FEDERATION CONVENTION.
Sydney, this day
The Convention, this morning, went into Committee, and decided to take the clauses relating to finance into consideration.
The Treasurers of the various colonies briefly outlined the amendments proposed by their Legislatures in the hnancial clauses. Mr McMillan, although a freetrader, said he recognised that New South Wales must give freetrade in order that a workable financial scheme could be devised. He was willing to leave such a schema to the Federal Parliament. He hoped Mr Eeid would agree to this, Mr Reid interjecting " I certainly do not."
