(fbojuc our special correspondent.) NATIVE MEETING.The reception of De Pollen by the natives was most; cordial. The usual condolence for Sir Donald McLean followed. Nothing of any importance resulted from the meeting, except that Manga (Rewi) and Ngatirakawa do not agree as to hid boundary. Manga is part Ngatirakawi himself, and blames the Tohoro. The Ngatirakawa do not see it. The meeting is over. Manga would very likely have gone early this morning but one of his horses was lost. There is some talk going on still to-day. [Press Agency.] - THE NATIVE MEETING. ~DR POLLBJS'S ADDRESS, Taupo, Saturday. The Native Minister, attended by Majors Mair aad Kobert3, Mr Mackay, and Captain Mair held a meeting yesterday with Manga (Rewi) and the King Natives. Manga opened the proceedings by formally laying down the boundary over which the King's name mast be recognised. The boundary runs from Eorohoro to Atamuri and Whangamata, Lake Taupo. If reoognised, it would Bhut up the Tohoro country between Atiamuri and Cambridge, and defer to an unknown* date the opening of the main line of road to the latter place. Afer Rewi's speech, the Ngatiraukawa chiefs addressed the ""Native Minister vehemently, and nearly entirely repudiated the Kings boundary laid down by Manga, and asserting their determinetion to deal with their ancestral lands of Tohoro m whatever way thay de9m best, and requested that the question of ownership be settled by the Native Linda Court, and the roada opened, declaring that such was the full and natural policy of the large majority of the Ngatiraukawa trib?. The masting was adjourned till next day. Sunday.

The following is a summary of JDr Pollen's reply : — Friend Rewi (Manga) and assembled tribes, — I hare listened with attention to all that has been said. Where there are differences of opinion, the first thing is a conferense. I hopa that good will come out of this talk. By a little oono33sion on each aisle good must come.

The possibility of my being able to help rests very much with yourselves. Therj is no reason way I should take one side or the other. My work is to serve the iufcere3fci of both sides. Wilh reference to what JEtewi his said, and about the King boundary, I hold that only those of the native ra^ee wh,o accede to it, can be expected to be bqund by. it. Eor the sake of peace* and quietness 1 would ba bound to respect, it, but us it has not proved a satisfactory arrangement, I say it were better it had never existed ; and rather than it should be the cause of strife it had been better blotted out ; bub lam uot going to tcuch it. Your ancestral boundary is quite a different question. It depends upon Maori customs, and upon evidence, and will easily be proved m the Native Land's Court. The Hou. the Native Minister here fully explained the machinery of the Land Court, and advised the natives how to act with regard to their lands. With reference to the road he said : 1 repeU, what 1 said at Cambridge, that m a country covered with Crown grants the Government will construct roads wherever thsy think them necessary, hut wil not make roads through native land against the wish of the owners. We do not hesitate tq- miko roads through the lands of Europeans wherever they are required, for it is not right that one mm should stand m the wty Qf many. But as you do not yet fairly understand our ways, we treat you diff:rentiy. The Q>vernoaent will not foi?:e you to part with your land against yoar own wishes, for we consider it very nßJeisarv that you should retain large reserves for your own purposes. Allusion has been made to irregular sales ma^e by Waikato3.l am seeking the way to remedy this evil. When I fi.id it 1 will show it to you. I hald the mjn hare a right to do, as ttyey pleasa with, theln qvpq. I will do all "m my povrer. to help, you m every w-ay, and'shajl consider no labour tog great if fop your good. The promises made, to you by Sir Domld MeLsan I will fulfill ; his word I wi'l make my word. The Hun Native Minister spoke at length with great force, and appeardd to give the greatest satisfaction.

ftfanj»a/tlian s,aid ; Th,i3 fa nsy last word. I am traubjod bjcause I am. blaiued for being a party fco the private sales that have taken placo. X ask tbtvS this question bo left m abeyance until next spring, when I may see more clearly than I now do the way to a peaceful termination. Dr Pollen has left for Napier, and purposes being at Wellington on Tuesday. Pobt Chalmers, last night The bajqua Gj-louce^r urr\vq4 with I^o Ch.in.eae and 13 cases of smallpox.
