THE MAORI CONFERENCE.
Per Preas Association. AUCKLAND, This Dav. The committee appointed bv "the great Maori meeting at Waahi failed to unite under one head. Mahuta and the Arawas withdrew from the conference as a protest against the effort to appoint a deputation to be sent to England in the event of the New Zealand Legislature ignoring the Maori petition. Those wlio ac" knowledged the mana of Mahuta were eager that he should head the deputation. The Arawas objected on the ground that he was a party to passing some of the laws objected to in the petition. Otherwise the meeting appears to have worked well for the future relations of the rival tribes.
