unwonted prudence Kearney overruled them. warn

STATE SIEGE.
The employees OF the Chronicle have placed the cs-
tablishment In state of defence and feel confident
that they can defend the building from any attack
Tho military and police are still under arms
This afternoon Kearney assembled his hordcs at
the sand lots and q stormy meeting ensued. The
various ward presidents decided to demand of the
Mayor that he suppress the Chronic but that paper
will be issued without interruption.
The latest this afternoon is to tho effect that
Kaloch is resting easily and will probably recover

horror OF DE Young's net is still very great. The

But to go back TO the point at which the de-
spatches OF early this morning broke of. After

several prominent workingmen. counseiling prudent
action Kearncy arriving Immediately ascendod
the stand and began addressing the audience, which
covered the entire space between the rostrum and
Market street. Probably not less than twenty
thousand persons were present The vindictive
feeling which prevailed during the day had appar
emily in nowisc diminished. and at word from Kear-
ney the whole body would have poured down town
without hesitation to wreak their vengeance on the De
Youngs. Kearney realized the situation and ad-
dressed himself TO the task Of quieting the passions
of his followers. He reminded them that In ten days
tho election would put the whole machinery of the
city government in their hands, and that without fail
the pgopristors u the creRiss would than meet their
