NEW ZEALAND AND FIJI.
AN EXPLANATION WANTED. [BY TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.]
Wellington, Wednesday. It is reported on good authority, that Sir George O'Brien, Governor of Fiji, will be called upon, in consequence of representations made to the Colonial Office by Mr. Seddon, to explain an alleged slander recently uttered by him at a native gathering on Rewa River. On that occasion Sir George O'Brien is alleged to have declared that the advocates of federation with New Zealand were actuated by a desire to rob the Fijinns of their lands, which, he asserted, had been done in the case of the Maoris.
