ANNEXATION OF NEW HEBRIDES.

Interesting Debate in tho Bouse of Lords,

|B\' OUR LOXDOS CoHEES-WOE-iT.]

Hearimi tlicre wa6 quite likely to be v ratlier interesting discussion as to tlie annexation of the New Hebrides in the House of Lords on "Monday week (July 2), I took some trouble to obtain special admis sion to the Press Gallery for that afternoon, and in due course found myself gazing respectfully down on a rather sparse attend ance of England's hereditary legislators. The Colonial Annexation debate did not come first on the day's programme. Their lordships weic talking about tramways at the time of your representative's arrival, and after listening for about half an hour, I really began to fear they would never come to the end of the hopelessly-weary discus sion. At live, however, Lord Car narvon entered and sat down, and in a gallery set apart for notable strangers I espied Mr R. Murray Smith, Sir Dillon _Belf,'.iand Sir Saul Samuel. The Mc- Arthurs were also present in tlie Commons seats, likewise Mr Brogden and other M.l'.'s taking an interest in colonial ques tions. Lord Lamington (who, I expect, will be better known to your readers as Mr Baillio-Coehrano) opened the ball by rising to ask the Secretary of State for tlie Colonies whether the ad ministration of Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, and New . Zealand were urging on the Imperial Government the desirability of annexing the New Hebrides, the Solomon Islands, and other groups in the Pacific, and if he would state how far any colonial Government was justified in annexing territory or even ad- , vising annexation without the previous consent of the Imperial Government. Lord Lamington then pro ceded to show that ho, at any rate, would vehemently oppose further annexations in the Pacific. Annexation was like suzerainty, a very fine word'; nevertheless, the act itself was akin to spoliation, and reminded him of the principle, " They may take who have the power, aud they may keep who can." The real object of these annexations was one connected with the free labour ques tion. What, he asked, occurred the other day in Queensland ? As soon as the annex ation of New Guinea was effected, a ship was sent from Port McKay to look for labourers whose condition, if not slavery, would certainly amount to servitude. The noble lord then read extracts from the Mel bourne "Argus," and from despatches of Commodore Wilson, and "that most dis tinguished of colonial Governors," Sir Arthur Gordon, tending to show the folly of doing anything to assist the "nefari ous traffic in native labour." He also protested strongly against our colonies being permitted to annex large islands with out referenco to the Imperial Parliament. If such doings were allowed, the Home Go vernment would find itself in a fine fix one of these days. fcord Norton—who ad dressed the Houbo in a patronising whisper — reminded their lordships that the policy which his noble friend had called in question had marked every period of our colonial history, espe cially the most brilliant. He should take it to be a very bad sign if we lost the noble feeling of colonisation. The first symptoms of decadence amongst the Romans, was their restricting and drawing in the outskirts of their empire, considering that those extremities wero a burden upon thorn, and were unable to support themselves. If, however, we adopted tlio same principle, we should not have the same fate, because our colonies had too much of the spirit of growth in them to be stifled by orders from Home.

This last sentiment extracted several "hear hears," the body of the House plainly approving tho speaker's views. When Lord Norton sat down, Lord Car narvon got up, and' the manner in which most of those present prepared to listen clearly showed that the utterances of tho ex Minister for the Colonies would cany great weight. In my humble opinion, Lord Carnarvon made a most cogent and practical speech. His concluding words were:—The Australian colonies had adopted in the case of New Guinea the policy he in vited them to adopt in the case of Fiji; they had expressed themselves ready to accept the entire burden of the expense, and to leave the administration to her Majesty's Government. In all the circumstances it seemed to him that it was the duty of the Government to consider whether they could not meet the colonists. The question was, comparatively speaking, little understood at Home, and we could scarcely appreciate the interest it had for tho Australians. Ho hoped the noble lord, the Colonial Secretary, would not only weigh his words carefully, but would show that ho had hearty sym pathy with the colonists. (Hear, hear). Lord Longford remarked that Parliament would be glad to hear what were the views of the Government as to the relativs position of this country and the colonies, and the Duke of Manchester strongly supported a policy of annexation. His Grace pooh poohed Lord Lamington's assertion that Australian colonists were inclined sub rosa to support a servitude strongly resembling slavery. In Victoria and New Zealand there was no coloured labour at all,and the Island natives who volunteered for three years, service in Queensland found life so pleasant there that they often refused to be sent back home. ■

