[PBB PHBB9 AGBNOr.] Eewi in. AucklandAUCKLAND, June 10. _ At. Paul's welcome to Rewi at Orakei, Rewi, after thanking Paul for his welcome, and referring to ancient times, said :—" The i reason why I havocomois ta see if moans can bo obtained to guide things light. In old days I made common cause with your elder brother, Potatau, the King. Now I have come to see the new relations. You, who have known Europeans so long, are right in faying that the relations of the two races should bo guided properly and peaceably, but you should not put that work on people like myself who have jest emerged j from the bush. Wo were puzzled to discover thoughts of the Europeans, and we fought against you and your Europeans. If you ask me to come and stop here permanently, I tell you that I will never come unless you bring the Parliament to Auckland. If I am to win or lose at Auckland it will be a hard thing for them to persuade me to go to the Wellington Parliament. Now let us all endeavor to find some safe way out of this difficulty for Tawhaio. It is years ago since I came to the conclusion that the King waß but a man, and it remains now for us to find a way to abolish it altogether. We have to accomplish this work. All that remains now is to oider the things so that the European may acquire land for his monoy, and the Maori money for his land; bo that whatever the European has purchased fairly may remain to him, and whatever the Maori may receive fairly may be his own. If the land h sold by the peopled entitled to sell it, their relations and friends can say nothing against it. It is the selUng of land by people who have eo title that has always be2n the cause of troubles. Nevertheless, let us strive so that the work may bo properly done." Mr Sheehan replied, and after welcoming Rewi to to his people, the Ngatiwhatua, asked Rj«i in a jocular style if he would be the Maori Minister, and called on them all to vote for Rewi to occupy the office. This was responded to by a shout of " Ae." The Natives have made another discovery of coal at Wangarei in land bought five years ago by the Government. WELLINGTON, June 10.

New spark catchers have been constructed at the railway workshops under Superintendent W. Elliott, Locomotive Foreman. The want of really effective spark catchers has long been felt, and this last invention was tried on Saturday night, by being fixed to an engine which took a 63-ton train to Papatoitoi and back. Scarcely a spark was emitted from the furnace, and thoso which escaped were extinguished before they reached the grouud, showing a very great improvement on the old system. At an inquest today on the body of Thos. Reece, killed at the fire at the Manukau Hotel, Onehunga, Dr. Philson deposed that on visiting the Hospital, morning of 7th, he was informed that deceased had been brought to the hospital in a dying state from an exteneivo fracture of the skull at 540 a.m., and that he died at 6.20 a.m. A verdict of "Accidental Death" was returned.
