THE IMPERIAL CONFERENCE.
(united press association.) Dunedin, January 17. His Excellency has received a despatch from the Secretary of State for the Colonies on the Colonial Conference, from which the following is an extract: —The Conference will necessarily be purely consultative, and it will therelore not be material that the Colonies shall have equal and proportional representation upon it. The desire of Her Majesty’s Government would rather be that its constitution should be sufficiently comprehensive to inclnde in addition to Agents-General other specially deputed representative of each Government, and any leading public man who may be at liberty to come to England next year, and may be specially qualified to take a useful part in the deliberations. It will be convenient that I should preside at the Conference, aud I need not say that I anticipate much advantage to myself and to Her Majesty’s Government from the opportunities of acquiring information which will thus be afforded me. I will only add, in conclusion, that I am confident that your Government r will, as I do, feel deep interest in this first attempt to bring all parts of Her Majesty’s Empire into joint deliberation.”
