SIR A. RICHARDS
PROCEEDING TO JAMAICA FROM FIJI. PACIFIC COLONY IN SOUND POSITION. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, July 25. On transfer to Jamaica, where he is to take over the position of governor, Sir Arthur Richards, lately Governor of Fiji and High Commissioner of the Western Pacific, arrived at Auckland by the Niagara from Suva today. He was accompanied by Lady Richards and their two children, and also by Captain P. Jeffs, aide-de-camp. They left for Wellington and will leave for Jamaica on Thursday by the Rangitiki from Wellington. The ship will be specially diverted from her ordinary route to land Sir A. Richards at Kingston. Sir Arthur’s successor in Fiji, Sir Harry Luje, is expected to reach Fiji on September 16. Confidence in Fiji’s economic position was expressed by Sir Arthur, who said he had thoroughly enjoyed his period as Governor of the colony. Its finances, he said, were in a very sound position. Great assistance was coming from the gold-mining industry, and its new constitution giving Europeans and Indians equal representation in the Legislative Council, was working well.
