THE KALLOCH SHOOTING.
No Further Disturbances Appre-
hended.
KALLoCH LIKELY TO RECOVER.

New YORK, Aug. 25.-San Francisco dis
patches say that Kearney's address at the
sand lots on Saturday night is one of the few
really shrewd things he has done. He hates
the De Youngs and would like to see them
hang, but decided to defer the vengeance for
which he longs in the hope that the working
men will carry the approaching city election
and be placed in full control. His power over
his followers is tremendous. He had not
spoken ten minutes before all idea of attacking
the Jail was abandoned by the Infatuated mob.
Gen. McComb, who is in charge of the mill
tia is also editor of the Alta Californian.
Surgeons state that Kalloch shows the
vitality of grizzly bear. He was shot with
walked back into the Temple. He has thus
far shown remarkable strength and has not
been unconscious at all. Mrs. Kalloch and his
son, who is a preacher in Sonoma county, are
with him. The worklngmen were carried
away with the speech Kallochs son made to
them, and proposes to nominate him for
mayor if his father dies.
Chicago Workingmen Denounce the
Shooting.
CHICAGO Aug. 25.-The workingmens pic
mic on Sunday was fairly attended Speeches
were made and resolutions adopted denouncing
Charles De Young for ehooting Kalloch.
SAN Francisco. Aug. %. = Considerable
prominence was givon to the shootingof Kali
loch, in the city pulpits yesterday. W. e.
LANES of the Green st. Congregational
Church treated it at length. His general con-
illusions were that Kallock whatever Sis faults
mighc be, was man of generous impulses,
that the attack upon him was cruel and coward
ly, and that the Chronicle has hourished in the
city is evidence of low, stage Of civilization.
Rev. Horatio Stebbins of the First Unitarian
Church promulgated the idea that the society
was diSgraced by want OF dignity OF mind
and strength of heart on those who heaped
abuse on each other until truth of it gets be-
yond endurance, when one retalliates with the
assassin's hand for what he could not bear in
the same kind he had given.
Rev. M. G. Briggs of the Howard Street
Methodist Episcopal Church said De Youngs
deed showed an underlying current of i'm
morality in society much to be deprecated.
Kallech and De Young were not the represent
tatives of parties or principles, and the quarrel
was purely personal
From various points in the interior come ex-
pressons of private and public opinion con-
demning the De Youngs for the course pur-
sued by the Chronicle and the subsequent at
tack on Kalloch. Similar reports come from
Oregon and Nevada
The Call this morning compliments the work.
ingmen for their moderate action and Kearney
for his prudent course. The Alta further con-
siders the tragedy and emphasizes its previous
condemnation of De Young The Chronicle
claims that its articles against Kalloch was
published from sense of duty and repeats in
substance the ideas conveyed in yesterdays
article.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 25---( afternoon y
Leaders of the workingmen's party held
conference with Kalloch's medical attendants
today to consider the expediency OF putting
up another man for mayor. The physicians
say there is nothing in the condition of Kali
loch to render such a course necessary, and
intimated o probability of early recovery. De
Young was brought before the court and
waived examination and was held to answer a
charge of assault and murder without bail.
The excitement the past few days has toned
down to interest in the result of Kalloch's
wound, and the universal inquiry on the street
is as to his condition. This afternoon there.
was decided change for the better, as a result
of which his physicians express the opinion
that there is strong probability of recovery.
Notwithstanding these favorable symptoms,
there is still good deal of talk among the
workingmen as to the course to be pursued in
the event of a fatal termination. Among the
rank and file a strong desire manifested to put
up Kearney for mayor should change become
necessary, but the desire is shared neither by
the agitator nor his friends and it may be con-
sidered certain that nothing of the kind will
be DONE at the police station vigilance has
relaxed during the day, and only few officers
are ON duty and also few militiamen. Work
ingmen's specials, sworn in for the purpose of
making sure that De Young shall not be
spirited away, still remain on duty.
A crowd fingered around the Metropolitan
Temple all day, but otherwise there has been
no street assemblages except around the bull
Ietin boards.
Great interest has been manifested to obtain
the statement of the American district boy
the time of the shooting, but difficulty was
experienced in finding him, as his name was
at first KEPT secret. He was at last unearthed.
1t seems De Young told him to tell Kalloch a
lady wanted to see him. and shot at Kaloch
from the coupe before the latter saw him.
