The establishment of a British coaling station for both naval and merchant ships on fanning Island is lorecasied by t-ne Pacific Marine Review, o: S;m francisco. The journal states that its a result of Admiral Jellicuc’s visit to Fanning Island last year the Admiralty despatched two engineers (Messrs A. 1.. Perfect and S. H. Littlei to the island, and they pas-ed through Honolulu on the way to fanning Island at the beginning of this month. Should the repor of the engineers be favourable, it is exported that the long-discussed plan of establishing a ba.-e on the island, to supply both coal and od. will be carried out. If this is done, it is presumed that much of the shipning now resorting to Honolulu for supplies will be di\tried to the Fanning Island station. A feature of the coastal shipping at the present t.me Pay- the Press 1 is the large amount - f cargo offering at Lyttelton for ■Wellington, and. to a lessor extent, the amount coming from Wellington to Lyttelton. fn addit'on to the firry steamers, the Union Uom; ;.nv has the two East Coast steamers running, also the Coriunit and Te Anau n:akin / turiodical trips, and quite frequently a !v" boat is pressed into the service. "I'll ■ Can; rbury Steamship Com-j-anv lias p:,- K.iru running continuously between the two ports, its other three vessels also in dung frequent trips. Smaller Vio.its which run regularly are the Wotton, Baden Bowel!, and Wakatu; the schooner Lily is also running between the two ports, and the Job.:, makes frrnucnt trips. So much cargo had accumulated (luring last week that the Blackball steamer Ngakuta was brought down empty from Wellington to load for that i-iirt. The northward cargoes consist largely of produce—potatoes, iiour wheat, chaff, oat.-, onions—although a fair amount of merchan'iLse is also forwarded. The cargo.s from Wellington consist mainly o; transhipment.- from oversea yesels. S 111 i 'IT NCi TE LEG RAMS. (Per United Press Association. 1 NEWCASTLE. June 23. Arrived —Waipori, from New Zealand.
