Rangiuia, the Maori chief, who is the lion of London society, has achieved a considerable measure of success in the musical wi'rld of the city (writes a London correspondent). Despite being made so much of by society, Rangiuia often thinks of his coming return to New Zealand. It is his sole desire to be of some assistance to his people, and he hopes that as the result of his success in England he will be able to do something which will help the Maori in an educational or philanthropical direction. .Just what lines his help may take, it is too early yet to say. A writer says of Mr, John Redmond, M.P..—"lt is his impenetrable self-re-straint which has helped Mr. Redmond to attain his present power. He organises, he directs, ho controls. H# is master of Parliamentary strategy. He ■knows how to play the waiting game, but he has not wasted the time lie has spent in waiting. Many years he has utilised in moulding his impulsive and' high-spirited party into a united whole,, looking forward to the opportunity which time was sure to bring. True, he has struck incidental blows, and struck them shrewdly. He has demonstrated that perhaps beyond any other leader in the House he knows, how to make the best of opportunity, when to remain silent, when t« move. All the responsible members of the House knew that when Mr. Relmond was saying least lie was uttering grave warnings from below the gangway.
