THE HON. E. P. CONOLLY ON FEDERATION.
[BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Blenheim, Thursday. In the course of a speech made at the opening of the Wairau Bridge yesterday, the Hon. E. P. Conolly said that without touching upon matters political, he would express a strong hope that the day was coming when they would sec a greater unity of the colony, and that the days when district was set against district, and province against, province, might be taken to be at an end. He believed that the colony, thoroughly united, would go on and prosper. There were indications also that before very long—possibly not iu his time —there would be unity of all the Australasian colonies, and possibly of the whole South Pacific. Then there would be established on this side of the world an important confederation of colonies, adding a much greater portion to the empire on which the sun never aeta.
