Waikare, s.s., whose run from Melbourne is being taken by the Alarama, leaves Sydney on Friday for Wellington and Dunedin. She is due here on the 20th, and will leave the same day in the East Coast-Auckland time-table. Kia Ora, s.s., shifted over from the ■ export to the Bowen pier at Port Chaliiners this morning, and commenced to take in produce. It was then expected ;to get her away this afternoon for Wellington and Auckland, Pnkaki, s.s., from the West Coast via Lyttelton, is due at Dunedin on Thursday. After discharge she returns to the Wes* Coast. Storm, s.s., from Wanganui, was due at .Port Chalmers to-day for periodical docking and overhaul. Paparoa, s.s., which has been delayed at the Bluff through bad weather, left this morning for Port Chalmers. Kaitangata, s.s., is expected to leave Napier to-day, Wellington on Thursday, and load coal at Westport on Friday for H.M.S. Powerful at Wellington. Kaiapoi, s.s., is due to leave Sydney for Newcastle at the end of the week for Dunedin and the Bluff. . The demand for passenger accommodation from England has resulted in the Wakanni being fitted out to carry four hundred passengers. She was to have sailed from London on Wednesday last for Auckland direct. The New Zealand training ship Amoknra arrived at Wellington yesterday morning from the Chathams, after an absence of fifteen days in search of the Loch Lomond. It was reported that smoke had been seen issuing from an islet known as the “ Forty-fours,” but no traces of wreckage or castaways could be discovered. Rough weather is being experienced by the Patea Shipping Company’s new steamer Arapawa, which is now on her maiden voyage to New Zealand from the J Ivcle. According to a cablegram received by the company from Captain Dixon. the Arapawa put into Walfish Bay, 740 miles north of Cape Town, on the West African coiisrt, on account of continuous boisterous weather. Captain further notifies that "all is well.” The company expects that the Arapawa will make port at Cape Town for bunker supplies, and will then proceed on her voyage. Warrimoo, s.s., from Melbourne, arrived early this morning. After leaving Hobart she _ met with a very strong southerly wind and heavy seas, which continued all the way to ‘the Bluff, but nevertheless she kept well up to time, justifying her name as one of the company’s best time-table boats. From the Bluff on the weather improved. WVn she was leaving the Bluff a part of the wmch was carried away through the wind catching the vessel and sheering her round. The Warrimoo sails for Sydney via Cook Strait to-morrow. Magic, anx. scow, came up from Port i Ohahners early this morning, and comjmencod to discharge her cargo of timber from Tautukn. Victoria, s.s., sailed this afternoon for Sydney via East Coast ports. Koonya, s.s., from the West Coast via the Bluff, is due to-morrow. The Norddeutscher-Lloyd steamer George Washington, 27,000 tons, will be the biggest steamship under the German flag. The naming of the boat, which . will be 770 ft in length, or nearly as long as the big Canarders, suggests consideration for American passengers, who are credited with a liking for travelling on Atlantic liners named after their great .men. For the Hamburg-American Line a new steamer, known as the Spreewald, built by Messrs Furness, Withy, and Co., ■l l ® 4 gone through her trials. An elecincal arrangement for automatically securing the sounding of her whistle at regular intervals during fog is one of her features. GERMAN DIVIDENDS FALL. One of the leading German newspapers is of opinion that not a single German steamship line of importance will be able to make the same distribution as that for last year. Another is disposed to think that the German-Australian will be the only one to maintain its dividend. All are agreed that the companies engaged in the Atlantic trade have had a very bad time. The emigration returns sufficiently suggest this. During the first eight months of the year the emigrants parsing through Hamburg and Bremen totalled 80,000, as against 300,000 in the corresponding period of 19CT7. By the end of the year it is estimated that the decline will represent 300,000 persons, or, at an average of £6 per head, a reduction of £1,800,000 in gross earnings. The net loss, arrived at by deducting the cost of carrying this number of emigrants, is put at anywhere between £300,000 and £400,000.
