or the British Cabinet denied the specific allegation that Lord Tweedmouth's letter communicated to the Kaiser, either fully or in substance, the naval estimates before they were presented to Parliament. (In the Reichstag, during a policy speech on foreign affairs, Prince Bulow referred at great length to "the Kaiser's private political letter to Lord Tweedmouth (First Lord of the Admiralty)," and he emphasised that it was a friendly and frank one, such as one sailor might write to another), j It has been notified that there will i be no pearl fishing at Colombo this I year. Matters in connection with the Franco-British Exhibition at Shepherd's Bush are backward, and the opening will probably be postponed till May 10th. Delay in finishing the Australian building is preventing ar- ' rangement of the exhibits. The South Australian Premier, Mr Price, dining at the Imperial Industrial Club, London, explained that Australian Socialism, as applied to railways, assisted Imperial industries and cheapened food for England.
