WELLINGTON.
This day
A caucus of native members of both Houses was held to-day, all being present except Karaitiana. They are going to ask tbe Government to bring in a new bill to provide for additional Maori representation, by which the North Island would obtain two more members and the South Island one member, and to do away with the Maori double vote, except where the Maoris are ratepayers, who should be allowed a vote-for Europeans as well as Maoris.
It is understood that at a caucus of members to-day a majority resolved to move in the House that it adjourn from Friday next for ten days, in order to enable members to witness the opening of the Christchureh and Dunedin Railway.