After some inaudiblo observations from a person said to be Lord Stanley, of Alderly. Lord Dorby said: —lt is most essential that we should know whether we agree with it or not, what colonial feeling is upon questions of this kind, and I am very happy to find that the system which has been of late established of giving to tho Agents- General for the self-governed colonies what I may call a ji-cm'-diplomntio character and position, has made it much more easy than it formerly was for any person holding tho ofiico which I havo the honour to> hold to obtain information as to tho feeling which prevails in the colonies themselves on local matters. Ido not think there i 3 any use in discussing the general argument as to whether annexations aro desirable or not, and if they aro to take place, whether thoy should bo effected on tho responsibility of tho colony or on tho responsibility of the Homo Government. . You cannot lay down in such matters any hard-and-fast line. (Hear.) Circumstances differ so much that no two cases resemble one another, and no ono case cau be quoted as a precedent for others. Passing from theso general considerations, I think the best answer I can givo to tho question of my noble friend will be to state briefly, and with no more comment than is absolutely necossary, what has actually taken place. When I last spoke on this subject somo'weeks ago, I told your lord ships all that I know, but I knew vory little. I knew nothing more than that a ceromony, purporting to bo an annexation of New Guinea, had been gone through at the order of the Government of Queensland, and that an explanation of that singular and unusual proceeding was about to be sent Homo. Well, of course, before expressing any opinion upon the matter, it was necessary to hoar tho explanation that would bo given. I have now received it, and I am bound .to say that it does not throw much fresh light upon the transaction, and that it does not in any way satisfactorily account'for tlie action that was taken. The explanation given comes to no more than this—that there were strong reports throughout Australia of the intention of some Power—nobody know what Power—to seize upon Some; part —nobody knew what part—of New Guinea. (A laugh.) For theso reports it does not appear that there was a shadow of proof forthcoming. They were simply a creation of tho anxiety of the colonists in the matter, and as a matter of fact— and, of courso, I have token all possible pains to inquiro —we are tolerably well assured that as regards the- leading European Powers, by the only ono that was at all likely to interfore in such a matter no such intention was entertained. Considering that telegraphic communication existed- between Queensland and this country, it would not havo involved a delay of more than 24 hours to havo asked for the sanction of the Imperial authorities before proceeding to this act of so-called annexation. (Hear, hear.) If they did not apply for leave, it was in consequence of their entertaining a decided and, perhaps, a reasonable apprehension .that that sanction would not be granted. And now, my lords, as to the effects of this former act, the noble lord wants to know, and he has a per fect right to know, what are the rights and powers of Colonial Governors in such matters. I quite apprehend that the eTect of tho action of tho Governor of Queens land is simply null. A Governor or any official holding authority i undei- a Government exercises that autho rity within the limits of the jurisdiction assigned to him, but beyond those limits, as I understand the master, his commission does not go; beyond tiose limits he ceases to bo invested with any official power, and an act, therefore, done by him beyond his jurisdiction is no more, in regard to its legal effect, than the act of anybody else. Tho action of tlie Gov ernor of Queensland, therefore,' in this matter, has left things where they were. Of course it may be said that any person, even though not invested with official power, may take possession of a newly -discovered country, in tho neighbourhood, but it cannot

be contended that Now Guinea is an undis covered country,'and Ido not think-"it will be contended that if any passing traveller were to take possession of New Guinea such an act would be held to bo valid ac cording to international law. Now, then, the question arises—What is the course which tho Government will be prepared to take 1 My lords, I may say at once, we are not prepared to undertake tho annexation of Now Guinea. I do not suppose that that decison will be any surprise to your lordships or to Parliament. The enormous extent of territory, the abso" lutely unknown character of tlie interior the certainty that the large native popula tion, numberingseveral millions, wouldobject to foreign annexation, and the enormous ex pense of undertaking to administer such a territory, are all reasons which, I think, will be admitted as valid against that course being taken. Even if upon the]general ques tion we had come to different conclusions I think your lordships will agree that it would be practically impossible that the Govern ment of Queensland should take upon them selves tho work of holding and administer ing that country. Queensland lias already vast unsettled land. It is a very prosperous and promising colony, but it is a colony whose population is exceedingly small in comparison with the extent of the country. I think if you look at the man you will see that the capital is something like 1,000 miles distant from the coast of New Guinea, If, therefore, anything is to be done in tlie way of conquering and administering New Guinea, one thine is clear, that it must be done by the Imperial Government or by the Australian Colonies acting together, or by both those agencies combined. New Guinea was not a country which could be called the dependency'of any colony. I can quite understand the Australian feeling as to the coast of New Guinea being a country which lies within the scope of British influences and interests. My lords, I purposely use vague and general language, but undoubtedly we should not view it as a friendly act if any other country attempted to mako a settlement on that coast. Further than that, we shall be pro pared to strengthen the hands of those charged with preserving order in the Pacific Islands, and we shall consider with the colonies the different means for better secur ing the order of the country so far as the British adventurers are concerned. It may be said, "It is quite true you may get juris diction over the natives, but you will have no jurisdiction over foreigners." It is a question how far we may obtain jurisdiction over foreigners. It would be seldom necessary to exercise juris diction over the natives if thoir rights or their lands were not interfered with. I do not know that I have anything to add ex cept that I shall be prepared to lay upon the table in a few days the corres pondence that has passed; there is not very much of it, because I have already given your lordships and the other House of Parlia ment the earlier correspondence. ' I ought to mention, In further answer to the question my noble friend has put to me, that I have received within the last few days a suggestion or proposition very much larger than that for the annexation of New Guinea only. I had an official representa tion made to me by the Agents of the various Australian Colonies, speaking, and authorised to speak, in the name ol their Governments, to consider proposals—first, for the annexation of New Guinea; secondly, of the New Hebrides; thirdly, of tho Solomon Islands and the islands in the neighbourhood of New Guinea; and fourthly, of those very large and almost entirely unknown islands wrhich lie to the north-east of New Guinea, and which occupy, collectively, an area larger, I should think, than France and Germany. I could not hold out any great hope that Her Majesty's Government would see -that question in the light in which it would be received in Australia, but I am bound to recognise the fact that the Aus tralian people in general, although tEey certainly do not want any extension of terri tory, are very strongly impressed with the danger before them if any foreign Power, great or small, were to establish themselves in a settlement some hundred miles fro__Mha Australian coast. I cannot say I share in that fear. I think thoy under rate their own powers and their own Importance, and that they have really no such cause for fear as they suppose. But, at the same time, with reference to a general opinion of that kind among the great majority of tlie inhabitants of such a country as Australia, it certainly is a thing that no wise Minister in this country would ignore, but this question will havo to be considered in all its bearings. They did not" ask for any immediate action to be taken; they simply wished to lay their views before Her Majesty's Government, and I asked them to place those views on paper so that they could bo laid beforo tho Cabinet, and they could consider them. What I said to these Colonial Agents I will repeat now :—

