WORLD'S MERCHANT FLEETS. ■The new issue of Lloyd's Register of Shipping contains- some interesting figures. The Red" Ensign covers 11,505 steamers and sailing sjiips of 18,820,442 tons. Out of a world's Total of 30,510 such vessels of over 100 tons, the aggregate tonnage being 41,449,707 tons, we have 45 per cent, of the whole. The American total of .seagoing and lake tonnage is 4,953,812 tons, whilst Germany has 4,266,713 tone, of which 3,85!),000 tong is in steamers. Norway comes next. Then France, Italy and Japan, the latter only totalling 1,152,000 tons. Our total of 18,826,442 tons comprises 17,702,714 tons of steamers and 1,123,728 of sailing vessels. The United Stats, with 1,291480 tons of sailing ships, exceeds our total, and thus tlie Stars an J Stripes have only 3,602,332 tons of steamers, falling behind the 3,859,046 tons of Germany. There are afloat 101 steamers of 20 knots and upwards, oi which the United Kingdom has 01. The United States comes next with ten such vessels. France has 9, Germany G, liei-' gium 7, Japan and Holland 3 each, and I Russia 2. The Dutch and Belgian vessels are, ot -course, only cross-Channel vessels. Britain holds her pre-eminence also in her proportion of big steaihers. In reading the finding of the Court of J Enquiry re the Rarawa, Mr. Kettle said j the chief engineer would be ordered to pay £l2, the second engineer £B, and the third engineer £O, the amounts, tlie Court explained, being adjusted according to the remuneration the engines s received. Private advices have been received that the new 12,000-ton cargo steamer now building for the Shaw, Savill and Albion Company, is to be named the "Waimana." As "wai" means 'water," and "mana" is the Maori for "power," the literal translation is "water-power.''
