GREATER SPEED REQUIRED. Received July 8, 12.5 p.m. MELBOURNE, July 8. The Chief Commonwealth Electrical Engineer considers it would require an enorirous acceleration of speed to bring the cable rate within the possibilities of a penny a word, as suggested by Mr Henniker Heaton, M.P. "In the present state, to our knowledge," he says "higher speed on long-distance cable 3 than at present obtains dues not appear possible. It must be considered, however, that telegrams without wires were looked upon as a dream."
