GISBORNE.
This day. A large native meeting held at Tologa Bay has just been concluded over 500 natives assembled, and the ostensible object of the gathering was in commemoration of Te Sara Atekerau, a chief of renown who died several years ago. A great deal of speech making was indulged in, further land selling and leasing along the coast was strongly denounced. Another feature of the meeting was that the relatives of the East Coast natives in Waikato, Taranaki, and other parts of the country should be brought to their people here. Although it was not openly avowed, the desire by many is for Te Kooti and other rebels to be permitted to return.
A number of resolutions were passed, and it was agreed to petition Parliament to give effect to the views of the" natives, especially with regard to land and the establishment of Maori newspapers.' A number of Europeans were present.
