WELLINGTON TO-DAY.

WHARVES STILL QIJIET. PICKETS NOT IN CHARGE. THE SQUARE LESS LIVELY. [Per Press Association.] WELLINGTON, November 3. The scene is again quiet on the water front this morning, with not even the Lyt-telton steamer at the wharf. The strike pickets are no longer in charge of the entrance to the wharves. The strikers held a brief meeting this morning, and passed resolutions expressing appreciation at the action of the clergy in passing a motion deploring the preparations for armed conflict and urging a peaceful settlement.

There were not so many strikers in the Post Office Square this morning, the men having been strongly advisea not to forgather there. There is a largo number of police on duty. Superintendent Ellison states that there has been such a rush for enrolment as mounted specials that he is now sending out telegrams to the police officers in his district stating that no more are required. Some 700 mounteds were parading to-day, exercising in the vicinity of the Mount Cook Barracks. They made an impressive sight. No announcement has been made yet in regard to the progress of negotiations.

The Pukaki's crew has been paid off
