FEDERATION.
♦ United Press Association— By Electric Telegraph— Copyrigh t. Keeeived March 22nd, 12.15 a.m. Sydney, March 21. Mr Lyne has received the following cable from Mr Barton :— " The St. James' Gazette publishes an interview with Mr Reeves, stating that New Zealand opposes the Commonwealth Bill, especially clause 6 and the Privy Council clauses, urging delay and the taking of a further referendum m Australia. , The tone is discourteous, and we doubt Mr Seddon's approval. We suggest that the colonies join m a ' representation to New Zealand as to this i most unfriendly action, and advise us . as to the resalt. From the report I infer that Mr Parker, the Western Aus- [ tralian delegate, and Mr Beeves are j collaborating. Communicate this to the other Premiers." Mr Lyne wired the message to the Victorian Premier, adding •' Do you agree to the proposal for making a joint representation to New Zealand?" Mr McLean Immediately replied agreeing. Received March 22nd, 12.55 a.m London, March 21. Mr Parker, the Western Australian Federal delegate, has arrived m London.
