asked.
"They do their work openly to a grea,
extent" replied Mr.. Quinn. They act
as a court for the Chinese, and the Coles-
tials come hundreds OF miles here to
San Francisco to have the presidents OF
these companies settle Their troubles.
There Is no appeal from them. The
Cinnamon who refuse TO obey them viii
certainly disappear, and no one but
the Six Companies will know what has
become of them. As TO their business
there Is no doubt but they have been
engaged for years IN smuggling opium,
the importing Of Chinese women for
immoral purposes and the importing OF
Chinese laborers in defiance OF the
exclusion act. II Is estimated that a
handsome Chinese girl Of twelve to
fourteen years Of age is worth when
landed Ia San Francisco clear Of the
customs officers $500 White men are
hired to peIjurc themselves IN swearing
that these girls were born IN America,
return TO China for an education and
then come home again. Hundreds OF
women have been brought In this way
and the Six Companies pay the pepurcrs
and hire the lawyers to defend the cases.

the earth about six months ago. They
had lust landed Chinese gifi aged only
ten years. The men were q. rested aud
the girl was found at a disfeputablc
place where she had been taken immcdi-
aiely after being landed. The pc1urcrs
and the girl were bailed cut OF jail by
money furnished by the Six Companies
| aud a LAWYER was paid by the same
| organization. II Is estimated that II cost
| the companies between tive and six
thousand dollars to land this girl and
/ the companies stick to their own people
to the last. They spare no expense to
accomplish their ends and they are
honest in carrying out the most immoral
OF their contracts"
TilR GREAT CHINESE LOTTERY.
"How about the Chinese lottery" |
asked.
This is one Of the creates, sources Of
revenue for the companies. They run
lotteries in every city and town IN the
United States, Canada, Mexico, British
America and Alaska. The lottery Is
honest rs far as the drawing Is concern.
ed. II Is Chinese affair and man
can win II he happens TO mark the right
number Of spots on his ticket, ten
thousand dollars for the first payment OF
twenty-five cents. A drawing IS held
twice day, morning and evening, and
II is estimated that the Six Companies
make Sac. 600 day out Of Il. This
lottery is corruptlng San francisco. The
whites as well as the Chinese engage in
II. The police have tried to break II up
and both the city and state have passed
laws against it, but II does a greater
business today than ever"

coolies who were trying to get IN. as
soon as the act was published a cry

AT the same time there came word nom
the vineyards and iruiigfowing districts
Of California that the wholesale depor-

there was not a negro able to work, aud

in the orchards. Train loads Of boys

houses full OF sick children and the
Chinese again at work among their
trees. On the deserts in southern Cali.
fornia and Arizona the railroads have to
use Cinnamon as section hands, as white
men cannot stand the terrible summer
sun. The Chinese know that there is a
certain class of work here that they
alone can do. They are not fools and

by the highlander societies OF the

"What are the highbinders1" asked.
THE Chinese nighbinders," was the
reply, is Chinaman who never works,
but lives of OF the earnings OF bad
women and the proceeds Of blackmail
He doesn't need to have a mans secret
to threaten him, but he has merely TO 90
TO him and say, 'UnleSs you pay the
highbindcr society $500 az more, as the
case may be, before Saturday night, we
will kill YOU. There is no half way

| highlander cares nothing for the law.
I Clothing himself with coat OF mall
made either Of fine steel chains or OF
/ twenty or thirty thicknesses Of news
paper quilted together and made into 4

from the throat TO the thighs, he arms
himself with a long.barrcled revolver

waits for toe man he Is TO kill. When
the man comes along he begins his
work, regardless Of the presence Of the
| police, aud he finishes II, though he may
| know he Is to hang for II the next
day. This sounds horrible but such
things have been done in San Francisco
and will doubt not, be done again.
Only few weeks ago one Of these men
named Lee Sing killed a Chinaman
named Yik with three policemen In sight
OF him lie had drawn the black bean
OF the society, which sentenced him to
kill this man Nik and he killed him.
There were four men killed by the high.
binders at this time. They were killed
because they had registered themselves
and had urged other Cinnamon to do
the same-in other words, to obey the
laws OF the United States. The high.
binder society held q meeting and drew
lots as TO who should kill the men, and
they were all killed according TO the
drawing. Do you wonder that the
Chinese are afraid to fight their own

al suppose the Chinese Of this city are
very wealthy"
Eyes; there are at least twenty
millionaires among them, and the 27,ooo
Chinese Of San Francisco have their
hands on all the Chinese money in the
United States. AS 20 rich men, take,
for instance, Wong Fat, one OF the
twenty Chinese millionaites Of San
Francisco. lie owns little store on
Dupont street and the room he occupies
IS only twenty by fifty, but he has
branches In every town In southern
California and he has establishments in
Denver, Salt Lake, Kansas City, Omaha,
St. Louis, Chicago, Minneapolis, ST.
Paul, indianapolis and New York. His
branches IN these other towns have
smaller branches radiating over the
whole country, and he gets reports from
every one Of them. The Chinese in
New York and Washington report to
the Six Companies here lust the same
rs the man who lives few doors away
from the company's offices. Wong Fat
himself controls more than 1000
laborers and the most OF these have
been smuggled into this country. II
costs Chinaman 5000 to be Struggled
into the United States, and he pays this
money over to the Six Companies out
OF his wages. lie is landed and rented
