CHINESE CUTTHR0AT.
ONE OF THE MOST NOTORIOUS NOW
IN CUSTODY.
WeII-KnOwn In Chinatown and the
Sums of San F'ranciscO-CharIey
Tong Sing a Remarkable Man IN
Many Ways.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S-The police of
Newark have in custody Lem Tong
Sing, alias Charley Tong Sing, who,
the New York police say, is one of
the most notorious cut threats ever
known in Chinatown or the slums of
San Francisco. Acting Captain Young,
of the Sixth precinct, New York, has
information from Lem Tong Sings own
countrymen living in Mott street, that
the prisoner is responsible for four or
five murders that have been instigated
by the Highbinders' societies in the
United States.
Captain Youngs men would arrest
Sing if he should appear in their juris-
diction, for he is wanted by them on
charges of assault ind battery and
gambling. Charley Tong Sing is a re-
markable man in many ways. When
he first appeared in Chinatown, early
in the present year, the countrymen of
the clique opposed to the Hip Sing
Tong, or Highbinders' society, at No q
Chatham square, promptly became ter
ror stricken and some of them asked
the protection of the police. Charley
Sing is the name that he is best known
by About the fourth week of his resi-
dence in New York City he obtained a
great deal of notoriety by making an
LII oPPOAipIiA~iAS 20 SPNSA~~-
detective in Chinatown He said that
gambling was going on constantly at
nearly a score of places in Mott, Pell
and Doyer streets, and that the regular
police were not able to suppress it.
To support his claim for the special
detective job, Charley Sing produced
letters from Chief Engineer Melville,
of the United States navy and from the
Judge tdvocate general, which purport-
ed to show that he was on the steam
ship Jeanette and later on the Thetis
in the Arctic region. He had two
medals, one presented by Congress to
survivors of the Jeanette expedition,
and one presented by the navy depart
mendt
Guam Nick Namm became the object
of attack ON the part of the Highbind-
ers. and a price of 1000 was alleged to
be the reward for his death. Guam
Nick Namm had been in San Fran
cisco when Charley Sing was there and
he gave Captain Young the whole story
of Charley's career of crime. Guam
Nick Namn says that Charley Sing
killed man and got his papers,
and has since that time passed
himself as the original owner of the
papers. Captain Young says that Guam
Nick Namm is truthful and honest in
every way, and that Lem Tong Sing
will be prosecuted to the full extent OF
the law.

LONDON. Dec. 1S.-The officials of
the British foreign Office declined to ex-
press any opinion on the Venezuelan
question and the same attitude of re-
serve was maintained at the United
States embassy here.
United States Ambassador Bayard
arrived at the embassy at an early
hour looking worried. He declined to
see any one, saying that the matter
was much too grave to discuss.
a dispatch to the Press Association
from Manchester says that President
Cleveland's message to Congress on
the Venezuelan question, created a
panic at the opening of the stock ex-

(Special to The Herald)

Especial to The Herald.)
BOISE, Dec. 16.-Much excitement has
been caused in Owyhee county over the
mysterious disappearance of a young
man named Richards, step-son of John
Richards, a prominent stock man. He
lives on Reynolds Creek, and has been
missing since the latter part of last
week, and it is feared he has been foully
dealt with. His horse returned from the
range on Saturday, riderless. There was
a bullet mark on the horn of the saddle
A party of searchers have given up the
search and the sheriff and posse will
start out in the morning. Owing to the
fact that there has been much trouble
lately with cattle thieves, many believe
young Richards came upon a band of
them and they killed him.
