PRINCE IN KIWILAND.

WANGANJ, May 3. The Prince of Wales replied to addresses presented at various centres as he was returning southward along the west coast. Speaking at Hawers, the scene of past historic fighting between the Pakeha (which strangers) and the Macris, the Prince said that nothing pleased him more in New Zealand than the evidence be found everywhere that the Pakeha and Maoris were now one people in devotion to the dominion, the empire, and the King. There was much enthusiasm at Wanganui, where H.R.H. inspected a large body of returned soldiers, nurses, and cadets. He subsequently visited the collegiate school, where 300 boys vociferously welcomed him.

FRENCH STRIKES.

PARIS, May 3. While the railway services. continue practically hormal, owing to the help of loyalist and volunteers, the strike of seamen and dockers appears to be meeting some success. For example it is reported that all the vessels at Marsilies were abandoned by the crews, Over two thousand passengers are stranded, and thousands of tons of merchandise are deteriorating.. The government has taken measures to maintain the shipping services required for indispensable imports. It is thought the miners are unlikely to join the strike as their demand for pensions for slate-quarriers similar to those of the miners was granted. ~

Witness: tenants are leaving premises and they wish to make rouble for the people coming after them they break a small portion off the stove. This was usually done by breaking a small piece of At pre sent none of my people will go down there except two at a time and I have had to pur in extra lights.

Mr. Davidson Then your sugges. tion is that their object was to do you an ill rum?

Witness: Because they had lost the premises.

Mr Davidson: Your suggestion is that although you treated them with great generosity, out of pure malice they smashed the stove?

Wirness. Yes..

Mr. J. H. Gardiner, who appeared for the plaintiff, explained that his client, as his Lordship possibly knew, was the proprietor of the Coroner Theatre in Wyndham Street. In
