AN INTERCOLONIAL CONFERENCE.
(Received April 3,11 a.m.) Sydxet, April 3. The Intercolonial Conference, to devise the best means of dealing with the rabbit peet was opened yesterday. Mr Carruthers devised a schome by concerted action fov reducing the numbers of the pest in a cheap and wholesale manner, and making the rabbits contribute to the cost of destruction, by the sale of skins and carcases. Since tho introduction Rabbit Act in 1883, the New South Wales Government had spent considerably over a million sterling in destroying rabbits, aud protecting landholders from the ravages of the pest. The present Government had some seven million acres in the Western and Ceutral divisions on their hands and this country had been abandoned chiefly on account of the ravages of the rabbits. The conference resolved that its decisions should be on tho basis of the state, in co-operation with the occupiers of land, undertaking tho destruction of tho pest.
