MR. DEAKIN IN MELBOURNE.
GAINS BY THE CONFERENCE. GETT_3.G CLOSES. TO GREAT BRITAIN. MELBOURNE, June 25. Mr. Deakin and Sir W. J. Lyne have arrived here, and received an enthusiastic welcome on their return from London. Sir John Forrest, in a speech, said the best thing for Australia was to get closer and closer to Great Britain, as her interests and Australia's were identical. Mr. Deakin said the feeling was grow-, ing, and he hoped it would have its realisation in four years, that the selfgoverning colonies would communicate direct with the Prime Minister of England. That was an important thing to gain. British opinion was largely governed by a few men distinguished in politics, finance, and so forth. Sir W. J. Lyne said Mr. Deakin and himself had been charged with trenching on English politics. It was inevitable I when dei-ling with preferential trade tnat ■they should make some allusion to its effect on England. There had been no undue touching qh the losal aswets of JJfccitish. golMcs, — —
