"A PARLIAMENT OF THE WORLD." INTERNATIONAL AGRICULTURAL INSTITUTE IN SESSION. NOTABLE ADVICE OF A VICTORIAN DELEGATE. PLEA FOR WIDER SCOPE. Received November 30, 9.15 p.m. ROME, November 30, . The General Assembly of the International Institute of Agriculture met at Rome to-day. Signor Tittoni presided at the Conference. In opening it Signor Tittoni described it as "the first session of the Parliament oi the World." The Hon. J. W. Taverner, AgentGeneral for Victoria, expressed disappointment at the proposed organisation of the Institute. He thought it was too continental in character, and not sufficiently imbued with the methods and customs of the English countries interested in the pastoral, agricultural, and dairying industries,, though their trade and commercial standing entitled them to recognition. He urged the Institute to render practical aid to producers, enabling them to protect their interests. His Majesty, King Emmanuel, gave an audience to the delt gates to the Conference.
