The Native Minister Meets King Tawhaio.
[Per Press Association.]
Alexandra, This day. About 500 natives assembled at Whatiwhatihoe this morning to meet Mr Bryce, who carae over the river at 11 o'clock. Tawhiao stood up and said there would be no talking this day, Mr Bryce was only coming over to see the people assemble to meet him. This was only a friendly meeting—one in which the people would know Mr Bryce and Mr Bryce them. The latter, said he was content to welcome the friends of Tawhiao if the latter would him as such. With his aid he could do a great deal of good, without it little. He would speak frankly as he always did and if Tawhaio did the same then the clouds tint separated the two races would disap pear. Tuwbiao said he was glad of this frankness and he would be equally so. The people dispersed, this being only a day of greeting.

Later on in the day, Mr Bryce gave Tawhiao a gold railway pass over the New Zealand railways for life, as a pre sent for himself. Tawhiao accepted the Rift.
