THE DUTY ON WOOL IN THE UNITED STATES.
Wellington, April 22.
The Premier cabled to the Premier of New South Wales a few days since that it appeared the question of reduc ing the duty on wool was again before the United States Congress. He suggested that the Australasian colonies should jointly ask the Secretary of State to represent to the United States Government that the colonies, so allied to them by descent from the same race, would regard the removal of the duty from Australasian wool as an act of great friendship and consideration. The Premier of New South Wales accepted the pn on his own behalf, and said he would communicate with the Governments of other colonies. Sir Jnlius Vogel also urged the mail contractors, Spreckles Bros, and Mr Center, to bring all their influence to bear. Mr Stout, in his telegram, expressly advised that in the representation sought to be made to the United States there should be no men tion of retaliation or anything in the nature of a threat.
