John KelIy's Opinion of Kearney.
NEW YoRK, Aug. AT an interview with
John Kelly, the Tammany magnate, today, he
stated that the effect of Kearney or Butler on

The Recent Heavy Speculations in Stocks
jaw Gould aot Crippled.
The best and most reliable authority on Wall
street positively denies the recent reports circu-
lated as alleged in the interests of the bears
that Jay Gould has been crippled by the heavy
decline in stocks, and also the report that the
decline is owing to any rupture of friendly re-
lations between Gonld and other magnates of
the street. Gould has lost considerable by the
decline but competent judges assert that he is
still worth from eight to ten millions and is
prepared for sharp and aggressive action at
any moment.
Relative to stock speculatious, etc, the Post
says it is a matter for cOngratulation that the
main losses of the past three weeks fall upon
speculaters who count their money by millions
and who Can afford to lose what would be con-
sidered large fortune in any legitimate busi-
ness. There have also been wiped out large
amounts of profits on paper which have ac-
crued during the year, but which have not been
converted into cash because it was believed
that stocks which had earned three profits
losses has been borne by spectators capable of
carrying $5,000,000 to $40, 100000 of shares, by
stock men who do not trade for quick turns
but who are willing to carry line of stocks for
months or a year provided they think an ulti-
mate profit will pay them.

the village of Mullion, Cornwall, appearing
greatly fatigued.
For few days after leaving the American
coast they experienced fair weather, but it
soon changed, and fogs,. winds and rain pre-

clothes got wet, and for four weeks they had to

take no sleep, and were worked SO hard by
reason of bad weather that they could scarcely
eat or drink anything On the 4th of July
they enjoyed the luxury of bottle of lager
beer. which they kept specially for that day.
For eighteen days they never saw the sun, and
could take no observations. They sailed
through several schools of whales and spoke
several steamers and sailing vessels. From the
1st of July to the 26th they had terrible
weather, and broke their chronometer. When
they made Scilly light they were much ex-

The Pinney Il mbezzsement.

NEW YORK, Aug. "A San Francisco spec
ial says the salt of the United States against
VIM. b. Carr, growing out of the notorious
Pnney transactions while he was chief clerk
in the navy pay Office and obtained from the
bank $1,00O,000, has been on trial in the
United States Circat Court resulting in the
acquittal of Carr. The chief feature of the
trial was the incidental and unlocked for vim
dication of Rufus Spaulding, pay inspector at
the time Pinney used the regular naval certifi-
Gates as collaterals for money obtained from
banks. In his testimony, corroborated by 9th
ers, Pinney completely established the inno-
cence Of Spaulding in connection with the
transaction.
Two years ago Secretary Robson ordered a
court martial, which sat forty days, and on its
finding Spaulding. after nineteen years ser
vice. was dismissed in disgrace. The banks
obtained this elimination of the pay inspector
with view to recovering from the government
their losses, as Spaulding was the legitimate
servant. Pinuey testified in the case of the
Clay Street Savings Bank that its president,
Willard E Burr, knew that the navy certifi-
Gates were irregular and given to deceive the
bank finance committee, while President Burr
was paid per cent. commission for negotiat-
ing the loans, putting in his pocket $21 900,
and the bank lost by the transaction $243,O0O
Other banks lost $75O,O00. of which the Ma
sonic alone loses $224.0O0. Spaulding will as k

a view to his vindication and the restoration of
his com mmissi0n.

Edison has startled the astronomers with

watching at the same time the indications of
the tasimeter, and whenever the telescope
points at star, it will be evinced by the sensi-

will be possible to discover stars which are too
remoIe to be seen; in other words, when he can
not see them, he will feel them.

The Chinese Embassy,

SAN FRANCISCO, Aux. 2.-Tbe Chinese en-
bassy leave tomorrow for the East by a special
Car. By arrangement his excellency held an
extended interview last evening with Col. Bee,
attorney for the Chinese companies, several
prominent Chinese merchants being present.
The matters discussed related to the treatment t
of his countrymen here and the relations exist
ing between the two governments. Col. Bee is
not at liberty to give his excellency's conclu-
sicns, but he says he frequently referred to the
great friendship felt by his government towards
that of the United States, which he believed
was universal He knew of nothing having
transpred to change these friendly relations.
He spoke in high commentator of ex-Mnister
Low and Mr.. Seward especially. and referred
to s. Well Williams, late secretary of legation,
as having done much during his stay in China
to bring about the present amcable relations
existing between the two nations. He saw
much in the future to further increase this SEN
timent. The establishment Of this embassy at
Washington would bring the two peoples into
closer commercial relations, giving the United
States advantages heretofore more largely en-
joyed by other nations. Although the federal,
state and municipal authorities have paid the
embassy no official courtesies they have been
the recipients of attention from many promi-
nent citizens.

Especial Despatch to the Boston Journal
WASHINGTON, Aug. "A letter from Green

exist that the authorities here have felt obliged
in forming their plans to take into cOnsidera-
tion the danger THAT before steps could
be taken to protect their officers they
might be taken out by the citizens and hung.
