THE CABLE RATES. "The Argus" thinks that though the proposed addition to the cable rates is small, yet the underlying principle is objectionable. There is no promise of permanency m the charges limit arrived at, and under any cir cumstances it would have been well to defer the alteration until the- effect of' the entry of New Zealand into the guarantee became known. " The Age" does not consider the increase will b«j likely to produce serious grumbling. The. feature of the Conference which is entirely, pleasant j is the accession of New Zealand.

INTERPROVINCIAL.

 . Wblunotok, August 17- At a meeting of the Wellington Ch:inv ber of Commerce to discuss the cable rates question, exception was taken to the request of the Government for a guarantee to make good the deficit likely to arise froni. the adoption of the Post master General's scheme, on the ground that it was introducing a new principle m asking a particular section of the public to give » guarantee. It was pointed out that when the proposal was made last year to remit eorite £40,000 a year on postal revenue by reducing rates, no necessity was seen for asking for a guaran tee from any section of the public, and there was no more reason why it should be done m the present instance. Ulti mately further consideration of the matter was postponed till Friday, with a view ot getting further information fmm the Go vernment. The report of the interview between tie Minister of Public Works and the depu tation from the railway servants, was for ward*d by the Minister to the Commis sioner?, who {have replied that the rela tions between themselves and the men ate quite cordial, and that the: deputation made erroneous statements calculated to mislead the Minister. They contend that the present machinery for appeal is quite sufficient. The letter ends by say ing that the misrepresentations made'to •tjie, Minister, can only confirm the Com ißigsUnare m their resolution not to dis cuss the a#airs,o£ the employees with any persons outside th^e rpf^y, a proceeding witiieb #W fivjdentyy neyer contemplated by the Legislature when j.t conferred powers on the Goranussiogere, Dukbwk, August 17* .

Mr Gladstone has submitted the names of the Government to the Queen, and dined with her Majesty at, Osborne. On his arrival »t Portsmouth Mr Gladstone was accorded an enthusiastic < welcome. . , " The Times " states that Lord Kim berley will be Secretary of State for 'the colonies. ' Lord F. Hervey, who was returned jas the Censervative member for Bury St. Edmunds at jfelpe general election having resigned, Lord tlhelsea will | contest the seat. ... The Earl pf Aberdeen will shortly succeed Lord Stanley, Preston, as Governor-General of Ganada. "To-day's cable re .Cabinet is con firmed, with the following additional appointments':—Lord Kirn berley t will be Secretary of State for the Indian Department, and Lord President of the Council; Sir George. D.Trevelyan, Secretary for Scotland; Mr Arnold Morley, Postmaster-General; M* C. T. Dyke-Acland, Vice-President of the 1 Education Department; Lord Hough i ton, Lord.Lieutenant pf Ireland.

(Received August 18, 11 a.m.) London, August 17. Lord Rosebery'« acceptance of office m the new Cabinet is officially an-' nounced, and m consequence, foreign stocks generally have hardened. Mr Labouchere has had some warm correspondence with Mr Gladstone on the subject of his inclusion m the Ministry. Mr Gladstone says the Queen showed some disinclination to his inclusion. « The Times" says that the Cabinet's vote will be unintelligent, owing to the docility of the members, who will really be chief clerks of Mr Gladstone.. The " Standard" hopes the Marquis of Ripon will show more tact as Secretary of State for the Colonies than he did as Viceroy of India. ■ ?• Chronicle'*doubts whether the Cabinet is df • sufficiently democratic character to meet with thei approval of the people. The " Daily New|" states that Lord Rosebery feared his health would not permit him to hold office, and that he is quite m accord with Mr Gladstone* policy. Mr Gladstone's address to the Mid lothian electors was quite of a formal nature. Mr Labouchere, has given notice to move next session that Egypt be evacuated by Great Britain. All the Ministers except Mr Morley will be re-elected unopposed. Mr Morley will have a bitter fight to retain his seat. ' It is reported that Lord Carrington will be raised tc an Earldom.
