TELEGRAMS.

[per PRESS ASSOCXAIION. ] Native Affairs. Auckland, To-day. Wahanui, feeling the heavy responsi bility which he had taken upon himself at the recent meeting when he assumed the whole burden of Kingism, and also the power and right to stop the tide of settle ment if it so pleased him, has called a meeting of the moat prominent chiefs who elected the first king. Potatau wax elected by all the great chiefs of the southern portion of the North Island. Since the war a large number of the tribes who concurred in the election 'have seceded, and sold their lands, such as the Ngaturikiwa, the Taupo, and the Wanganui natives. Wahanui, however, has decided to bring tpgether as many as possible of the chiefs, or their representa tives, who took part in the election, and it is surmised that the means to point out that they have deserted the King, and .to say that if an arrangement is to be made with Europeans it had better be done with the consent and at the instance of all those who cjnferred in the election of Potatau. Suspected Murder. A rumor is current atTe Awamutu that -George Savage, Mr Tole’s servant, sup posed to have been accidently drowned in the Puni on the sth inst., was murdered by a native named Pukekora. It appears that a native named Maniopoto stated in an hotel at Kihikihi, on the 13th inst., to a lad named Benjamin Ward that Pukekora had killed Savage, and threw him into the river. The statement reached the ears of Constable Gillies, the man who arranged Winiata’s at rest, and captured Pakara and Kpiha, and he brought Ward and Maniopoto together, when the latter denied all knowledge of the affair. Pukekora is now in the native country, but the police believe the story deserves credence. Prize Money. The prizes distributed in connection with the Devonport regatta amounted to L 320. Family Jars. - Yesternight information was given to the police that Henry Geddes Hunter, whoso wife is a boardinghouse-keeper, had at tempted suicide by taking phosphorus. The police found the man lying on the verandah, phosphorus shining on his lips and fingers, while there was a severe gash on the top of his head. Emetics were ap plied, and Hunter vomited freely. It sub sequently transpired that Hunter had had an altercation with his wife, who struck him over the head with a chair-leg, and there is reason to believe that he smeared his face with phosphorus to make her be lieve that he had committed suicide. Art Treasures for Auckland. , J. T. Mackelvie, of London, who has already presented seveval thousand pounds worth of works to the Auckland Museum, purchased several an treasures at the Duke of Hamilton’s sale, and has sent them to Auckland in the ships Loch Urr and Loch Fleet. They comprise two pictures by Guido Kenton, pictures by Stanfield, be sides a collection of Roman glass marble, and antique articles found during recent explorations. The ’Frisco Mail. Wellington, To-day. The Wanaka, with the English mail, left New Plymouth at three this morning, and is expected to reach here about ten to-night. It has been arranged that the Hawea will be delayed to convey the Southern portion of the mail, leaving as Boon as the mail is transhipped.
