	NEW ARRIVALS THE ARAWA CONTINGENT The Arawa, which arrived in Wellington to-day, brought out a large contingent of third-Class passengers who intend settling down in New Zealand. The total in this Class was 270 person, and of these 104 have been granted assisted passages. They come from all parts of the United Kingdom. Included in the list are nearly 30 domestic servants, bringing declared capital ranging from £2 to £10 each. Of these 23 landed with a declared capital of £2 each. The others were made up of capitalists with £5 each, of whom there were three with 10, and others with £4 each. There was one baker, one silversmith, and two carpenters, all going to work already found for them; also two joiners, a grocer and a dressmaker. A dairy farmer arrives with £400 to his credit, and there are five farmers whose capital between them amounts to £150. A fruit preserver and wheelwright (combined) has £300 in hand. A bricklayer was among the passengers who came straight out to a situation. There joined the Arawa at Hobart a party of stalwart Tasmanian bushmen, who informed the labour officer that they have come to New Zealand for a holiday, but that if they like the country they will remain in it. Several Wellington ladies were among the first to board the Arawa. Not to welcome friends returning from the grand tour, but to interview the domestic sevants. Notwithstanding tempting terms and liberal concessions as to time out, with easy working conditions, the ladies were wholly unsuccessful in their quest for domestic helpers. Miss Bremner, of the Labour Department, was among the visitors to the Arawa to give women immigrants all information which would be of assistance to them in getting remunerative employment, but the domestics were all engaged before leaving London.
