NEW ZEALAND NEWS. U3y Teleeraph.-Prosa Association J SIR JAMES CARROLL. \■■ . ■ A LONG-STANDING GRIEVANCE. Timaru, Juno 26. Sir J. Carroll, Native Minister, met a gathering of South Island Maoris at Arowhenua to-day. He was congratulated by whites and Natives on receiving his title. At the Maori village a.Native welcome was given. The visit had been desired, as members of the Ngati Mamoe and Ngai Tahu tribes had a long-stand-ins grievance to put befovo him.

The Minister said that was long before the time of the present Government, and it would be very difficult to rectify auy such error ' now owing to settlement, but he promised that tho Government would consider the matter ind do something if possible.
