THE ISLAND FEDERATION.
FIJI DESIROUS OF NEW ZEALAND CONTROL. \ Bocoived July 19, 12.40 a.m. : Sydney, Wednesday. The Fiji correspondent of the Telegraph i says that since Mr Seddon's visit there : has been a revival of the desire for an- ' nexation either to New Zealand or New ' South Wales. The utterances of Mr Seddon inolines the opinion towards New Zealand, for reasons clearly set forth in a letter to the local Press by a member of the legal profession. He shows that from geographical, physical, and climatic points of view Fiji should be attached to New Zealand, which would naturally form the head and centre of a federation embracing all the islands between 165° west and 150' east, under British control. Free trade between New Zealand and Fiji would be an immense benefit to both colonies. A large meeting at Levuka affirmed the
desirableness of steps being taken to bring about the federation with New Zealand.
