Parliament.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The Land debate was resumed on Tuesday at 2.80 p.m., and continued, with an adjournment for tea, until 12 45 a.m. The most interesting speech of the day was given by Mr Kaihau, who delivered one of those artistic and flowery orations for which the Maori race is noted. Ho confined himself mostly to the land affairs of the natives, and denounced the way in which the Government dealt with Maori lands. Mr A. L. D. Fraser, who referred to Mr Kaihau as a “political hum * hug,” somewhat marred the effect of the latter’s address by quoting from certain speeches delivered by the native member which expressed entirely contradictory views. Mr Fraser said he would have no time for Mr Kaihau in the future. Mr Field also took part in the debate.
