COMMISSIONER

Extraordinary Evidence

(lIEUTJER'S TKLEGRAM.)

Sydney, April 15. The steamer Lubeck arrived to-day from Tonga. She brings news that the Diamond has arrived there, with Sir Charles Mitchell and Justice Clarke, cf Fiji, on board. The inquiry into the recent outrages was still proceeding when the Lubeck left. Hanslip, a trader in the islands, who was ac cused by the Rev. Shirley Baker of participation in the outrages, was acquitted. The evidence of some of Mr Baker's witnesses was most damag ing to that gentleman, some of them stating that he had threatened their lives if they did not give evidence against the Wesleyans. One of them had been told that he should be shot directly H.M.5. Diamond left the Island. The judge insisted that the witnesses must understand that no harm should come to them by giving evi dence freely. Two officers of the Dia mond are assisting at the trials.

BOARD OF EDUCATION

In' addition to the business reported in out last issue, the following matters were dis posed of at yesterday's meeting of the Board of Education : —

Thk Mauku Squabble.—Another de putation and petition appeared before the lioard with regard to this apparently everlasting question. They feared that the schoolhoiwe would be removed, and Mr Geai'on wanted the Board to give their word of honour that the school would not be removed. —Mr Upton objected to every Friday afternoon being wasted by the .^].^llk^l question. He therefore moved, " 'flint, other business be proceeded with." Tho petition was then received, and con sideration deferred till nest meeting.

ARARIMU Vai-ley.—The boundaries of the Ararimn Valley, Bombay, and Papara t.nn school districts were fixed as requested by the committees.

Thomas, starinff that it was his inteution during tho present nession of the University College to give a course of lectures on elementary science, mainly intended for teachers in primary schools. These lectures would embrace botany and iigric'iltnre. Tie therefore asked whether the Board would be willing to pay one halt of the fees of the students for the Training College. The lectures would be given on Saturday mornings at ]0 o'clock. — Mr Lennorc asked what the profes =ors did for their money.— The letter was referred, without discussion, to the Train ing College Visiting Committee, Vith. power to act. Atck.lan't> City.—lt was resolved to forward the iiecessaay information re garding the site for a school in Napier street to the Auckland City Schools Com mitr-ee. -■ A letter from the contractor for the excavation of a school site was read, asking for some allowance on account of loss.

The Fire.

There is nothing important to add re the fire. Tfc is supposed to have originated from a little child, son of Mrs McGarrigle, setting fuc to hay stored in the shed. A cioorl many things wore destroyed, a quantity of clothes in the wash-tub and two trunks of clothing. An effort will be made to establish a Fire Brigade here.

Tlie Volunteer Corps are making steady progress. Nearly 70 paraded on Thursday niMit under Copt Reid. He hoped the uni forms would be available shortly. _ Tlie Rev. Mr Biggs was elected chaplain and Dr. Murch surgeon to the corps. NATIVE TROUBLE AT OTOBOHANGA, The Difficulty Settled. The native trouble at Otorohanga is hap pily at an end. A meeting was held at Hocib's hon.?e, near Otorohanga, on Thursday, between the contractors, Wahanui, Tainui, John Ormsby, and oMier chiefs. Mr Wilkinson, native a front... Mr Kiely, Inspector of Police, and Mr tiuvsthouse, Resident Engineer, were also present. The proceedings _ were quite friendly, both parties evincing a desire to arrive at an understandinc mutually agreeable, it having been ac cepted that' the native woman had nc right to sell the land, for which sh< had received £15. The contractor! offered to give £50 for it to the Com mittee. Mr Ormsby pointed out that th< Committee had no right to sell. Thej wanted 2s per truck on the railway. Aftei much argument it was agreed to accept h Cd per truck, the Committee to take thi contractors account of what was removee up till that day, and £15 to bo returned The parties then shook hands, Jin< the contractors took dinner as th< guests of the natives. John Ormsb; has conducted the negotiations on behal of the natives with great tact and forbear ance. Much praise is due to Inspecto Kiely for having so managed matters tha the work was not stopped during th negotiations, as this would have mean throwing about 60 men out of employment
