Vrmupmr.tlng. Gisbobne, April 7." Two prospectors set out a month ago to search the country between here and Wairoa for minerals. Finding nothing m that direction, they made towards Lake Waikaremoana, and went into the Uriwera country. They were most of the time under the surveillance of the natives, whose Attitude was anything but pleasant, and were to)d if they crossed a certain creek they w»ul4 be shot. They managed to elude the natives and crossed the creek, but found no gold on this side of the lake. However, .they discovered good indications of gold, and intend to return. A.

Hon. Mr Seddon at Christchurch

DEPUTATIONS

Several deputations waited upon the Minister of Defence and Public Works at Ciuistchurch yesterday. The Alpha Martini-Henry liinu Club asked for con cessions m the price of Martini-Henry ammunition and rifles, and also m railway fares of members m uniform. Mr Seddon said that to assist Rifle Clubs to a large extent would tend to injure the volunteer system, and he was against that being done. Ammunition would be supplied at 8s 4d per hundred rounds, and rifles could be obtained upon requisition at cost price. The question of concessions on the railways would be laid before the Railway Commissioners. A deputation from thp unemployed asked for relief works until the land settlement schemes were m force. The Minister expressed himself very strongly against the practice of providing relief works, and said he would not admit the principle thac Government were bound bo find work, except such as would be repro ductive. He was particularly severe upon a member of the deputation who complained of having to walk fifty miles fco the relief works at the Bealey, and said that instead of paying men 4s 6d a day work would be let m small sections fco men who would form their own gangs. Ihe price would be such that they could make ordinary wages, and any profit would go to the men. He said there was work for a hundred men for three months at the Bealey.

The Kakanui Disaster

NAUTICAL ENQUIRY

(per pkess Association.)

Dunedin, April 7, The Kakanui enquiry opened before Mr Carew, R. M., and Captain Orkney, as Nautical Assessors. Mr Haggitt condtiets on behalf of the Customs, Sir Robert Stout represents the vessel's owners, Mr Hanlon the relatives of Cciptain Best, and Mr Fraser the relative* of the shore party. Mr Carew said the scope of the enquiry was to ascertain the circum tances under which the Kakanui pro ceeded to sea, when last heard of, and all matters going to explain her loss. Mr Haggittasked whether it was their Worships' intention to limit the enquiry to that. Fis instructions were to make the enquiry as full and complete as possible. Mr Carew said that to go beyond his instructions would require a Royal Commission, but he had no wish however, to restrict the enquiry. Mr Haggitt said it would be necessary to enquire into the condition of affairs on the island. Mr Keith Ramsay, the owner; Captain Thompson, Lloyd's surveyor: and a number of other witnesses gave evidence of the fitness of the Kakanui for the voyage to the Macquaries. i Mr H. C. Mellish, Mr Hatch's manager at the Macquaries, and Mrs Mellish stated that they were not badly off for provisions. Mr Mellish said the Kakanui only stayed about an hour and a half altogether. He described the storm which occurred. He had advised Captain Best to go away, or he would not get away at all. The wind changed to the westward, and blew stronger than he had known it for sixteen years. The Kakanui would then be about 100 to 150 miles from the island. The wind was so strong that ib blew over a house which had stood many gales. Stones as large marbles were lifted into the air by the force of the wind.

Wellngton, April 8. The Government have received a cir cular «rom the Imperial Government covering a correspondence with the Chinese ambassador m London, who a&ks that Chinese consular agents berecognised m Her Majesty's dominion The Marquis of Salisbury had replied chat the Government were prepared to grant exequaturs, but must reserve the free exercise of their discretion m any ease wnere local considerations affect the. principle. The circular asks if the colo nies will accede to the request, and adds that it is desirable to maintain good rela tions with the Chinese for commercial considerations, by making concessions to the feeling of that country m other matters.
