The Chronicle this morning has the fol-

| of the Evening Post end NJ. II. De Young,
| published in that journal last evening. which
| represents Mr.. De Young As saying he was
! of the opinion that Mr.. Skimmins. editor of a
Kansas journal, WAS the person who put in
circulation the pamphlets containing q STEM
ographic account of the trial Of l. s. kal-
loch. on the charge of adultery In Boston in
81. Mr.. De Young desires to state that this
paragraph is founded on some misspprehen-
sion on the part of the reporter, as he never
made any such statement to him or anybody
else.
SAN FRANcIsoo, April %. The dispatches
already filed seem to have pretty well ex-
hausted the facts in connection with the De
Young kalloch affair. Nothing has been
learned 10 throw anv further light on the
subject of the tragedy. which is the theme of
universal comment. The general expression
seems TO be that such u result might have
been expected at am time during a number
hasf tn N hA nal
gressive course that has always been char
acteristic of the Chronicle. The citizens de-
plure such recourse 10 violent means of
redress and believe that the provocation in
this case was altogether inadequate, more
particularly as Mayor Kalloch. who was the
object of the Chronicles assault, is amply
capable of fighting his own battles but there
is not noticeable any marked expression of
grief or indignation, except on the part of
personal friends of the deceased
The funeral of Charles De Young took
place this afternoon, from the residence of
his mother, under auspices of the Yerba
Buena Lodge. l. q. o. f., of which deceased
was member. Several thousand persons
gathered in and around the house, many Of
whom after sevices avaied themselves of the
opportunity to take last look at the features
of deceased. The Odd Fellows were largely

After services at the house a procession was
formed, the Odd Fellows leading, followed by
long line of carriages containing mourners,
friends employees of the Chronicle and
others. and proceeded to Odd Fellows Gene

New YORK. April 24-2.l5 =. NJ. Not
word has been received over the wires of the
Western Union Telegraph Co. up to this
hour from San Francisco.
A despatch printed in the Commercial Ad-
vertser. alleged to be from San Francisco to-
day. says that young Kalloch, who killed De
Young, had been on debauch for some days,
and had made frequent threats of his inten-
ton to "fx De Young" but no attention
was paid to him, as it was simply regarded rs
the vaporing of a drunken man. DE Young
always went armed, possessed undoubted
courage. and was unusually quick in his
movements His friends were not alarmed for
his safety. One OF the causes of the shoot
ing was the recent circulation of a pamphlet
entitled ''the only full report of the trial of
I. s. kalloch, on the charges of adultery"
This pamphlet contained a portrait Of Mayor
Kalloch and the woman with whom he was
said to be intimate. and pretended to give "a
history of the affair, doings of the church,
Kalloch's pulpit experience, arrest, arraign-
mcnt, trial, and result"
Its imprint was 'sBoston, Ederhen & Co,
1851" but it was generally regarded that its
temperance was due to De Young, who was
known to have gone east some time ago to
hunt up the facts in the career of kalloch.
The pamphlet was extensively circulated and
the party were wrought to quite a state of des-
peration. The despatch says: DE Young
continued his vigorous assaults on kallOch,
and as the time for his trial for the shooting
of the mayor drew near, he became more az
gressive, and Kalloch's friends became cor
respondingly exasperated. No doubt the
young man was egged on more or less by the
desperate characters who recently had such
set-backs in the arrest Of Kearney and the
talk of impeaching the mayor, so that they
took advantage of his Boosting and condition
to put him up to the decd. The working
men make no effort to disguise their feelings
over the result, and are gathered in groups
this morning earnestly discussing the situa-
ton.
DE Youngs mother is quite Frustrated by
the shock of her sons murder. That the end
is not yet is generally believed. De Young's
brothers are quite as courageous as he was,
and more blood will be split before the end.
The Evening Telegrams San Francisco
special says: The shooting of Chas. De
Young by young Kalloch, last night created
such an excitement in this city as has never
been equalled before, even at the most
stormy period of our history 1t exceeds in
violence the storm of public passion and agi-
tation that succeeded the shooting Of Mayor
Kalloch by De Young in August last, and it
has increased to-day to such an extent that
no one can fortell what the ultimate conse.
quences will be. The feeling against the
party of which Kalloch and Kearney are
leaders. has been growing stronger of late,
and this assassination has infatuated the peo-
pie so that the Mayors life is not considered
safe from public vengeance. Threats are
freely expressed against him and the entire
sand lot party. On the other hand, there are
many who consider DE Young's fate but a
fitting close to his career, and that no fur
ther significance should be attached to it
than to an ordinary murder in which one
desperate kills another. Young kalloch is
in prison. closely guarded.
