"NO STATEMENT."
THE PREMIER'S SILENCE, RECONSTRUCTION RUMOURSWHEN WILL THE HOUSE MEET? It was confidently ejpocted (lint when Sir Joseph Ward returned from Christchurch yesterday the period of silence would terminate, and that ho would make some definite announcement in regard to tho poiilioal crisis. Tho exuectation was del en ted. Lato last evening tho Prime Minister's 'private secretary stated, in reply to an inquiry, that Sir Juseph Ward had 110 statement to make.
While tho Leader of the "Liberal" party continues thus remarkably silent, numerous stories aro going the rounds of approaches having been made to all sorts of possible and impossible candidates for Ministerial rank. Surface placidity, and troubled activities underneath tho surface, seems to epitomise tho stnto of politics at tho moment so far as the party which is keeping a silent though weakening grip on office is concerned.
Mf. AV. D. S. Macdonakl, member for the Bay of Plenty, who has been named as a possiblo member of a reconstructed AVard Ministry, was in AVellington yesterday.
