New Zealand and Federation.

. _», AN AUSTRALIAN OPINION. Beceived April 5, 9 21 am Sydney, April 5 The Daily Telegraph, m an article commenting on New Zealand ami the Commonwealth, says if it be trap, as gome of she Federal Commissioners complained, that very little interest is taken here m their Australian proceed ings, the reason probably is that doubt is felt as to whether Hew Zealand or ifs \ Goverament, at anyrate, is m earnest on j the question. By joining m federation, New Zealand woaid have available open < murkets of six States instead of one. The commercial gain from federation, m fact, is on the side of New Zealand, the more so as the manufactures will advance, that colony need not fear Australian competition. As to the terms of admission, the exception made m favour of Westralia m rospect of the tariff"might be extended to New Zealand; The control suggested by Mr Peacock seemed to go a little too fsr. It was time enough to go systematically m these matters when New Zealand's mind was made up. All we know at present is that the colony remaiaed aloof all along because the Ministry opposed federation for the reason the colony would Jose its status, which, if held by the people generally, makes all enquiry and argument a waste of time.

The Manchurian Convention.

United PrHge Aaseciation —By Eleotrlo Telegr ph- Copyright London, April 3 The New York Herald reports that Japan has promised to support China m not signing the Manchnrian Con veution; The Morning Post states that the Japanese Minister at St Peterburg has protested against any coercion oi China. The Tokio correspondent of the Times reports that Russia replied to the Japanese protests expressing her unwillingness to discuss with a third Power a convention which was of a temporary character, The terms of the Convention would be published hereafter, and if they were considered objectionable representations would then be possible. President M'Kinley is pleased at the firmness of China m refusing to sign the Convention,

THE CRISIS IN CHINA

United Press Association—By Eleotric Telegraph—Copyright London, April 3 Ohioa has agreed that Killan JSsu, on the island of Amoy, should beconverted into a foreign settlement on the model of Shanghai In conversation concerning the Manchurian convention, Li Hung Chang told Dr Morrison that China ■would not dare to divulge its secret agreement with Russia, neither would China dare to forbid the threatened annexation of Manchuria, nor cancel conditional pledges. He was convinced the convention would ultimately be signed; He treated the attitude of the 6' athern province with indiflfarencp. He concluded tl c interview by stating that- a respite of twenty years would enable Ohina to again become strong (Reeeivrd Wakapuaka April 5, 9 55 a m This Office 10 am) London April 4 Ohini has noUfied Russia that owing t 0 the attitude of the Powers, she la unable to sign the convention, and that she cannot alienate the sympathy of all for the sake of one friendship, Reuters advices from Canton are that the Courb has informed the Viceroy thab a peaceable settlement of afftira is impossible. Prominent Canfoncse are despondent over the situation. The Standard says the Dowager secretly gave an audience to GeDeral Tungfuhsiang, and begged him to maintain a largo force of militia at Ningshi to assist the Oourb m the evonb of further complications with the Allies.

THE PIONEER EMULSION r Lane's Creasoted Emul sion of Cod Liver Oil, with Hypophosphitcs of Lime and Soda, was the first Creasoted Emulsion pre pared Creasote and Cod Liver Oil have each, separa tely, long been used by doctors m the curing of Consumption They have been found invaluable E G. Lane, Chemist, Oamaru, was the first to successfully incorporate the two m an emulsion, and the combination has wonderfully increased their med icinal values. Fresh eggs are used tc emulsify the whole, and they increase the flesh-forming, health giving value of the Emulsion. But a word of warning. Xane's Creasoteb Emulsion is being imitated by some chemists. When Lane's is asked lor they offer theirs as being ' just as good.'
