LATEST WELLINGTON NEWS.
(BY TEIEGKAI'II. —riIESS ASSOCIATION.) Wkllixgton", Last Night. Tiik Union S.S. Company has decided to place tho Mahimi|'ua in thu Manukau trade, in place of the Wanaka. The Riilway Commissioners have asked for £40,000 fin- additional rolling stock, appliances, good sheds, and other accuininodation on opened lines; but as the Government is only able to give half this sum, there is likely to be imich disappointment throughout the colony. The sum asked for was about £20 per mile, being barely suth'cient for the most press-ing necessity. From information received by tho postal authorities, it is believed that theR.M.S. Ivaikoura, from London, arrived at Hobait late last night. In that ease she should reach Wellington on Tuesday. The Trades and Labour Council have acquiesced in the proposal of tlie Christchurch body, that a conference of delegates from all the Trades Councils of the colony be held here during the session of Parliament, /or the purpose of discussing the Labour Bills. The Native Commissioners have finished taking evidence, and will report next week. The Public Trust Commissioners will also finish next week. The Cabinet will consider the dispute with the Midland Railway Company next week and come to a definite determination.
