THE NEW HEBRIDES.
QUESTION OF CONTROL
[By Electric Telegraph—Copyright] [United Press Association.) (Received 8.0 a.m ) Brisbane, April 29. Captain Ashton, of the steamer Flinders, after a lengthy trading to the New Hebrides, said that dual control was becoming more and more unsatisfactory. A feeling prevailed among the colonies that the sooner tho Islands are taken over either by Britain or Franco the better it will bo for all concerned. At the present time, French traders have a great advantage over the British, ns the French authorities interpreted the laws more leniently in regard to their nation than tho British, and the French authorities adhered to tho convention laws, but the British made extra laws, under which the British colonist worked. While the French were permitted to recruit women labour, the British traders could recruit only males.
