REMAINS EXPECTED IN N.Z ON SATURDAY.
MESSAGE FROM SIR JOSEPH WARD. PBB PBBSS ASSOCIATION. Wellington, June 11. Tho Acting-Premier is informed that Mr Seddon's body is on the Oswestry Grange, leaving Sydney at nino o'clock to-night, and due at Wellington on Saturday morning. Cabinet will carry on under the present arrangements, the administration of Mr Seddon's various portfolios by those Ministers to" whom th-y had been allotted prior to the Premier's departure.
Mr Hall-Jones cabled to Sir Joseph Ward the news of Mr Seddon's death, and late to-night received the following reply from London: " The awful news of our near old Chief having passed to his long home, comes as a stunning blow to me. His colleagues will feel, with the people of the Colony, that a great and good man, who worked with unflagging zeal for the country he loved being taken from them, removes the moßt striking figure in colonial public life. The grief of his dear wife and family will be tempered with the knowledge that the hearts of the people of New Zealand will go out to them in the unprecedented trial they have to bear.—J. G. Wabd."
