HAWERA.
November 20. This morning the Chairman of the Town Board, with a number of settlers, , waited on Mr Bfyce and presented him
with an address congratulating him and the Government upon their native policy and the success in carrying it out and expressing confidence that the Government would settle all the difficulty in the immediate future. Mr Bryce said he would forward a formal reply, but in the meantime thanked them for the address, which was more valuable because the people presenting it knew the native difficulty the Government had to deal with. He declared that law and order should be established on the coast and throughout the colony. Several speeches ■were made, in replying to which Mr Bryce said there waa great misapprehension regarding Major Atkineion re the charge of treachery to bim. He had resigned because he felt a peculiar personal responsibility. Had Major Atkinson been Native Minister no doubt he would have taken the same action as he (Bryce) did, and had he (Bryce) been Colonial Treasurer instead of Native Minister it was very probable he would not have felt the necessity of tho resignation.
