THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

<DV TELKGU.U'H.-SPKCIAL REPORTER.)

THE NEW MINISTRY.

Mr Stout to bo Premier and Attorney- General.

WELLINGTON, this day. The business of Cabinet, making is tho absorbing topic here. .On Saturday Mr Ormond left for Napier with tho avowed object of keeping clear of participation in tho arrangements. Mr Stout is chief negotiator. All sorts of rumours are Hying about, but I am in a position to st.ito absolutely that up to 10 o'clock this morn ing tho position was this : II has been settled that Mr Stout will be Premier and Attorney-General, and Sir Julius Vogcl Treasurer. Portfolios have also been ollered to Mr Macandrew (probably Public Works) and Mr Montgomery. These gentlemen asked time to consider, and promised to give a definite reply by noon.

North Island Members,

Mr Ballanco has been working harmoni ously with Mr Stout, although it is asserted that ho has not definitely accepted any office. That leaves two olliccs to fill, and a desire is professed to give both to Auck land. One rumour states that Dr. Pollen had been offered tho portfolio of Native Minister, and that it was als-'o proposed ho should conduct tho business of tho Upper Houso; but ho replied that he would not relinquish his position in connection with tho Now Zealand (East Coast) Land Com pany. This report, however, lacks con firmation at present. Colonol Whitmorc is alsonprobablo member of tho Cabinet in the Uppor Houso, cither with or without a port folio. For thcotbor Aucklandrepresontative j\£l* ITumlin'tj nnino is mentioned in audition to thoae wired yon on Saturday, but I have good reason for believing they are anxious to get Mr Hurst, who will almost certainly have first oiler.

Dissensions and Divisions.

Various causes of internal dissension aro working. Whilo many of the party, in cluding Mossrs Macandrow and Mont gomery, think tho leadership of Mr Stout i.-s necessary to prevent Sir J. Vogel from en tering upon any dangerous course, other supporters (thoso from Canterbury par ticularly) are not satisfied with Mr Stout's Promiership, owing to his pronounced views on the land question. It is also known that Sir J. Vogcl cherishes some large schemes for thcrcgencrationof NowZcaland, which Messrs Macandrew and Montgomery view with great distrust and uneasiness. There is a lack of enthusiasm among the pnrty, and a feeling of regret that Sir J, Vogel should have stepped into tho arena ns a disturbing olementat the moment when the party, after ycara of fighting, were on the eve of victory. It is not improbable, therefore, thot somo defections will follow tho announcement of tho now Ministry, whilo it is quite certain that Major Atkin son and Sir George Grey, though leading separato wings, will bo found on tho Oppo sition benches. '

Absence and Illness of Loaders.

Mr Stout loaves this afternoon for Dun cdin on private business, and docs not re turn till Friday. Mr Macandrow is in bad hoalth, his medical adviser fearing an affec tion of tho heart.

Tfao West Coast Phalanx,

A good deal of curious interest ia enter tained re tho policy of the West Coast members. The four occupy a bench by the eide of Mr Soddon, and aro of pronounced Oreyito proclivities, but they have boon hampered by their constituents with a variety of noodful goldfiold works—the Mining Department having been greatly neglocted by Mr Rollcston; and largo promises are being niado thorn by the supporters of Sir Julius Vogel. My bojiof is that they will prove staunch in Opposition. Mr J. 0. Brown, on the other hand, although a strong believer in Sir Goo. Grey, may bo carried away by tho body of Otagoites with Vogel. Mr Joyco is almost certain to remain loyal to his old leader.

New Arrivals.

Among new arrivals yesterday were Messrs Cadman and Hatch. The latter, who defeated Mr Feldwick for Liver cavgill through the latter's adhesion to denominational education, is of un certain political colour, but is claimed as a Greyito. Tho Hon. James Williamson from the North, Mr Coster and others from tho South, arrived yesterday, and nearly all tho members ars now in Wellington. .

SIR GEORGE GREY DECLINES

OFFICE.

Messrs Stout, Barron, and Mont gomery formally waited on Sir George Grey this morning, and asked whether ho would consent to join tho new Ministry. Sir Gco. Grey roplied by refusing distinctly and finally. In doing so, he said ho spoke for himself, and did not profess to bind his supportors by his decision.

