He then made his escape and has not since been found. From evi dence taken before a coroner's jury yes terday, it seems that the Indians had been drinking heavily during tho evening, which caused the difficulty.

This understanding sufficient to warrant audience to the Temple, which literally packed every square inch of the auditorium, while the street in front was packed for nearly an entire block with a surging crowd.

Kalloch. workingmen's candidate for mayor, having been assailed by tlie Clirouide. ill, to-morrow evening, so he says, cnltv the speaker could proceed After adjournment, he made his ap pearance outside and was greeted with tremendous cheers. He addressed the crowd briefly, alluding to attacks upon him by tho Chronicle, and saying that their assault on the memory of his father was his justification. He applied to them an epithet in which was concentrated the wholo animus of the Sun's article. He said he had a copy of that article in his pocket cries of "read it, read it" J but did not wish to expend all his ammu nition at once. Tlie article would be re published immediately in the Open Let ter, and next Tuosday evening he would take it up and comment upon it. After a few general remarks he dismissed the audience, which quietly dispersed. It is quite likely that serious trouble may en sue before the matter at issue is brought to a conclusion. A Dastardly Deed. San Fbancisco. Aug. 23. About 10 o'clock this morning Charles DeYoung drove in a coupe to the side door of the Metropolitan Temple where Rev. I. S. Kalloch lias his study, and sent a messen ger to say that a man wished to see him. Kalloch went down not knowing who his visitor was. On his approach to the coupe DeYoung shot him through the door, inflicting ono wound in the breast and another in the thigh. Kalloch fell and DeYoung attempted to drive off. A crowd collected around the coupe and finally overturned it.but before DeYoung received ninch damage he was rescued by the police and taken to the city prison for safety. Intenso excitement prevails. Great crowds are gathered on the street. and runners are going about calling up on workingmen to assemble at 2 P. M. Kalloch was at first reported dead, but latest reports say he is still alive. Later Details. 4 P. M. Numberless reports are afloat as to the circumstances attendant upon the shooting of Kalloch, but the most di rect story is that Chas. DeYoung drove to the Metropolitan Temple alone in a coupe. At the time, Kalloch was about stepping into a carriage with Carl Browne. DeYoung sent an American district messenger boy to him to say that a gentleman wished to speak with him. As Kalloch approached the coupe, De Young firod, hitting him in the breast jnst above the heart. Kalloch staggered and turned to escape, when DeYoung fired again, hitting him in the hip or thigh. It would appear that trouble had been anticipated, as quite a number of workingmen were in tho vicinity of the Templo. They at once made a rush for the coupe seized the horses' beads and endeavored to get DeYoung out, ho keep ing them at bay for a moment with his pistol. In the mcantimo an officer ar rived on the scene. Tho crowd seized the coupe and overturned it, and as it went over DeYoung got out. He and the otlicer were attacked the officer knocked down aud trampled on. De Young was beaten about the head and face, though not very seriously. The officer, DeYoung and the driver of the coupe struggled through tho crowd amid cries of "hang him," "kill him." etc. At the corner of Fifth and Market streets two more officers made their appearance, ana wnn tueiy assistance ueioung was taken to the Baldwin Hotel, and, escaped by another entrance, got into a carriage and drove rapidly to the police station, the crowd following. DeYoung was at once taken to one of the tank cells, while a crowd numbering thousands surroun ded the prison and evinced a desire to make an attack. The chief of police at once called Gen. McComb in consulta tion, and Attorney-General Hamilton. who was present, telegraphed to Gov. Ir win for orders. No answer has vet been received, as the governor's exact where abouts is not known. Gen. McComb at once assumed the responsibility, and or dered the military to at once assemble at their armories, wfiere they now are await ing orders. ews of the tragedy spread like wild fire through the city, and the streets were Boon crowded with excited throngs. Strong guards were placed over the Chronicle business and printing offices to prevent them beinir sacked. M. H. DeYoung, who was at the Chronicle office at the time of the shooting, at once sought tlie city prison, where he is now in company with Charles. For some time it was uncertain what had been done with the brothers, many believing that they had been removed to Fort Alcatraz for greater safety, but they are still at the prison. The workingmen. at the re quest of a committee headed by Clitus Balbour, their candidate for congress. were allowed to select twelve men, who were sworn in as special officers, to stay sbout the prison and see that the De Youngs were not taken away. Pursuant to a call, the workingmen are now assem bling. It is announced that they will march in a body to prison, demand that the DeYoungs be surrendered to them. snd, if the demand is not complied with. will storm the prison and take them by j force. It is very doubtful, however, it such an attempt will be made, as the au- The procession on the way to the sand lots stopped at the workingmen's head quarters on Market street near Fifth iVl jicnmuuis are in session deliberating on the course to be pursued' Kearney entered the building and joined the ward presidents. The crowd gath ered around, blocking up the street The entrance was guarded hv with fixed bayonets, and no one is al lowed to pass without the countersign It was announced from the window that nothing would be done without due de liberation, but that vengeance would be taken. No reporters have been admit ted and the nature of the deliberations are unknown. In a few minutes tlie marcuiorine sand lota was resumed. The LatestAll Quiet. San Fbancisco, Aug. 23. 1 A. M -Everything is perfectly quiet through out the city, and there is not the slighest reason to apprehend any disturbance during the remainder of the night. The crowd in the vicinity of the Metropoli tan Temple have departed except a dozen loiterers, the police and workingmen's guurus. Kalloch's Condition. At midnight Kalloch was sleeping and had been for several hours. No one is admitted but reporters. His condition is very favorable.
