LONDON, Sept. 10
The Governor-General sent congratulations to the Governor of New Caledonia on tho completion of the first 50 years of the French settlement there. _ ’ Sir Edmund - Barton, in answer to a challenge from Mr Reid, defined the attitude of- the Government with regard to preferential trade. The Government Iwould maintain the existing tariff against Great Eritain and ask the country and Pai’liament to increase the duties against foreigners. By adopting freetra.de it would be utterly impossible to give any advantage to the country from which they had sprung. Sir E. Barton proposes to ask the House to vote £25,000. towards the memorial to the late Queen Victoria in London. A 60oz nugget has been found at Peter’s Rush, Mount Morgan. The second reading of the Governor’s Salary Amendment Bill, providing for a reduction in payment to future Governors, was carried. Mr Thomas Rotherham, chief mechanical. engineer of railways, formerly of New Zealand, has died suddenly. The body of a murdered baby was found' at Glenelg, with the leg evidently cut off while‘the child was alive, I here is no clue to the perpetrators.
