Wo look for the arrival of tho Shaw, Sarill, and Albion Company's eteamslup Rangatira, from London, at Port Chalmers to-day.. . A German naval annual given details and plans of all tho world's warships, with a large amount of information about tho organisation of tho Gorman navy, tables.of tho personnel of the various Powers—which ought' certainly to bo included in such a hookas Annual," hut which are not,—details of the various naval budgets, stations of the various fleets in commission, and so forth, The following are its figures for tho battle fleets of the great Powers in 1907 as they will stand when all fillips now building are completed, though it is to be noted that no allowance is mado for tho new Russian programme of six battle- ! ships:—England, 54 blu'p? of. 749,000 tons; France, 31 ships of 344,000 tons; Russia, 26 pliipa of 302,000 tons (with new programme, 32 ships of 393,000 ton*); United States, 21 ships of 260,000 tons; Germany, 19 ships of 213,000 tons. Tho personnel of the great fleets is given as follows:— England, 122,000; United State, 37,800; Germany, 33,500; Russia, 62,000; Franoe, 53,000; Japan, 30,000. There is a little romance connected with Captain Stevenson, who brought the Union Steam Ship Company's new steamer Kakapo out froni Cardiff to Sydney. Tho captain has for years past been commanding ship; in the Old Country. Ho resigned his last command, the Atheniana, to bring the Kakapo out to Australia for the Union Steam Ship Company. Ho was anxious to get out to these parts to redeem a promise made' to a prominent New Zealand lady, which will entail bis entering the ranks of the benedicts at no distant date. Thojast news from England in reference to the Australian Squadron is to the effect that the flagship Royal Arthur is to be fitted with casemates to the arpper deck guns. All tho old 6in guns are to ho removed from her and other .misers, and the new Bin Mark VII substituted. The weight of tho how casemates will bo approximately 110 torn. The Mark VII gun? are rather heavier than tho current pattern, running into something like 33 tons each, gun and mounting, but as they take a " bare' charge" instead of thc # old brass cartridge cn-e, a great saving in weight will bo effected here.
