MINISTERIAL APPOINTMENTS

MEETING OF REFORM PARTY. Some time within the next few weeks appointments will have to bo made to the Ministry. Sir William Fraser is still Minister of Public Works, but as he is now a member of the "Ppper House it will not be. possible for him to continue to hold the portfolio of Public Works through n session, and the new Minister will have to bo apnointed in good linto to allow of his gelling acquainted with the work Wore Parliament meets._ The position with regard to Mr. TTine is unsettled. Tie is not now a. member of Parliament, but it is cencrallv known that he contemnlales taking some action at law with the o'biect of having the election reversed or set a c !do. Until that matter is decided he will probably continue in office as Minister of Internal

Affair?. ' Ono or two appointments may bo made before fho Stritfi'-O bu c iiw* is determined, but if is likely that n. mcetine of flic T?eform Party "will lip held before nnvthing is done. One idea is that (lie meeting of (Tie party may lie held immcdiatelv before Hie f I earner leaves to convey the Parliamentary party to Ramon. Many members of Parliament will be cninin" to Wellington to ioin the ship, and others may ho able to come for the meeting.
