Wong Chin Too Makes Sensstions1
Charges in s chicago Court.
The case, which it IS alleged involves
a Chinese highbinders' conspiracy. came
up IN a Chicago police court on tue 10Th.
Inc defendant was Charley Sing, an
employe OF A. II. Suey. He was
charged with disorderly couduct
and carrying concealed weapons.
1t appears that some Cinnamon
entered the store in which
he was employed and demande the
cash box, and that he drew the revolv-
or in defending his employers prop
erty; that the police, wGen they made
the descent, p0unced on the wrong
man, allowing the robbers to escape.
Il OF this and more was stated by
Wong Chin Foo, the well-known
Chinese lecturer and journalist of
New York, who came here to
defend Charley sing. For some
time, Wong said, the hard-working
Chlnamen IN the city have been preyed
upon by set OF thriulesS Mongoliaus
too lazy to work and desperate enough
to obtain money in any other way. The
chief of this gang was Charley Lee, a
high binder who has led his Compan-
ions in several deeds of violence which
have caused the better classes OF China
men the less of much money and
severe bodily injury, knives having
in many cases been freely used by
Charley Lee and his gang. These
cases have never been reported to the
police, as the MoDgol1ans put little
faith in the jastice afforded by law.
There wes no prosecution and Charley
was discharged. 1t is claimed that
N hen Wong Chin Foo arrived an at
tempt was made TO buy him of. Wong
.ecIares that there is Il scheme on foot
among the rich Chinese grocery men to
drive out the smaller dealers by the
en- DlOyment of thugs.

BY A LARGE MAJORITY.
The Sioux Falls Con stitution Adopted by
he Nntars Of ut


the Voters of South Dakota.
The election in South Dakota on the
18th, was for or against the Sioux Falls
constitution, so-called because it was
four years ago adopted at that city, upon
which the omnibus bill required another
vote, and for the election Of delegates
to convention at Sioux Falls,
such convention to complete the
work to be done before the
presidential proclaim alton Of statehood.
TIE vote was light but the majority in
favor of the constitution was over
whelming, while the delegates elected
to the convention have been two Re-
publicans to one Democrat. that division
having been agreed upon before the
election. In North Dakota dele
gates were elected to the con-
stitutional convention which will
convene at Bismarck July +
There, as IN South Dakota, the Demo-
cratic party was given one-third of the
delegates. This being true there was
but little trouble at the polls. The re-
turns, so far as received, indicate that
with few exceptions the agreement
as to the division OF the various dele
gates viii be strictly adhered to and
the minority viii be given a hearing
when the constitution Is being framed.

The Two days conference at Brazil,

State Executive BoJrd and the miners
delegation, ended at noon on the l4th,
with the operators formal refusal to
aFbitrate the difference between the
two bodies IN relation to the yearly scale

throughout the state. The operators
demanded reduction from 80 to 20
ents on block coal, and from 75 to 50
cents on bituminous, the biggest cut
ever made in the history of the coal
trade in the West. The operators base
their refusal to arbItrate on the ground
that undertaking by Ohio, Pennsyl-
wanna and illinois operators makes it
impossible TO get market at less re-
ductIon. Seven thousand miners in the
state are affected by the decision. All
negotiations are considered off. and
