The Intercolonial Conference met again to-day.

A motion in favor of intercolonial free trade in wineswas introduced, but, after discussion, was rejected. The question of the restriction of Chinese- immigration throughout the colonies was again under consideration, and considerable difference of opinion on the subject was shown. The Victorian and Now South Wales representatives favored the adoption of the draft Bill which was before the Conference, bat the Tasmanian, South Australian and New Zealand delegates supported the Bill which is in operation in Queensland. The report of the committee appointed to prepare a memorial to the Imperial Government on the subject of the Western Australia scheme for the introduction of Chinese was brought in and adopted, and it was further decided to submit the same to the Secretary of State for the Colonies.
