FIJIAN NEWS.
jPEESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.j AUCKLAND, November 7.
The s.s. Hero brings news that the Fijians have finished a house in Levuka intended as a meeting place for the chiefs in the principal councils assembled. Adelaide House, Levuka, the property of Mr Wm. Morduo, has been destroyed hy fire. It was insured in the New Zealand office for .£3O. The latest news to hand from Taimari is to the effect that though every possible research and inquiry has been made, the authorities have obtained no clue respecting the unfortunate Coolie found murdered there some weeks back, nor has anything transpired to strengthen the suspicion which existed that the perpetrator was one of his own race. The Fijian mission of H.M.S. Diamond is reported to be to convey his Excellency the Governor round some of the Islands in the Western Pacific, in order to enquire into and report on matters connected with the jurisdiction of the High Commissioner. An advertisement which appeared in the Suva “ Times,” offering for sale the residence of Sir John Gorrio, with entry on December Ist, confirms the telegraphic announcement that his lordship was offered a similar office in the Leeward Islands, which apparently he also concluded to accept.
