reigns in the Chinese quarter of this city
The members of the Suey Ong Tong COM

on the lookout to take each others lives.
The guage of battle was thrown down on
the LIST instant when Wong Fook Choy was
shot and killed in the Washington street
theater by Dick All Ting, while defending
an actor from blackmail. The murderer,
who was member of the Suey Ong Tong,
escaped. Bah Guy of the latter society
was shot and killed on Washington street
on the Sd inst, and comrade, Hi Choy
Pu, was set upon and badly beaten at the
same time. Not content with taking life
for the one which they had lost, the Hop
Sing longs exacted another, and the night
of election day Hank All Voc was fatally
shot. With the exception of the first muir
derer the detectives are at sea as to who
did the shooting. The Chinese consul has
addressed an order to the warning organi-
cations commanding them to refrain from
quarrelling, but detectives who have
charge of the Chinese criminal service be-
ieve that several more shooting ARRAYS
will result before the two societies will

has not been sound and his face shows
signs of the awful mental strain which he

death and says he regrets the possibility
that the doctors will, out him open in
their postmortem. He is anxious that his
remains be securely entombed in brick
ed vault, lest they be stolen by some
graceless members of the medical profess
sion, whom he describes as rubbing their
hands in anxious ecstacy to lay hold of
him after he is dead and carve him up.
He laughs at those who think he would

the stuff that suicides are made of.
