and at the END OF the room
on sort of throne, sat fat Yet-Hi-
Tien. That was all the visitor saw, for
half dozen Cinnamon sprang towards
him, and 1t took but q minute TO with
draw TO the safe vantage ground Of the
street. From various sources it has been
shown that the same practices in holding
court at No. Is are pursued
as in San Francisco. The
the court attendants are all OF the
prIestly rank and are entitled to wear
long robes of blue. The defendant is
never allowed TO see who his accusers or
the witnesses are, but is required to wear
mask. He has nothing to say until all
the testimony is in, and then he may give
his version OF the story. If ne has any
witnesses he may give their names and
they may be seen privately by the high
binders, but usually the sentence is de-
clded upon in advance and is always car
ried out. The Highbinders are known by
the stif-brimmed black felt hats they
wear. They are the Chinese loafers one
sees standing in the dOOrways with their
hats drawn down over their eyes, their
hands in their pockets and cheap cigars
in their mouths.
1t is an unpleasantly interesting ex-
perience 10 walk through "ChinatOwn"
on Jour OF investigation. Ilere are TO
be seen not only the evidences of squalOr
and meagre living but various forms Of
gambling, idolatrv and mummery. The
"JOss house" is an institution among
them. In one of the miserable dens IN
the rear of IA and 16 Mott street lives a
wretched rag-picker named An Yet. lie
pays no rent. but apprOprates a hole un-
der the house, which was previously used
as coal cellar. The place is little more
than feet square, and here in the midst
of his dirty piles of rags this miserable
creature continues to exist. His only fur
niture is an old packing box, used as a
table, and few cooking utensils. His
cook stove is the same as usually used by
tmpecuniOus Chinamen-a coal oil can
cut in half, nearly filed with ashes fitted
with two iron rods across the top. The
fire built upon the ashes warns a tomato
can resting upon the rods. completing the
simple but effective outfit. A cracked
| bowl comprises the entire cr0ckery ser =
vice. But All Yet is only one of many
whose lives are similar existence, and
whose food is chiefly rice and bits of I'M
wholesome kinds of meat. Whether New
York Cinnamon eat rats the writer is I'M
able 10 say. The use of a stove-pipe is be-
yOnd the ken of most Cinnamon. They
make their fires in open braziers, allow
ing the smoke to curl up to the ceiling
and escape by the window, if the room is
80 fortunate as to have one.

There is one css OF Cinnamon mere
VINO do noting whatever, and
yet live eom6tably. They are the
Highbinders OF Hip-Ye-TOng men. The
Hip-Y e-TOng ia Chinese society popular
ly supposed to)e the Oriental branch of
Free Masons. But this appears to be
mistake. Centres ago this secret order
sprung up in China and flOurlshed so
amazingly thawithIn the next hundred
years it becaTe serious menace to the
empire. At lngth the attempt to put
the Hip Ye-Tqg down resulted in an
insurrectlon lat was waged bitterly for
several years but at length, the Emperor
obtaining tn upper hand, the heads OF
several of the leaders were cut OF and
the rest escapd into the provinces. There
they and their descendants have remained
ever since, SVEN enemies of the govern
ment. Their ldges are maintained Ia
secret, for deaf is the reward OF the Hip
Ye- Tong memDers. When the Chinese
emigration frsiturned towards America,
the Hip-Ye-ToB seized the opportunity
to establish itsef in a new world, and the
adherents of thu order tiOcked hitherward
in great numbes. Awriter in the Graphic
recently gave N interesting account OF
the workings 0 the order in this coun-
try. The sOcIey organized itself into a
supreme and subordinate lodge, elected
judges, court Gficers, priests and consta-
bles, and set Up a government. There
was no appeanrom Its decisions, and its
sentences wen carried out with the ut
most cruelty and vindictiveness. The ex-
ecutiye oticersof the society were called
Highbinders, and bloodthirsty gang OF
assassiDs they were. II one Chinaman
owed another, lie was summoned before
this secret tribunal and placed upon trial
without benefitot counsel. The plaintiff,
being usually tie richer man and able to
pay more for FerdIet than the unfOrtun-
ate debtor, usually got favorable decis-
ion. II the victim had any money it was
taken from him and he was sent out strip

monished that an appeal to the Mclean
Court would result in his death. No

Chinaman and had no money TO pay in
the shape of damages, he was beaten,
thrown into dungeon, starved, or even
killed. 1t not infrequently happened that
Cinnamon in san Francisco were tried
and sentenced without being arrested, and
the execution of the sentence entrusted
to Highlander or hatchet-man. This
thug would search all the places where
the victim was known to resort, shadow
him until he found an opportunity to
carry out the vengeance OF the Hip-Ye-
Tong and stab him in the back, or brain
him with the keen Ratchet all these EEL
lows carry. The name "hatcbet-men"
were given the Hip-Ie-Iong eXecutl0ners
from the fact that they all carried hatch
cts or small bars or iron concealed under
their coats. The few people who know
anything OF the workings ~ this society

system OF blackmail and oppression has
been transplanted to New York. Yet such
is the case.

NEW YORK, March 26.---The Chinese

uncleanliness and disagreeable ways, his
dishonesty and bad habits, in the art Of
