On Saturday Mr Reid wired the Premiers of the other colonies, stating that he could not support the Convention Bill, and suggesting another Conference of Premiers to see if it were possible to arrivo at any alterations in the Bill, which would make it more acceptable to the people of New South Wales, these alterations to be submitted to the respective Parliaments. He added that the people of New South Wales as a whole were sincere well-wishers for the cause of Australian union, and with some alterations the Bill would be accepted by a large majority. Adelaide, June 8.

He promises to submit the amendments Mr Roid desires to his colleagues.
