FLYING A YELLOW FLAG.
Smallpox-Stricken Ship Arrives at Port
Townsend.

PoRT TOWNSEND, Dec. 29.-TSpecial, J.
There arrived here this morning the four
masted British ship Primrose Hill, ninety
seven days from Rio de Janeiro. yellow
dag was flying, and the quarantine officer
went ON board at once. 1t was found that
smallpox had made fearful ravages among
the crew. There had been ten cases, the
last of which was forty days ago. Two
men had died below Valparaiso and were
buried at sea. Captain Wilson and his
little son were among those attacked.
When off Valparaiso the crew demanded
that the ship be put into port. Although
the captain was then very i'll with the dis
ease and the crew were terribly short
handed, he stoutly refused TO put into
port. The crew at one time were quite
mutinous. While in Rio an apprentice
boy took sick ashore and was sent to the
smallpox hospital. After two days the
doctor declared he had no smallpox, and
he was sent aboard the ship again. Three
days after the ship left Rio the apprentice
broke out in eruptions. One after another
OF sailors caught the disease then.
Taking into consideration the fact that
the last case had been forty days ago, and
that there had been no temperance of the
malady, DIR. L. B. Seavey, the health Of
ficer, thought that fumigation only was
necessary. The Primrose Hill was ac-
cordingly thoroughly disinfected and
towed up tonight TO Tacoma to load wheat
for the United Kingdom.

LONDON, Dec. 29-TSpecial. lit would
be difficult TO ind parallel to such sud-
den descent from immense wealth to COM
parative poverty as that of the partners In
the great hrm of Barring Bros. d Co.
Lord Revelstoke was building a splendid
mansion in Mayfair, which was to cost
100000, but has surrendered this as well
as the rest of his property to the creditors,
to be realized upon as among the assets OF
the firm. Other partners have dealt with
their property in the same way.
Mr.. Hodgson, who was silent partner
only, and drew $4,000 year from his
share of the profits of the business, had
magnificent place in Kent, where his
family had dwelt for three generations.
This he has given over as it stands,
house, furniture, works of art and every
thing, to the liquidators, and finds himself
beginning life again at an advanced age at
a small salary in the service of the revised
limited Earrings Company.
Another partner, Mr.. Stewart, father-in-
law to Herbert Ward, of Stanley and Africa
fame, had purchased one of the most
palatial houses in Carlton house terrace,
and was spending fl50,000 in decorat-
ing and finishing it. The house was
to have been occupied by him this spring,
and great housewarming was planned.
He considers himself fortunate in obtain
ing purchaser for it in the person OF Mrs.
Mackay. Yet another member of the firm,
Henry Bingham Midway, had splendid
house and estate in Kent, which he had
found tenant for three years in Sir
Henry James.

1T WOULD COST FIVE MILLIONS.
Proposed Magnificent Gallery of Ameri-
can Art In Washington City.

New YORK, Dec. 29.--[Special. THE Tri-
buae's Washington City correspondent de-
tails plan now under consideration at the
capital for great national museum of art
which shall eclipse like institutions in the
Old World. Franklin W. Smith, of Bos-
ton is the founder of the scheme. Smith is
not visionary man. He has
brought to Washington City a perfected
plan, the result of forty years of study and
observations in the capitols of Europe.
He has enough money to be able to de-
vote the leisure of his life to this subject.
He has no object except to benefit his
country and to build at Washington City
something that shall surpass in magnifi-
cence and perfection of design anything
previously known in the history Of the
world.
The design for the gallery, for which he
paid the sum of Sc, 000 was made by Mr..
Renwick, noted architect of New York.
Itrepresents to a certain extent ideas gath
cred from studies of an old plate repre-
senting the Forum at Rome restored. In
the centre is the Parthenon, and to the
right and left descending through terraces
are succession of galleries reaching out
so as to cover space of fifteen acres. In
front of this temple, is a bridge crossing an
art1dclal stream and coming up to central
archways. Along its line are TO be placed
statues of the heroes of American history.
This roadway terminates at a triumphal
arch to be named Washington arch Be-
tween it and the Parthenon on the heights
is the second arch, which is to be called
Lincoln arch. To the right and left of the
arches are semi-circular approaches, like
those in front of st. Peters in Rome. The
galleries TO the right and left are built
about squares.
The plan is so wide, so beautiful and so
comprehensive that the involuntary re-
|. mark when hrst seen is that it is the dream
of an enthusiast. Where could money
enough be found to build such a magnin-
cent structure2
The building can be constructed at
cost of S5,000,0O0. This money Mr.
Smith expects to raise through individual
subscriptions. He himself will make his
personal contribution, and he has received
the encouragement and support of the
Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York
and has met on every hand in Washington
City cheering words from every one capa-
bile of approaching the high character of
his motives

wAsHrseTox CRY, Dec. D-lSpeciall i
The debate which the Democratic senators
stirred up today over the three senator's
elect from Idaho accomplished one OF ITS
principal objects, namely, to kill time. it
was about all the Democracy expected.
Considerable interest has been aroused,
however, as to whether Dubois viii be
given his seat without the formallty OF
another election by the legislature in his
state. The Democrats say they will hight
against such action, while most OF the Re
publicans assure Mr.. Dubois that he VIII
be given his seat.
The questions brought up today are
new, as never before in the history OF the
country has such action existed 1t is be-
Iieved the position of the new state will be
sustained. A curious fact in today's pro-
ceedings was the calling OF the name OF
the new senator, Shoup, on the roli-cail to
decide whether his own credentials should
be referred to the committee or not.

WASHINGTON CRY, Dec. 9.-Two weeks
ago Chairman Owen. of the House COM
mittee on immigration, was authorized by
majority of the members of his commit
tee to report comprehensive bill to the
House, amendatory of the present contract
labor and immigration law. The bill was
thought to be conservative measure, but
it is now being hung up because OF objec-

who at the time was absent on the Pacific
coast engaged in investigation of the meth
DDS by which Cinnamon are struggled into

views with those German-American secret
societies which are inclined to oppose any
measure which has for its object the cree
ton of barriers to complete freedom of i'm
migration to the United States. Lehl-
bach, as soon as he heard of the action of
the committee, protested against anything
being done in his absence. 1t was in con-
sequence of this protest that Owen held
up the report. which will not be made to
the House until Lehlbach returns.
