The Daily News on Te Whiti.
The Dublin Specials— Fight with the Mob— lntense Excitement.
LONDON, Sept. 4. Sydney Taiwhanga and his Maori colleagues, now in London, are trying to establish an Association, which proposes to purchase 10,000,000 acres of Native land from its aboriginal proprietors, paying for it by permanent Government annuities, secured to the settlers and their descendants. The Daily News, in referring to Native affairs in JNew Zealand, expresses an opinion that Te Whiti should now be released and restored to his home at Farihaka. Five hundred special constables, who were enrolled in place of the Constabulary who have struck in Dublin, came into violent collision with the mob, and ultimately fired upon them. The excitement was intense, and a considerable number of the specials narrowly escaped being lynched in the streets.
DUNEDIN, 8 ni?r. 5. Ihe Standard Inauunce Company has declared a dividend at the rate of 7k per cent for the half-year.
