Synopsis
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Colonial Conference at London, in 1887, in Relation to Imperial Postal and Telegraphic Communications Through Canada
The important proposals of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company for a ser vice of powerful steamers between Vancouver and Hong Kong, by way of Japan, was not discussed at length in the Conference, being already under the consideration of Her Majesty's Government. Attention was however, called by the Canadian representatives to this scheme, as well as to that for establishing a line of steamers from Vancouver to Australia, and it was stated that the mails could be carried to Australian and Asiatic ports in considerably less time, and at less cost, by these Pacific routes than at present.
