favor of Pacific cable to America via
Samoa, Tanning Island, and Honolulu to
Vancouver. The substitute provides for
representation in the project of the re-
spective colonies, whose representatives
are asked to recommend their Govern
ments to guarantee, with other countries
interested, for period MOTTO exceed four
teen years, 4 per cent interest on a capi-
tai of 81 100000 to any company laying
Pacific cable, the tariff not to exceed
shillings per word for ordinary tele-
grams between Great Britain and the
colonies.
During the course of the debate which
followed the Introduction of the substi-
tute, attention was drawn to the fact that,
with the exception of Somoa and Homo
lulu, the cable would be exclusively on
British territory. Dibb warmly sup
ported President Wards motion, saying
he had no sympathy with the proposal to
extend the cable from New Caledonia, as
it might be dominated by the French.
The route ofthe new cable is to be from
Brisbane (Queensland). Australia, to
Ahdipara Bay, New Zealand, and from
there to Apia, Samoa; thence to Tanning
Island, continuing from there to the
Sandwich Islands, and from that point
to Vancouver; or from New Zealand to
Apia, Tanning Island, thence to Van
couver.
The delegates also adopted resolution
to the effect that the person or company
making the tender for the proposed new
steamship service must state whether it
intended to employ white or Asiatic labor
on board the steamers, and, in addition,
the conference recommended that mail
boats should only employ white labor
Several speakers expressed a desire
that the new mail steamers should be so
constructed as to be capable of being
transformed into cruisers in case of war.
