THE NATIVE SCARE AT UNKNOWN

<W Iia^BJU'U-OWN_COKIU:KrONI.KNT.)

Wellington, this day.

RjoABPWa the sensational statements now ■ appearing in the tolograph columns of tho J^ffith respect to the demeanour of the Stives on tho Wost Coast of tho North and the uneasiness felt by tho neigh borhood of Parihaka, I havo tho bost tJioritv for saying that tho whole affair is rtTwork of agitators and European busi ffi people, who seem to bo highly in '■SnLd at the removal of tho Constabulary Xl Parihaka. Tho Native Minister allowed mo to pe.use tho Se of the correspondence. 1 gather tliat reports now circulating aro very much derated; indeed, I may say that tho most of them are absolutely devoid of truth. Some time ago, whon some similar canencfo found currency, I was üblo to inform voa from information supplied to tho Native Office byltho Nativo Minister, that &c agitation was boing then worked !n among tho settlers of tho Wai- Sate Plains by two butchers, who formerly held the contract to supply the Armed Constabulary at Parihaka with meat. These persons naturally felt thoy bid a grievance at the loss of trade thus occasioned, ond honco thoir dosire to foment a feeling of unoasiness among, the settlers, in order that if possible »owr might bo brought to bear upon: <)«Yeramont, and tho of Parihaka camp bo insisted upon. On the present occasion tho chief agitator appears U, be a Hawera storekeeper, who has written eoveral ludicrously lugubrious so aJtod "warnings" to tho Premier on the subject. This gontloman has boon very prolific of opinions, doductions, and pre dictions, but whon asked by tho Nativo Minister (to whom his letters were referred iy tho Premier) for his facts, ho had nono to offer, but substituted instead a long fbodoraontado traversing tho history of tbo native difficulty of the West Coast daring the past live or six years. It is right that, in the face of the alarming attracts telegraphed from tho Taranaki papers, tho facts should soo tho light. Tho Jfative Minister has inquired fully into 4e subject, and all tho reports from Government oflicors in the neighbour hood r.seert that there is no alarm >ft|t as to the domeoinour of the natives, and unequivocally give the lie <tothe absurd statement finding publicity in the daily press. To Whiti and Tohu loJh appear to bo chafing under the unwar ranted suspicion as to their motives and intentions, and resent what they cannot tart feel is uncalled-for surveillance, though (J .course the aotion of the authorities in eadeavouring to ascertain the truth of tho ramoura la not intended as surveillance. Jhe Maori mind is always suspicious if there is tho least indication of uant of faith in their integrity. If any trouble arises, it will be wholly due to the criminal acts of interested agitators, who view with alarm the with drawal of the expenditure of public money in the locality, owing to the removal of tho constabulary and the breaking up of tho camp at Parihaka.

CITY COUNCIL.

Special Mooting.

