LIFE IN FIJI.
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) Wellington, last night. Mr Humphrey Berkeley, of Fiji, had an interview with the Premier on matters connected with Fijians, the result of which is that Mr Berkeley has decided to proceed to England with Mr Seddon to place before the Imperial authorities the condition of the Fijians. Mr Berkeley asserts that the Fijians are in a state of absolute vassalage, and at the suggestion of the Premier he has decided to lecture throughout the colony on the condition of slavery and oppression under which the natives of the islands are suffering. The removal of Sir George O'Brien from Fiji has not improved matters, as the present Administrator is following the precedent of his predecessor.
