BIG MAORI WELCOME.
FOR PAKEHA PRINCE. PROPOSED DEMONSTRATION AT ROTORUA. Auckland, Feb. 5. It is the wish of the native people of New Zealand to give a special welcome to the Prince of Wales on behalf of the Maoris similar to the welcome given to the present King when he visited this country many years ago. It has been decided that the welcome of the Maoris shall be given at Rotorua, as was the welcome to King George, and arrangements have been made to give notice to the Maori members of Parliament to communicate with their people and to arrange with them as to what tribes are to be represented and as to the form of the demonstration. It is considered preferable from every point of view that the Maoris should unite in giving a combined welcome to the Prince at some central point such as Rotorua, rather than that there should be small native demonstrations in different parts of the country. The Christchurch City Council, at a special meeting last night, voted £lOOO for the city’s entertainment ol the Prince of Wales.
