and that those telegrams were kept from him
during the whole period. and that at length he
saw npon the table of the Minister, when he

den hele Tid og endeligt saa han paa Ministe
rens Bord, da han kom for at afgjøre Kontrak

1246. Yil De sammenligne Deres Orakost
ninger ved at modtage Efterretninger paa denne
Maade med de nærværende Omkostninger ved at
modtage Efterretningerne afTelegrafkompagnierne ?
— Det er ikke ganske let at sammenligne dem;

klare, at for Nærværende modtages en stor Del
af de Nyheder, der puhliceres i Provindsbladene,
efter en Subskriptionskontrakt med Telegrafkom,-
