THE INTER-COLONIAL CON FERENCE.

[HV TKLKOIIAI'II.]

Stoney, November 2S.

The Federation Convention commenced its sitting this morning, considerable opposi tion being shown by the Sydney delegates to giving the proceedings too much publicity. In fact, the attitude of New South Wales scorns to be lukewarm in the extreme. The N.S.W. Government does not appear to have made the smallest demonstration over tho matter, and they do not even propose to honour the visit of so many distinguished politicians by adjourning Parliament. The delegates so far have been loft serenely alone by tho local big guns. Upon tho arrival of the delegates, there was not even .a member present to receive them, and they were allowed to find thoir way to their respective hotels as best thoy could. The impression left upon one's mind after a con versation with a number of local people is, that in Sydney a very half hearted feeling exists over the Convention. They seem to regard tho benelioial results likely to arise from the deliberations of the Convention as being very problematical,and chiefly calculated to benefit Victoria and Queensland. There exists iv Sydney a strong feeling -.if jealousy. Her great rival is Victoria. There is also a lurking suspicion that sho is trying hard to gain an advantage over New South Wales, though n» onchns anything like a clear idea how this over-reaching business is to be accom plished. Tho attitude of the Sydney press is decidedly not enthusiastic, and tho papers devote the smallest possible amount of space to Convention matters. The fol lowing is a specimen of what, is published in local journals :—" Federation is sup pi scd to be progressing now ; is anybody conscious of new influences?" Another paragraph says : " The) Ministers of Justice and Agriculture of Victoria aro inspecting the system of water supply. They may do as much good that way as their seniors in conference." The chief argument in opposition to Mr Service's motion for the admission of the Press was urged by the Sydney delegates, who pointed out that then' House was now in session, and that the publication of reports might causo com plications if members asked questions in tho House relative to the Convention busi ness. Messrs Berry, Service, and Herferd and the New Zealand delegates strongly supported the motion to give full publicity to certain portions of the proceedings, but all the other delegates sided with Sydney, and tho motion was lost by live colonies voting against two. Upon W. Service's resolutions, the whole subject of annexation was opened up and generally discussed at length. Some excellent speeches were made, and much I valuable and special information placed be fore the Convention. Every member spoke. In general the speeches were decidedly favourablo to a policy of annexation, the only divergence seeming to arise from the question as to how far the policy was to bo applied. Somo delegates, notably the Queensland and New South Wales rep resentatives, ranked themselves on tho side of thoso who favoured limited annexation, as they believed that moderate demands would bo favourably entertained by the Imperial authorities. Thoy contended that what Victoria was striving for was too broad a policy, and from that very fact stood in danger of failing altogether. These ob jections scorned to havo great weight with some of the delegates. Mr Griffiths, who may be regarded as leader of the limited annexation section, laid great stress upon the risk they ran by asking for the annexa tion of all the islands of the Pacilic, of losing tho more immediate object of the movement, viz., the security of New- Guinea. He said he felt thoroughly confi dent that if the annexation of New Guinea was alone asked for, it would be im mediately obtained. Mr Whitakcr sup plied some interesting facts concern ing the Navigator and Friendly Islands, and submitted resolutions affirm ing the desirability of these islands being secured in tho interests of Austral asia, The broader and more comprehensive policy is not regarded favourably by the Now South Wales delegates. The position they take may bo described in a few words —that whilst not entirely opposed to the general policy of annexation, they regard moderate demands as practicable and easily to bealtained without delay, whereas the large scheme presents no prospect, of a speedy solution. On one point the whole of tho dolegntcs arc perfectly unanimous and firm—that is, the transportation of French criminals. All the representatives have spoken warmly. They desire that nothing shall be left untried to prevent the threatened possibility of the Australian colonies boing overrun by French convicts. Thoy urged that representations should be made to tho English Covernment not to allow any such innovation as was proposed by the French Senate, and that the greatest precaution should be taken to seem-o the neutrality of tho New Hebrides group of islands in order to prevent a repetition of the breach of faith on the part of Fiance which occurred in the case of the Loyalty Island, upon which tho French flag was hoisted. It was further argued that sending a large number of French criminals to French possessions in the Pacific was tantamount to a breach of the understand ing arrived at between tho two Powers re garding the New Hebrides. With regard to the question of defraying the costs of governing the islands annexed, the dele gate* generally favoured the idea that the colonies should not and would not shirk the responsibility and liability. In a vague manner some of the speakers hinted at. the desirability of establishing a Federal Coun cil. Mr Berry indicated that if annexation ensued such a Council wfts an absolute nocossity. Mr Stuart laid bofore tho Convention the following resolutions passed by the Con gregational Union of Now South Wales last month :—" That in the opinion of this Union, it is in the highest degree important in the interests of peace and civil and reli gious freedom that the sovereignty of the British Empire should be paramount in the Southern seas, and hence that the occupa tion of New Guinea and New Hebrides by any other power would he inimical to the future welfare of the colonies of Austra lasia and the native races inhabiting theso seas." Mr Stuart also submitted a letter from Mr Henry Cave, Chairman of public meetings held at Levuka on 15th September ana Bth November, embodying a series of resolutions passed by tbe meet ings. The writer stated that a numerously attended public meeting was held at Levuka on the date first named with the object of taking action to express the strong and growing feeling of discontent at the manner in whioh the Government of that colony was administered. A local committee was olected to give effect to tho resolutions then passed; and, at the same timo, a number of gentlemen resident in Australia were ap pointed to represent the colonists of Fiji in furtherance of the object sought to be at tained, A petition to the Queen and a memorial to the Convention wore prepared, and received almost universal support throughout the colony. At tho second public meeting resolutions were passed to tho effect that as Government wns not in a position to send representatives to the Con vention, a request should be made that the representatives appointed by the white inhabitants of Fiji at the public meeting at Levuka .on the L'Hh Soptepib.r should be allowed to speak in support of tho memorial. Another resolution expressed the hope that notwithstanding the presence in Sydney of an official or quasi-ollicial representative of tho Government of Fiji, tho memorialists would not bo debarred from giving expres sion before the Convention to the feelings of the white inhabitants of Fiji with regard to the present political condition of the colony; the third delegate to co-operate with the other gentlemen seloetod by tho Committee to represent the colonists of Fiji in Australia. The gentlemen forming the Committee re ferred to aro—Dr. Chalmers, Messrs Leefe, McEvoy, Langton, Edward Cox, Thompson (Melbourne), and Smith (Sydney).