A special meeting of tho City Council was held at noon to-day, for the purpose of pawing the annual accounts. There were piwant—His Worship tho Mayor (in the «bair), Councillors Goldie, Waymouth, Holland, Montague, Mackechnio, Aickin, Dorore, Burns, Garratt, La Roche, Cooler, Upton, Kidd. The Mayor said the meeting fl* called in accordance with the 133 rd action of tho Act. Ho wouhl move that w accounts be adopted, and in doing so jebnjpatulated the Councillors on the fact tte income of the city was £63,359. Coun cillor Aickin seconded the motion. Coun cilor Goldie said he did not wish to be Optiouß, but he doubted tho advisability of llting the accounts printed and dealt nth by tho press before thoy were brought Wore tho Council before tho Council had a opportunity of considering and, if Ktssary, altering them. Respecting the Silting expenditure of £1,893 for the year, he Boid that the receipts for the uot period only amounted to £251 lis. &» was consequently a large discripancy d{),642, seeing that ratepayers specially taifitted were required to pay one-half of .Ity'coat of such works. He knew that litre was a set-off in tho matter of tde pwing Bjonea which were replaced by the asphalt. Referring to tho asphalting in (rent of the Jewish cemetery and Alexan dra-itreet Church, he believed that no ap plication had been made for payment, while tfo trustees of tho latter body, of whom he waoaewere willing to pay if the Council wi* legal claim against them, yet they would not do so unless payment was made |H the trustees of tho Jewish cemetery. The Mayor replied that the City Enginoeor til preparing returns of this account. Cr. QoHie pointed out that arrears of rates TOtiput down as an assot, and asked over .'that period they oxtonded. Tho Town .Cterk -replied that thoy oxtended over ssveral years. Cr. Goldie said they could tot bo very old, seeing that only three or four years ago the Council bad struck off •Urge amount of arroars. He believed tho debtors in these cases wore city merchants Will) would have boon willing to pay II application bad been made to them in too first instance, but the amounts 'badbeen allowed to stand ovor until they tad exceeded the two years' statute of limi ' trtlon for rates. A list of tho amounts was "JMi-In connection with tho consolidated loan account, a charge of interest appeared 'Mt'£22,038, while the ratos to cover this amount only realised £13,000 odd. A sum _m £7,000, waterworks oarningSj ond the in tawt received from tho allocation of loans, W been used to moke up tho deficit. He Mkedif any authority had been given to «W>te those fundß to that purpose. It Mboald have been shown that the earnings Iraa the supply of water amounted to £7,000 odd, and that would have "bed the question of the justice *-reducing tho price of water. . It was; as the Mayor said, a fine thing to ■ Wye an income of £63,000 a-year ; that IpSiii they had only to spend £40,000; wit was scarcely so if their expenditure ma £90,000. Mr Goldie proceeded to refer ;,wthß debit of £1,928 at the parks account, "W considered it was time for them to set "Moot putting their house in order. — Cr. pointed out that the intention of .«e Act was clearly that the accounts ;i KKralu he published before they were [""■finally decided upon.

SHIPPING DISASTERS.

Operations on tho Maogregor,

Mb Coutis, suporintonding engineer for tho Northorn Shipping Company, who has boon at Kawau in connection with , operations on tho sunkon stoamer Mao , grogor, returned hero by.the s.s. Waitaki , this morning. We learn that tho Macgrogor remains in a position very similar to that in which sho first sottlod down on the rocks, ' and that present prospects of her being , lloated aro very encouraging. The stormy weather which prevented work being com monced on Friday and Saturday moderated on Sunday morning, when the Glenolg, with carpontors and divors, went alongside of the wrock. Two divers immediately proceeded to investigate tho condition of tho sunken vessel. Thoir inspection showed that sho rested on a number ot rocks, upon which sho was firmly set by tho weight of water sho hold, and that thoro was no fear of nor slipping from thorn and going down in deep water. Thoro wero no holes in her bottom, tho damage being confined to that dono by tho Wellington during tho collision. This, so far us tho hull is concornod, amounts to a gap in ono side; 3ft. wide at the top, taporing to tho width of the Wel lington's stem, and reaching as far as the hist shoot of copper. The divers com menced to patch up thia gap with timber yesterday, and when Mr Coutts . left they had closed up about 4ft. of it. They intended te continue . thia work to-day, and expected to have the gap completely filled in another two days. In the meontimo, pumps will be rigged up, and directly the divers havo finished tho work, the vessel will be pumped dry, when it is expected sho will float herself. The Olenelg will romain by the Macgregor until this work is completed, or until it fails. A cutter was sent down to her today, with a cargo of coal, as sho was likely to require more than she previously had on board An inquiry into the Wcllington-Mac gregor collision will be hold boforo the Nautical Court on Friday next. Repairs to tho Gairloch. The steamer Gairloch, which was injured in collision with the s.s. Herald, is te be thoroughly repaired in as short a time as possiblo. On hor starboard bow five strokes aro to be removed, straightened, and replaced, and four strakes on tho port bow aro to be similarly treated, while one strake will have to be taken out to have the true course of the bow repaired. The fore castle deck is to be taken up, and all fittings such as stanchions, rails, crane, etc., re paired. All bent frames are to be cut and »-happed, all fractured beams ropairod, and tho forecastle deck laid with heart of kauri. The iron bulkhead in the forecastle is to be straightened, and the decks are to be caulked all over from the stem to tho foro part of the saloon. The steamer is also to be docked to have her bottom examined, renders for this work were sent in this afternoon. The tender of Messrs Fraser and Tinno (work to bo completed within 18 days for £400) was accepted. An inquiry re tho Gairloch and Herald collision will be held before the Nautical Court on Wednes day, the 20th instant. The Nightingale. In answer to inquiries made by cable, Mr D, Qouk eont instructions to Sydney by wire this morning, directing his agents to sell his share in the Nightin gale for whatever it would realise. Tho Sydney police aro actively engagod in investigating matters connected with tho disappearance of tho captain and part of tho crew, but up till this morning no arrostn had been made. One of tho seamen who took the water- ■ logged vessel info port is Avorillo anotable character, who has been frequently in gaol for larceny, assault, otc. One of his most recent freaks was an attempt to stab the master of a vessel, when ho was set tled, pro tern., with a belaying pin. It is remarkable, ' also, that this same fellow took tho schooner Louie into Noumea, after Captain Pelinger had been lost overboard. While here he was under tho notice of the police constantly, and he is likely still deserving of some ' attention.

