TWO GIGANTIC LINERS.
Competing for the Orlent Trade.
The growing trade between America and the Orient, combined with the struggle bet- ween American transportation companie to reach the eastern markets, bave reaulted in the launching by the Great Northern Steamship Company of two mammoth pas senger and cargo vesnols--the "* Daliota and Minnesota." When one considers that each of the veseels has acommódation for 250 cabin passengers, 08 intermediate and 1,500 steerage and quarters for a crew of 250,their eizo may be estimated. Add te this cargo space for 23,000 tons of 2,240 lbs or 28,000 tons of 40 cubic feet, as well as weight of stores and equipment, and one gets and idea of their immensity.
The company have recently issued two attractive, illustrated booklets, which deal. with these vessele, the circumstances which were responsible for their construction, the routo traversed, with photographic glimpses of the various ports of call and a number of other items of great inter est to prospective travellers or those con- cerned in the advance of passenger or cargo steamers. These booklet have been for warded to us by Mr Goo. Sutherland, Gen- eral Traffic Manager, Seattle, and a glance through them is sufficient to prove their value.
From the description contained in these it would appear that the Minnesota " is a magnificent passenger vessel spacious, and luxurious, and well appointed in
every de tail, down even to padded children's play-

The 39th report to the shareholders saysDuring the half-year ending Dec. 31, owing to the continuance of the war, a large number of the Company's steamers still remained under Government charter, and the chartering of many steamers had to be continued to fill their places, so as to maintain, without dislocation or diminü- tion, all the Company's regular services. Further than that, the Directors have also extended the sphere of the Company's carrying business very successfully, not-
·withstanding many difficulties encountered,
There were, therefore, more steamers chartered than during the previous term.
Consequently, the expenditure during the past half-year has risen to larger figures than hitherto, boing Yen 3,561,601.841, showing an increase of Yon 161,820.450 over that of the previous half-year. But potwithstanding this, the Directors are pleased to be able to report that the result of the half year's working likewise, shows a considerable increase of revenue, say, Yen 4,843,327.112, being Yon 415,772.847 more than that of the term before.
As specially reported to you at the end of last your regarding the issue of new shares, they have already been paid for in part, and the balance amount will be paid in periodically according to the terms speci- fied.

The ninth Club race of the Royal Hong kong Yacht Club was sailed yesterday. "Dione " won the Championship race. and by so doing won the Championship of the year, having won ninu races, seven Club races and two regatta races. After the race had finished yesterday Dione" hoisted nino flags signifying her wins for the season. "Vernon" has had somewhat hard luck this year, especially in the races against "Dione,' and this is put down in largo measure to her sails not setting properly. It is probable that "Vernon" will have a completo new rig for next season.

Major-General Trepoff, the newly appointed Governor-General of St. Peters burg and late Chief of Police of Moscow, has long been a familiar figure in the old capital, either in the large white building in the Tvorskoi Boulevard, where his office was situated, or dashing about the town in his carriage at breakneck speed to the im minent danger of unwary foot passengers. His record is not exactly a splendid one. It is generally believed that he owes his advancement to the fact that he is the illegitimato son of a very high personage, and his appointment as chief of police in Moscow to the fact that his predecessor was dismissed for the disaster which occurred at the Tear's Coronation in 1895,

During his residence at Moscow he has proved himself thoroughly incompetent in every way. The streets of Moscow, which had been brought to a semblance of order by his predecessor, became a perfect chaos of confusion, without the least attempt to regulate the traffic. The town police are frequently absent from their beat, and not infrequently drunk. The cabdrivers drive RESERVE as they please and how they please. In the outlying and poorer districts crimes are of constant occurrence, and the general state of public security is deplorable. General
Trepoff's own preoccupation is to see that certain minutiae of the regulation are duly observed. He would come down with a heavy hand on the biliard salon keeper": who while authorized to have two tables, actually had three; but as for the good government of the town, that was his last