A memorandum was laid on the table by Sir G. DesVoeux as to the future of New (Julnoa and Polynesia. With reference to tho question of Australian annexation or protectorate, ho considered that tho attain ment of the object desired by Australasia might be made consistent with the best interests of the Islands ; indeed, in view of the not unnatural reluctance pf the Imperial Government to undertake any additional responsibility, he had gradually been forced to tho ojjinioii that the control of tho con federated colonies over the islands afforded the only reasonable prospect of material and moral advantage to them, 'and the only rational hope that they would for centuries to come prove any substantial benefit to tho world at largo. He gave lengthy reasons for the conclusion, ohlef amongst which was the fact that there was no probability of Polynesia being closely populated by white men, because they must necessarily confine themselves to the cultivation of tropical products. Sir George Dcs Voeux thought that if, as indicated by Lord Derby's recent despatch, England will make a small addi tion to the British Squadron in the Western Pacific in connection with this policy, Australia could not expect more. As regarded the policy to be pursued in their administration, he strongly

deprecates any attempt in the first instance to govern the natives at the commencement. A number of Commissioners, say from 12 to 'JO. should lie stationed at the more import ant places; they should maintain native guard ; an odicer should have civil and criminal jurisdiction over all, and no inter ference or tribal warfare should be per mitted : but the Commissioners should always show themselves ready to offer friendly arbitration in native disputes so as to show their policy was one of peace. One swift despatch vessel should be given every live Commissioners, with power similar to those of the present High Commissioners. The Chief Commissioner should reside in Australia, probably Melbourne, where he would be comparatively free from the pressure of interests at variance with the policy pursued. The resolutions on annexation which were tabled on Thursday wore further discussed. Mr Dibbs spoke, but his utterances were not calculated to promote the harmony of the proceedings. He strongly supported the narrow policy which seemingly iinds so much favour with Queensland, namely, to confine the annexation movement to New Guinea. His speech might be described ns a violent one, and its burthen was that he saw no good in what came from Victoria. No attempt was made to reply to his harangue, and one can easily see how a few opposing representatives having a voice in the Convention might very easily nullify all good results which might follow the deliberations of the delegates. In anticipation oftliodanKersapprehended from an influx of the Frcneh criminals, it is now mentioned that some difficulties and complications might arise from a new quarter, from which such obstacles wore not anticipated. The position of Samoa and neighbouring islands has been brought into prominence since the delegates have met. A highly-instructive discussion has pro ceeded, and some delegates came prepared with special information of great value. Ono new point raised is that some action should lie taken to guard against the probablity of filibustering expeditions, which might be formed under protection of a charter granted to a company ostensibly with the design of carrying on a monopoly in legiti mate trade, but which might only prove a guise tor designs in the British name, nor add to the security of commerce and free intercourse in the Pacific Seas.

