The boat was washed up on the beach, and as the clothes of Wiltke were found iv the bottom of the boat, evidently he had tried to swim ashore, but the sea was too heavy lor him.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION AT ALEXANDRA.

,<» Winiata's Captor, Barlow, Fired At.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Intense excitement was caused in town this morning by the receipt of intelligence from Alexandia that an attempt had been made on the life of Bailow, who captured Winiata, and whose life has been threatened by the relatives of the perpetrator of the Epsom murder. Barlow, it would appeal-, proceeded from Auckland to Waikato on business, and, despite the threats of the natives, ho has been hobnohbing with the King's son, Tv Tawhiao, and other, leading Kingitea. The following telegram, ', received at 9 a.m. this morning by Mr Superintendent Thomson, from Sergeant AlcGovern, of Hamilton, was the FIRST DESPAICH, giving particulars of the atteinptedjjassasi natiou, to arrive in town :— "An attempt on Barlow's life was made by a native at Alexandra last night. Bar low arrived here at 4 this morning, having been escorted from Alexandra by the constabulary. It seems that Barlow came to Alexandra last Saturday to look after some horses. About 10 o'clock last night, iiarlow, in company with Tv Tawhiao, went to the hotel stables to assist Tv Tawhiao to get bis horse. As Barlow opened the stable door two shots were lired at him, one of which struck him across the breast, passing through the vest and coat. Barlow saw a native running away, and fired at him, hut the shot took no effect. The constabulary searched for the offen der, but without aucccas. - FKANCIS Me- Govern, Sergeant."

Another Account of the Oc ourrence.

(FROM OUR OWH CORRESPONDENT).

HAMILTON, this day,

Barlow had been in Alexandra since Saturday looking after the horses left behind when he captured Winiata. Having secured them, he spent yesterday in com pany with Tv Tawhiao,]|intendingjto start for Auckland early to-day. Whilst liriuk ing with tne natives before separating one native proposed tho tonst "Ketaori Winiata. This put Barlow on the gxii vive. Shortly afterwards he went with Tv Tawhiao to get the horses out of tho stable, While opening the door twd shots were iired at him. One struck him on the breast and passed through his coat and waistcoat. Barlow drew a re volver and fired 10 shots at the retreating nativp, nheu Tv Tawhiao cried—"l am shot." Barlow fearing he bad killed Tv Tawhiao, desisted from following the native, who thus escaped. Capt. Gascovne immediately turned out the Constabulary to tcour the country, and deemed it prudent to send Barlow underoacort on to Hamilton, where he arrived at 4 o'clock this morning, and proceeded to Auckland by train. The search for the would-be assassin is as yet unsuccessful.

CAMBRIDGE, this day.

The Opinion in Cambridge.

News has been received here of the at tempt on Barlow's life at Alexandra last night. It is said, on his arrival there from auckland, the matter was communicated to Winiata's friends in the King Country, and on going to the stable at Finch's Hotel last night for horses, in company with To Tawniao, two shots were fired at him. Tne general opinion of people here is that the matter was preconcerted by way of attaining notoriety, which may make Bar low a good mark for some Auckland show* man. In facf, the story is universally disci edited.

Whatiwhatihoe {Near Alexandra) This day.

opinion in Alexandra,

You will doubtless, through your Hamil ton correspondent, have received particulars of a reported attempt to murder Barlow, Winiata's captnrer. JI say " reported " advisedly, as one of Barlow's com panions and others distinctly deny that any shots were fired except by Larlow himself.' This settlement is all in excitement to-day on the matter. Tawhiso is absent at Kawhia. The natives say that Barlow's coat was singed, wbich could not have been tbe case had the shot been fired from the spot some 20 yards distant, where the assassin is alleged to have been planted. It was a great mis take, Barlow visiting this place so soon after the execution of "Winiata, and will cause immense trouble. I would suggest to the authorities tosendUheir most experienced detective here immediately. The course of the bullet has been traced, but not found. It is said that Barlow was warned of the daDger here, and be should have imme diately gone away or kept inside ths hotel. He appears to have trusced to the presence of the King's son, Tv Tawhioo, tor his safety, which he should have known was useless, Reports are so conilicting that a good man .should be sent at once.

MERCER, this day.

Barlow is in the train on hia way to Auckland. He was shot at twice last night. His coat is cut.

LATEST PARLIAMENTARY

Sitting Ihis Morning,

(PBRPBESS ASSOCIATION.)

WELLINGTON, this day.

The House met at noon. Iho P/otcc tion of Telegrams Bill was roported from the Legislative Council, with amendments which were agreed to.

Questions.

