The Portland & San fTancisoo Steam chip Company's new steamship Beaver to-rived this afternoon. 62 days irora Kew York direct, and brought a full cargo of freig-ht for Portland. As she steamed up the bay the docks were lined with crowds of people, who hastened to the waterfront to get & view of the new craft and she was accorded a hearty and noisy welcome. "Whistles sounded on all the vessels anchored in the harbor and lying at the wharves. Captain "William Kids ton, formerly of the steamer Kansas City, is master of the Beaver, and went Kast to take charge of her. He reports an uneventful trip and says that pleas ant weather was encountered during the entire passage, even while round ing the Horn. Two stops were made for coal, one at Montevideo and one at Coronel. but aside from that there were no delays. The run could have been made in much better time. Captain Kldston says, but no attempt was made to crowd the ves sel and she ran under low speed prac tically all the way. Steamer Heavily Latlen. The steamer waa heavily laden and as she Is destined for an oil burner, she has not the bunker capacity to carry sufficient coal for a fast run. Even with the speed maintained it was necessary to replenish the fuel supply twice on the journey. The Beaver is said to be the finest passenger steamer that ever entered this port, with equipment and furnish ings equal to those of any craft now running on the Pacific Coast. She is built of steel, has 5000 horsepower en gines and her dimensions are as fol lows: Length, 380 feet: beam, 47 feet; depth. 26 feet; tonnage, 4508 gross, 2780 net. She jtias a license, to carry 275 first-class and 125 second-class passen gers and has accommodations to in crease this number by over 300. Double Bottoms Arranged. She Is constructed with double bot toms, the space between the bottoms being designed for storing fuel oil so that her freight-carrying capacity is exceptionally large for a craft of her tonnage. When the Beaver arrived to day she had a. crew of 60 men. Includ ing Captain Kldston and Engineer Robert S. Paul, who was also, formerly of the steamer Kansas City. This number will be increased when she goes on the regular run between Port land and San Francisco. The appointments and furnishings of the steamer are especially elaborate and she is equipped with every modern appliance and convenience that will add to the comfort of her passengers or will hasten the handling of freight. At present her furnaces are rigged for burning coal, but it Is understood that before going Into the regular service ehe will be changed to an oil burner for which she was Intended when built. Everyone on board arrived In the best -of health, with the exception of Captain Kldston, who is suffering from a severe attack of grip, but he is able to attend to his official duties.