Who Is to bo Native Minister ?

I^learn that Sir Julius Vogel and his friends not' only find a difficulty in getting an Anckland representative for the Cabinet, but are also at a loss who to choose for Native Minister. Thorc is some talk of calling to the ..Executive Council Mr F. 1). Fenton, of Auckland, ex- Chief Judge of tho Native Lands Court: though he would doubtless mako an excellent Minister, I cannot say that ho has been definitely asked.

An Enterprising Press-Man,

Mr Twopenny, editor of tho " Otago Daily Time?," which has boon a warm champion of Sir Julius Vogel, obtained tho news of the terms dictated by Mr Mac androw to Sir Julius Vogel last night, and wrote a telegram and leader. He offered it at tho telegraph office at midnight, and tho operator refused. He then went in-search of Dr. Lemon. After knocking up five unoffending slumborors, he found Dr. Lemon, who came down in his nightshirt and courteously issued an order, and tho. message went through to tho "Times," thus forestalling all otlTer morning papers.

A Vogelito View of tho .Situation.

Tho following portions of the leader sent shows how tho proposed combination is viewed by ardent Vogclitcs. Tho article protests against the formation of a, Ministry with Mr Stout as Premier, Sir Julius Vogel as Treasurer, aud Messrs Montgomery, Macandrew, BiiUanco, and Whitmoro and an Auckland Greyitc, which it states is contemplated. He declares that although tho policy may be Sir Julius Vogel'a, tho country will look at tho names of the Premier for the guiding principles of the members who compose it. These, it says, give no assurance of modera tion, and would reasonably ofl'end the susceptibilities of the North Island. It would bo distinctly a Radical Ministry, and a Middlo Island Ministry. Tho " Times " believed Sir Julius Vogel could form a Ministry of new men (leaving out the old party leaders) which would stand ; and de clares that the situation has been sacrificed to the vanity of tho Premier and Messrs Montgomery and Macandrew, whom it styles "The old fossils of provincialism." The article" concludes with a hope that " the Vogolites with a brake on," of whom it considers itself the organ, will mako it im possible for this programme to be carried out.

SIR GEOEGE GREY'S REASONS FOR

DECLINING OFFICE

The discussion lasted over an hour. Al though not directly stated, it was implied that Mr Stout was to bo Premier in the combination with Sir J. Vogel which Sir Georgo Grey was asked to join. Sir Geo. • Groy pointed out that thcro had bcon plenty of men in Parliament capablo of carrying on the government of the country, and objected°to an interposition from outside being forced on them. Ho said he would never make any sacrifice in order to obtain a little earlier what he knew must come to tho people. Ho distinctly declined to en tertain the proposal in any form.

Tho Effeot on Vogolism.

The effect of this offer and its refusal has had a damaging effect on tho Vogel party. It has also had the results of consolidating the Opposition by increasing tho feel ing that Sir Julius Vogcl cannot form a Government which will com mand a majority. Messrs Macandrew and Montgomery have now asked for further time to consider whether they will accept portfolios, and jt is understood they will not do so without again consulting Sir George Grey.

A Bid lor the West Coast Members,

It is rumoured that tho Vdgelites offered Seddon a portfolio as Minister of Mines if he would take over the four. West Coast votes. Mr-Seddon is evidently flattered, but I doubt if his colleagues are equally co.

A Barren Task. It transpires that Mr Barron has been "shepherding" the eighteen Macanxhw- Montgomery YytWt

Mr Stout and His Chief. Mr Stout has consented to take office under Sir Julius Vogol.

j LATER. Full Account of tho Negotiations. I have received a full and reliable account of the negotiations between Sir J. Vogol and his supporters, which preceded tho offer to Sir Geo. Grey to-day. Sir J. Vogel sent for Mr Macandrew on Saturday, and asked him to join. Mr Macandrcw replied that ho and llr Mont gomery acted together, and Mr Montgom ery must al.^o be offered a portfolio. Ho also pointed out that without their 18 votes Sir Julius Voge! had no chanco, but. with them and tho twenty-one pledged to Sir J. Vogel personally, together with other accessions, they might obtain a majority. They further made it a condi tion that'Mr Stout, not Sir J. Vogel, should bo Premier. On hearing this, Sir J. Vogel sent for a'leading Canterbury man, one of his chief supporters, and said he would act entirely a3 his party directed. This gentleman stated that the names submitted, which included Messrs Bullanco and Cad man, meant a complete surrender to the Radical party, and objected altogether to tho position. Sir J. Vogcl replied that, failing Mr Macandrew's support, ho could do nothing, and so tho matter was loft. This morning's interview with Sir G, Grey completes the confusion, and now it is thought exceedingly improbable that Sir Julius Vogel will form a Cabinet.