The discussion by the Convention has already been productive of one undeniable good—the shedding of a fierce light upon the whole surroundings. Sydney, December 2 —Tho Convention sat yesterday forenoon. Very little pro gress was made. The Committee sub mitted a draft resolution in reference to annexation. A discussion was initiated upon Mr Griffiths's resolution dealing with creating a Federal Council. The Queens land and New South Wales delegates advo cated the establishment of a council to deal with a limited number of subjects. Mr Service took up the larger position, though he indicated that any Federal Council, how ever limited in its scope upon initiation, would receive his hearty support. The proposed council is to deal with such inter colonial subjects as may be remitted by the different legislatures. Mr Dalley gave notice of motion proposing that a cable be laid between Australia and San Francisco via New Guinea, Fiji, and Honolulu, the expense to be borne by the Australian Governments. Amongst the correspondence received was a petition from the Rev. Mr Patterson (senior missionary of the New Hebrides Mission), protesting in filename of the New Hebrides missionary natives against France being allowed, in accordance with her new Convict Law, to transport thousands of her lowest criminals and convicts to her South Sen Islands. This would not only destroy the work of Christianising und civilising the natives of these islands, but would exter minate them, and be a prolific source of much evil to our Australian colonies. The prayer of the petition was that New Hebrides, New Guinea, New Britain, Now Ireland, Solomon Group, and all annexed islands between Queenland and Fiji should be annexed by the British Government. Reduotlon of Cable Charges, A letter was received from Mr Haymon, Secretary of the Victorian Chamber of Commerce, enclosing resolutions passed by the Chamber in favour of a reduction in cable charges. A communication was also received from Messrs Bennett and Heaton on the same subject, and suggesting the construction of a second cable beyond Aus tralasia—the intended length being 12,000 miles, and cost i' 8,000,000 ; the charges on the line to be '2s Cd per word, and a minimum charge for eight words of £1. Thoy urged that with these rates the c?,\)\^ would be more generally used, Excursion. A-n excursion on the harbour took plaoe. Two small steamers conveyed the party, which numbered 100. Luncheon was served, when a number of speeches were made. Mr Josephs, Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, presided. The usual loyal toast having been duly honoured, that of the Ministry of New South Wales was proposed. Mr Stuart, in responding, referred to the fact that at the present timo there were assembly in Sydney a number of tho ablest Australian politicians en an occasion which would be the greatest recorded jn Australian annals, Tho whole Australasian group was represented, and whatever the imme diate effects of the Convention might be, the ultimate result would undoubtedly be memorable in the history of the colony. It was a pride to himself as Presidont of the Convention. He knew that the desire of the whole of the delegates was to advance the interests of Australasia, and he antici pated that great benefits would accrue from these representative gentlemen exohanging their views upon important intercolonial subjects. Mr Dalley also respondtd, and in doing so. remarked that he hoped to see Federation an accomplished ( ao t, a,nd that the fiscal policy of Victoria would not be any obstacle in the way of agreement. Reference had hoen made to the exclusion of the pross from the Convention, but it would, he thought, have been undesirable to have given full publicity to the proceed ings. They were now on the eve of obtain ing some substantial results which might not have been so readily arrived at had tney admitted the press to the Cojifarenoe. Tho works of great diploiflatioals were usually published long after their death. The dele gates hoped that in a few days they would be able to show that they had done go<_(J work. The toast of "Our Guests" was. then proposed and duly honoured, Major Atkinson responded, and. said the occasion upon which they had met was the greatest in the history of tho colonies. He believed not only in Federation, hut regretted to say that their feelings were too much of a local character. There was a great future before them, and if they lost the present opportunity of doing a great work, their character would not speak their respectful terms. This was Ms fiyst visit to New South Wi^ps and Victoria, and he now s^vy that practioaily they were in ignorance of each other's affairs, notwithstanding their facilities of communication with eaoh other. They uvost unite and get better knowledge of one another's success. Australia Mas in its infancy, and united tho whole British races.
