SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.
A Part Of the Profits of KeaP-
ney's Three Years Agitation.

San Francisco Chronicle, April 2Jl
The statement of Kearney's counsel
that he was unable to pay the fine of
$1,000 was not indorsed by Kearney
at the house of correction, nor is it in
accord with authentic reports con-
cerning the pecuniary profit that his
business of "agitating' has brought
him in. Before the late w. S. 0'Brien
died, acting entirely indepently of the
firm and being enraged at an attack
made on him by Kearney on the first
flush of the latter's prominence, he is
said to have dashed of a check of
$4,000 for Kearney, saying, Its
cheaper to buy the --- than bother
with him" Kearney received Sl5. .O0O
during the gubernatorial campaign
for Keeping White in the field
He received from $4,000 to $4,000
during the new constitution campaign
for his apathy during the last six
weeks before the election. In fact. as
near as can be estimated, his peculiar
profits are in the vicinity of 100000.
At the house Of correction, when
asked if he were able to pay his
81 900 fine, he answered evasively
AS no Imprisonment excepting the six
months which formed a part of his
sentence, and which began with his
incarceration yesterday. can be enforc-
ed until the fine is paid and, as the
collection of the amount must be by
civil process, the exact status ofKear-
ney as a capitalist becomes an interest
ing question. The certainty is, how
ever, that his profitable career during
the last three years will very we'll per-
init him six months rest and retire
ment As soon as the weather permits
resumption Of work on the road and
at the quarry, Kearney will be put to
work with the rest.

BY CABLE.

BERLIN, May 8.-The official Ca
zette publishes dispatch from Bis
marck to the Prussian representatives
to the federal states dealing with the
Altoona and st. PAUL. question. He
states that the commissioners of Cum
dezrath unanimously resolved to report
to the council only on one side of the
question, and to keep altogether out
of consideration the unconstitutional
aspect Of the case. He lays stress
on the necessity of avoiding, as far as
possible, for the sake Of concord, any
Interpretation Of the constitutional
rightsinvolved. Bismarckpoiuts outthe
indisputable right Of Prussia to divide
any portion Of her own territory from
Hamburg for a port district. The
proposed severance of st. P,ul has
not been urged in the interest of
Prussia as it is an advantage to
AltoDa that st. Paul should remain
outside Of Zalleverein but it was
rather in the interest of Hamburg
that the new custom line was propos-
ed. The Bundesrath can decide upon a
custom line without entering into
examination of the constitutional
bearing Of the question, which would
be likely to produce a conflict of
opinion. Those governments which
consider that if, by the severance of
st. Paul from the Hamburg district
the constitution Of the empire would
be violated, can vote against the pro-
posal; but in that case Bismarck would
not advise the emperor to renounce
his right to uphold tie demand which
is undoubtedly no infraction of the
constitution. Bismarck urges the ne
cessity of maintaining unimpaircd the
concord between the government and
expresses the hope that the respective
proposals of Prussia and Hamburg
may be settled by arrangement and
without resorting to division by ma
jorities and minorities. Prussia will
Willingly take into consideration any
proposal which is in its effect in
accordance with the constitution, pro-
vided the federal government make a
unanimous endeavor to oppose with
one accord the attempts of certain
members of the reichstag and to limit
the authority of the bundesrath.
Princess Pauline, of Wurttemberg,
has been married to DR.. Wilm, medi-
cal practitioner of Breslau. The king
Of Wurttemberg gave his assent on
the condition of the lady abandoning
her title.
ST. PETERSBURG, May S.-The
beetle which ravaged the crops of
Poltava and Ekatornineslay has been
found in large numbers in the state Of
Larval and the peasants fear their
spring crops may be injured.
The greatest alarm prevails in Tihin
in consequence of the discovery Of
locust eggs. Unless they are exter-
minated before development, famine
throughout the Oaucasies will be in
evitable.

An Ax-IrandIe From DaVy Crock
