WELLINGTON NEWS NOTES.
[nr TELEGRAPH' — CORRESPONDENT.] Wellington, Friday. NEW PARLIAMENT BUILDINGS. Tins structure is rapidly approaching completion— is, completion of so much as is intended for the present. It is somewhat out of harmony with the Speaker's wing, which has received a coat of paint. The roof ot the Speaker's wing has been painted a bright red, while that of tho opposite wing is of a gray colour. It looks a handsome building. The library will not be moved into the. building this session. A MAORI CELEBRITY. Hone Paratene Tamnnuiarangi died at Kaiapoi on Sunday last. He was one of the first Maori members of the House of Representatives. His age was 78 years. He was a whaler in the early days. In May, 1868, he was the first representative in the General Assembly foi the Southern Maori electoral district, beating Wi Nahira and Tamati Kircne. On several occasions Paterson, by which name he was known to the Europeans, represented the South Island Maoris in their North Island councils. . He leaves a widow to lament his decease. MR. CADMAN. Much sympathy is expressed here for the Hon. A. J. Cadman, whoso illness is reported to be serious.
