The Cable Question. ____.—» ■->.—- United Press Association—By Eleotri- Telegraph—Copyright Brisbane, March 4 Mr Philip, replying to Mr Lyne, in reference to the Cape cable, says : " The Eastern Extension Company have conceded the reductions merely with the view of averting the competition of the Pacific cable. If granted, these would render the Pacific cable im possible, and the Company would secure a monopoly all the time, which would more than recompense them for the proposed reductions. It appears infinitely preferable to risk for the time vindictive action On the part of the company, which you consider probable, than loose a magnificent opportunity of securing an all-British cable under Stata control, which will also prove a valuable asset as regards any unreason able increase of rates by the company at the expiration of the existing agree ment. For General Weakness. The debilitating effects of a warm climate and exposure to all kinds of weather are sure to bring on disorders of the blood and weaken the system. Mr. Charles Geddes, of Mt. Malcolm, W. A., sends us his photograph, and tolls of a sure cure for these conditions. "For some time I have been landlord of the Royal Hotel in the Mt. Margaret gold fields district, eighty miles from the nearest railway. I have sola a great deal of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and it gives the most universal satisfaction. When miners, prospectors, and others become i run down by lack of fresh vegetables and fruits, and from exposure to all kinds of weather, their blood becomes very impure and the whole system greatly weakened. But AVER'S is always a sure cure. Tnave known miners to send a hundred miles for it, such is their faith in it." To cure constipation, biliousness, in digestion, and sick headache, there is no remedy equal to Ayer's Pills. Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mast.. U.S.A.
