Captain McKenna, of the derelict
steam schooner Minnie E. Kelt on,
lying in the lower harbor at this port
in charge of two men from the steam
er Washington, is expected here to
day to make such arrangements as
may be practicable in the interests
of his owners. Yesterday, the vessel
was visited yesterday by Captain
Albert Crowe, surveyor for the
Board of Marine Underwriters, of
San Francisco, and he found that she
is in a badly waterlogged condition,
due in a great measure to her having
struck her stern on entering the port
and smashing her rudder-post, but
that she is not beyond ready and
complete rehabilitation. Capt Crowe
also took a look over the British ship
Klhurn. oreDaratory to her docking
at the Tongue Point Mills, and found
her to be in excellent shape.
The following, from yesterday's
Oregonian, is evidently final and
authentic, and makes pleasant read
ing for all Astorians who delight in
swift and comfortable trips on the
lordly Columbia: "Captain E. W.
Spencer, has announced a summer
schedule for his boat, and also a cut
in rates which promises to make a
lively summer in steamboat circles.
Captain Spencer said yesterday: 'Be
ginning Monday, May 11 the steamer
Chas. R. Spencer will make the round
trip from Portland to Astoria on
Monday, Wednesday and Friday. On
Tuesday, Thurhday and Saturday she
will make a round-trip to The Dalles.
Sunday excursions will alternate be
tween the two places. I have de-,
cided to make the rate $1 from Port
land to either The Dalles or Astoria."
According to the Federal register
of vessels, the wrecked steamer Kel
ton,1 now in port, was built at West
Bay City, Mich., 14 years ago. She
is of 632 tons, gross, and 503 tons, net
register; is 171 feet long, 35 feet beam
and 11.3 feet depth of hold; was
built for freight, and carried a crew
of 10 people. She had an indicated
horsepower of 32S.
The steamship Roanoke arrived in
from San Francisco at 7:20 o'clock
last evening, from the California
coast, with a big load of passengers
and freight, and two days behind her
schedule. She will return down from
Portland on Saturday on the out
ward trip.
The steamer Alliance, Captain Ol
son, came in from Coos Bay yester
day afternoon and docked at the Call
lender pier , She had 71 people on
board, a few of whom disembarked
here. She laid here just 15 minutes
and then went on up the river.
The steamer Sue H. Elmore en-
prd nort vesterdav morning from
Tillamook City, with freight and
i oassenzers. She docked a lot of sal
mon at the O. R. & N. piers, and then
went on to Portland.
The British steamship Sheila, lum
ber laden for Japan, came down from
' Portland yesterday and went to sea
at once. She will go via Tacoma, and
finish loading there.
The Johan Poulsen will be down

short stay at the Callender, left out
for the Bay City.

pleted her cargo at the Tongue Point
mill docks and will leave out today
for San Francisco.

and hands resulted from the axe
head flying from the handle while he
was splitting wood and the scratches
on his face were made by a cat He
still denies he is the owner of the
bloody shirt and declares the suit he
wears was bought a year ago. He
persists in his assertion that he was
at his home at the time the murder
was committed. All this in the face
of the evidence which has been secur
ed by the police that the scratches
were not made by a cat; that the
shirt has been identified as one sold
to Martin by a second hand dealer
under peculiar circumstances which
impressed the sale on the second
hand dealer's memory and that his
wife says she first saw the suit the
day after the murder and that he was
not at home when crime was com
mitted.
Public sentiment has 'undergone
something of a change toward Mar
tin and in many quarters a degree of
sympathy is felt for the unfortunate
drug slave, irrespective of whether
he committed the crime or not. The
public's expectation was that a man
who would be arrested for the crime
would be of the low-browed, brutal
visaged type, not a man once of repu
tation in the world in which he lived
and once a soldier who, while in the
pursuit of his duties, acquired first a
disease , and through that a habit
which brought him to his present de
moralized condition.

and strength of fighting timber, ha
never been equalled. Forty-four ves
sels ranging from the 16,000-tonned
Connecticut and live sisters of her
class down to the tiny torpedo boats
no larger than racing launches,
passed through the harbor to anchor
age grounds south of Market street
ferry terminals, where tonight, out
lined in fire by their electric illlumi
nations, they lie in four long lines,
awaiting a grand review of the Sec
retary of the Navy Mctcalf Friday
morning. The parade and maneuver
ing occupied fully four hours of time
and gave to the people who made
black the hills and the mountain
heights 20 miles away a most won
drous naval spectacle they have ever
known.
San Francisco, Oakland, and other
cities nearby, all took a holiday to
witness the coming of the fleet.
There was a complete cessation of
business and the streets in the down
town sections were absolutely desert
ed. Banks and business houses were
closed and everybody flocked to the
hillsides overlooking the gateway and
harbor. More people came into
the city last night and this morning
than left during the terrible days of
the fire. Tonight the city is gay with
merrymaking and a long program of
entertainment planned in honor of
the fleet is under way! The streets
are brilliantly illuminated, the still
crowded hills of the city are now in
the play of scores of flash lights
trained from the fighting tops and
flying bridges. Below them in the
anchorage grounds is illuminated the
heaviest fleet ever assembled under
any one flag, making brilliant the
waters of the bay for thousands of
yards around.
The fleet threaded its way into the
crowded harbor past the islands and
ferry lines and reaching far over to
the Oakland shore, turned at last