Replying to Mr Sutton, Mr Bryce cuM tho Government understood that peti tioner, Walter Sluimpton, was satis fied with the action, and that .hero was no further intention of takina the opinion of the Court of Appeal as to whether the nativo lands duty, paid by him, was correctly assessed by the Cbief Judge. Replying to Mr Pyke, Mr Bryck said the Government considered the police weru fairly well paid, and that no addition jto ihe present rates of pay was contotnpliited. The claims of long service men were at present under consideration. Keplyingto MrWaiGHr, Mr Dick said the Government would be prepared to tnko steps to supply public libraries with copies of the treatise on tbe grape vine by Mr Fred. Mohr. Replying to Mr DANIELS, Air DICK said the subsidy for libraries would be proposed on the supplementary estimates, and if passed would be distributed amongst tho libraries without delay, care being taken that small libraries would have a fair share of the sum. Replying to Mr J. W. THOMPSON, Mr Kolleston said tbe expense of the forest conservation was so great, the Government could not consent to timber licenses being made county revenue. Replying to Mr Tole, Mr Dick said that intheca9eofWrenatAuckland,cbargedwith embezzlement, a miscarriage of justice ap peared to have taken place, and amend ments in tho Larceny Act would be made so as to meet the requirements of Bimilar cases. Replying to Mr Fbldwick, Mr PICK said it was so late in the session, that the Government did not propose to press tbe Bankruptcy Act this sescion. The Bill would be circujated during the recess, so as to enable the mercantile public to form an estimate as to its provisions. Replying to Mr Stewakd, Major Atkik sox said the tea per cent, reduction had been generally restored on salaries of offi cials. The Bouse adjourned at one until 2.30 p.m. [FBOM OUR SPECIAL COREESrONDSHT.I Petitions. The Public Petitions Committee ware favourable.it is understood,that the engine drivers' petition, for an increase of pay, be recommended ; also that the prayer of the Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, for a monopoly of the railway goods shed at Lyttltton, should not be recommended. Inspection of Sea-Going Ships. Mr Moss gave notice to ask if tho Got vernment intend maktng provision 'for the" inspection of sea-going and other sailing vessels employed in the New Zealand trade, in regard to which the Colonial Treasurer stated, on the 6th July last, in reply to the hon, member for Nelson, that Ministers then had the matter under their considera tion. The Chairman of the Special Taxation Committee asked for an extension of timp till Friday. Mr Shrimski protested against the coarse taken by tbe Government in shelving his motion for adding a clause to the Loan Bill by tbe appointment of this committee. Mr Moss thought the com mittee ought to state whether there was any prospect or their coming to a decision, If not, better discharge it than keep it dangling before the House until the Loan Bills had passed, 'lhs Treasurer de clined to give any informatiop. The House had appointed the committee, but the committee must be lett to do its im portant work ;n proper time. Extension of time granted. The Brogden Claims. Mr Brodgen takes his case to the Privy Council. Sir J. Hall, Messrs Macandrcw and Pollen.l ana told, fought hard for him, and the committes only carried the report by a majority of one. Amnesty Bill. Mr Bryce has introduced an Amnesty Bill. It does pot include tho names of any persons, but gives tho Governor p»wer by proclamation to condone offences of persons by the publication of their names in the Gazette. Tlie Direct Steam Service. The wholo of last night was occupied in debating the Postmaster-General's resolu tions re Direct Steam Service. It was intended by tbe Government to go into Committee of Supply and pass the remain der of the estimates, but tbe Opposition, about midnight, knowing that they would be kept till early morning if once the Howe got into committee, commenced speaking against time. During the debate Mr Seddon wanted, to know why Government wished to bring to many immigrants into the colony when there were over a hundred thousand children attending the schools. What would become of them ? Some bon, member-said, "Boil them down." Mr Seddon asked if it would not be better to boil some of the parents down to prevent so many children being born. Such lan guage, to say the least of it, in not cal culated to raise the tone of the House. The subtidy for the direct ateam service was finally reduced to £20,000. There is much dissatisfaction, among Southern men about the redaction, Mr Macandrew saying the vote is worthless; but, the fact is, if the New Zealand Shipping Com pany can run boats for £30,000 a year to protect their own interests, they can do so for £20,000 a year. There is little chance of the vote being increased, as the Ministry are not all very eager for the service, Major Atkinson and Mr John ston, I hear, being the most zealous.

The Chcub was moderately attended last night, wben the usnal performances were gone through. The Newton East Public School narrowly escaped destruction by fire shortly after midnight this morning. Mr Burgess, assistant surveyor to the City Council, who lives in the vicinity of the school, was awakened by a crackling noise, On pro ceeding to the door of his residence and looking out he observed a strong glare proceeding from the windows of the school. With admirable coolness be awakened several of the neighbours,' and the keys being obtained trom the care taker, the incipient conflagration was soon extinguished. It was found that the fire had burned a large hole in a double partition. The fire having apparently emanated from the vicinity of a recess in which the gas-meter is kept. We understand that the members of the School Committee believe the lire to be the work of an incendiary, but there are evidences that certainly do not give grounds for any such suspicion. The gas was found turned off, and had tbe fire been the result of a design, the incendiary would certainly have tampered with the gas-meter. Tie spot where the fire originated is in close proximity to the fireplace, and it is far more probable that a spark from the ashes therein occasioned ihc fire.

BARQUE SIGNALLED.

A barque, lnsldo Tirltid, waa signalled late this afternoon. Tiio Ar;;ile, whloh anived from Whangarel last evening, reports passing h large barque-rigged vessel with painted ports bound this way outside Tlntirl.

Australian Footballers arrive Next Week.

Some surprlso was caused in football circles to-tlay by a telegram from Mr Arthur J. Bate, Secretary o£ the Wellinßtou Ituitby Union, stating that tlio Sydney team will leave tho other side for Auckland tomorrow. The mes sage further requested that intelligence should bo sent immediately stating tho Auckland programme, and presuming that the local men could arrango two matches. Astonishment is freoly expressed at tho manlier in which Auckland has been treated in theso arraiißomcnts. Nothing had beon heard concerning the visit elnco July 11th and- it was geneeally faoUovcd horo that tho trip had beon abandoned. It would therefore appear that tho Wellington union havo sinco been in chmimmication with tho visitors, and tho faot that thoy have Riven tho local men such short notice at least implios a want of cmirtosy. Tho Sydney men will arrive here on tho sth proximo, in tho s.s. Hotomahana, and tho match will poobably take place on tho Oth. There is now scarcely suflloient timo at tho disposal of tho Auckland klckists to get to- Kethor a team, but not a moniont will bo lost.
