SYDNEY, thisiday.
The " Daily Telegraph " says thai Mr Seddon's speech at Papawai is his latest bid for Imperialistic and jingoistic renown, and is also his boldest. The Maoris themselves are above tho reproach of ferocity ' implied in Mr Seddon's harangue. As a race, their war methods were on the whole singularly humane, and "palpably exhibited far 'finer ideals than those of some of the more violent jingbs of to-day. The paper dreads that as Mr Seddon is pushing forward as a leader in Imperialistic opinion in this part of the w Torld his latest scheme may be taken as an Australasian one.

WELLINGTON, this day.
Regarding the Premier's proposals to arm and drill 5000 Maori Mounted Rifles, the Native Minister says tho. main idea is to encourage the natives to form volunteer corps.