The Vogcl Ministry a Failure.

A meeting of his supporters will be held to-morrow, and the chances at present favour tho belief that ho will notify tho Governor of his inability, and some ono else will lio summoned. The negotiations, so for, are a completo " boil-over."

THE LATEST.

A GREY-ATKIXSON COALITION

Important Negotiations,

I learn on the best authority that pre liminary overtures have taken placo for a personal mooting between Sir Goo. Groy and .Major Atkinson to consider measures of joint action.

An Otago View of tho Crisis,

(liV TJSLKUR.H'H — OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Dunkdix, this day. Tins "Star" thinks that Sir Julius Vogel, if joined by Messrs Stout, Ormond, Bal lance, and Montgomery or Kichardson, and Macandrew, must command a strong fol lowing. A sop may certainly bo given. to Auckland in tho shape of an appointment to tho Bxecutivo Council without office j but such an arrangement will not satisfy tho political horse-lccches of that ox acting district. Tho idea immediately aftor the election was that a Vogel Ministry should bo formed, in which Sir Geo. Grey should hold tho Premiership without port folio, and simply as an honorary office. It is an open secret that negotiations to that effect were opened with Sir George, but up to the meeting of Parliament he had cer tainly not expressed his definite intention. It Mould appear to bo nothing else than a wild dream to coneoive Sir Goo. Grey holding such a position as was proposed—a mere dummy premier, with Sir Julius directing the policy and administration of Govern ment. This is not among tho possibilities. Oircc Premier, he would either rulo or break up tho Ministry. Outside Sir George him self, tho party has no very capable or even promising man. Among the Auckland team, Mr Moss is perhaps tho best, but his quasi support ot" thu Atkinson Government last session will hardly be condoned. Mr Dargavillo is ablo onough, but has hardly established a Parliamentary character that would justify his being called to tho Cabinet. His disgraceful calumnies on Ma jor Atkinson damaged him irretrievably,

and altogether it would be a very risky venture in Sir Julius to oH'or him a port folio. The least objoctionablo would be Mr Tole, but it is questionable whether ho carries enough mottle..

The " Otago Daily Times " Speaks. Tho "Times," discussing tho situation, says: Thoro is no lack of ability from winch to form a M inistry,but the difficulty will be'to bind tho conflicting olements of the position. Tho names of Stout, Ballanco, Macandrew, Montgomery, Richardson, Lar nach, and Wakofield all suggest themselves, whilst an Auckland mouiber must bo found, and a ropios jntative provided for the Upper House. This moans ten candidates for seven seat?, and Sir Geo. Groy out of the q icstion. In'suoh a situation it is evident that Sir Julius Vogel's only hope is to form his Cabinet on tho widest possible area, making room for representatives of each section of the Houso, and yet leaving an opening for tho less rabid of tho Ministerialists to join his ranks. We tru?t that the Opposition will know how to bury their intestine quarrels. If thoy do not, it is evident there is no alternative but a re turn of Major Atkinson to power with a re constructed Ministry and a continuation of that regime of which Otago has recently so unmistakably expressed Us distrust and dislike. Each district of tho country loolw alike to Sir Julius Vogcl to give fair play in his Cabinet to every section, and to the Opposition to sink its dillbrcnces, and givo Sir Julius a fair chance of succeeding.

TELEGRAMS.

Proposed Chooso Factory.

CAMBRIDGE, this day.—At a meoting of the promoters of the proposed cheese factory, held on Saturday night, the Com mittee reported that they had canvassed tho district, and had disposed of 570 shares and had been promised 263 cows' milk. The number of cows was considered satisfactory, but the number of shares altogether in adequate. Mr J. C. Firth wrote offering his plant, bought for uso on Matamata, to the Company for £585. The meeting ad journed till next Saturday ; the Committee to mako a further canvas in tho meantime and dispose of tho remaining 500 shares, if possible.

