**THE SILVER KING.”
A SKETCH OF THE CAREER OF THE LATE JOHN W. MACKAY.
The death of Mr. John W. Mackay, says the Morning Leader, removes from the scene of his earthly triumphs one of the most remark- able of the many remarkable British-born men who have amassed notold riches in the United States. American millionaires are cheap to-day, but, when Mr. Mackay first loomed on the horizon they were rare, and "the Silver King," as he was called, was from 10 10 15 years ago, the most notable millionaire in Europe, as his wife was the most sensa- tional-using the term in a purely inoffensive
sense-bostess in London.
A YOUNG EMIGRANT.
Born in Dublin in 1831 Mackay emigrated to New York with his parents when he was but nine years of age, and his wildest boyhood dreams could not have foretold to him the mighty wealth with which he would one-day return to the Old Country.
He started his working life as a shipwright in California, and it was not until he was 29 that the silver boom drew him to Nevada, where he was so quickly to realise his fortune. Mac kay found the famous Bonanza mines on the Comstock lode. He knew he had a good thing, and he kept it to himself till he had found the
men with the capital he wanted to work his claim.
His own share was only two-fifths of the whole, but so rich were the mines, so appa- rently inexhaustible their treasures, that by the thie Mackay came back to Europe he was possessed of a capital of £50,000,000 and an income of two and a half millions, with the re-
AFFAIRS IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Addressing a university meeting held at San Francisco, U.S.A., Professor Plehn, late director of the Philippine census and a close student of recent history and political economy, said :~~~
"The problem to-day is not, Shail we retain the Philippines That was settled once and foralion May-day four years zyn. The real issue is how to fit the Filipino for citizenship. And in this we need to supply the world with the true facts of the case. It is to be regretted that when the Philippine Commission was re-organizing, the public school system, revis- ing the tariff, perfecting the civil service system, enacting a new code and fighting an epidemic, for the first time successfully, that the only news furnished the public was the sensational accoubis of the capture of Aguinaldo, really a third or fourth rate event, or the exaggerated reports of a small com. anissary scandal, or the absurd yarns of the atrocities, of our soldiers. It is remarkable that these things should have so influenced not only the general public but even persoas who should have been better informed, and that Congress was forced to hear these matters aired before its committees and the War Department compelled to make formal denials.
"These matters, that have been filling the
public ear, have not been the real issues. W
have had several problem of more far-reaching significance to master.
We had a military struggle, an inheritance of disorder from the time of Spanish domination. It required a stretch of humanity to regard these misguided

THE SCENE OF HIS FORTUNI. Virginia City, where the Bonanza mine is sunk, and where they will still show you the spot where Mackay worked with pick and stovel, is a miserable hole now. The country round is dreary and depressing. The town is full of one-storeyed wooden huts, all empty, There is a great big hotel, also empty. There are gin saloons galore, and they are empty. At least, so it was some ten years since, and nothing has happened since to revive the fallen fortuges of the once thriving mining town, the place whose wealth created a fever in San Francisco, of which the people who remember it speak with bated breath. Fortunes were made and lost in the course of a few hours. Mea went to bed rich and got up in the morning to find themselves paupers, and as likely as not they were rich before they went to bed again. The one man who never suffered from excite-
The following appears in the Nautical ment over the boom of the Bonanza Mine was Mackay, whose steady head and iron never gave way. He knew that he must come out rich, and he did.
Gazette:--
The present talk of establishing a fast all- British service across the Atlantic to some Canadian port to compete with the recently formed steam ship combination naturally brings up the question of the port to be chosen as the
Canadian terminus of the fine. Here are some facts about Canadian ports that have been talked of for the purpose.
It is well known that the sea road between
Canada and England is shorter than between New York and England. A five-day ship to New York means a four-day ship to the Cana- dian mainland, though the time might be con siderably prolonged if the terminal was placed at Montreal or Quebec instead of Sydney or Hawkesbury in Cape Breton,

come.
PERSONAL APPEARANCE.
Mackay had the good sense not to keep his mancy in silver. He invested it so well that when the fall in silver came, it made no difference to his personal fortune, and he could leave the scene of his labors behind him with the gratification of knowing that he took his wealth with him. He was a remarkable- looking man, with the strong jaw of the man who conquers, and the clear steady eye of one who calculates. Like most millionaires he never looked like one. His most noticeable quality was his reserve. He had the splendid physique of a man who has laid the foundations of his bodily strength with hard and healthy labor in the open air, and has supported it by careful living.
HIS MARRIAGE.
When Mackay first went to Nevada, he lived in a boarding-house kept by a young widow with an only daughter but a few years old. When he first began to be rich be married the widow, the daughter of an officer who fought for the North in the Civil
benefits of the laws of war. But we have wrought patiently, and the end is in sight. Again, we have resorted as an extreme mea- sure to a plan cncerning the effectiveness and humanity of which we have gathered harsh notions from Cuba. The system of 'reconcen- tration,' gathering defenseless people within protected lines, where, for a limited time, they may enjoy the hospitality of Uncle Sam, while the guerrilla warfare is waged against their enemies-this has been successfully conducted with none of the abuses that stigmatized it in Spanish hands. And commerce, the exports and imports, which, in Spain's best year, aggregated only $60,000,000, jumped in the first year of American control to $80,000,000, increased in the next year to $109,000,000, and last year reached $120,000,000. This year, with the promise of an effective tariff, the island trade bids fair to reach the splendid figure of $250,000,000.
