SAN FRASCIsCo, August 25.-Every-
thing was perfectly quiet throughout
the night, and this morning the people
are going about their business as usual,
and there is no appearance OF any eS-
citement. Kalloch passed a comfort
able night, and this morning his condi-
ton is much improved,


What the Preachers Say About 1t.


SAN FRANCISCO, August 25.-Consid-
erable prominence was given to the
shooting OF Kalloch in the city pulpits
Yesterday. w. f. flames, of the Green
street Congregational church, treated it
at length. His general conclusions were
that Kalloch, whatever his faults might
be, was man OF generous impulses,
that the attack on him was cruel and
cowardly, and that the Chronicle has
flourished in the city is evidence OF a
low stage OF civilization.


Rev. HOratio Stibbens, OF the First
Unitarian church, formulated the idea
that society was disgraced by the want
of dignity of mind and strength OF heart
on the part OF both the preacher and the
publisher, who heaped abuse on each
other till the truth OF it gets beyond en-
durance, when one retaliates with the
assassIn's hand for what he could not
bear in the same kind he has given.


Rev. McBriggs, of the Howard street
Methodist Episcopal Church, said that
DeYoungs deed showed an underlying
current of morality in society much to
be deprecated. KallOch and DeIOung
were not representatives OF parties or
principles, and the quarrel was purely
personal.


From various points in the interior
come expressions OF the press and pub
lie opinion cOndemning the De1oungs
for the course pursued by the Chronicle
and the subsequent attack on kallOch.
Similar reports come from Oregon and
Nevada.


The call this morning compliments the
wOrkingmen for moderation, and kear-
ney for his prudent course.


The Chronicle claims that its articles

a sense of duty, and says that if the
election results in the wOrkingmen's
success, there Will be no peace but such
as is agreeable to the mob who mean
nothing less than revolution.


Everything is perfectly quiet through
out the city, and there is not the slight
est reason to apprehend any disturb
ance during the balance OF the night.
The crowd in the vicinity OF the Metro
politan Temple has all departed, except
a few late loiterers, the police and the
wOrkingmen's guards. At midnight
last night Kalloch was sleeping and had
been for several hours. No one was adj
mitted, but his condition was reported
very favorable. One OF the police on
duty stated that about half-past seven
he got an opportunity to look through
the window. He was deathly sick, sit
ting up in the bed with pillows beside
him. He is not aware OF his critical
condition.


Kalloch's Condition Favorable.


SAN Francisco, August 25.-The lead
ers of the Workingmen's party held a
conference with kallOch's medical at
tendants to-day to consider the eXpedi-
ency of putting up some other man for
Mayor. The physicians informed them
that they saw nothing in the condition
OF Kalloch to render this course neces-
sary, intimating the probability OF his
early recovery.


Chas. DeYoung was brought before
the police court to-day, and waiving an
examination was held to answer the
charge OF assault to murder, without
bail.


SAN FRANCIsCo, August 25.-Physi-
clans express the opinion that there is
strong probability OF KallOch' S recovery.
Notwithstanding the favorable symp-
toms there is still 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
strong desire visible to put up kearney
for Mayor should a change become
necessary, but the desire is shared
neither by the agitatOr nor his friends,
and il NAV be considered certain that
nothing OF the kind will be done. At
the police station vigilance has been re-
laxed during the day, and only few
officers are on duty and few mill
tia men. The wOrkingmens 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 Metropolitan Temple all day,
but otherwise there has been no street
assemblages except around the bulletin
boards.


The Telegraph Boy Interviewed,


SAN Francisco, August 25.-The
American District Telegraph boy who
was with De Young at the time he shot
Kalloch, was run down by BItgtiR
reporter this afternoon. He states that
De Young called at the coupe office for
him and that together they drove to
23l4 Nineteenth street, and De Young
instructed him to ask Mr.. KallOch to
come out as a lady in coupe wanted to
see him. Kalloch was not at home and
after making inquiries rs 10 his office
hours they drove from his house TO the
Temple, and De Young peeping through
a curtain Of the rear window OF the
coupe called the boys attention to
a gentleman in a white ulster who was
getting into buggy with friend, as
being Kalloch. The boy then told him
a lady wished to see him, and he at once
came to the coupe, although cautiously,
as though expecting something wrong.
When he reached the coupe the shot
was fired, which frightened the boy so
that he ran as fast as he could back to
the office. DeGoung was cool during