STEAM YACHTING ON THE PACIFIC.

THE WAIRARAPA'S SECOND

CRUISE.

[By the Star's StKciAi CokrespoxdeN-t,

Visit to the Stono House—'

" O Le Fale O

Lc Fee," at Samoa.

Those who appreciate ancient ruing should most decidedly visit the Stone f louse of the God (the native name being " 0 Lc Fale 0 Le Fee.") It is about Bto 10 miles distant from Apia, and to undortake the journey comfortably a day and a-half should bo devoted to it, a guide and a couple of natives for carrying provisions, etc., being secured. The following account of it will bo read with interest:—"We procured a guide at Mangiagi, who, with two other natives, showed, us the way and carried our traps. I need not say to tho residents of Samoa that our path-, though sometimes obscure and almost lost tight of for want of use, led along a con stantly ascending ridge between the Vaisi gaga and Vaivase Valleys, and through a lovely tropical forest. This I can say to those who may see your paper, though they livo not in Samoa. On the way wo founc occasional cocoanut, bread-fruit, and orango trees, evidonco of a former inland cultival tion, and an abundance of pineapples strewed our pathway for at least the first half of our journey, while we found young cocoanuts (nill) deliriously sweet atd exceedingly refreshing, thirsting a§ we woro iroin tho hetit of a fiery tropical sun overhead. At one place we noticed that tho ridge dividing the two valleys had been rent asunder in a narrow place by some convulsion of nature in for mer times, and a narrow footpath had been built across the now-filled chasm by tho natives, The remains of an old fortj a ro minder of some former Samoan wor, also lay across the ridge in the shape of a fallon stone wall. We also observed in one spot a magnificent banyan^ tree, whoso branches, limig with every variety of forn in tho forest, covered with bunches of para sites, and festooned with hanging uiosb and creopors, waved high above our heads, reared on a pedastal t of roots a hundred or more feet high. Wo noticed that somo of their roots had run along the surfa^ of the ground from 100 to 300 yards fiom tho tree, and cabled themselves to other, trees for tho support of tho main trunk. About 4 p.m., weary, wet (tho bushes were wet with frequent Showers), and hungry, wo sat down on the height beside the valley into which wo were to deseond. After some refreshments and rest, The Descent began, along a narrow ridge at first, through bushes, to which we could cling-, though the path was steep. But presently it wound around on to tho side of tho moun tain, and being wet, muddy, and terribly steep in placos, it required all one's skill in mountaineering to prevent a headlong tumble with a broken head or nock into the valloy beloWi And when we reached the steepest, almost verti cal descent, the guido climbed down beforo us, and cut a stick which ho thrust into tho mud, and against which tho foot were planted till it could be removed lower) and thus wo worked our way down and came into n grove of the largest bamboo that I had tver seen, though I bolievo they grow largerinSavaiiandin Japan. After this we soon found ourselves besido a branch of the Vaisigaga river leading up the valloy through some of tho most picturesque tropical scenery that ono can well imagine. On oither eido stood tall graceful tree ferns, and every variety of trees hung with all sorts of rope-liko creopers, fostoonpd vitli lovely "hanging mosseS) while ho stream was broken at frequent ntervfils by water-falls from 10 to 50 feet high, which tumbled down into boiling Hoods of silver globules, and (lowed away with a tumultuous roar that resounded throughout tho uninhabited valley with tho wildest echoes. In plncos the rocks along tho watercourso woro moss-covored, but principally wot, smooth, and slippery ; and it was not always oasy to leap from ono slip pery stono to another across tho stream, as wo wore frequently obliged to do from one side to the other ; and once I fell between a ledge and jammed my left arm so that it pained mo for two or throe days afterwards. We avoided the falls along the stream by going around them through tho forest, our guide cutting the way boforo us through the tender undergrowth with an axe which ho carried for that purpose About 5 p.m., as darkness began to closo in upon the dense forest in the deop valley, we camo to a halt on tho banks of tho S-ream, where our natives soon con structed a bough houso for us, and one for themselves. Here wo made a lire, and broiled a brace of wild pigeons obtained from a hunter during the day, had somo hot tea and food which wo had brought along, and then, wrapped up in our blankets, sought repose for tho night, soon lulled -to sleep by tno soothing voices of tho rumbling waters in tho cascades along tho stream Ibesido us. Wo wore slightly an noyed during tho night by a small mosquito or scentfly, which found its way beneath our blankets ; but this was nothing com pared to some of tho mosquitoes seen on the way up, which were more like young eagles than anything elso I could think of. Still, they did not dis turb us on our journey, but seemed to infest phosphorescent spots besido old trees. In tho morning wo awoke with the warbling of the birds, and were soon up and had some hot tea and breakfast, and then started for

