WELLINGTON NEWS.
[Pee Press Association.] WELLINGTON. March 25. In order to push on the work at tho Parliament Buildings sixty more bricklayers are wanted, but, apparently, cannot be got. A message was sent to Christchurch for men, but not a single one responded, and the requisitions upon the Labour Bureaux of the colony have met with scarcely better success. The Land Board is still receiving applications for relief from sufferers by the bush fires, and time has been granted for them to pay arrears of rent. The Times semi-officially states that Mr Cadman has no present intention of resigning his portfolio. About 90,000 salmon ova, from the rivers Spey and Leith, in Scotland, were shipped on the Rimutaka, which arrived in Wellington on Thursday, but an inspection shows that a good many have died. Five boxes will be sent to Dunedin and another to Oamaru.
Mr J. Myers, a city councillor, on leaving the Council meeting, last night, was knocked down on Wellington Terrace and left there nnconsoious for nearly an hour. When falling he heard his assailant say “It is the wrong man.” His hat was split in two by the force of the blows. (
