KALLOCH IS NO MORE. Death in Washington Territory of a Noted Character. In tlie death at Whatcom, W. T., of the Rev. Isaac S. Kallocli, one who had led a career full of startling sensations has passed away. The bloody drama in which he was one of tho i principals in the stormy days of sand-lot domi- | nation in San Francisco brought him into j special prominence; but from boyhood he has j furnished sensation after sensation, and it | was only within the last half-dozen years that he was in n measure lost to public view. He ts best remembered in connection with the terrible scandal when lie was pastor of the Tremont Temple, Cotton, over a quarte of a century ago. Kallocli was elected Mayor of San Francisco on tbo workingmen's ticket iu | 1879. During the campeigu be was shot by 1 Charles De Young, at that time editor of the Chrouir.lt, the dispute growing out of a number of personal attacks made by both parties. The Chronicle printed the details of Kalloch's life in Cotton and Kansas, and Kallocli was equally bitter in his attacks on the Do Youngs, nssailiug their mother in the vilest language, in April, 1890, Kalloch'a son went to the Chronicle office and shot Do Young dead, and was afterward acquitted of the charge of murder. At the close of his term as Mayor Kalloch removed to Washington Territory ' where he had sinco resided. Hunters Kill One Another.

H. Guinter, also a hunter, frqm Wyandotte, Kan. After the discharge of his gun Requa rushed forward, and Guinter, who was still a'.iva, though fatally wounded, fired upon him, killing him instantly. The Fisheries. The belief prevails at Washington that the Fisheries Commission will not attempt to formulate a general treaty, and that they will try only to reach an agreement on a protocol defining anew the meaning of certain clanses of the treaty of 1818. Sir Charles Tupper, Canada’s representative on tho Commission, passed through Chicago on Monday on his way to YY.nuipag. Ho would say nothing as to what had been done at the conference, but he seems to think that the Commissioners are in a fair way to arnvo at a satisfactory result. A Big Chicago Fire.
