A fact the goldbugs over look when
holding up Mexico as a terrible example is
that Mexican silver bonds have reached a
quotation in Europe approximating those
in Mexican gold skies. President Diaz be.
lieves that he could fund the entire belt OF

THE POWER WITHIN,

The Chinese Minister at Washington
on Wednesday issued an order to the
Chinese Consul General at San Fran
Disco directing that the societies of
hstchet men and highbinders must
be broken UP, the See Yup AS
sociation dissolved, the See Yup-Sam
Yup boycott declared off, and peace en-
forced In Little China In San Fran
Disco
Within three hours after the receipt
Of the order a large body of Chinese,
acting under direction of the Consul
General presumably, took up the mat
ter and broke into all the highbinder
JOSS houses. overthrow the idols tore
down the draperies, destroyed the fur
ntture and fittings, smashed the doors
and windows. and In one case Ieveled a
structure with the ground. The thugs
at enc time rallied to defend their head
ouartars, but the Invaders were too
strong for them, and the smashing and
dispensing process went on uninter-
Iuptodly.
Twelve OF the assassin societies are in
a confederation of murder, blackmail
and tyranny, and there are some others
acting Independently. The Chinese
Minister had ordered that the highbind-
er leaders must give bonds for future
good behavior, and II they do not do so,
and resist the effort to pacify China
town, penalties are threatened which It
Is said the Chinese greatly dread. as
they amount to outIawry and being
cut off from all privileges such as rec
ognttion and those visitaaions of dis
honor that only Chinese understand.
The point OF all this IS that within our
own bounds, under the nose of the State
and municipal authorities. there has
been done by foreign Power what our
authorities have been Incapable Of &C
comp1ishing. While for nearly two
years the warfare among the Chinese
has gone on, and numerous murders
have been committed and highbinder
societies have fourished and terrified
Little China" and made life in that
quarter very precarious; while a cruel
and peculiarly harsh boycott has been
enforced that amounted to robbery of
many Chinese, and was In all its phases
unlawful and outrageous, the home off,
ciaIs have not been able to crush the
leagues Of assassins or restore tran
qudllity to the quarter.
The police within a year smashed in
the doors Of two Tong establishments,
destroyed the fittings and seized weap-
ons. and have made arrests for some of
the murders committed. But still the
