AUCKLAND.
This day.
The Tailors' Society met last evening and fixed the rate of wages at one shilling an hour, fixed working hours from eight to six with one hour for dinner. A rule was passed.that no journeymen be allowed to take work home to be done in leisure hours.
The latest news from the Waikato in reference to the native obstruction at Horahora states that one old Maori fanatic with half-a-dozen old women to help him, threatened direful things, but the demonstrations mean nothing. It would have been more serious had not the Cambridge troop been at hand. Latest news from New Caledonia stated that Fradio, the rebel chief, has been captured. He was concerned .in the massacre of Tricott's family. *
A woman at Lafoa was found strangled in her bed, but two days afterwards a letter was found on her grave from her husband, confessing remorse for the crime and threatening suicide.
