BRITISH GREED

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-The frs. init.
nation of the accident which resulted
in the death of John w. Mackay, jr.,
was received here by Mr.. Mackay's pri.
vate secretary, and was cablegram
from Clarence Mackay, in which he
said John had been thrown from q
horse yesterday and seriously hurt.
The doctors had pronounced the case
hopeless. Clarence begged the secre-
tary to prepare his father for the worst.
At an early hour this morning another
message was received stating that the
young man had died last night.
Young MacKay arrived in the city from
the West June s. and sailed for Europe
on the steamer Paris, June 10.
The following details of the death of
Mackay havebeen obtained:
For some days past Mr.. MacKay and
two friends, Messrs. Lynch and Digby,
had been trying some horses, which
they had lately purchased, over. hurdles
and bitches on course laid out by Mr..
Mackay on the estate of the Duke of
Gramont, department of Sarthe, which
he had rented. Contrary to the ad-
vice of his friends, Mr.. Mackay yester-
day mounted particularly restive
horse, which had been ridden by MIR.
Lynch Thursday. The horse bolted
and rushed through the thickets. Mr..
Mackay succeeded in lodging several
trees, but he was finally overcome by
the exertion and lost all control of his
horse. He reeled in the saddle, and
finally collided with fearful force
against tree, which he struck with
his head. The collision hurled him to
the ground, and when his friends
rushed to the spot they found him suf-
fering from CHASTITY wounds in the
head, both of his eyes being crushed.
All the immediate attempts to re-
store the unfortunate young man to
consciousness proved futile, and he
was carried home and the doctor called.
Later, after hours of attention, they
restored their patient to consciousness,
but he had several relapses and ex-
pired at $50, after shaking hands with
and saying good-by to all his friends,
whom he recognized by the sound of
their voices. His last farewell was to
a favorite dog, that would not leave
his bedside. No member of the Mac
kay family was present at the death
bed.
Mr.. Lynch came to Paris to inform
Clarence Mackay, brother of the dead
man; of the terrible accident, and sue
ceeded in persuading him not to go to
the castle where the remains rested.
Mrs. John W. .Mackay left Paris on
q trip to Normandy, but she is ex-
bected back in Paris at any moment,
when the sad news will be broken to
aer.
The body will be embalmed and |
to Paris Monday next, where
It will be exposed to the view of friends
of the family in a chapelle ardent, at
Mrs. Mackay's residence, on Rue
rilsitt.

LONDON, Oct. 18.-The St. James
Gazette this afternoon made highly
| important and sensational statements
regarding Venezuela, which seem to
show that the dispute between that re-
public and Great Britain has assumed
grave aspect. 1t says that since the
Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain as
sumed office as secretary of state for
the colonies he has paid close personal
attention to the question of the rela-
tions between Great Britain and Vene-
zuela, and has taken the initiative in
directing in part the administration of
affairs of the British colony of Guiana,
adjoining Venezuela. The Gazette
says:
I'VE are now enabled to give the
tenor of the remarkable dispatch in
which is outlined the imperial policy
towards the colonies. The document
is of much Importance, inasmuch as it
was ollowed by cabled instructions
from Mr.. Chamberlain to the governor
of British Guiana. Sir Charles Cam
e@on Lees, X. G. M. G., to obtain with
ont delay vote for the provision of
two Maxim guns, one of which is to be
stationed at Uran, or elsewhere, along
the frontier, where the Venezuelans
may attempt to cross.
1.-THE mere fact that Chamberlain
has cabled instructions for the defense
of the frontier in this manner is posi-
tive proof that the imperial govern
ment will not tolerate a repetition of
the Uruan incident, and intends to
hold the frontier within the Schom-
bergh line by force if necessary.
chamberlain advocates especially
fostering gold mining. and urges the
cutting of road from the upper Bar
ina river to Guiana. pointing out it's
from military point of
view, as it would enable the govern.
ment to keep more closely in touch
with the frontier and thwart the re-
peated attempts at Venezuelan ag-
gression, adding that in view of the
possible early asdi rapid expansion Of
gold mining it will be necessary to
provide adequately for the protection
Of the northwest sdistrict, and recon-
an increase in the number of |
and police as we'll as the erec-
tion of barracks on the frontier"

though he has stated that he will
shortly resign the Office to the Union

nection with the railroad before con.

Before he left here he said to num-
Der OF friends that it would be highly
injudicious for him to attempt to pre-
side over the law department of the
Union Pacific, and occupy seat in
the senate at the same time, partic-
ularly in view of the fact that congress
at its next session will undoubtedly
pay some attention to legislation af-

of Cape Nudge Indian woman named
Sally was found in the brush on the
Songhees Indian reserve, within the
city limits. this morning. The body
was in nude state, and the clothing
some yards away. She was last seen
alive yesterday. The police believe
she was murdered, but there are only
few slight marks on the body, and
the cause of death is as mysterious as
the case itself. There is no clue what
ever to work upon.

COMMENT IN. LONDON.
English Think They Are Right and the

LONDON, Oct. 19.-(Copyright by the
Associated Press. For Americans the
most important question in foreign
politics at the present time is the
boundary dispute between Great Brit
ain and Venezuela, which has brought
forth warning note to the former
from the United States. Great Brit
ain, however, appears to have sent an
uitimatum to Venezuela, and there is
some talk of guns and military opera
tions at the instigation of the British
secretary of state for the colonies.
Joseph Chamberlain, who is said to be
working in perfect accord with the
Marquis of Salisbury.
Summed up briefly, the attitude of
England in the trouble with venezu-
ella is one of conscious righteousness.
1t is everywhere acceded here that the
British claims are perfectly justified
and complete confidence in the firm
ness of the government is expressed.
Hints have been thrown out for some
time past, that the Marquis of Sails
bury will stand no. nonsense from the
Venezuelan government, and, conse-
quently, the announcement of the st.
James's Gazette today, that the pre-
mier had sent an altimatnin to venezu-
ella, caused little surprise. and was gem
orally regarded as an ordinary incl
dent of a ''strong conservative policy"
of which there were previous examples
by the present government, the notifi-
cation to China and Ashantee being
forerunners of the present dispatch.
AS in the case of Nicaragua, every
body expects this last ultimatum will
have the desired effect without the me-
cessity of recourse to the arbitrament
of arms.
The possibility of active interven-
tion upon the part of the United
States, which is recognized as being
the most serious side of the dispute,
discussed by the Times, but English
men profess to believe that the Mon
roe doctrine is sort of bluff which
needs only to be met with a firm atti-
tude. 1t is generally believed that the
colony of Guiana is in bad way, and
that her salvation lies in exploiting
the gold fields which are in the dis
nuted area,
