The United States gunboat York-j town, the famous little ship that Ad miral Evans commanded when he threw this country's "defy" in the teeth of the Chilanos, at Valparaiso, years ago, when he was but a lieutenant-commander in the service, and told them that "Spanish would be the orevailinn language in Hell that even ing unless they did as he told them," I entered this port at noon yesterday, en route to the Rose City and the Rose ; Festival. Commander J. H. Glennon, i is in command and her officers are as ; follows: Lieutenat-Commander E. R. Pollock, executive and navigator; Lieutenant A. Stanton, ordnance offi cer; fcnsign u. 5. Joyce, senior engi neer; Ensign H. E. Keyes, Ensign S. C. Hooper and Ensign L. Minor, watch and division officers; Assistant Surgeon R. I. Longabaugh, medical officer; Assistant Paymaster E. C. Morsell, pay officer; and Pay Clerk S. P. Vaughn. She has 182 men on board, and a hearty, husky lot of jackies they are, too. The Yorktown came up the bay im mediately and dropped anchor off the O. R. & N. pier, where she will lie until the arrival of the U. S. cruiser Charleston this afternoon, when both ships will go up the river to Port land. Captain Tom Patterson, of the river pilot service is on the bridge of the Yorktown. During yesterday af ternoon Mayor Herman Wise, accom panied Senator Gearin on board the natty little fighter and paid their re spects; the Mayor extending the free dom of the City of Astoria to the offi cers and men, and both gentleman en joying a pleasant hour in her cabin and wardroom. The Yorktown is of 1710 tons dis placement (with coal); ship's tonnage, 408 tons; cost, $450,000 ; 230 feet long; 36 ft bam; 14 feet mean draft; built in 1889 at Philadelphia; is a single screw, steel, schooner rigged vessel, of 3392 indicated horse-power; and her speed is 16.14 knots an hour. Her fighting complement is 210 men. The torpedo fleet is still on the way up the coast and is expected in today in time to join the larger craft in the up-river flight. It is said the Yorktown led them up the coast on their departure from the Bay City, and at one time, in order to expedite their movement against the heavy head sea, gave several of them a tow line, but her power and the pounding seas dragged the little black vessels under water and they were glad to let the line go and hustle into Eureka, or Coos Bay or any other old port, to escape the deluge; but they will show up alright; there is no downing the spunky destroyers and chasers.

CONDUCTOR KILLED. Slips From Slippery Platform Under Wheels of Train at Centralia. PORTLAND, May 29.-Stepping off the smoker car to file his report as train No. 1, North Coast Limited, was pulling into Centralia, Wash., at 2 o'clock this morning, bound from Tacoma for Portland, Conductor Helfrich slipped and fell under the wheels, receiving injuries from which he died in less than an hour. One of his legs and his hip were crushed into a pulp and the other leg was badly mangled. He was rushed to a hospital in Centralia as quickly as possible, but the surgeons could do nothing but relieve his pain until he expired. When he alighted the train had al most come to a stop. But the plat form was slippery from the recent rain and he lost his balance and fell. As fate would have it, the lower part of his body went directly under the grinding wheels, which were but slowly revolving. Michael Helfrich was one of the best-known conductors running into Portland. His home was in Tacoma, where he leaves a wife and two chil dren. He gained an extensive ac quaintance in Portland during the Lewis and Clark Fair, when he in spected the tickets of thousands of passengers. He was one of the old-time conduc tors and well liked by all who knew him. He was about 52 years old. The body will be sent to Tacoma for burial. Conductor Ward, of Centralia. brought the train on to Portland, and it arrived at 7:20 this morning, only 20 minutej behind schedule. There is genuine sorrow among railroad men and many other people of his ac quaintance at the untimely death of Helfrich. Subscribe for the Morning Actor ian 60 cents Per month- delivered by carrier.
