PRESS OPINIONS.

LONDON, Sept. 15. The Pall Mall Gazette says that all Imperialists are following with intense interest the proceedings of the Sydney Congress. It is perhaps performing its most useful function in determining to have its say upon national defence and inter-Imperial trade. ~•,■■' The Sydney Morning Herald says that judging from yesterday's^ discussion there was no great unanimity as to the promise and fulfilment of preferential trade than there has been since Mr Chamberlain first invented the tariff reform platform. The Telegraph declares that the case for preferential trade was stated with, signal ability and admirable frankness, but the ability was unable to disentangle the proposition from the confusion that entangles it, and the frankness unequal to discovering what the scheme really means between the two contradictory ideals. ,
