Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star
MELBOURNE, Australia.
Almost as soon as this letter Is published
the parliament of the new commonwealth
of Australia will have held it's first meeting
in Melbourne. The members of the senate
and house have already been elected and
many of them are now travelling toward
this city on their free railroad passes.
Within few weeks they will be discussing
the tariff. the site Of the new federal capi-
tai, the reorganization of the railroad sys-
tenn and a dozen other measures which are
proposed to make Australia the greatest
country south of the equator.
Heretofore this continent has been di-
vided up into a half dozen colonies some
as widely separated as any parts of the
United States, and all warning with each
other as to commerce and trade. From
now on they are to work together. They
are to have interstate commerce and are
to join hands against the earth as far as
their own interests are concerned.
The new parliament is to start the ball
rolling. II consists of senate and house,
organized much like our American Con-
gresS, The senators are elected for six
years and the representatives for three
but the house may be dissolved by the gov
ernOr general under certain conditions The
senators and representatives get the same
provided that no representative or senator
can hold office Il he has been bankrupt and
failed To pay his debts. and if he takes ben
eft, whether by assignment or of herWise
of any bankrupt law during his term of
office his seat VIII at once become vacant
He cannot have any interest in any COM
pany dealing with the government, nor
can he take pay for other services rendered
to the government.
WOrkingmnn's Parliament.
The new Australia will be a working
mans country. According to the consti-
tuition parliament has the right to Iegis-
late as to invalid and old age pensions
1t can control the railroads, and arrange
for their purchase. 1t can pass concil-
iation and arbitration laws as to labor
disputes. and deal with banking, insurance
and such things.
The new government IS to have control
OF the telegraphs, telephones and postal
service. These have already become in

do SO because the people like your shoes
better. They are high-priced, but they fit
and they look neat on the feet
Americans Don't Know How to Sell.
Il think you Americans have not yet
learned how to sell goods abroad" this
man went on. You don't appreciate the
foreign trade. You look upon our markets
only as something to be used when times
are hard at home and to be thrown aside
when the home markets are good. YOU
make a mistake. The foreign demand
ought to be nursed, for it's profits may tide
you over when the home markets fail. You
ought to watch how the English and Ger
mans do business and act accordingly. You
are the best manufacturers and the poorest
sellers of the world

ternational and the railroads and other
things may follow. Bills for all sorts of
innovations are ready for introduction.
Every state Of the new federation has been
making its own experiments along labor
and social lines. and their combined ex-
periences may grind out a new social or
ganization Of the BelIamy kind away down
here below the equator.
The Giant of the South Seas.
First let me give you some idea of this lit
tie giant Of the South seas. The Australians
call their country the biggest thing be-
low the equator. l have travelled thou

of the present century the time of the ac-
ton. The characters are refined Scots of
wealth and position. their conversation is
as modern as one could wish, and the ac-
ton is brisk enough to present an enter
tanning story. The underlying thought of
the novel is the transmigration of souls,
developed In the course of a number of
long conversations between the characters,
one of whom, THE Macrea,' is endowe ed
with an apparently occult mind. The
women characters are well drawn, and the
love story is developed with fidelity to ira
dition.

FIRST YEARS IN HAND1CRAFT. By Walter ].
Cal. New York: The Baker & Taylor Company
Washington: VIM. Ballantyne Sons.
There is material in this little book to
keep a family Of children busy making
useful and decorative articles for domestic
use out of paper, cardboard. &c. The value
Of the suggestions, however lies more than
in the mere production Of goods. resting
chiefly in the development Of young hands
and minds in coordination. The specific
exercises are specially designed to cover
the period Of from seven to eleven or
twelve years Of age, which the author re-
CARDS as now the weakest in all the courses
of this character.
THE CREED OF PREsB YTERIANs. By Rev. Eg-
bert Watson Smith. DID. New York: The
Bake: & Taylor Company. Washington; VIM.
Ballantyne & Sons.
In these days Of attempts to revise the
historic, fundamental creed of the Presby-
terian Church, this essay of description is
an interesting contribution. Many laymen
Of other churches, broadly interested in the
discussion, will be enlightened hereby,
while the work itself is addressed con-
fessedly, by the author to the members of
the church who are inclined toward re-
vision, evidently to prevent them from
yielding to the pressure to modernize the
creed.

United States Consul General r. F.
Patterson, at Calcutta, has been re-
ceived. 1t is to the effect that the
leading chambers of commerce of In
dia are taking up the matter of the
Worlds fair and developing plans for
worthy participation at st. Louis.
1t is also expected that the viceroy,
Lord CurzOn, Will give his support to

The consul general at Singapore,

writes that he has made recOmmen-
datiOns to the sultan of the Malay
states asking them to participate in
the Worlds fair, and that he is quite
hopeful of good results.
The American consul at Auckland,
Frank Dillingham;, writes that he has
laid the matter before the New Yea

Oring to forward the interests there
to the end that New Zealand will
not only erect Il building, but will
send an exhibit which will surprise
the people of the United States in re

possibilities.