Rear Admiral Evans, commander-
in-chief of the Atlantic fleet and just
now in command of the assembled
Mn nf both oceans, stood on the
after bridge of the Connecticut a
the famous flagship led the way
through the harbors gate and, until
she came at anchor at head of the
battleship column. His presence gave
fitting touch to the close of the nrst
otmi staee of the cruise. His ac
tive naval career is to close Sunday
next, when he will be formally re
ii.pit from command. The ships as
they passed into the bay were dressed
only at mastheads, big American
flags flying at the fore and alter
trucks and at peaks of gaffs.
The blue flae of Admiral Evans
on the Connecticut was followed by
the red flags of the six sub-ordinate
admirals, even Admiral Dayton him
self pulling down his blue flag as
commander of the Pacific fleet ana
substituting the ensign of red as Ad
miral Evans' ship came into view. ,
After the fleet had anchored, the
government's custom launch put out
tn the Connecticut bearing Mayor
Taylor and the reception committee
to nav the city's official greeting and
i'm formal welcome to Rear
Admiral Evans and the sailors. Ihe
launch reached the flagship at o
o'clock and between files of marines
with arms at present, the mayor and
committee were received on the quar
ter deck and taken below to the
cabin to meet the admiral. Hearty
cheers were exchanged. After the
ceremonies were over the mayor and
committee boarded launch and re
fnrtiPfl tn the citv. Following the
official call Admiral Evans came
ashore and was taken to St. Irancis
Hotel to meet his wife and daughter.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 6.-Four
months and twenty days out from
iTamntnn Roads, the Atlantic fleet
of battleships and the second Am
erican torpedo flotilla, steam today
within the Golden Gate and cast an
chor in the harbor of San Francisco
truly western hospitality awaits them.
All last night the sixteen battleships
lav at anchor off the outer lightship,
gently rolling, in the swell of the
Pacific,' with the six accompanying
black hulled destroyers bobbing
about in their usual restless manner
and making life uncomfortable for
evervbodv aboard. The glow of the
city's lights in the midnight sky
could be plainly seen from the ships
and made officers and man alike im
patient for the completion of the last
leg of the originally planned cruise
of the heavy squadrons. The path
to the Golden Gate lay to the East
ward, while a few miles away 111 the
wake of the long dimmed sun the
night lights of the tiny Farallon Is
lands, twinkled their domestic vigils
in entire ignorance of the immediate
presance of the most distinguished

naval visitor ever sent to the west
coast of the United States. Wireless
despatches sent from the ships to the
shore during most of the long night
hours told of .the uneventful journey
from Santa Cnu, the last stopping
place, and of the preparations for the
impressive entry into Snn Francisco
Bay under the glare of the noonaay
sun.
The movements of the fleet nave
been so timed by the navigators that
the Connecticut will pass within the
headlands of the gateway-Point Don-
ita on the north and Point Lobos on
the south-exactly at 12 o'clock. Rear
Admiral Robley D. Evans, who left
the fleet after the first ten days of
target practice at Magdalen Bay and
came to Paso Robles Hot Springs
for treatment, rejoined the fleet yes
terday at Monterey and took up his
quarters in the emergency cabin ot
the Connecticut where he spent most
of his time during the long trip down
the eastern coast of South America,
throuoh the Straits of Magellan and
on up the western coast of the hemis
phere, to be at the head of the line
of sixteen ships on this day of their

far-reaching grounds of the historic
Presidio of San Francisco occupy-
ng a long stretch of coast just south
of the harbor's mouth. In the city
proper the many hills that ovcrlock
the bay were sought by thousands,
Russian Hill, Telegraph Hill, Nob
Hill and all the others that have been
landmarks of the city since its birth
and which figured so largely in the
accounts of the fire's destructive pro
gress two years ago, were fairly
black with people many hours before
the fleet lifted anchors from the
ocean sands off the lightship. Oak
land sent its heavy contingent of
visitors to Goat Island, in the center
of the harbor, and to this city to get
the first view of the fleet. Ihe har-
hnr itself was iamed with pleasure
craft from the earliest hours of the
day. Many of the excursion craft
sailed outside to give the eager cn-
thusiasts aboard the .first possible
glimpse of the ships that have held
so large a place in the public inter-
est for so long a time. Once out-