" If the Australian people desiro an ex tension beyond their present limits tho most practical step that they could take, the ono which will most facilitate any opera* tion of that kind, and diminish in the greatest degree the responsibilities of tHe Mother Country, would be the confederation of those colonies in one united whole, which would be powerful enough to undertake and to carry through tasks for which no ofie colony is at present sufficient." Ido not dwell upon that point. I only throw it out as I did to those gentlemen who did me the honour to call upon mo, but I think that is really one of the points of the greatest possible importance in dealing with this subject, and certainly in dealing with further Australian questions, ("clear, hear.) '_ '~

The above speech is so important—from every point of view—that I make no excuse for quoting it at length. When Lord Derby sat down, the dinner hour was ap proaching, and Lord Lamington's motion for the production of papers having been agreed to, the House adjourned. Lord Derby is a pleasant speaker to listen to. He enunciates distinctly, and keeps Ms audience quiet and attentive.

Lord Carnarvon, on the other hand seems nervous, refers frequently to notes, and makes aggravating pauses. He is, however, an absolute Themistxocles beside somo of our hereditary legislators, many of whom hava as much idea of making a speech as of mix ing a pudding.

NOTES FROM OHINEMUTU.

[by a correspondent.]

The mail coach commenced running between Tauranga and Ohinemutu, via Ttf • Puke and Te Taheke, on the 13th instant for the first time. This new route* has ad' vantages over the Oropi Bush road, as it passes through some fine land suitable for farming, besides the rising settle-' ment of Te Puke, ana. it skirts along 'the shores of both Rotditi and Rotorua Lakes. There are only about two miles of bush on this road; whereas on the Oropi line there are eighteen miles of bush. In summer this new route cannot fail but to be attractive for tourists,' although it is expected that a good many will come by one of the above roads and re turn by the other. There will be throe changes of horses instead of two changes, such as is upon tlie Oropi Koad. There is good hotel accommodation at Te Puke, about 16 miles from Tauranga, and Mr J. H. Taylor, of Ohinemutu, is having a« accommodation house erected at To Taheke, about 14 miles from Ohinemutu, on the shores of Rotoiti Lake. The Oropi Road •is likely to bo the most -popular in summer, when it will have got clear of it* bogs and the slush that infest it so badry in winter. - ' ' • ■ -.' '' ■-.• "

It is expected that tho now: road from Ohinemutu to Cambridge will be opened for" traffic this year, Tho contractors nt'this' end of the road, Messrs Home and Reid,' are pushing through with it. For those5 who dislike a sea voyage this will bo their' way to tho Lakes, as they can have tram from Auckland to Hamilton, thence coach to Cambridge, and then one day's drive from Cambridge to Ohinemutu. There is one disadvantage of a scarcity of water on this road. ;' '"!:

Tho Native Lands Court is sitting at' Ohinemutu, with JudgesO'BrienandMairon* the bench, hearing the claimant and counter-' claimants for a large block of land in the; vicinity of Rotorua. The natives are to be complimented upon the order and docoru'fri that mark their conduct both insido the Court-liouse and outside of it. No one who; has attended such Courts in other p'rts or the country can fail to see the marked irfl-. provement upon the manner in which the; natives 'conduct their cases; instead of employing lawyers, they rely on their own. resources. , ', ~

In a district such as this, where there is a population of both races, Sergeant Abrams, of the police force, is deserving w ; honourable-mention for the tact and thej ablo manner in which he discharges MS* onerous duties. No doubt the happy, consummation of the conduct of the natives is partly'due to the vigilant look-out of. Sergeant Abrams, whose maxim evidently is the prevention of crime rathor than its, detection. •;,..;
