The police assert that it is only a matter of a few days and the arrest of Williams, the alleged perpetrator of the tragedy, will be in their hands. They say they have taken every pre caution against his leaving the colonies, and that he has been traced to within a few days ago. VICTORIAN FINANCE. The Government are discussing the possibility of effecting retrenchment in the public service. It is considered likely that the Go vernment will take advantage of the first favorable opportunity to place an ' instalment of the six million loan on the market, rather than float more Treasury bills.

INTERPROVINCIAL.

Auckland, March 7. At the Police Court to-day Hon. J. B. Whyte, sheep farmer, and A. F. Etheridge, Receiver of Land Revenue, were charged that they did on Ist October, 1889, unlawfully, knowingly and deceitfully conspire and agree together to obtain and acquire to themselves by divers subtle means and devices from her Majesty the Queen a sum of money to wit £103 with intent to cheat and defraud. Mr Button appeared for the prosecution, and asked for a week's adjournment. Counsel for the defence concurred, and an adjournment was granted, Whyfce's own recognisances for one thundred pounds being accepted. Mr Wilson, surveyor, engaged by the Railway League, accompanied by Mi- Frank Lawry, M.H.R., started to-day to traverse the central route of the North Island Trunk railway. The chief object is to examine the Waimarino block of 385,000 acres, through which the line passes, and which is reported to be almost valueless. A man named James Nash, sixty-two years of age, fell from the breastwork at Quay street on to the deck of a cutter moored there, and was so badly injured that he died. A butcher, named Gerald Robinson, who lived at Raglan, has been missing since Friday last. It is feared that he has been drowned. At a meeting to-night m connection with the Congregational Jubilee the sum of £614 was promised towards the church extension fund. Wellington, March 7. A fpeculiar affair, whicli is at present wrapped m mystery, was reported to the police this afternoon. A middle-aged man named Ole Andersor., who occupied a house m Tory street alone, was found last night lying m bed with his head terribly battered and covered with blood, and his hands cut about as though a knife had been drawn through them. His condition was serious, and he can give no account of what happened except incoherent mutter ing about a Salvation Army man and woman. He had evidently been murder ously assaulted, but robbery does not seem to have been the object, as a watch, chain, some money, and deposit receipts for £75 were found on him. Later. Enquiries by the police elicited the fact that a fight took placs between Anderson and a man named Moore, m which the latter received a considerable mauling, and alleged that he had been stabbed several times m the back. From Moore's statement ifc appears that his wife proceeded to a neighbouring hotel, and on returning met Anderson, whereupon a conversation took place between them. On her attempting to enter the house Anderson also endeavoured to get m, and the disturbance attracted the attention of her husband, who ordered Anderson off the premises and his wife to come m. Anderson resisted his interference, and a struggle took place between the two men, but Moore, finding his assailant too power ful for him, had to retreat inside his house and locked, the door. Anderson then smashed a glass panel and unlocked the door, after which a further struggle took place. Moore alleges he ordered his wife to go for the police, and although she promised to do so, she did not fulfil it. If Moore's statement is substantiated, it may account for the injuries to Anderson a hands. Mrs Moore states when she left the house the men were fighting viciously. Oamaku, March 7. The annual meeting of the Oamaru branch of the Shearers' and Laborers' Union was held on Saturday night. A resolution was unanimously passed, affirm ing the desirableness of amalgamating the branches m New Zealand into one Central Union, with local committees. Mr McDonald, delegate from New South Wales, addressed the meeting and stated that the presidency of the New Zealand Union had been offered t© Mr Kelly, M.H.R.I and was now under considera tion. Delegates were appointed to attend a prospective conference re amalgamation of branches. A meeting was held at Sandhurst on Saturday night to receive the report of the Chief Inspector, relative to proclaiming the Waihau and Hakateramea districts rabbit districts. The Inspector reported unfavorably upon the proposition. The meeting passed resolutions asking the Inspector to visit tin district and see its bad state for himself; also that Messrs J. McKenaie, Steward, Duncan, and Rhodes, M.H.R.'s be requested to use their influence m having the districts proclaimed rabbit districts. Dunedin, March 7. At the annual meeting of the Em ployers' Association the report stated that yery litple had occurred during the year j tp require active intervention. Reference was made to the Conference at Wellington to consider the Labor Bills and to the strike at Auckland. It was considered of the utmost importance to employers of labor that the organisation of the Asso ciation should be continued. The retiring Directors were re-elected. It is reported that the Eirl of Mcath, at present at Quecnsfcown, lias purchased Kawarau Falls station.
