THE RED FUNNEL FLEET
SIR JAMES MILLS INTERVIEWED. By Telegraph.—Prese Association. Wellington, Last Night. Sir James Mills says that he has not so far received a communication from ■ the Auckland Chamber of Commerce with j respect to a fast boat for the Sydney service, and until that has been considered he is unprepared to make any * statement oil the subject. He leaves for Dunedin to-morrow to join the Maitai for San Francisco. Thence he proceeds to Vancouver and Ottawa, and will probably go on to London.
The intercolonial steamer now on the stocks, to be named the "Maungonui" (after a mountain at the entrance of Tauranga harbori, will be launched before he reaches the Old Country, for she is to be finished by September, and is expected to arrive in New Zealand in the first week in November. It lias not yet been decided who is to bring the Maungonui out, and Sir James Mills says the compnuv has not so far finally settled as to whether she will be put on the Sydney service alone or made to take her place in turn with the other intercolonial boats that may run to Melbourne as well as Sydney.
