act. The Chief contradicted him fatty.
The proof of this duplicity will DO
laid before, Minister Yu The Minister,
deceived, the See Yups say, by tha
false stories of Consul Heng, sent to
China an indictment of the leaders Of
the society, asking that action be
taken in their ancestral homes"
against their relatives and business
connections. The original Of his COM
plant is written upon single sheet
of paper. The translation covers ten
typewriter pages. The appeal was
needed and a score of relatives were
arrested and imprisoned or forced to
flee to Hong Kong and the protection
of the British flag.
Among these were four sons of Lee
Fook, who are American citizens, and
the relatives Of Lee Kaing Chow. A
son and brother of Chan See Doom
were imprisoned. A son and a broth
er of Wong Shat Shung, the cousins of
Lee Shook, the father and son of
Gee Ho Chung and the relatives Of Yu
Hop Wo shared the same fate. Some
of them were whipped and otherwise
tortured to make them confess, and
the property OF seventeen of them YVES
contiscated.
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1897-04-29

The Chinese who led the way across the
Pacific. They found themselves in a
strange lad, surrounded by men whose
customs they could not understand and
whose way Of thinking they could not
adopt. Therefore they chung to their
own ways and organized themselves in
to a company on the tribal plan as it
still exists in China, where the family
clan is ruled by it's head. Those who
came later started other companies, I'M
til there were six, and these combined.
Their authority regulates dealings be-
tween Cinnamon, taxes them, protects
them, brings them over or send them
home.
Then came the secret societies, off
shoots of parent organizations in Chi
ma, impenetrable to foreigners. Some
Of them had mutual benefit for their
object, others vice and crime, others
murder, and still others concerned
themselves with the web of reasonable
political intrigue which Overspreads
China. Two of these, the See Yup and
she Sam Yup societies, at last became
involved in the feud which has induced
the present crisis. "a
The See Yup society is incorporated
under the laws of California. Its GER
tificate sets forth that its purposes are
good the relief of the poor and the sick,
education, the finding OF employment,
and the protection of its members. 1t
is composed of four of the Six Compa-
nies-the Ming Yung, Kong Chow, Hop
Wo and Shu Hing. OF the other two
companies one is said to be independ-
ent, with See Yup leanings, and the
other constitutes the rival society Of
the Sam Yups.
The See Yups claim the wealth and
intelligence of the Chinese in America.
Fong Yo Kaing is their president, who
Fong 70 Kaing is their president, and
among them are Lee Kaing Chow, who
is worth SO 1000; Lee Fook, credited
with $500, 900; Wong Shat Shung, whose
fortune is 100000; Chan Lee Dpon,
Ching Wang Wal, Yee Ho Chung, Yee
Hop Wo, Loni Shook and Others we'll
known in Chinese commerce.
The most conspicuous leader upon
the other side., that Of the Sam Yups,
appears to have been the late Flung
Ching, commonly known as Little
Pete" of San Francisco. What Pete
lacked in responsibility he made up in
cunning. For money he manipulated
iuries, doctored horse races, struggled
his countrymen into the country and
secured the taking off of those Of his
race whom others were willing to pay
TO have put out of the way.
There was a conflict of interests be-
tween the two societies. How it be-
gan is not material. Probably there
were many reasons. 1t soon developed
into feud which could not be checked
in the usual way, since the Six Compa-
MES were themselves involved. Muir
der was the first weapon employed. The
See Yups secured two bands, or
"Tongs," of Highhinders, the Sue
Sings and the Hop Sings. Little Pete
for the Sam Yups, organized two more.
A member of either faction who in
Cured the especial wrath Of the other
was reasonably sure to be found shot
9r stabbed in some out of the way
place. Little Pete put OF. a bullet
land knife proof coat of mail. and pro-
