LOCAL CHINESE SLAVERY.

How It Is Carried on by the Celestials
in This city.
Again there's trouble in Chinatown
over the Chinese slave women. This
time Wong Chez, the leader of the Wong
Gong society and without doubt the
wealthieet celestial in the city, ia di-
rectly connected with the affair.
If reports are true Wong Chez is given
protection-for price-during such
troublous times in the Chinese quar-
ters. and he is known to have all the
protection money can buy.
According to celestial informants, the
fight now on in Chinatown ia owing to
costly Chinese woman slave whose
then absence of the almond-eyed
heab en-. it is alleged the big boss took
the "A man and hid her from those in
whose ,hargs she had been left, and
thus st -red up much trouble.
CHM Q slavery exists in Los Angeles
as it doc in the Flowery kingdom, and
is certain menace to all that tends
to peace and quiet. The police have
much troh e with the Chinese over the
slave womt !. and not inirequently the
missionaris kidnap the unfortunate
beings and send them to the home for
fallen women. Nearly all the wealthy
Cinnamon have one or more slaves. and
those who do not live in concubinage are
forced to live life OF the basest i'm
morality. 1t is not an exaggeraiion to
say that most of the Chinese slaves in
this city are forced to sell their souls for
the pscuniary benefit of their heathen
masters.

thirty daily. In some cases whole families
were exterminated in few days. Euro

disease. although in some cases their sur

of several Portuguese in Hong Kong.
The cause of the strange malady is
mystery, but it is undoubtedly filth dis
ease A physician who had large expert
ence with the black plague in Pakhol some
years ago said in an interview that 1t was
due to foul smells. The plague symptoms,
as described already, are as follows:
With or without premonitory warning in
the shape of chill, there Is sudden fever
rising to 105 degrees or over. There is
much headache and cerebral disturbance,
accompanied by stupor. In from twelve
to twenty-four hours glandular swelling
occurs in the neck, armpit, or groin rap
idly enlarging to the size Of a fowls egg;
ii is hard and exceedingly tender. With
or without a decline of the fever, the pa
tient sinks deeper into a condition of coma
and dies usually at the end of forty-eight
hours or sooner. He declared that animals
were affected first, because the germs
were nearer the ground.
Native reports from Canton say that the
epidemic is somewhat decreasing there, but
many new cases are still reported 1t is
said that fish are also stricken, and fisher
men in some districts have been forced to

But the germs of the disease seem to be

One cause that led to this result was
that there had been no rain all for long
period and all streams and sources of
drainage were foul. Vigorous steps were
taken TO secure artificial flushing OF all
drains and a thorough cleansing of the
entire city was had but there was no de-
crease until about the 10Th. when several
heavy rain storms occurred.
Health officers made house TO house
canvass of the district of the city where
the disease seemed TO center, and all sick
