NATIVE LANDS QUESTION.
MAORI MOVEMENT FOlt ITS SETTLEMENT.
[Per Press Association.! HAMILTON, Sept. 23. Taingakawa Te Waharoa, a wellknown Matamata chief, passes through Hamilton to-day en route dor Wellington overland, for the purpose of paying a final visit to the New Zealand Parliament in the endeavor to obtain a settlement for his countrymen of the Native lands question. He states that the Maoris are more anxious than Europeans _ for a satisfactory settlement of the great question. On his way to Wellington, Taingakawa states, he will visit all the chief settlements, and bear with him the voices of an overwhelming majority of the Maori race. Already upwards of 28,000 have deliberately signed their names to a petition to King Edward asking the Crown of England to take the matter up. Taingakawa says he will do his utmost to effect a settlement with the Government, but in the event of failure he is determined to go to England to lay the case before the throne. He claims that the Treaty of Waitangi was for the protection of the Maori race.
