SIR JOSEPH WARD.
EN ROUTE FOR ENGLAND.
A Canadian paper, which has jusfl reached Masterton, contains details on an interview with Sir Joseph Ware! at Calgary, Alberta, during his touE| through Canada. The interviewei; captured Sir Joseph in a special ca«| known as "Canada," which had been placed at his disposal. New Zealand's Premier had quite a lot to say abouti New Zealand and tho Imperial Conference. Ho told the newspaper man that New Zealand had a population ofi 1,050,000 white people (he had evin dently over-estimated the result of the census), with a "sprinkling" of aboriginal Maoris. He said that ousi immigration last year totalled 50,000, which is very interesting from a» statistical point of view. He also told his interviewer that the Maoris wer© "improving and becoming good agriculturalists." Tho newspaper man described Sir Joseph Ward as "of middlo height, rotund, and ripe in years and! experience." "His moustache," according to the interviewer, "is inclined to be German in style, and the NewZealand Premier might easily train It after the style of the doughty Emperor Wilhelm. were he so inclined; but' ifs droops about the good humoured lines on the corners of the mouth."
