THE REPRESENTATION QUESTION.
♦ [Per Press Association.] AUCKLAND, June 4. The statement made Jby Sir Jospeh Ward at Dunedin that he was willing to adjust the electoral boundaries so as to leave the South Island as at pre-^ sent, with additional seats for the North Island, provided the leader of the Opposition agreed to the proposal, was submitted to Mr W. F. Massey by a " Herald " representative to-day. Mr Massey said that he was not going to express any opinion on the subject at present. "But," he added laughingly, " it's a pretty good admission on the part of the Prime Minister that he i cannot get any important legislation through the House without my consent, in spite of his large majority."
