Chinatown received blow yesterday be-
low the belt and for a few hours consterna-
zion reigned. 1t was United States Mar
shal Long who dealt the foul on the part of
the Government but he justifes his viola
tion of the rules of the Marquis of Queens
berry by saying that Chinatown had raised
Its belt too high. 1t came about In this way
and was in manner a tardy tlow:
Since W. G. Witter has been added to the
personnel of the United States District At
torney's Office, with the special charge of
Chinese affairs, the way of the Monaghan
transgressor has been growing harder daily
lie .wss simply doing his duty, but there was
no precedent for such untoward proceedings
and Chinatown has been crying persecution.
A few days ago he was considerably lu-
convenienced by the non-appearance OF cer-
tain defendants or their bondsmen. They
had been in America over a year each on
bonds signed by Chinese merchants OBJ
tanned for them by Attorney Stranahan.
Assistant District Attorney Witter brought
things to focus with rapidity that must
have astounded the old slow-going subjects
of the Flowery Kingdom. He swore to
writs of attachment against the property OF
the bondsmen and the processes were served
yesterday.

SOME OF THE ATTACHED.
Wong Ngook Seung arrived in port by the
steamer China on May 49, 1890 In keeping
with his claim of being q Mclean man he
was released on bonds purporting to have
been signed by Wong Ah Toy. Wong Lung
and Wong An Bon. Wong Lung protests
that the signature Of his name to the bond
is a forgery, but Marshal Long told him he
had nothing TO do with that, and attached
the store notwithstanding. Wong NgOOk
Seung failed to appear for trial and for de-
pOrtatiou. Therefore the attachment
a Chinaman named Lee Ark. who keeps
a store on Commercial street, WAS also
attached, but he put up $1,000 cash to
cover the bond and POSSIBLE costs. This Is
what Marshal Long advised all the Chinese
to do, but many wanted to give more bonds.
Though none were accepted up TO last even
ing. their attorneys kept themselves busy
in and about the Appraisers Building of
which they are an ignOble fixture.
