Stocks are dying «n almont every holding in the district, and it is tho worst season ever known in the Warrego. A motion has been proposed by the Legislative Assembly, asking the Federal Convention not to conclude till Queensland had an opportunity of being repres«nted by direct vote of the electors. An amendment, that if the Convention granted the request the Government be desired to introduce an Enabling Bill this session, was carried, but the anti-Federal members succeeding in talking the original motion out. The Government, however, will give a day next week to enable a decision to be come to. The trend of tbe debate was in favor of being represented.