THE THAMES BOATING DISASTER.

McCrao, claim, £25, da mages for fatal Injuries sustained by plaintiffs mare through being gored by defendant's feroolous bull.—Mr Cotter for the plaintiff; Mr Thco. Cooper for tho dofoudant.-The particu lars of demand act out that the plaintiff . had been tho owner of a oheetnut mare, which waß killed on the 2nd February last by a viciouß and (dangerous Alderney hull belonging to the defendant, auoh bull being allowed by dofendant to be at large upon tho Mangare run, in full knawledge of Its aovago nature — Chos. Baker, the plaintiff, deposed that ho was a farmer, and had roalded at Man gare for tho laat ten years. He know defendant, and recollected tho 2nd Feb. last. Ho was engaged in fotching his catUe off the mountain at Mangare. having taken out a depasturing license from the Road Board. His oattlo had been running there for twelve months, and no ono had objeotod. In driving the catUe off tho run ho had to pass defendants bull at a distance of come 15 yards. In passing It he tried to keep ono of the .heifers away from it. The bull made a Budden bound forward, got one horn under wltneßa'a leg, and another into the mare's side. He was pitohed heavily on to the ground. When he got up the bull hadjgone back to the cows. Witness's father and David Hustlo wero with him. When he got away he found that the maro had been gored, and she died two or three minutes after she roooived the thrust. He asked Hastlo to go for Sergejnt Breon. Tho officer wanted totake the bull to the pound, but hardly anyone there darod to tackle him. The mare was in very good condition boforo tho fatal thrust. Defendant looked at the maro before Bhe was burled. He passed witness at full gallop. Witness saw him again the next day, and asked him if he would Bottle for the mare, as he did not want any bother. Defendant asked what witness wanted, and when he said £16. witnefla merely laughed and said ho would give no suoh thing. He would only give £5 or £8. Two.or threo days subsequently defendant told witnoaa that ho had bad a letter from Mr Hosketh, and that ho would settle the matter by arbitration, if witness liked. Witness re ferred him to Mr Hcßketh. Tho mare was worth £25. He remembored the caße of Mourae v Wostney. which was heard last yoar, as ho was a witroßß in it.-To Mr_ Cooper: Hei had had the mare six years, and she to four years old whon he got hor.

ABBOTT'S OPERA HOUSE

"Tho Woman In White."

This highly sensational drama was producocij at the Opera House last evening by Mr Wybert Reeve and Company. The plot of Wilkie Collins's celebrated novel is wel known to some of our readers, and conse quently a description of the plotis unneces sary. Tho central figure in the drama is, of course, Count Fosco, and in tho delinea tion of this many-Bided character Mr Reeve is simply faultloßs. Tho rOle of tho intriguing foreigner is one that calls forth tho highest powers of an actor, and the inimitable finish that ho gave to the subtle lights and shades of the character stamp him as a master. Mies Alice Deorwyn doubled the parts of Anno Catherick and Laura ITairlie, and wus buc ceasful in both. Mrs Chippendale playod Madame Fosco most acceptably. As Walter Hartwright, the artist, Mr J. B. Steele was scarcely as successful as might havo been expected. Mr E, Gladstono made a very presentable Pesca, while as Sir Percival Clyde Mr C. Holloway was quite at homo. "The Woman in White" will bo repeated this evening.

Application has been made to the Harbour Board that the steamer Awhina bo licensed as a steam tugboat. The steamor is a very powerful'one, working up to 3f>o horse power.
