The Waikare arrived, from Melbourne via Dunedin' yesterday morning, and sailed for Sydney via Wellington last night.'The London "Times" of a late date has the following interesting notice on the subject of liquid fuel:—"The ' 'Kronstadtski Vestnik' states in reference to ,the new ships for the Russian navy that the problem of the use of petroleum fuel on board ship has been finally solved by Russian specialists. This, was proved by the splendid success obtained in the trial of tho machinery of the Rostilav. The success 18 attributed, to. a -new method of pulverising petroleum residuum by .mechanical (pneumatic) means instead of by steam, aa formerly. The engines of the Rostilav exceeded the power contracted for, and during «_ hours at full speed showed clearly the great advantage winch liquid fuel, when treated by the' new method, has over coal. It is proposed to erect at St. Petersburg two Jorge reservoirs capable of holding 400,000 poods (about 6500 tons) of petroleum.-' From private' sources we learn' that the London Board of 'Directors of the Tyser line, Limited, has decided to considerably" increase tiis' Company's command of steam tannage.' For this purpose four powerful steamers are being - built, one of which, the s.s. Tomoana, was successfully launched at Sir James Lame's yards, Sunderland, on the U__ March, v'lais will give the Tyser line a' fleet often higholaes steamers, fitted specially for the conveyance of frozen meat and produce, all of which will be available as may be required for the steam service recently inaugurated by the Company, from New York.
