TWO BONANZA KINGS.
Gossip About Mackay, Fair and the
Nevada Bank.

From the NelC York Mail and Express
The retirement of James C.. Flood and his
business friend R. H. Folls rs directors
from the Nevada bank of San Francisco
and the continuance of ex-senator Fair as
president, has created comment in business
circles here, but no surprise. 1t is rumored
that John w. Mackay, whose relations with
Fair have been strained for years, contem-
plates withdrawing soon and leaving his
ancient friend and modern rival in COM
plete possession of the immense banking
concern. Those who know Mackay say
that he would much rather withdraw, even
if he lost several millions, than to remain
and continue business relations with Fair,
for whom he has an antipathy too strong to
overcome
One of the new directors, an old business
associate of the ex-senator. Mr.. A. f. Davis.
is quite character on the Pacific slope, and
is said to play wonderful game of poker
He is nearly 20 years old. and had an inter
est in the South Pacific coast railroad He
is not even millionaire, and his reputation
for financial ability is not quoted at par.
But according to all accounts he is great
friend of Mr. Fair A gentleman from San
Francisco, speaking of Fair and Davis,
said: Davis is not worth over 500, 900
but ex-senator Fair wants him around
always to act as his man Friday. 1t is a
curious sight TO see the pair together Davis
is still active and shrewd. and does not hes
itate TO assist the ex-senator in any of his
enterprises The connection of Davis with
the bank means that the president is getting
ready to have all his friends directors and
run things to suit himself.
YES ne continued, "the Nevada bank
as great moneyed institution has had
quito history. 1t was started October /,
1875, by the four bonanza kings, Flood,
Fair, OBrien and Mackay. The latter
owned two-fifths of the shares and the
others one-fifth each. The Comstock was
paying then and the bonanza was in full
blast. These four money kings concluded to
do the business for mining enterprises and
launched the bank. Things went on prosper
ously and no one dreamed that a day would
ever come when the bank would cali for as
sistance from an outsider. The bank was
supposed 10 represent in It's aggregated
wealth the riches of a great nation. In
1879 or along about that time, O'Brien
died and left S11,000,000 in the bank.
His widow continued as a partner for
some years. Fair and Mackay could
not agree, and finally they had quarrel
and have not spoken since. Then regu-
lar war commenced, and ended by Flood
and Mackay forcing Fair to retire from the
bank. In the settlement they gave him,
among other collateral, what they sup

NEWS OF STANLEY.
He is Reported as Having Been
Severely Wounded


LONDON. June 21.-A dispatch from st.
Paul de Leonda, dated yesterday, says:
Several deserters from the Stanley expedi-
ton have reached Camp Yambunga. They
state that after traversing the upper Aru-
whimi, Stanley struck into a rough, noun
famous country covered with a dense
forest. The natives, who were excited by
reports spread by the Arabs, disputed the
passage of the expedition, and there was
continuous fighting. Stanley was severely
wounded by an arrow. He was compelled
several times to construct camps in order
to repel the attacks, and was obliged to use
the reserve provisions that were in
tended for Emin Bey. The Soudanese
attached to the force had all died or disap-
peared. The deserters estimate that the
caravan lost one-third of its men, and they
say many of those remaining were ill includ-
Ing the Europeans. Stanley was encamped
when the deserters left He was surrounded
by hoStiles and was unable to send news to
Emin or directly to Yambunga Mai Bar
tellot had returned to Yambunga, where
he was awaiting men that Ward was col
Letting to form powerful expedition to go
to the relief of Stanley. The sickness at
Yambunga was leSsening, but only so of
lbs Zanzibars survived. Tippoo lib re-
cruited 625 men to form two caravans
and started for the interior about the end
of January. Ward left Bona May for
Leopoldville, where he was to embark men
and provisions in the Congo state on the
steamer En- Avant for the Aruwhimi
Early in May the steamer Stanley left
Stanley Falls, taking Bartellot's first rein
forcements and supplies. Yambunga
advices reach the middle of April. The
time the deserters left Stanley is uncertain.
Governor Jansen left the Congo on the
18th inst. on his way to Europe to consult
regarding the sending of assistance to

him. If this programme be carried out
the probabilities are that Sherman will
stand his ground and keep Harrison in his
rear for some time, and that when the
break comes be it tomorrow or next day,
Blaine will be nominated and some of the
Blaine strength is in the Sher-
man column, some In Ayers
support, Harrison's. Alson's and Greshams.
Elkins to-day claimed there were 500 Blaine
men in the convention, and the ticket at
this hour is Blaine and Harrison. Other
candidates. are dwarfed by this struggle
between Blaine and Sherman, though
there is growing belief that
Gresham is the strongest man.
Allison is still well thought of as COM
promise candidate, and Mckinley and For
aker, particularly the latter who has be-
come very popular, are talked of as dark
horses. Alger and Depew appear to be out
of the race. Phelps is the only man talked
of for vice president, but Phelps said to-
night he did not believe he could be nomi-
mated on account of the intense opposition
OF Depew's friends in New York.
