nese, little do our citizens dream of the means of defense taken by the Mongolians to thwart the scheme of the white people.
 Promptly at s o'clock last evening q throng of Chinamen' might have been seen vending their way towards
 a well-known Allen street Chinese laundy, which is the recognized place
 for the transaction of all Chinese affairs.
 A representative of THE DAILY TOMBSTONE disguising his vocation
 and by many false approximations
 pretending to be an attorney and vol
 untarily offering his services-was
 confidentially ushered into the opium scented room.
 About forty of the elite sons of the
 Flowery Kingdom were assembled in the very incommodiouos apartment in
 response to a call from the agent of
 the Six Companies-the trusted coun-
 selor of the Chinese-to take action against the movement of the whites to cause them 10 leave the city.
 Mir. An Tong Yuen, an almond
 eyed celestial possessed of delicate
 features and very loud voice called
 the meeting to order. After stating
 the object of the meeting and care
 fully advising his friends SIS to the
 necessity for speedy action Tn this
 matter he stated that he had firmly
 believed when the Chinese settled in
 Arizona that they had found land
 where peace prevailed and they could
 make money unmolested. We have
 left California far behind and come
 to the land uf the Indian, feeling we
 would be far more safe than in the
 State where the Irishmen rule Su- preme. He then referred to the re-
 porter as Chinese attorney Of great ability in whom the most implicit confidence could be placed; also that
 it would be good idea to transact all
 business in English.
 Mir. Wun Lung, very old-timer, arose and begged leave to inquire who the leaders of the Anti-Chinese Club were? [CrieE, Burke! Burke! the poll-tax collector! Him Ilishmanl The speaker sad ho thought THE DAILY TOMBSTONE sprung the ques-
 tiun and worked the Irishmen into a fever heat. He also had q great
 many other people spotted who had since joined in.
 MT. An Fat asked what had caused this sudden movent on the part of the l whites? Had the Chinese not been a , benefit to the city? Was not fine ! business and resident block of China town q credit to any city? Did they 0 not pay an exorbitant tax upon this property and comply with all the re- : ouirements of American law? Had }, not they endeavored to increase the : population of the city by soiicitTng i the immigration of their brethren? n Had they not resolved to Americaplze by good intentions to marry into the + white race? Were they not the most ,- prominent and blooded gamblers in y Tombstone, and was not all their 0 business transactions of the most J. legitimate nature? At first, this action t on the part of the whites had grieved d him, but now he was firm ill his re f solve to antogonize every movement l. of the whites and, if necessary, resort
 to violent methods. Let us sho" these people what kind of material
 the Chinese are composed of. My fellow countrymen, defend your rights J. even though your life's blood pays the n penalty! Tremendous applause.] n At this juncture Old Sing HoT 'r raised majestically up out of the d audience amid thunder of applause T. He said the Chinese would not gC Il away from Tombstone as long as ont e spark of life was left in their bodies IL [Applausel. We have as much righ
 to live here as anybody. ConfuciuI F tells us we have the right to exist ol
