kinau, which arrived on Saturday al
noon from Hilo. had large list of pas
sengers and a lot of Island produce
including 200 sacks of potatoes. which
commodity was greatly needed by the
local market. Some hundreds of cords OF

TWENTY LARGEST STEAMERS.
The recent launch of the Cunard
boat Invernia from Swain & Hunters
yard on the Tyne. the fourth largest
steamer at present afloat, induces the
: Hamburgische Borsenhalle" to COM
pile list of the twenty largest steam
ers yet built, apparently with the mo-
tive of showing that Germany is fast
Great Britain up. not only in
the owning but in the building of these
Ieviathans. The confession has to be
made. however, that the White Star
liner Oceanic has wrested the palm
from our Teutonic cousins. that vessel
having supplanted the Hamburg-Amer
lean liner Deutschland at the head of
the list. Ii is pointed out that of the
twenty steamers of more than 11.00O
ions register. nine are British. nine
German and two American. OF the
German boats, two are the products of
Harland K VOLTS yard, viz, the Penn
'ylvania and the Belgia (the latter not
yet finished), so that zout of twenty
,essels built, eleven were built in Great
Britain or Ireland (seven of them in
Belfast. one on the northeast coast of
England and three on the Clyde: two
we're built in North America and seven
N Germany. If. however. the boats of
10 900 TO IL 900 tons are taken into ac-
count, German competition takes still
more serious aspect, seeing that Ger

\ BUSY PORT.
From the report of the harbor mas |

continued progress. The total tonnage
