OFFICIAL OPINION.

Orrawa, March 11.

A St. John’s, Nfld. despatch states that a deputation will probably leave for Ottawa re the confederation proposal from the Dominion Government. The revenue of the Newfoundland Government last year was $1,190,900. The estimated revenue for the current year is $1,347,000, and the expenditure for the current year $1,253,000. The public debt is three millions. The despatch states that there is much excite- ment on the federation question, but the Canadian proposals are, on the whole, favorably received.

Toronto, March 11.

The Empire’s London cable says: ‘‘I have reason to believe that opinion in official circles here is distinctly favorable to the entry of Newfoundland into the Dominion, if terms mutually satisfactory to Canada and Newfoundland are agreed upon. All previous discussion, unofiicail and in newspaper circles,also revealed the fact that all competent judges here entirely concur with the view which is an open secret | that prominent members of the Ottawa | cabinet have long held that under certain; defined conditions, the Union will Le) mutually beneficial.
