INTERPROVINCIAL.

Ci.RTEitTofr, Thursday. It is authentically reported that Mr W. C. Buchanan will be a candidate for the Wairarapa seat at the general election. CHRIBTCHURCH-, Thursday. Sixty hares from Mr Studholme's run at Waimate were shipped to Wellington yesterday by the Taiaroa. It is proposed to erect a new theatre at the corner of Tuani and Manchester-streets. This morning Jeffrey Williams, 45 years of age, of intemperate habits waa found dead. It appears to have bten a case of moßt determined suicids. A rope wag tied around hia neck and fastsned to a bench two feet high and deceased had evidently laid down on the floor and pulled at the ropo till ho was strangled to death. Dunedin, Thursday. The Star states that Mr A. G. Barns intends to start the manufacture of printing paper at Timaru. He goes home to procure the necessary machinery. Mr Hazlett of Dunedin purchased Mat* for £700. Advices have been received here that the Rev Father Larkin has been committed tor trial for manslaughter at Honolulu. He had devised a school which fell in course of con•truction killing a Kanaka boy. Auckland, Thursday. The announcement that the Squadron will frittar away in Sydney the time set apart for visiting New Zealand has caused feelings of intense bitterness here, where £500 for the reception of the Princes had been subscribed in Qusen-Btreet alone. It is suspected that th« change in the Squadron's programme has been caused by representations from Wellington, and the press suggests that some Auckland member should more for copies of the Governor's telegrams to Earl Clanwilliam. At a meeting of the Tawhiao Reception Committee to-day it was stated that the canvass for subscriptions to defray the cost of the Maori King's and his followers' visit to Auckland bad been responded to moat liberally, but a telegram hud been received rendering it almost certnin that Tawhieo c»nnot bo induced to come, as he aad his people are returning from Mercer to Ngaruawhia to-day. The uncertainty of the visit of the young Princes has weighed against Tawhiao's visit. The Dargaville people who sent the winning crevr to the Auckland Interprovincial sculling match have resolved to advertise a sweejßtake sculling race of £50 each, to which Hearn, White, and other rowing men shall be invited, the race to be pulled on the Wairoa river at the next Dargaville regatta.
