THE FEDERAL CONVENTION.
(l'rr I're.sx Asx»riatii»i. Adelaide, April 14. After several other members had spoken on Mr Reid's amendment, a division was taken and it was carried by *25 to 2:i, by this the smaller states do not have equal power with the larger ones in the matter of money bills. The opinion is expressed that had Sir John Forrest forced a division last night he would have defeated Mr Reid. The day, however, gave the astute eastern politicians opportunity to deal with the waverers from Tasmania and South Australia. Tke rest of the afternoon was occupied with a discussion as to the form in which laws imposing taxation, Customs, and excise should be submitted. It was decided that the three subjects should be dealt with as separate bills.
