THE FEDERAL DELEGATES. MR REEVES’S ACTION. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON. March 23. Mr Chamberlain entertained the Federal delegatee. The guests included Mr Balfour, the Duke of Devonshire, Sir Richard Webster, Sir Robert'Herbert, Lord Lansdowne, Lord Selborne and Lord Hopetoun. BRISBANE, March 23. The Premier, whilst protesting against the action of Mr Reeves, said that he would be glad to see New Zealand and West Australia join the federation. ADELAIDE, March 23. The Premier, discussing Mr Reeves’s action, said that he imagined it arose out of Mr Seddon’s desire to delay federation until New Zealand had an opportunity of expressing her possible desire to join the commonwealth. She had had plenty of opportunity of joining in the past, but now, like West Australia*, she did not like the prospect of being left out.
