French ambassadors, says Rome dis

"Who has not claims against Ven.

The general opinion here is that
Venezuela will end by giving way to
the inevitable. Much is hoped from
the influence of the United States,
which, it is thought, will certainly be
the power ultimately to decide the
question.

Hamburg, July 22.-The steamship
Primus, owned by the Hamburg.
American line, with 1856 passengers
on board, was cut in two and sunk
by the tug Hansa on the river Elbe
yesterday morning. So fas as is as
certainabe about SO persons were
drowned The Primus was an excur-
sion steamer from BuXtehude prov
ince of Hanover, Prussia.)
The terrible panic that occurred on
the Primus when the Hansa struck
her rendered the efforts to save her
passengers almost useless. Fortu-
nately the steamer Dolphin came up
Immediately and succeeded in saving
60 of those on board the sinking
steamer, while other boats assisted
in the work of rescue.
Some of the survivors furnish
graphic descriptions of the awful
suddenness of the disaster. Accord
ing to their story the band was
playing and many couples were dane
ing on deck when the crash of the
collision came like a thunderbolt.
The vessel gave great list, her deck
taking such an angle that it was i'm
nossiblp for the nasSenpars to keen
their feet. Those below scrambled
up the companionways, but most Of
the persons in the saloon were
drowned. Men fought for their own
safety, regardless of others.
In the midst of the confusion the
boilers exploded, adding to the hor-
rors Of the scene, and many persons
are said to have been injured by fly
ing splinters Of metal.

London, July 21.-John W. Mackay,
Of San Francisco, who had been SUI.
fering from heat prostration since
Friday last, died at his residence on
Carlton House Terrace at $50 o'clock
yesterday. Mr.. Mackay's condition
had improved Saturday, but the pa
tient had a bad night and yesterday
morning a consultation was held by
three physicians. Mr.. Mackay grew
worse as the day progressed He
was unconscious most of the time
and died very peacefully. The i'm
mediate cause of his death was
heart failure. The right lung was
found ito be congested and the synp-
toms indicated pneumonia.
Mrs. Mackay, her mother and
Countess Telfener were present when
Mr.. Mackay died, and Princess Gala
tro Colonna arrived from Paris a
half hour after her stepfather's
death.
How Mr.. Mackay Became Rich.
San Francisco, July 21.--Mr. Mac
kay was the last surviving member
of the four bonanza kings, Flood,
OBrien and Fair, the other three
members Of the quartette, having
long since died. For the past IS
years Mr.. Mackay had not been &C.
lively identified with the life of this
city, but had passed most Of his
time in the east, making annual Wis
its to the coast to look after his
property interests in this state and
Nevada. On the occasion of his last
visit to this city, early this summer
Mr.. Mackay completed arrangements
for q landing place for the new Pa
cifc cable, project that he was
much interested in. During . visit
in 1892 Mr.. Mackay was shot and
slightly wounded by W. D. Rippey,
who had a fancied grievance against
him dating from the stock broking
days Of the Comstock.
Mr.. Mackay came to California in
1851 via Panama. He at once entered
. mine, working with pick and shovel
in the placers Of the American river
and at Downieville. In 1859 he went
to Virginia City, New, and began
mining on the Comstock with vary
ing success. His first real start
toward success was made when he
became superintendent Of the Ken
lucky mine in Gold hill. In 1853 Mac
kay formed partnership with
Flood. 0'Brisn and Fair. In 1871
this famous mining quartette pur-
chased the site of the Bonanza ter
ritory north Of the Ophir mine, ON
the celebrated Comstock ledge.
They began work on lode aban-
doned by Sharon and other large
operators. The enterprise was q
fruitful source Of ridicule in mining
circles, nothing but financial disas-
ter being freely predicted. Without
losing heart or patience the four
men continued expending 100000 in
prospecting operations. The ledge
was struck and over sl1O,OOO,OOO were
added to the worlds stock Of pre-
cious metals. No accurate estimate
Of Mr.. Mackay's holdings in this
state and Nevada can be made, but
II will run up into the millions. He
was the owner Of valuable real Is.
tate In this city and had interests in
mines throughout The state and Ne
vsds.