The House of the God,

our guide cutting a path before ua through the forest. About three quartors of an hour,|and we came to the head of tho valley, crossed the stream, and descended to the spot where crumbled the ruins of the ancient doity, Ve'e, which moans a cuttle fish (octopus), worshipped by the ancestors of tho present inhabitants of the island. The house of" the god was built of slabs of basaltic stone, taken from tho side of the mountain close behind it. Tho apace enclosed by the house was circular, after the manner of Sanioan houses of the present day, and about 40 feet in diameter. The foundation was laid of stone slabs 4 by 6 inches thick, and from 3 to 4 feet long. On these stood stone pillars about 12 to 14 inches thick, and 6 or 7 feet high. On top of these pillars rested tho stone slab cross beams, and on them again the roof, which is said to bo of the same material, the entire house-being con structed of the stone slabs, which were smooth on tho sides, most of them probably in their natural condition from the shelving character of the rock whence they woro talton, and the rest wore most likely reduced to the proper size with stone hammers. Somo of tho stono pillars are still standing, whilo most of them lay prostrate on the earth overgrown by tropical plants. In the rear of the house stands a stone pillar with some flags at its base, on which the god (probably some tyrannical old chief) is said to have sat and overseered the work. The floor of the building was paved with leaf coral, said to have been taken thither from the sea by the god, but more likely by tho poor toiling natives of that generation. A space around the house, back to the vertical side of the mountain, perhaps half an acre, was over laid with the same material, some pieces of which are said to bo still lying upon a stone slab beside the seat of the god, but tho re mainder of which lie buried beneath the debris of the vanished years, but may be seen by anyone of an excavating turn of- mind who will tako the trouble to dig them up. Some of tho oldest native inhabitants claim to remember when the house stood intact, but this seems doubtful, as the stump of a large tree, pro bably of aged growth, stands in the contre of tho building having grown, fallen, and decayed since the roof disappeared, and another large tree has also had time to grow inside the enclosure near the side.

This building was probably constructed by some old chief who had more authority over his subjects than Samoan chiefs have nowadays, as is also attested by other ancient remains of temples, &c, in the islands. And after His death, because of his austerity, or other qualities, ho camo to be worshipped as a god. Along the stream is a spring where Fee is said to have drank, and beyond his house a short distance is a pool containing fish of different colours, the same as those in the sea. The natives imagined they heard the Fee speak in the voice of the thunderstorm, and when they thus heard him it was an omen of evil, that they would be conquered by their enemies, &c, and this as late as 1860. After our researches were over, and my botanical friend had gathered the different varieties af ferns, we turned our faces once more towards Apia. We found ths steep ascent of the mountain tedious and tire some, but had a lovely day, a pleasant bhady walk through the forest, and were home at 2 p.m. Ancient Stones Naar tha Village of Kologo Tonga. I cannot do better than give you the account of it as hurriedly penned by one of

our number, who evinced much intofest in his visit to this spot: " Near the village Of Kologo, which id situated abotlt _5 miles from Nukualofa, the principal town in the Island of TongatabUj is to be Been this rel- markable ancient monument, which /seems to show that tho religion, whatever it may have beeii)\Vluch caused the eroctkm of tlie, temples at Stonchenge, Kamae, and many other places in Europe, was also prevalent at Home period or other in, at any rate, some of the islands of the Pacific.

