WELLINGTON NOTES.
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)
WELLINGTON this day, LAND FOB SETTLEMENT.
I am informed by the Land Purchase for Settlement Department that negotiations have been opened with native owners for acquiring twentyseven thousand (not 26,000, as previously wired) acres of Lougbush and Tablelands properties in the YY'airarapa district, in which the chief ! Tamahau Mahupuku holds a large interest. CLVIL SERVANTS AND M.H.R.'s. I learn that a circular to the following- effect is circulating in the Government buildings:—"Any officer of the Government who shall make ajiy application to the Government through a member of Parliament shall be instantly dismissed." The notification is causing much excitement and everyone is endeavouring to hazard a guess regarding the civil servant and the member implicated, but inasmuch as there ha.s l>een a. common practice for Parliamentary representatives to use their good offices on behalf of important or importunate constituents, the problem is very difficult to solve. CABINET MEETING. Ministers have been in Cabinet all forenoon.
