THE NEW HEBRIDES.
{Receired Last Night, at 10.40 p.m.)
Melbourne, Yesterday
In the House of Representatives to-day, Mr Higgins called attention to the French Commission's report, cabled yesterday, recommending an annual grant for the benefit of the French settlers in the New Hebrides, and he asked Mr Deakin to see that the Australian Government were consulted before the New Hebrides Land Court was
appointed
Hon. A. Deakin (Premier) replied that he had every reason to believe that the course suggested would certainly be followed by the Imperial Government. Negotiations regarding the suggested Land Court had been inordinately prolonged, and so far there was nothing to show that any progress had been made. The proposals of the French Commission contained no novel feature, but it called attention once more to the fact that considerable sums were being expended out of French funds to benefit the settlers in the New Hebrides.
