He was lothe to believe that he was seriously ill, and made several attempts to get out of bed before he became persuaded that his condition was critical.

He went at once to the mines and engaged in mining and in the lumber business for several years. In 1864 he disposed of his interests in the mining districts and engaged in the coal and wood trade in San Francisco, carrying on an extensive business for many years.

He was a member of the Reputlican county committee here for several years, and in 1876 was chosen a Presidential Elector for the election of Rutherford B. Hayes. In 1880 he was appointed Consul of the United States for the kingdom of Hawaii. He took possession of that office on February 24, 1881 and filled it with conceded ability until July 1, 1885, when he was superceded by an appointed by President Cleveland. Immediately upon his retirement from this office, Mr McKinley was appointed by the King of Hawaii to the Consul-Generalship of that kingdom at San Francisco, which position he held at the time of his death.
His has been a familiary figure in official circles here, and habitaes of the Palace Hotel, where he made his home, has been in the habit of pointing him out to strangers as one of the distinguished men of the city. His resemblance to the portraits of his still more distinguished brother has also been a subject of current comment.
