there is deficiency in the United

The proposed annexation of New
Guinea, by the sister colony, Queens
land. has caused considerable com
motion in political circles both III
Australia and in England. Of
course, the Australian Colonies feel
agrieved at tue action of the British
Government in refusing q st so
reasonable, yet there is no sign of
open rebellion on account of the re-
fusal, but Queensland is yet hopeful
of having her requests complied
with. 1t is momentous question
to that colony, indeed to every man
on this continent. seeing the close
proximity of New Guinea to our
shores. 1t is not unreasonable that
an uneasy feeling should exist
amongst Australians generally, es-
pecially as it is known that France
has fixed q longing eye OH the island
in question. The uneasiness is in
tensified by the recent conduct o1
France towards the inhabitants ot
Madagascar.
