TREATY OF WAITANGI.
MAORI CHIEFS GO HOME. WILL THE KING RECEIVE THEM? j "Times" and "Sydney Sun," Services. LONDON, May 4, It is anticipated that the King will not receive the Maori chiefs who are clue to arrive shortly to discuss the Treaty of Waitangi. [The Maori "King," Te Rata Mahuta, his chief adviser, Tupu Taingakawa, and Mita Karaka, who desire to lay alleged grievances respecting the Treaty of Waitangi before the British Government, accompanied by Mr G. Paul, interpreter, left Auckland by the Niagara for Vancouver, en route fov London, on Saturday morning. There was a large gathering of Maoris at the ship's side, and when the "King" made his appearance he was greeted with three hearty cheers, delivered after the English fashion. Rata responded to this compliment by raising his hat. A couple of hakas were performed, and a band, which had been engaged to take part in the proceedings, played a few selections.]
