By Telegraph—Rross Association. Auckland, last night. The Hon. J. Carroll again conferred with Waikato and other tribes this morninl*. Mahuta welcomed the Native Minister. In a brief speech he urged Mr Carroll not to bo impatient to hurry this business through. Mr Carroll advised the Waikatos to fall in with the new order of things. The well-to-do Maoris might be left to work out their own salvation, but it was for those in authority to look after poor landless people. He emphasised the important provision in the new Act for individualising land, giving each person his own pioce of land to make the best use ot. Henare Kaihau said all -was now consummated; nothiog remained but for Mr Carroll and Mahuta to say what was to be dope. +t was for the Maoris to malte a trial of the new Act. The Maoris were all rejoiced at Mr Carroll’s oiler to confer an appropriate position on Mahuta befitting his rank. Although the Maoris were outnumbered by Europeans, they still should have consideration, and should be recognised by tho King of England. He also discussed the boundary question.’ i
