London, July 24. At a meeting of the British Empire League the Duke of Devonshire, who presided,, said that although the Dominion of Canada and the Commonwealth of Australia contained within themselves the elements of great independent States, yet the signs were that both desired the connection with the Motherland to be strengthened. He welcomed the proposal made by Mr Seddon for strengthening the defences of New Zealand, and added that in these matters the Imperial Government had wisely left the initiative to the colonies.
On the motion of Lord Brassey the League congratulated Australasia on the accomplishment of Federation.
