one Of the finest collections of old China,
antique furniture and other ware In New
England. In her collection Is a Washing
ton plate, one of the thirteen manufactured
by an eccentric manufacturer. who refused

They were brought over in the vessels
whose tea was thrown overheard In Bos-
ton harbor early in the Revolutionary War.
The sideboard is prettily inlaid and was
once owned by Capt. Means. an officer of
the Revolutionary War. When Lafayette
visited Portland, after his reception he
drove out to Stroudwater and visited his
old friend. Capt. Means, and was served
with toddy from this sideboard. Mrs.
Stevens's silver service has been well pre-
served and Is treat for antiquarians to see.

Admiral Brown Collecting Quite Fleet
in the Pacific.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 21.-From
information gained here it looks as if the
reports sent out from Washington of prep.
erations for trouble with Chilli were true.
Admiral Brown yesterday secured the op-
tion of new and powerful tug, the Fear
less, just finished at the Union Iron Works
She has speed of 16 knots, and has coal
enough on board for 30 days to maintain a
10-knot speed. If purchased by the gov
ernment she will be supplied with two
6ve-lnch guns and secondary battery of
four 60-pOunders and four torpedo tubes.
She Is swifter than the Chilian torpedo
cruiser and far more powerful.
Admiral Brown has also secured the op-
tion on four of Spreckles's big steamers,
the Z-alandia, Australia, Mariposa and
Alameda, to be used for transport service.
The Zsalandia can be ready at 10 hours no.
tice and all of the others inside of three
weeks.
The coast defence vessel Monterey can
be made ready in three days after her ar
NOR plate is received. Admiral Brown
has received his orders and the cruiser San
Francisco will come down from Mare ISL
and in the morning and will probably sail
on Wednesday for Valparaiso.
