THE PRIME MINISTER.

RETURN TO WELLINGTON. MUCH I APPROVED IN HEALTH. (Special to Daily Times.) WELLINGTON, February 28. The Prime Alinister (Sir Joseph Ward), who has returned to Wellington from Rotorua, intends to revisit the thermal centre later in view of the benelit lie received from the treatment there. “I am feeling very well —indeed, 1 have put on a stone in weight”—the Prime Alinister said in the course of an interview in his, suite at Parliament House. “ The treatment I received at Rotorua was excellent, and I derived considerable benefit from it. I came back to Wellington because I was in good trim, and I wanted to get a few things cleared up. I hope to return to Rotorua within the course of 10 days or so." Sir Joseph said he had not been fatigued> by the train journey from Rotorua. “ I had a good dinner at 6.30 last night,”'he added, “ and chatted until S o’clock, when I went to bed and slept without interruption until 6,30 this morning."

Although he will not actually resume his official duties until to-morrow morning the Prime Alinister had many callers today, including colleagues and wellwishers.
