San Francisco, August 25.-Everything
was perfectly quiet throughout the night,
and this morning the people are going
about their business. Kalloch passed a
comfortable night and this morning his
condition was much improved.
PULPIT OPINIONS ON THE AFFAIR.
Considerable prominence was given to
the shooting of Kalloch in the city pulpits
yesterday. W. Z. flames, Of the Green
Street Congregational Church, treated on
1t at length. His general conclusions were
that Kalloch, whatever his faults might
be, was a man Of generous impulses; that
the attack on him was cruel and cowardly,
and the fact that the Chronicle has flourish.
ed in the city is evidence Of the low stage
OF civilization.
Rev. Horatio Stibbens, OF the First Uni

society was disgraced by the want OF dig

showed an underlying current Of morality
in society, such as to be deprecated. Kali
loch and DeYoung are not representatives
Of parties or principles, and the quarrel
was purely personal. From various points
in the interior came expressions Of the
press and public opinion condemning the
DeYoungs for the course pursued by the
Chronicle, and the subsequent attack on
kalloCh. Similar reports come from Ore.
gon and Nevada.
The Call this morning compliments the
workingmen for their moderation, and
Kearney for his prudent course.
The Chronicle claims that It's articles
against KalloCh were published from a
sense OF duty, and says If the election re-
suits in the Workingmen's success, there
will be no peace but such as is agreeable to
a moi. who mean nothing less than revo.

The leaders OF the Workingmen's party
held conference with Kalloch's medical
attendants to-day to consider the exped.
iency OF putting up some other man for
Mayor. The physicians informed them
that they saw nothing in the condition OF
kalloCh to render such course necessary,
intimating the probability Of his early re.
covery.
Charles DeYoung was brought before
the police court to-day, and waiving EXAM

THE LATEST.
SAN Francisco, August 25.-PhysiCians
express the opinion that there is strong
of Kalloch's recovery. Not
withstanding the favorable symptoms,
there is a good deal OF talk among the
workingmen as to the course to be pursued
in the event OF his death. Among the
rank and file there is a strong desire visi-
BILE to put Kearney up for Mayor should
change become necessary, but the desire
Is shared neither by the agitator nor his |
friends, and it may be considered certain
that nothing Of the kind will be done.
At the police station, vigilance has been
relaxed during the day and only few off. |
GERS and militiamen are on duty. The
workingmen's specials, sworn in for the
purpose Of making sure that DeYoung is
not spirited away, still remain on duty. |
A crowd has fingered around the Metro.
politan Temple all day, but otherwise there
has been no street assemblages, except |
around the bulletin boards.
HOW THE SHOOTING WAS DONE.
The American District Telegraph boy
who was with DeYoung Mt the time he
shot Kalloch, was run down by a Bulletin
reporter this afternoon. He says that De-
Young called in coupe at the Office for
him, and that together they drove to 2Sl4
Nineteenth street, and DeYoung instruct |
ed him to ask Mr.. KalloCh to come out as |
q lady in the coupe wanted 10 sec him.
Kalloch was not at home and after max
ing inquiries as to his Office hours they
drove from his house to the Temple, and
DeYoung peeping through curtain OF the
rear window otthe coupe, called the boys |
to the gent in the white ulster
who was getting into a buggy with friend
as being Kalloch. The boy. then told him
a lady wished to sec him and he at once
came to the coupe, although cautiously as
though expecting something wrong.
When he reached the coupe a shot was
fired, which frightened the boy SO that he
ran as fast as he could back to the Office.
DeYoung was cool during the ride and
gave no indication Of his intention to do
