NEW HEBRIDES.
UNSATISFACTORY ARRANGEMENT. By telegraph, Press Ass'n, Copyright Sydney, March 5. Tbo Daily Telegraph says that any hopes that may have been raised in Australia of a definite solution of the New Hebrides problem by the Anglo Frenoh conference have been dissipated by the announcement tbat the existing dual con* trol is to be continued. It will profoundly disappoint all those who reoegnise that this plan of government has invariably been a failure wbenevir and wherever applied. Tbat the new agreement is likely to result in an improvement upon the existing conditions may be eonoeded, but that it affords a solution to Australia must be energetically contested. The Herald says the agreement is in the spirit of the larger national convention between the two Powers, but it might have proved satisfaotciy locally if Australian opinion had been given a chance to express itself.
