MR SEDDON IN SOUIH AFRICA.
,-.■ [Pek Pkkss Association.] WELLINGTON, May 30. Mr Seddon cabled yesterday to *Sir Joseph .Ward as follows : ~" Just leaving for London. Hope yourself and colleagues and family are -well. This, morning I opened the Australian Association Rooms and lunched with the Colonial Officers' Mess, a anile from tfhe camp. The Australians and New Zealandera took the horses out of my carriage amidst cheering, and! drew me to lunch." In another message Mr Seddon eaid : " I have seen Lord Milner with regard to sending shipments of store cattle for restocking South Africa. The. Argentine Government is subsidising vessels for this purpose. The freight from there is only £5 a 'head, but if the terms could be arranged for shipments from Australia I am of opinion that New Zealand could supply on even terms. Our cattle would be better bred and free from disease."
