ton, and Attorney General Hamilton
who was present, telegraphed to Gov. Ir-
win for orders. No answer has vet been
received, as the governors exact where.
abouts is not known Gen. McComb at
once assumed the responsibility. and or
dered the military to at once assemble at
their armories, where they now are await
ing orders.
News OF the tragedy spread like wild
fire through the city, and the streets
were soon crowded with excited thronos.
Strong guards were placed over the
Chronicle business and printing offices
to prevent them being sacked. NJ. II.
DeYoung, who was at the Chronicle Office
at the time of the shooting, at once
sought the city prison, where he is now
in company with Charles. For some
time it was uncertain what had been done
with the brothers, many believing that
they had been removed to Fort Alcatraz
for greater safety, but they are still at
the prison. The workingmen, at the re-
quest of a committee headed by Clitus
Balbour, their candidate for congress,
were allowed to select twelve men, who
were sworn in as special officers, to stay
about the prison and see that the De-
foungs were not taken away. Pursuant
to call, the workingmen are now assem-
bling. 1t is announced that they will
march in body to prison, demand that
the DeYoungs be surrendered to them,
and, if the demand is not complied with,
Will storm the prison and take them by
force. It is very doubtful, however, if
such an attempt will be made, as the au-
thorities have made ample preparation,
and the building will be strongly defen-
ded.
At latest accounts Kalloch was some
what easier. One of his physicians in
attendance addressed the crowd, saying
that there was a probability of his recov-
cry. On the contrary another of his
medical attendants stated privately that
he could not possibly live through to-
morrow. Kalloch's family are at present
out of the city. Kearney has been sent
for and will arrive in the city late this
afternoon Great fears are entertained
for the peace of the city during the COM
ing night, and every preparation is being
made to suppress violence. Public SEN
timent seems mainly to run against De-
Young, partly on account of the manner
of his attack, giving his victim no chance
for defense or escape, and partly because
the Chronicle in its assault upon Kalloch
has been abusive beyond all precedent
in political campaigns.
Arrival OF Kearney.
SAN Francisco, Aug. 23.-10 P. NJ. =
Kearney arrived on the Vallejo boat this
evening, and at the wharf was met by
crowd of several thousand, who received
their leader with almost frantic exhibi-
tions of joy. Three of the working
mems military companies, numbering
100 men, with rifles and fixed bayonets,
were on hand as escort. With Kearney
at its head, the procession moved mp
Market street for the sand lots, filling
the street for several blocks and making
the air ring with cheers for Kearney and
cries of chang the DeYoungs"
The procession on the way to the sand
lots stopped at the workingmen's head
quarters ON Market street near Fifth,
where the ward presidents are in session,
deliberating ON the course to be pursued.
Kearney entered the building and Joined
the ward presidents. The crowd gath
cred around, blocking up the street.
The entrance was guarded by sentinels
with fixed bayonets, and no enc is al
lowed to pass without the countersign.
1t was announced from the window that
nothing would be done without due de-
liberation, but that vengeance would be
taken. No reporters have been admit
ted and the nature of the deliberations
are unknown. In a few minutes the
march for the sand lots was resumed.
The Latest--AIl Quiet
SAN FRANcIsco, Aug. 23.-1 A. M
Everything is perfectly quiet through
out the city, and there is not the slightest
reason to apprehend any disturbance
during the remainder of the night The
crowd in the vicinity of the Metropoli-
tan Temple have departed except dozen
loiterers, the police and workingmen's
guards.
xalloch's Condition
At midnight Kalloch was sleeping and
had been for several hours. No one is
admitted but reporters. His condition
is very favorable. One of the police on
duty stated that about 7:30 he got an OPP
portunity to look through the window
and saw Kalloch sitting up in bed with
a pillow behind him. He professed to
believe that reports of his critical con-
dition were greatly exaggerated.
