Nigger alley and Alameda street. Both
societies will usher in the New Year
at midnight with great eclat and the
explosion of thousands of firecrackers.
During the continuance of the festival
every Chinaman will keep open house
and special services will be held in all
the joss houses. The largest institution
of this character is that of the Kong
Chow company, in a brick building
reached through an iron gate in Fergu-
son alley. Shuey Yit Gong, the temple
Oh the Wong family, situated upstairs
! on the east side of Los Angeles street,
back of the plaza engine house, is an
other, and there are several smaller
temples. A visit to Chinatown during
the next few days will be not only in
structive but profitable, and no fear need
be entertained of highbinders' bullets
during the festival.
THE CHIEF TAKES A HAND.
Yesterday Chief of Police Glass
learned that inflammatory notices had
been posted all over Chinatown by the
boycotters, and he caused one of them
to be translated. When rendered into
English, these new notices read:
BE 1t Known to All: Mon Sings wo-
man has bribed the policemen to kick
and TO abuse our Chinese people without
any provocation or any reasonable
cause; therefore, do not patronize Sing
Chung store. If any one caught in buy
ing things from said store he shall sure
ly be fined just as though he is caught
in buying from the Sam Yup stores.
ALL CHINESE"
When he had learned the real nature
of these notices the chief ordered officers
to go through Chinatown and tear down
such placards against the Sing Chung
store and notify the Chinese that any
further attempt to enforce their boy
cott would get them into serious trouble.
The chief says that the charges made
against Ah Sings wife are groundless.
All Sing is legally married to his wife;
has nine children, five girls and four
boys, and the family Is eminentIy re-
spectacle, as Chinese families CO.
The chief says that the information
that Mrs. Sing is accused of having CIV
en- to the police did not come from her at
all, but was learned by the officers who
broke into the board of trade meeting
when the boycott was being discussed.
The lives of the Ah Sing family have
been threatened by the highbinders and
tragedy may occur any day.

to start UP again at intervals as some
fresh cause for dispute arose between
the opposing factions. The Sam Yup
merchants, seeing their business being
ruined despite their cut prices, made a
big protest to San Francisco headquar-
ters, and a new move was made by the
leaders. The Chinese vice consul in that
city was enlisted on the side of the Sam
Yups, and, under his direction a raid
was made by private detectives on the
See Yup headquarters, which were
cleaned out and the furniture destroyed,
under the allegation that it was high
binder meeting place. Little Pete again
was a leading spirit in this move and
stored up more trouble for himself. FL
nally came the murder, and the tension
between the Yups is now stretched to
the breaking point. 1t is hardly probable
that any retaliatory move will be made
by the Sam Yups until after the New
Years festivities, which commence at
midnight tonight, but afterward soma
prominent See Yup will have to be
