THE PARIHAKA MEETING.
SPEECHES BY TE WHITX AND TO HE. (PER PRESS AGENCY.) Haweba, Thursday. At the meeting Te Whiti spoke in the morning and afternoon, mostly in a very blasphemous way, styling himself “Jesus , Christ,” and “ the Holy Trinity” as well. His speech was rambling right through. Tohu spoke in the whare in the evening, to the ' effect that the Government had been over- ‘ taken with trouble, and everything was dark before them; that he (Tohu) had disturbed the waters so that they could not see through it, ’ but he was joyful, for the day was approaching. The prisoners could not be released until [ he took his foot from off them. The Governl ment are anxious for some sign of anxiety from him about the prisoners, but he did not ’ feel it. They had no power over them, for j only he (Tohu) could release them. He did not send the prisoners to create talk with the wise men of the Government, bnt to create a " disturbance with the men of quarrels. The * time had not yet come. “ I have been tempted,” he said, “ but the time has not yet arrived for the prisoners to return. Daring the stay of the prisoners in Wellington all things shall be , completed.”
