Washington RumOrs.
The Herads Washington despatch says there
is a general mutiny in the republican camp. 1t
includes the leaders as well as the rank and fle,
senators as well as members of congress, who
linger here in considerable numbers to arrange fot
patronage and to influence the new cabinet in va
rious ways.
The politicians demand that Packard and
Chamberlain be recognized. Almost all the lead
ing republican senators, with mass of congress
men back OF them, wear tonight gloomy faces,
and repeat General Buffers remark on the situa-
ton "We have taken great deal Of trouble
and have won q defeat"
Blaine has adroitly put himself at the head of
the mutiny, and believes he will be successful.
The determination is to refuse to confirm Evarts
named, unless he is carpet Dagger or some per-
son like MIR. Alcorn. The republican part of tho
senate is not unanimous in this.
The Tribune's Washington special says inilu-
entail members of the senate are troubled at Mr.
Blaine's movement, and interpret his speech as an
open defiance of the president, and declaration of
war in case the policy avowed in the inaugul al
should be persisted in.
The Worlds Washington despatch SAYS there
has been so much opposition from New York Of
fee holders including the repub lican members of
the state senate and assembly, to Evarts' appoint
ment in the cabinet and in behalf of Plat, that
Senator Sherman came to New York last week
and had two hours talk with Jay Gould to bar
monte conflicting elements.

Rich Men In California.

II the richest men 10 the world are not to-day
living in California, il is almost certain they will
be found here 10 half century hence. The late
Baron Rothschild left fortune of | 900 OO0. 600
francs-S200 900 000-which amount ut per
cent. per annum would yield yearly income Of
Sl0000000. The Marquis of Westminster, who
also died not long ago. was estimated by some to
geo per year.
About three years ago the yearly income Of
Senator Jones. of Nevada, from his silver mines
IN Nevada, was estimated at S5,000,000. Surely
this is fortune that is most rarely gathered.
especially in the course Of one mans life :: still
1t has now been greatly surpassed. j. w. Mac.
kay draws out OF his silver mines in Nevada a
yearly income of e2.750000 sterling-Sl3, O0O.

gentlemen named above per month. day. hour

while IRON the shoots and graftings no perma-

The Emperor of Russia with his $4,000 daily
would find his place between Senator Jones and
Baron Rothschid. Mr.. Mackay, however, whose
fortune increases S25 IN every minute and AZ
cents in every second, is the richest Of the rich
under the sun, which sounds the more marvellous
when We learn that 30 years ago he was in Ire
land. penness boy, 20 years ago u speculative
salesman, travelling through the United States
of America, aud l6 years ago bankrupt, devoid
of everything. But be it Us 1t be, Mr. Mackay
is hardly 40 years of age, owner of three eigbths
of the Great Bonanza, the richest silver mlne
that ever was run and thus known just exactly
why he leads on in the battle OF life.
No doubt the richest mining firm in the world
is that OF Flood and O'Brien, Mackay and Fair.
Their interest IN two bonanza mines. at the pre-
sent depressed prices, cannot be less than S32
100000. They own the Bank of Nevada, with
paid up capital OF $40 100000 and a reserve
find of 81 100000. They are reputed to own
S20000,0O0 in United States bonds Their real
estate and other property in sight cannot be
worth less than $4,000 900. Besides these in
vestments they own a controlling interest in
several other mines, some of which, like the
Best and Belcher, are believed to be on the line
of rich deposits, and may at some future day be
cassed in the list of Bonanza Mines. Add these
items together aud We have total Of 500 000,-
900, which is an underestimate of their wealth,
but how much so we cannot say. The annual
income on this property is not less than $40 00U-
600.
Next in order we should estimate the wealth
of the four principal owners of the Centr,a Pa
clfc Railroad Huntington, Crocker,
and Hopkins These men are the largest own
ers of railroad property 10 the world. These
four men have clear margin of rising $50 O0O,.
600. Besides railroad property they own great
deal Of land town sites, alternate sections. coun-
try seats city real estate, and so on. 1t is low
estimate to say that they are worth twelve and
a half millions each
