MORE MURDERS EXPECTED.
Six Men Arrested for Killing Little Pete
In san Francisco.

San Francisco, Jan. 26-Excitement
continues undated in Chinatown over
the murder late Sunday night of Little
Pete, the Chinese gambler. shoe mer-
chant and shoe manufacturer, by High
binders. Little Pete was worth prob
ably 100000 and was a leader of the
Sam Yup Tong. There is no question
that the three men who rushed into
barber shop and killed him were High
binders in the employ OF Zee Yup Tong.
between which society and the Sam
Yups there has been a bitter warfare
for many months.
The Sam Yups are composed OF the
merchant classes in Chinatown and the
Zee Yups largely Of laborers with few
gamblers and divekeepers as associates.
Six Chinese have been arrested for the
murder. A large extra force of police
has been sent into Chinatown, but Ii Is
thought they cannot prevent further
murders. King Owyang knows that he
has been marked for murder. King
Owyang Is a graduate of Yale and for
several years has been Chinese vice
consul at this port. He has been act
i've in trying to maintain order in China
town and has sided with the Sam Yups
In the fight against the Zee Yups.
Little Pete and King Owyang. 1t is
said, took a contract to break up the
Zee Yups in this city. Private de-
tectives were hired. who dogged the Zee
Yup men constantly and broke into
their places and destroyed their furni-
ture. The Zee Yups appealed to the
courts and the detectives were enjoined
from further operations. King Owyang.
when asked what he thought his
chances were, said: They have not
got me yet. but they got Little Pete"
AS Little Pete was the most feared man
in Chinatown and was supposed to be
invulnerable there is every prospect
that the vice consul will soon follow
him

Washington, Jan. 26.-Advices re-
ceived at the weather bureau indicated
the full force of the cold wave would

the effects of the cold snap, which Is
technically explained to be due to an
exceedingly high barometer from the
cold breeding regions of the Canadian
northwest provinces pushing south and
eastward, and displacing low barom-
eter in those sections. Local SHOWS are
quite generally reported from Texas
and from Mississippi valley regions. In
this city the barometer went Sunday
night to degrees above zero. and Is
expected to fall considerably more. 1t
is too early to predict how much dam
age will be done in Florida and the
south Atlantic states by the cold snap.
The weather bureau expects that low
temperatures will be general through
out the section east OF the Rockies,

THE NICARAGUA CANAL
Bearing Of the Arbitration Treaty
Upon II.
SENATOR'S DISCUSS THE NATTER.

Several Members of the Foreign Relations
Committee Think the Canal May BE Sc
riousIy Affected by the Treaty-Morgan
Insists That the Canal Situation Must
BE settled Before the Treaty Can BE
Ratifed-Advicesf from Consul Batholow,
Washington, Jan. 26.-The senate
committee on foreign relations Monday
had the arbitration treaty under dis
cussion but the discussion was almost
wholly upon it's bearing on the Mic
aragua canal. The committee had read
the Clayton -Bulwer treaty; also all
treaties and agreements between the
United States and Nicaragua and Costa
Rica relating to the canal. The let
ter Of Minister kodergueriz presented
to the senate on Friday, in which the
Nicaraguan government protested
against the present canal bill before
the senate formed the basis of discus
sion. This led to talk of what the
real situation was in regard to the con-
session and the canal and the rights Of
the Maritime Canal company as well as
the rights OF the United States.
Treaty Might Affect Canal.
Several senators seemed to think that
the Nicaraguan canal might be serious
ly affected by the treaty. and the de-
termination of the committee will be to
go to the bottom of the question before
taking up other portions of the treaty.
Senator Morgan took an active part in
the discussion, being chairman OF the
Nicaragua canal committee and In
charge of the bill before the senate.
His views were presented at some
length and with much earnestness. The
Alabama senator insisted that the ca
nal situation must be settled before the
treaty could be ratified.
