IMPRESSIONS OF A NEW ZEALAND VISITOR (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. Hon. W. H. Triggs, M.L.C., and Mrs Triggs, have arrived from London by tho Ruahino, after an extended tour, which included South Africa. Mr Triggs took part in the Inter-Parlia-mentary Conference in Berlin.

Tho anti-imperial spirit was shown chiefly in tho Transvaal and the Orange Free State, and it was strongly resented by Natal and Rhodesia, which were thoroughly loyal to the Mother Country.
