THE FEDERATION ENABLING BILL.
Melbourne, July 21. Service has received a communication from the Queensland Government agreeing to withdraw their protest against the postponement of the Federation Enabling •Bill, and accordingly telegraphed to Murray Smith, the Victorian Agent-General, instructing him to withdraw opposition to clause 31, as originally framed by the convention. Sir Alexander Stuart subsequently telegraphed to Service, stating that the Government of New South Wales is desirous to retain the clause in its present form, and that in view of other amendments they wished to introduce in the measure an agreement proposed by Service if possible. Service thereupon wired to Murray Smith to use his utmost endeavors to let nothing stop the progress of the bill. (Received July 22, at 1 a.m.)
