record in Boston and Kansas Last
night, before ,an immense audience,
Kalloch replied with an equally bitter
assault, in the course of which he ap-
piled the most obscene epithet to the
DeYoung Brothers, proprietors of the
Chronicle This morning Charles De
Young drove in a coupe to the side en-
trance of the Metropolitan temple and
sent messenger to tell Kalloch that
someone wished to see him. As Kali
loch came to the coupe DeYoung shot
him twice, once in the breast and once
in the thigh. Kalloch fell; IL crowd
gathered and DeYoung's carriage was
upset, but the police rescued him and
took him to the station house. Intense
excitement prevails, and the streets are
filed with crowds of men, and serious
trouble is feared. Kalloch is reported
to have since died.
A meeting of the workingmen at the
Sand Lots is called for 2 O'Clock this
afternoon by runners who are going all
over town.
San Francisco. Aug. 23.-Last night
Rev. j. s. Kalloch defended himself
before an immense audience against
charges of thirty years standing, of
immortality. preferred against him by
the Chronicle. He said these charges
were revived by Charles and Mike
DeYoung, t,co bastard sons of a prosti-
t,ae. This morning Charles DeYoung
drove in covered coupe to the front
of the private entrance of the Metro
politan temple, where Kalloch has q
study room, and sent a message boy
asking him to come out. Kalloch i'm
mediately appeared on the sidewalk,
when DeYoung shot him in the breast.
Kalloch turned to.retreat indoors when
DeYoung shot him again in the back.
1t is believed that Kalloch is dead.
A crowd Immediately seized the car
riage in which DeY Young was, turned
it over and pulled him out. He was
dreadfully kicked and bruised, and
would no doubt have been killed on the
spot had not an unusual number Of
policemen come suddenly to the rescue,
and hurried him to jail
The city is intensely excited, the
police did not think DeYoung safe
in jail, and had made arrangements
to hurry him to Fort Alcatraz, when the
intention became known to the people.
Atpresent the spirit of the multitude is
aroused to prevent any removal of
DeYoung from the Jail. There was
never time when San Francisco was
more angry.
At 6:30 O'Clock p. M, Kalloch is in
a much improved condition. A slight
examination has been made, and the
physicians express an opinion that
there are good grounds for expecting his
recovery.
The evening journals counsel, above
all things, moderation on the part of
the workingmen for the credit Of the
city, and also for their own sake, on
account of the bearings of their action
Oh the result of the present campaign.
So far as can at present be learned
the feeling of the community is almost
entirely with Kalloch. DeYoung's ac-
tion is universally branded as a cold
blooded assassination, and the belief is
general that If the workingmen, in
the event of Kalloch's death, demand
the surrender of DeYoung for lynch
justice, that, outside of the lawfully,
constituted authorities, not hand
would be raised to prevent the consum-
nation of their desires.
1t is rather early yet to speculate on
the effect of the occurrence upon polit-
ical affairs, but this much is evident
from the expressions heard on every
side, that whatever the result of Kali
locks wound may be, the affair win
prove death blow to the course Of the
honorable bilks in this city. If Kali
loch RECEIVERS he is likely to receive a
vote much greater than would have
been given him had nothing Of the kind
occurred. If he dies the detection

greater; but in that case the republic
cans viii probably profit to some extent.
1t is difficult to say what the effect in
the interior will be, but it can hardly
fail to be disastrous to the H. BIS.
The Chronicle has been the head and
front of that organization. 1t called
the party into being, organized it, and
has championed it in and out of season,
and it can hardly be otherwise than
that the elimination Of the bitter polit-
ical war it has waged. The assassina-
tion of Kalloch will result in great
damage to the prospects Of the party
throughout the state. Such advices as
have been received from the interior
show the existence of degree of indig-
nation second only to that evinced in
the city. At the workingmen's head
quarters they are in constant receipt OF
offers from interior towns of men and
arms to assist in executing vengeance
on DeYoung.

that U. S. troops may be required to
