PANAMA CANAL BLOCKAGE. Recent flics from Home contain the following reference to the blockago in the Galliard Cut in the Panama Canal:—"Tho present sorious obstruction in the Panama Canal is disquieting for shipowners, whoso confidence in the route, as. shown by new services, was being' established. Lloyd's agent telegraphs that 34 vessels are now detained land that no date can be given for tho roopening of navigation; among theso vessels, owners'; private messages stato, are some fine British liners, many miles inside the Canal. Whether the ships could .turn round is not quite clear, but, in any case, while they are detained they aro burning coal and involving their owners- in losses whibh probably represent some thousands of pounds per ship per day. _ It is' only fair to say that, in s s?ite of foirly numerous slides oausiug .brief delays since tho opening of the Clanal nearly 13 months ago, casualties to ships have been few, said that owners have come to recognise the merits of the route for certain sorvl'ccs, especially for those between the Far East, California, and the Atlantio ports of the United States." To this it might be added that vessels trading from the United States and Canada to New Zealand ports have been seriously affeoted by tho bin landslide, as outward bound ships have had to be diverted via the Cape of Good Hope, which lengthens'the route by about 40 days.

FIREMEN CAUSE MORE TROUBLE.Wellington is »not tho only port which has. experienced trouble with ships'. firemen recently. A southern .gjjhange states that after being delayed fox- about twentyfour hours as the outcome of a dispute in regard to the manning of the stokehold, tho Calm was able to proceed from Lyttelton 1o Dimedin on Friday afternoon. The tronme, it appears, was due .to the men demanding an extra hand, it beinj alleged that the bunkers were so arranged that extra labour was enforced on the crew At first there was an indioati'on that the, vessel would be tied up indefinitely, but matters were eventually amicably settled by an extra man being signed on.
