Yet it 16 a day of mourning. We mourn for the great Queen to whom our fotheta ceded by treaty the (sovereignty over these Isles, who ivai the gnardian of oar rights and liberties, from thai time until she slept with her fathers. Wo, the humblest of her children, alien is blood yeb kits by law and allcgiasee, moarn the loss of the motbar who soughb the good of high and low alike, who lofsd psaoa that by pence umona her peoples they might rice yet higher m greatmesa. Sho wsi al! that our fathers knew m their d.iy. Hee name is the gift they bequeathed ere they paused. Pace, O Mother, to thy rest with the mighty dead who went before tbee. Weloomo, welcome, weloome, m the name of fche King your fathei, we hail a new King m your person, fie haa succeeded to the throne of hie mother to be our Chief, our Lord, our Sovereign. Here, m the presence of your Koyal Highness we reaew our oath of nHagiince. We oonfirm the aeba of our f^hers, who gave alt to Queen Yiatoria and her scceesGOTs Hear, Oye peop'es ! Toflay we make a new treaty, new yeb old, inasmuch as we oonfirm she old to whiah we but add ez< pfsisioot of continued loyalty from our g«aerabi©o, and pray that oar Sovereign and our white brethren may give as of their Btrsagfch to live and thrive with them and among them _ Hear, O Prlnoe !

We 'wish you a safe return to oar King and hie Queen, from whose presence yoa have come zo gladden our eyes m this most distant part of the Empire.

THE DUKE'S REPLY

The Duke replied to the addresH of wel. •otm &9 fo'lowa :— To the Chiefs and tribes of the isles of Aot«»roa and SVaipoanamu—The warm words of welcome which you have ipoken to the Princess and myee!f have gladdened our htatta., From the far ends of the earth, ovar wfda seae, we have beea sent by the Great King, my father, to bear and behold m their own beautiful land, his children the Maoris. The Gireafc Queen,, whom your fathers knew and loved, and for whom you mourn with as with all nations and races trader the Mana and Majesty of the Empire had, before she passed to her real, desired ua to visit her people across the seas ; to tell of her gratitude for the aid of their brave jrooag ttien m the cruel war into tvhieh she who ever loved and worked for peace, had been driven. Proud and glad was the great Qaeen also that the sons of her Ma»ri child fan, eager with iova and loyalty, longed to ttand side by side with their brathren m thft fold of bafcile, Tiie King, my father, though bio o«P wss Ml oi sorrow, m parting with us, bia children, but added to its bitterness, could cot endure that her wishes should pass unfulfilled, and I came m his name and on hts behalf to declare to you the deep thankfulness of his heart, for your loving eympstshy m hie loss, and for the noble and leader words m which you apoks your love and reverence for her memory. The words of th« Maoris ate true words—the words of tho gaaeroas and chivalrous people who are ready to make goed with the hands the promise of the Hpß» T© receive yoar pletfgea of loyalty and to learn from me that you have renewed yonr oath o! allegiance and confirmed - the act of yoar fathers who gave nil to Qtaeen Victoria and her successors, will give Joy to my father's heart and will fill him with strength and courage for the great work that) lies before him. The baanfe of the King Ih warm to hia people m Ntw Zealand- He rejoices to see them dwell together ia psaoe and friendship, and prays that they may continue to be united and to strengthen eaoh other Sa words of peace, and that they also may strive for the common good, &ni m aiding him to keep one and united tho many peoples under bis sway. If our viait helps to that ennl we shall be glad to count as naught the Baorifieea we have made m order to see your Chiefs and yon face to faoa m your beautiful oountry. Of our brief visit to Maorlland we shall carry with ua laßting memories of the loyalty and love and gener ous kindness of the Maori people. May peace, prosperity, and every blessing abide with you and yoara for ever. The Maoris then gave a war chant and dispersed The " gathering of the clans was unique and of unusual significance, for assembled together were men who bub m ( comparatively recent times fought against aacta other or fooghb with and agtiosb the Government forces- Hoary headed, gnarled and picturesque warriora, who had fought against fche British from 1845 to 1871, now assembled to welcome tho heir to the Grown, against which they had levelled all their hatred and the subjects of which they had often ruth lessly "slaughtered. Here, among this frantically joyful assemblage which represented the old state of things and the new In combination, their EoyaSfcies ] wet© enabled|to understand at a glance | fche fierce savagery of the earlier days of settlement and rebellion, and the.«blew Inga whloh the Treaty of Waitanpji and subsequent beneficent rtole had brought i about Fierce looking warriors brandishing j spear and battle-a»» m joyonß greeting of j the Duke and Ducheaa mingled with j native gentlemen clad la well cut, fashionable, np to date garments, sur* mounted by belltoppers; and native women, fit, sleek and happy In their vow peaceful lives. Even some of the most ferodona Han Hang who had participated m the brutal murder of Volckner at I Opotiki »nd m the Poverty Say massacre, were bow eager to proclaim to the heir apparent their affection and devotion to the Grown, ** For ever, for ever, for ever," ; for % ake, ake, aka,* closed every Maori ioy»i exclamation. The Aiawa tribe wiss represented by about; 1500 persons. Among the > oted chiefs present were Major Fox, a leader of the friondliea,lthe old Heahen or Taupo people: Tamlkowha, of Whakatane; Hori Nga?, of Tauranga ; Hone Heke, and Pfliid Taai, from the Bay of Islands ; Tamahaa Mahupuka and Aporo Kamaros from the Wairarapa; Mr T Parata, M.H-R , of Otago ; Aperana Nga and Hokimau, of the Sast Goant: Topia Tuto, a veiy ancient personage fram Wanganni. The arrangements for to-morrow will probably be entirely altered owing to the unfavourable weather prevailing. The telegraph authorities and the local Post' master have done everything to facilitate th ework of the nmn©Eoua press men here, Mr Meddiugs, Inspector o£ Tele graphs, and Mr Logan having come up to superintend the arrangemeuta. There is, howftver, a great crash of work There are upwards of one hundred police and detectives here under Commlsaioner Tollbridge, also a large influx of visitors, all hotels, accommodation md pri/ate houses being crowded Eotobtia June 14 Maroetwaareaohedaf; 11.25, where a stay of a few minutes was made. The population turned out to greet the Boyalties, and tha Maoris formed up m a platm-rrque line and gave a native welcome and three British cheers for the Duke and Duchess, and another aei for the whole party. Io was a 'haka' on a amall scale, and the effect was very pleasure fh« Maorie' f ftoeß beamed with pleasure.
