WESTRALIAN SECESSION
DELEGATES IN LONDON [BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] LONDON, November 8. “No Secession speeches” was the implied order of the Chairman. Mr John Agnew, when proposing the toast of “Our Guests”, at a dinner to the Secession Delegates of Western Australia, which was given by mining companies here. Mr Macallum Smith, in responding, referred to the bad old days when rich gold specimens were dispatched to London, where they served to float different companies. He contrasted those days with the present time when company flotations were not sanctioned without scientific investigation. •Mr Macallum Smith said he would give the English investors a tip that a great revival on the goldfields is pending. The speaker managed to make several oblique references to the delegates’ mission, saying that they had made up their minds to remain in London until they had achieved their objective.
Mr P. H. Hamilton, in proposing the toast of Western Australia, retorted: “I don’t know when you will get away in view of that resolution!” Sir A. Colebatch also responded.
