a design, a map of the state of Min
nesota, with a large star in the center,
which it proposes to have affixed to
every broom manufactured In st. Paul,
and asks purchasers to give home
made goods the preference over outside
goods.
The bricklayers convened at Assem-
bly, halls Thursday night. Communi-
cations from all over the country in
regard to the prospects for work the
coming season were received. Chan
ming Seabury sent in a communication
dated March IL, in answer to the reso-
lutiOns Of the union that the contract
for building the capitol be given to
Minnesota contractors and that the
labor thereon should be done by union
labor only. In reply, Mr.. Seabury said
he would submit the resolutions to the
commission at its next meeting, which
would occur on the Goth or 25th inst,
for consideration. He said that the
capitol would be built under a special
act Of the Legislature, which defines the
duties Of the board very clearly, and
that for all work amounting to over
$1,000, proposals must be advertised.
The law is as follows: I'm any case
where there are bidders and materials
from other states the performance shall
be given, the quality and terms being
equally favorable to the bidders and
materials within this state" In an
other section the act reads: "And so
far as the said board are of the opin-
ION that the same can be done con-
sistently with the best interests of the
state, preference shall in all cases be
given to Minnesota material and la,
bor." He said that he felt very sure
that the material, men, mechanics and
laborers OF all classes in this state
need have no fear but what they will
have fair treatment at the hands of
the board, since they are all Minnesota
men, and most of them old residents of
the state. The board knew that Min
nesota possessed all the skill required
TO construct the capitol. The board
had chosen a Minnesota architect and
he did not believe it would be neces-
sary to go outside of the state for con-
tractors to do the work under him, but
that some Of the material to be used in
the building is not to be obtained in
Minnesota, hence the present provis-
ions Of the law were, according to his
judgment sufficiently restrictive. He
further said that the construction of
the building would be commenced in
May. and that lie hoped to see an army

Alaska is gold. and the metal to be found
from the grass roots down, but not in

in a few localities. When the quartz
veins of the country are found and the
gold belt discovered and marked on the

men from civilized parts to come and

town, having since lived at ZAP South
Hill street. For a time he ventured
into the Celestial quarter but little. but
of late has grown bolder and was there
nearly every evening. Events have
proved that his enemies were relentless,
and at last found an opportunity to Sc
cure revenge.
1t Is probable that this is but the be-
ginning of the trouble, as the Bing On's
will now feel it incumbent upon them to
pot one of the Hop Sings to get even,
and more shooting may be looked for.
ExOficer Bosqui, who has been close to
Wong Chez and knows all his affairs,
having roomed at his house for the past
eight months, went down into Chinatown
after the shooting and arrested Quong
Ark suspect. and landed him in Jail. 1t
is not known that he Is directly impli-
Gated in the shooting, but he ISL COM

and sent him In on suspicion. His name
Is Wing Chew Cow, better known as
Big Jim. Both prisoners protested their
innocence of anything wrong, and no
weapons of any kind were found upon
their persons, but when they were
brought into the presence of Wong
Chez In the receiving hospital he unhesi-
tatinGly pronounced them to be the right
men. Wing Chew Cow, or Big Jim, was
said to have been the one who did the
shooting, and Gong On Chung the party
who stood in the doorway. Both cap
tives are hatchet men of the Hop Sings,
although Big Jim bears a fair character.
DIR. Bryant attended Wong Chez and
found him seriously wounded. The pis-
tol had evidently been held close to his
face, as his right cheek was badly pow
der burned. The heavy ball had enter
ed about an inch straight back from the
corner of the mouth on the right side and
passed through, making it's exit at the
point of the jaw below the ear on the
left cheek. The lower jaw had been
badly shattered and broken In three
places. While the wound is not neces-
sarily fatal it is serious and If compli-
cations set in may take Wong Chez
away from his earthly troubles. He was
bandaged up and made as comfortable
as possible and is getting along as well
as could be expected.
The trouble between the two factions
dates back for many years, almost as
long as there has been a Chinese colony
here. 1t is believed, however, that last
nights shooting grew out of the killing
OF Lucy Suey, who was shot by Bing On
highbinderS about eighteen months
ago at the corner of Ferguson alley and
Alemeda street. not far from where last
evenings affray took place. Suey was
very intelligent fellow and had incur
red the especial dislike of the Bing Ons
who thought he was standing in with
the police and giving information which
led to raids on their gambling establish
ments, etc. For this price was put on
his head and he was killed.
Wong Chez was arrested, along with
two other Celestials, one of whom is
now serving a sentence in San Quentin
He was believed to have been one of the
principal instigators of Suey's death and
has been in constant fear of his life ever
since. He was acquitted by the courts,
and Immediately moved out of China
