FEDERAL CONVENTION.

[Pub Pbess Association.— Copyright.]

SYDNEY, September 6, It is likely that the Federal Convention will take up the discussion on finance first, and subject the whole question to an exhaustive debate, leaving the other matters to be; adjourned by the Convention unless the financial debate should occupy less time than is anticipated. The Convention this morning went into committee.

It was 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 financial clauses. Mr M'Millan (New South Wales), although a Freetrader, recognised that New South Wales must give up Freetrade in order that a workable financial scheme could be devised. He was willing to leave such a scheme to the Federal Parliament. He hoped that Premier Reid would agree with this.

Mr Reid (interjecting): I certainly do not.
