NJ. II. De Young of san Francisco WAS

the youngest son of Claus Sprcckels. 1t
was almost Il repetition of the occurrence
OF four years ago, when Charles De Young
was assassnated by young kaIiocll, hap

the san Francisco tHrOHiciC. Oi which Mr..

De Young went into his Office from the
street II little after } o'clock, and when
about To step behind the counter some one
he was confronted by Adolph Sprcck-
els. In the young mans right
hand was cooked revolver, and when
Delouug turned he raised Il and fired
three or tour times. Two of the shots
took effect, one in DelOung's lett shuul-
der and the second about six inches lower
in the left arm DeGoung had no chance
to return the fire or defend himself, but
Mr.. Emerson, a clerk, drew a revolver
from his drawer and fired at SprCCkclS. y
number of other employees rushed ont
from behind their desks and grabbed the
WOuld-bc assassin around the neck, pre-
venting him from doing further harm. At
the same time, Il police officer came IN ANA
made the young man ana MI Emerson
prisoners. they were taken To police

MR., HENDRICKS IN A HUFF.

Assert, his Independence
of Action.

New YORK. Nov. 2I-Thc Mail and EX-
press says it is reported that MIR Thomas
\. Hendricks returned to the city from
Albany in Il decided huff yesterday The
meeting between the President and Vice
Prcodent-clcct was said to have resulted,
if not in an open rupture, at least i'm a very
decided coldncss. Thercare several stories
current concerning the trouble The first
is that the President-elect had asked Gov.
Hendricks for his views on the question of
the Cabinet and party policy and that
Hendricks assumed such an air of dicta-
tiUn that Cleveland at once Informed him
that he was OVersteppng bounds. AnOth
or story is to the effect that without being
asked at all Hendricks proceeded to say
what the party expected of the new Presi-
dent, repeating in substance the views re
Gently expressed in his Brooklyn speech,
and that Cleveland at once informed him
that such a policy did not at all
meet his appreciation that he must be
| let alone to make his Cabinet and settle
! his own policy. At this Hendricks is said
| to have taken umbragc and hutcd that as
| between Cleveland's idea and IIcndrcks's
idea the Democratic party would be found
to be with the Indiana plan rather than
! the New York one. This ended the inter
! view and Hendricks is said to have with
! DRAWN leaving matters in this somewhat
/ -iHkF condition. Hendricks is said by
one Democrat, acquainted with the facts
to have entertained some of his callers in
| the Fifth Avenue hotel yesterday with Il
good deal Of sarcasm concerning the head
of the ticket "thc more the Indiana
statesman Thought OF the matter the more
iuccu.cd he seemed to br.' The Demo
