POLITICAL SITUATION.
'A southern rumour. 'Per Press Association 1 Wellington, January 30. A prominent Liberal member informed the Mataura Ensign that Sir Joseph Ward has decided to resign on February 14, and will recommend Mr Massey to tho Governor. At a later stage, Mr Thomas Mackenzie will move a no-confidence motion against Mr Massey. Mr Millar resigns his seat and portfolio, and absolutely goes to Australia, and this has had no small influence on Sir Joseph Ward’s decision. Commenting on the news tho Ensign says:—“So many rumours are afoot it is hard to place trust in any, but we have tho word of the informant that the arrangement as stated has been come to by the party. Whether the party will ultimately change its plans is another matter.”
