Mr Service presented a memorial on the subject of federation, which had been drawn up by European residents in Fiji. Mr Dibbs, Colonial Treasurer for New South Wales, has given notice of a
motion in favor of the adoption of federal quarantine at Albany (West Australia), and at Thursday Island (Queensland), and Auckland (New Zealand.)
A meeting of the sub-Committeo of Premiers was held this afternoon. It is understood that an agreement was arrived at on the subject of annexation, which is considered satisfactory by Mr Service, the mover of the first scries of resolutions.
