SIX COMPANIES BROKEN.
The Most Powerful Chinese Organfzati on

The Most Powerful Chinese Org8nfzati on
in America Disrupted.
SAN Francisco. Aug. 2S.-The fac
tional fight that has been going on for
some time in Chinatown between the
See Yup and the Sam Yup families has
eliminated in the disruption of the Six
companies, the most powerful organiza-
ton ever instituted by the Chinesein this
country.
The secession of the See Yups from
the Six companies leaves the latter with
the small end of the organization and
depleted treasury. The boycott started
by the See Yups has nearly ruined the
Sam 1up merchants, and il not ended
soon, it will cause the retirement from
business of large number of firms. The
boycott is not confined to this city, but is
being extended to every place in the
United States where Chinese reside in
any number.
This state of affairs has been tele-
graphed to the minister. A few days
ago he informed the Chinese officials
that unless the boycott was declared off
within twelve days from the date of his
telegram. he would come to San Fran
cisco and take hand in the controversy.
This is understood to mean that some Of
the leaders in the warfare may expect to
have their heads Topped off whenever
they return to China unless they comply
with the commands of the minister

EVENING DRESS FOR YOUNG LADY.


ity of this grass cloth. The gloves match
it in color; so do the hosiery and the
hat It is thought to be very good form to
have these suits all in the same shade.
There are also natty little Jackets made
Of the same stuff, with very fanciful and
large smoke pearl buttons. This grass
cloth folds neatly and stays folded, SO
that the most of the waists are laid in
surplice foIGs across the bust, leaving
small V shape at the neck.
This is edged with narrow lace sewed
on fiat. Gray linen and batiste are also
used to make these chic suits. When the
waist is laid in surplice folds, the belt
is also folded and finished with rosette
of the material edged with narrow lace.
Some few of these grass linen gowns
have deep sailor collars, with perforated
wheels, and the color that shows beneath
is very pretty, for they should be lined
with light silk.
I saw some crepon gowns and some
new effects in very high relief pattern,
and [ am pretty sure that they will be-
worn quite into the winter. [ saw Gre
pom gowns with sleeveless surtouts TO
wear over them. These are short, sack
like in form, and while they have no
sleeves they do have collars turned out
ward and stiffened to a degree. There
are some Of these surtouts made of fine
cloth, the surface almost hidden by SOU
tache braiding of the same shade as the
cloth, with a line of gold braid set
along the lower edge of the soutache
scarcely thicker than thread. The sur
touts are lined with silk of d contrast
ing color. Some are made quite plain,
with tailor stitching. They will certain
" have vogue, and the soutache
braiding, where the braid is set upon
edge, is bound to become popular. I saw
skirt with panels of cream cloth en-
tirely covered with the braiding. 1t
makes a very rich trimming.
Once in awhile gowns are designed
specially for the middle aged and quite
elderly ladies, and I discovered two to-
day. O1ia was Of superb stone gray peau
de sole, each front seam being piped
with velvet shade darker. This gown
was cut princess shape and fell in very
ample folds in the back. Across the
bust there were folds Of the velvet cross
ed in surplice style and edged with fine
chantilly, which ended in short jabots
on each side under jet cabochons.
The old lady had delicate drab
