London, Maj' 14. A crowded House loudly cheered Mr Chamberlain's two hours' speech in introducing the Commonwealth Bill. He said the Bill marked an era in the history of Australia, and a great important step in the organisation of the Empire, simplifying and rendering more cordial and more unrestricted the relations of the colonies and the Motherland. It was a monument of legislative competency. He lauded Sir Henry Parkes, Sir Samuel Griffith and Mr Barton's federation efforts.
