IMPERIAL CONFERENCE.
* [BY BLBOTRIO TELEGRAPH — COPYRIGHT.] [P-R PBBSS A-SOOIATION.] (Received May 17th, 9.8 a.m.) London, May 16. The Chronicle says the Conference was unusually fruitful compared with its predecessors. The Westminster Gazette comments on Mr Deakin and Dr. Jamesou very severely, and asks whether it is fair that forty millions in the United Kingdom should be coerced by ap peals to patriotism of the Empire into submitting to taxation for the benefit of colonial farmers already prosperous. "Do the colome-*," adds the Gazette, "wish democratic statesmen to make cause with thr* Conservative and anti-Democratic I'arties ! to further a policy which will raise the prioe of the necessai'ies of life. There was no freedom gre.W than free trade. England never attempted to force her policy up>i the selfgoverning colonies."
