THE DE YOUNG TRAGEDY.

A Sister Of De Young Threatens to
Shoot Kalloch.
New YORK, March pa San Francisco
dispatch says that there have been whisperings
for months that a sister of De Young will
avenge her brothers death by Kalloch. The
end is not yet.
Comments of the Press on the Verdict.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 25.-The Chronicle
treats the verdict in the Kalloch case briefly,
saying the jury preferred the testimony Of
perjured and characterless witnesses to that of
reputable citizens, and that the verdict is a
blot on the fair fame of California.
The Call considers the verdict rendered on
general principles, the jury permitting occur
rences previous to the shooting of De Young
to influence its decision, and that the methods
and character of the journalism which caused
SO much scandal in the city were condemned
when Kalloch was acquitted.
The Alta forbears from present comment on
the verdict, but deprecates the street scenes
following the acquittal, and hopes the whole
affair will be relegated to death.
The Post Examiner is silent ON the subject.
The Bulletin tacitly assumes that the YER
dict was not in accordance with the evidence,
and that ameliorating circumstances should
have been made the ground for executive
clemency rather than acquittal.
The Post considers the verdict contrary to
the prepoDderance of trustworthy evidence
denies that the question of personal journalism
figured in the case, denounces the demonstra-
ton following the acquittal, and holds the re-
suit to be an assault upon the foundation of
social order.

Commodore Shufeldr>to Reorganize and
Command It.
WASHINGTON, March 25.-Commodore R.
W. Shufeldt, U. S. N, will shortly be detach-
ed from duty in this city, and ordered to duty
in this city, and ordered to duty as naval at
tache to the u S. Legation at Pekin. This
action will be taken for the purpose of allow
ing Commodore Shufeldt to accept the com
mand of the Chinese navy During Com
modore Shufeldt's cruise around the world.
Laon Chang, Viceroy of China, offered him
the command of the Chinese navy, that
government being DESTROYS of organizing its
navy on modern principles. Being ON govern
ment duty the Commodore was unable to ac-
cept the offer at that time Upon returning
to this country he decided to accept the posi-
ton. The Commodore expects to leave Wash
ington in time to reach San Francisco on May
10th, to take the steamer which leaves for
Toxic on that day.
The state department denies that Shufeldt
has been sent on a special mission to China for
the purpose of organizing the Chinese navy
but says as it seemed possible that circum-
stances might make it desirable to renew the
effort to open commercial relations with Corea
which recently visited it was deemed advisa-
BILE to attach him to our legation at Pekin.

The success of The Detroit Evening
News has been most wonderful. Prior to
its establishment no Detroit daily had ever
had regular issue OF over 5000 copies.
The founder OF The News hoped to gain
10000 subscribers, but deemed IL would be
work OF some years. Notwithstanding,
the paper closed its first year with cir
culation of 10000. At three years IL had
reached 1900, and 10000 was then put at
the limit of possibilities. But 10000 was
reached and passed in the fall OF 1878, since
which period the growth has been steady
and constant, until to-day it exceeds $4,000
copies per day-a circulation surpassed by
but few daily newspapers In the Uulted
States. And all this has been won by sheer
merit alone.
