BANGKOK LINERS.
The Scottish Oriental Steamship Company, says the Bangkok Times, bave resclved to im- mediately commence building two new boats for the Bangkok-Hongkong run. These stea- mers will both be slightly larger than the modem Chow Tat class, The East Indian Steamship Co., Ltd., have bought from the Straits Steamship Company their steamer Clio, a boat of 767 tons, net register. It is intended to put this steamer on the Bangkok-Singapore run where she will replace the Kelantan (Medusa).

trade.
STEEL SHIPBUILDING.
PROGRESS AT BANGKOK.
A steel lighter for the East Aslatie Company, built by Messrs. Howarth, Erskine, Ltd., hns been launched at Bangkok. It is of the follow- ing dimensjons--length to feet, beam 23 feet, deph 9 feet, and a cargo capacity of 300 tons.

RANGOON OUTRAGE CASE,
IMPLICATED MEN TO BE DISMISSED.
It has been decided that the men of the West Kent Regiment, who were implicated in the recent outrage on a Burmese woman at

TONQUIN TO NOUMEA.

WRECK STATISTICS FOR 1998.
The statistical summary of vessels totally lost, condemned, etc., just issued by Lloyd's Register, shows that during last year the gross reduction in the effective Mercantile Marine of the, world amounted to 1,141 vessels of 820,725 tons, excluding all vessels of less than 100 tons, Of this total loss, 322 vessels of 463,241 tons were steamers ane 819 of 337,484 tons sailing 'vessels. As regards steamers, the present return exceeds the average of the preceding seven years by 56 vessel und 135,257 tons; as regards sailing vessels it is below the average by 31 vessels and 28,551 tons. The excess in the case of steamers follows on the great increase during recent years in the amount of steam tonnage afloat, and is partly attributable also to the amount of tonnage broken up, condemned, etc. Apart from cases which come within this later category, the United Kingdom steam tonnage lost during 1898 exceeded the average of the preceding seven years by about 25,000 tons, while the tonnage owned has increased since 1891 by nearly 2,500,000 tons.. The summary exhibits interesting data as to the relative frequency of the different kinds of casualty, etc, concluding the existence vessels. Strandings and kindred casualties, which are comprised under the term wreck. ed," remain the most prolific cause of disaster, 42 per cent of of the losses of steamers and 47 per the losses of sailing vessels in 1898 being attributable to such casualties.
