MONGOL VIGELANTS
The Six Companies in a
New Role.
ONE MORE PROCLAMATION.
Reward Offered for the Man Who
Wrote or Posted the Threat
Against the We Sung.

Proclamations are the order of the day in
Chinatown. Fire-cracker paper ornamented
with familiar hieroglyphics is everywhere
visible.
So anxious are the Acknowledged aliens to
secure the latest news that when q bill
poster emerges from the printing-shop with
an armload of circulars he is followed TO
the billboards by an eager crowd OF his
countTymen.
There was more proclaiming yesterday.
and it being the Six Companies turn they
began posting circulars at the usual places
at high noon. The companies have adopted
American ideas to the extent of organizing
vigilance committee. ami just to tickle
American notions make a public acknOwl-
edgment that they have organized for le-
gitimate business. This Is what caused the
butcher TO forsake his pork, the smoker his
pipe and the barber the half-dressed head
of his customer yesterday in Chinatown.
They all went down TO read the latest.
NOTICE.
By the Six COmnanleS We, the Six Com
nanies have organized Vigilance Committee
for the purpose OF protecting our interests. The
highbnders are becoming too open In their law
lessness. We have also issued an appeal asking
all good Cinnamon 10 assist US in breaking up
the hghbnders. In return they Issued a paper
which was direct threat against the We Lung
give 500 TO any person who VIII give us niorma-
lion as 10 who wrote or posted said nfiammatOry
circular, and $500 reward will be paid for The
apprehension OF tile author or inst lgator OF any
paper OF a like character. We WIZ also give
500 for the arrest Of The person who forged the
name OF the Six Companies to The late paper.
Authorized and signed BY the WE LUNG.
Following this another circular was posted,
in which number Of prominent Cinnamon
renounced their bad associates and would
hereafter affiliate with the Six Companies.
There is q very decided feeling of unrest
in Chinatown, but nevertheless the thought
of returning to China does not seem to
occupy much space in the mental caliber of
John.
"As near as l can find" said Detective
Cox yesterday 10 a CALL man, "the Chinese
look upon the registration ms a matter still
in litigation. / am firmly convinced, how
ever. that they Intend to employ the best
legal talent in the country in an attempt TO
break down the GeRry act. We shall not
interfere with any proclamations under the
consular seal, or any by the companies
which are peaceful in pucpOTt or designated
to enlighten the Ignorant on the subjects OF
interest to them. If you want to find how
registration is progressing you will find
Chinatown the worst place IN the city to
secure information"
The police are greatly encouraged by the
fact that several of the prominent charac-
leCs in Chinatown are coming out for law
and order. 1t is believed that tie better
class will follow, now that they feel
assured of police protection.
Attic Chinese Consu's Office everything
was very quiet yesterday. 1t is said that
no more prcclamatons will be issued at
present.
The paper posted yesterday proves that
the Chinese who were threatened in the re-
cent inhammatOry circular do not look upon
the threats of the hfghblnders as n hoax.
II gold tempts some one TO deliver up
the man fh. Sly COnnaui1s want ihpra
will be more fun In the vicinity OF WayeTly
place.