The monument consists of three laijrfi blocks of stone composed of a limPaionG cUn .glomerate in V/hieh may be seen much fossil Coral and many fossil shells. At first sight it might appear that the upper stone was not of quite the eaino naturte as the lower ones, but careful examination led all our party to conclude that it wa^ really of the "same naturu, only less weather-worn and more drossed by hand-. Tho shape of tho monu ment at fii-st sight appears to be identical witli tho form so well known at Stonehcnge, namely two upright stones with a third one lying across the top of them; but a moment's observation shows a very marked difl'orencc. Instead of tho ttppor stone being merely sapcriihposcd, in this caao it is CftreUiily inserted into the other two. A groove about two feet wide has been cut in each upright stone, and the upper stono, which has been carefully cut to the right size, has been placed in itso that the ends are about flush with thooutsideof the perpendi cular stones* whilst the topieabout Hush with the top of the stones, though, owing to the eastmost stone being a little lower than the other ones probably troln breakage, it rises A little above it on that sido. The hori zontal stono lies east and west, and itis noticeable that either by accident or design there is a slight though perceptible inclina tion of tho inner faces of the perpendicular stones towards the north, i.e., the north end of tho opening between the stones is slightly narrower than the south. On tho centre of the top of tho horizontal stono o hollow has been scooped out about the si?o of a cocoanut nhell> about an inch and a-half deep, though Whether this hollow Ims Been part of tho original design, or has been made at a subsequent period, it is impossible to say. Owing to pressure of time* and tho absence of any correct tape or ruler, the measurements taken jnust be considered to bo merely approximate. Thoy are, howevor, roughly as follows :— Height of perpendicular stones, 14ft. to 16ft. ( 'depth of horizontal stono, 4ft. to 6ft. ; distance between perpendicular stones, 10ft.; base of perpendicular stones north and south sides, 4ft; ; base of perpendkular stones east and west sides, about l_ft., probably loss; breadth of horizontal stono, _fti ) breadth of perpendicular stones at tho top of east and W«st sides, übont 7ft., probably ihoro. It will thus be seen that tho space con tained between the threo stones is nearly a square, if not absolutely so, as possibly accurate measurement would find it to bo. The stones, cspocially the western one, aro much weather-worn, nhd there aro several plants growing on them, which, though they add much to the picturesque appear anco of the monument, aro, I foar, hurry ing on the work of destruction. Owing to the limited time at our disposal, wo were unable to mako any but tho most cursory examination of tho ground on which these stones stand, especially as, with tho excep tion of tho roadway,it is covered with thick bush. It seemed, however, that there were somo indicatians of a trench on both the north and south sido of the stones, and also that those trenches were part of a largo circle, thostones boing at thonorthern mo.st ond (the end nearest tho sea), but these indications aro so faint that without further examination it would be impossible to pronounco with any certainty upon these. Tho stones are situated about SO yards from the sea shore.

Our stay being so limited makes it impos sible for us to know whether theso etonee could or could not havo been out from tbo rock or reof of the island, but what little tradition there is concerning theso stones anil thcro is next to one—indicates a belief that they were imported. Further examin ation would also bo required to say if they were identical hi composition with the largo blocks of stone (somo of which wore probably quite as largo as the horizontal stono, if not largor) which aro to bo seen at the pyramidal graves about sovon miles oil', but it is suggestive that when tho pe.ssongors on tho first trip of tho Wairampa were allowed to land at tho uninhabited island of I'afa in tho same group (having beon prohibited from landing at Tonga tabu owing to qilarrtntino regulations), somo of thorn saw on tho beach, but below high-wator mark, about half-a --dozen stones, evidently hewn ; their sizo being about 7 to Bft. long, 3ft. broad and lft. deep, these Stones wore lying in an irregular manner, but all together, No marks, howovor, of any plaeo from which they had been carried wero visible. Before concluding this uotico it may be interesting to state that the British Conaul told tho writer that ho had been present at tho opening of some barrows on tho Island (there are ovidently more of them),and also at tho opening of Bomo in the South of England, and that tho similarity of tho form of tho cists and tho shapo of tho stono implements was quito remarkable. It is evident that there is a considerable field for an antiquarian research in tho Tongan group.' The pyramid graves before mentioned, of which tho writer was only able to mako a most cursory,oxamina tian, alono would bo ( worthy of care ful investigation. It must, however, bo remarked that intormonts there havo been quite recent, if not indeed still continuing. Indeed, ono most perfect barrow was evi dently used as in modern cemotorios. It would therefore be plainly impossiblo to carry out rcsorirch in tho manner in which it can be done in Europoan countries.
