(PER PRESS AGENCY.) AUCKLAND.
20th May. The Working Men's Club has prepared an anti-Chinese petition, wbich, after being largely signed, wjll be presented to the House of Representatives by Mr. W. Swanson, M.H.R. The committee of the club will decide on Thursday evening whether the Governor on arriving here shall be addressed on the subject, and whether a meeting shall be called in order to bring the matter more prominently before the public. A special train left Mercer at 11 o'clock, got through the tunnel safely and over the broken bank at Whangamarino, and was shunted off at the Wairanga crossing. Here the engine was detached, and ran back to Mercsr to get instructions. Meanwhile the passengers waited in a state of miserable suspense for three hours, when the traffic manager came to the rescue, much annoyed at the way the passengers had been treated. The action of the railway officials showed a want of proper system.
