(PRESS association telegram.) GISBORNE, March 6. Mr W. E. Goffe, Native Land Purchase officer, who has inspected the wreckage at Te Araron, and that found nearer Gisborne, says ho is convinced that all is from the same vessel—evidently a three-masted ship. Melted copper and brass fittings founa at Te Araroa support the fire theory. The condition of the articles indicate that they havn not been in the water long, PASSENGERS FROM AUSTRALIA.

JAPANESE STEAMSHIP SERVICES
NEW LINES BEING- OPENED.
The American Trading Company of Ausmanaging agents for tho Uaaka bhosen Kaisha Company, which is now operating a monthly cargo service between Australian porta, APanila, and Japan, have received information from Japan, indicating that threa new lines aro to be opened in March. These comprise the following: — 1. Singapore, Bangkok (Siam), Pontianak (Bonieo), Batavia, Singapore, 2 boats (2000 toiw), twice a month.
2, Calcutta. Rangoon, Singapore, Batavia (Samarang or Sourabaya), Singapore, Bangoon, Calcutta, 2 boat 3 (3000 tons), twice a month.
3. Singapore, Port Sett-enham, Penaag (Malay Peninsula), Deli. Palembang (Sumatra), Singapore, 2 boats (£OO tone), twice a month.
It appears that Mr K. Kamiya, general manager of the branch at Formosa, who was entrusted with the pioneering work in connexion with the opening up of the cargo eervice of Australia, and who visited Australia about 18 months ago, is now on an extensive trip to Malay Peninsula, Java, Siam, and India, making all the necessary arrangements preparatoiy to the opening of tho new lines. For eervice on the new lines now under contemplation, tho Osaka Shosen Kaisha is building about 30 ships, aggregating 300,000 tons dead weight, moet of which are now under construction in the Osaka ironworks.
Tho opening of these new lines will probably have the offect of providing better facilities for trade between India, the East, and Australia, and the ultimate connecting 1 up of thcee Australian and Eastern lines, with the service to the United Kingdom will, it is expected, eventually be accomplished. Tho possibility of Australian importers being provided with facilities for shipment of cargo from Indian ports to Australia i 3 at the present somewhat important, in v;ew of the fact that only quite recently two steamers which had loaded eoods for Australian porta not only were discharged withdrawn for other services, but a third vesssl engaged in the trade was also withdrawn. It is interesting to noto that the total numoer oi vessels in'the present fleet of *he ueaxa ohosen Kaisha. together with miacr construction, is 180, amongst which
are six vessels of 10,000 tons and sis vessels of 6000 tons. It ia anticipated that the existing monthly cargo service between Australia, Manila, nnd Japan will be enlarged and improved bv the substitution <>t newer and faster vessels of greater carrying capacity, and with the linking up of the JapanAustralia service with tho Pacific coast, via New Zealand, a Pacific triangular service will no doubt eventually be accomplished. The net profit of the last financial half-year's operations of the O.S.K. was £1,000,000.
