June 13. William Gumming, working at Mclndoe's stable here this morning, apparently in good health, fell down and died instantaneously. The supposed cause of death is heart disease. He was formerlp a coach driver. WELLINGTON. June 13. H.M.S. Nelson railed for Auckland this afternoon. She will, not visit Kawau as at firs!, intended. An interview took ptoco this morning between the members of the Government and several members of the House of Kepreaentativea in regaid to the completion ot tho Trunk line of railway through the North Island. Mr Sheehan 6aid the deputation was not intended on a demonstration in favor of the original proposal for a loan, the members preseut merely wishing to be assured that if further borrowing were decided upon, their claims should not bo overlooked. He desoribod the different routes through which it wns proposed that the line should pa3S. The deputation generally were in favor of the TdrannkiAwamutu route. In regard to the Native difficulty, which appeared to Mr Sheehan to be a moot important question, that difficulty existed to an equal extent in connection with both line-. He believed that the moment anything liko reasonable terms could be coir.o to with Tawhiao, that moment the King country would bH openod up, and he believed the next recess would witness tho accomplish ment of that. In reply, the Premier said no doubt at the commencement of the Public Works policy Trunk lines were the main feature of the policy, and the Government recognised that it was an essential pare of any more borrowing that the principal portion of the Trunk lines (should bo completed, so as to provide through communication in both Inlands. That idea had certainly not been deviated from except in so far aa it had been impossible to oarry it out in consequence of the Native difficulty, and the present view of the Government wa3 that tho proposed lino should be one of those on which a portion of tho money of the proposed new loan should be spent. The Native difficulty, however, stood in the way hitherto, but that difficulty seemed now to ba speedily coming to an end, and he was in great hopes that at no veiy distant time Government would ba able to cornplote surveys in that country. The line in question wus one that should be dealt with at, once, and it should ba completed at the earliest poEsible time. Mr Bryce agreed with Mr Sbeehau as to the Native difficulty being equal in rpgard to both proposed routes. He had made every inquiry he could as to the naturo of the country of t,be respective routes, and was free to confetß he was not in a position (o express any opinion on the subject. As to tho Natives offering any obstruction to the work of exploration in that district, the Maoris naturally wished to conserve their interests as far as possible, and to do so by arrangement with the Government. That was reasonable on their ptirfj and Government would bo prepared to meet them an far as they reasonably could. Beyond that he did not think the Natives had any intontion of offering permanent obstruction to the rate of progress in that district. Before long he expected the Government would be able, with their full concurrence, to make surveys through their country. Tawhiao expressed hi 3 opinion that the line should not stop at Auckland, but ehould go as far as tho North Cape. The Colonial Treasurer, referring to the loan, said the Government proposod to allocate it to particular works, and as far as it was possible, in raising it on the faith of the Udony, would be pledged to the execution of

| those work?. Of oourße it waa impossible to pledge further thau that, but the Government wore quite prepared for the execution of those works. The Government were quice clear i that the time had passed by when a large sum of money should be borrowed and the objeot for its allocation sought afterwards.' The Government proposed to found their borrowing on the amonnt of works to bo done. DUNEDIN. June 13.
