unanimous agreement finally reached by
the Austraiasian colonial premiers. who
have been in conference here for some days

in New South Wales, but at least one hun

meet in Melbourne. The Parliament is to
consist of a senate and house of representa-

bers of both houses shall decide all differ

In other respects the original bill is I'M
