MAORI FEUD ENDS.
A DRAMATIC SPEECH. Per Press Association. HAMILTON, Oct, 9. “The people of the seven canoes must come together in peace. I pledge my allegiance and that of my followers to the new king, Ivoroki Mahuta,” said the Maori prophet, Tahu Wiremu Katana; when speaking at the funeral of the late “king,” le Rata Mahuta, at Waahi Pa yesterday, thus ending a feud which had existed between the “king’s” movement Maoris and those of Taranaki for many 3-ears. The dramatic incident occurred when Ilatana, who came uninvited to the tangi, spoke of himself as “chief.” The yl-year-oid Tutanekai Taua, 'the’ninth'direct descendant of Tntanekai, rushed oat from the assembled Maoris and, holding up his hand, shouted: “Stop. Enough. You arc 110 chief. The blood of the chiefs does not flow in your veins.” A tense silence fell, broken 1)3 - Ratana, who, after hesitating a moment, referred to himself, not as a chief, but “leader of the ltatanaites.”
