Lord Hopetoua's Case.

BRITISH COMMENT

LORD HOPETOUN'3 VIEWS

AUSTRALIAN SYMPATEV. London, May 16 Referriag to Lord Hopetoon's re (|aea6 to be recalled from the Governor* Generalship of the Oomcaonwealth, tbe St James Gazette saya that Lord Hope ttmn'fl restga&tlon is apparently ua avoidable, and is Binoerely to be ro grefeted, II hopes that candidates for the position will have sufficient means,' and the generosity to lavish them. The Westminster Gazette says that the colonial standpoint ia d-fi-'renb from the British, bus Lord Hopetoun's deoi moa most be taken as final, The establishment of the Governor-Oeneral most be plaoed on a footing that the salary admits of. Mr Oopeland, Agent-General inter* viewed, stated the New South Wales Government was informed that prior to Lord Hopetotm'a departure for Aus tralia, considerable additional allow* ances would be required if the estab lishments of the Governor-General were to be matntameci In Sydney and Mel bourne,

Mr Tozer, the Queensland Agent- General, laid the refusal of the House of Representatives to grant the money requisite to maintain the position, was a alar oa the representative institution of the Common wealth. It would be interpreted as an evidence of the want of prosperity, Melbourne, May 16 Lord Hopetoan is flooded with mmmgm of regret from public men and bodies throughout the Commonwealth, From the first It would appear that tbe Governor-Gene r 4 believed the position would be endowed with a provision sufficient to uphold it with reipooftble liberality as one of the great Imperial posts. He considers it im pose its! c bow to reasonably uphold it on lew than £10,000 a year, with £8000 aa allowances, and that under the terras of the programme, as first propounded, the post waa purely ad ministrative, without administrative power. As a result the G >vernor- General will occupy, in the eyes of the people, a lesser position than did the former Governors of the colonies.

It transpires that after the recent debate in the Reuse on Lord Hope fcoan'a Establishment Dill, (he Federal Premier and Treasurer were inter viewed, and frankly Informed Lord Hopecoun of their opinion that Parlia ment would not In future entertain the idea of granting any allowances what" ever.

It waa stated that Lord Hopetonn was careful ihroughcmfc not to give the Cabinet a bint of bis intentions, and Mr Barton will receive the first news of his resignation on reaching Colombo:
