PETE MAY Be AVENGED
His Nephew Supposed to B.
Guaranteed on the
China.
Chung Young Hue Is His Nam, and
He Is Mem Der of Pete's
Local Firm.

The murderers of Little Pete, the Chi
nese gambler, merchant and power in the
Chinese world of San Francisco, are not
to go unavenged if the relatives of the
dead man can help it, and il IS believed
that the hour OF retribution is near.
Since the steamer China arrived on
Thursday evening with forty-n Inc Chi
nese in ner steersge, mem bers of the Sam
Yup Company. to which Pete belonged,
and of the See Yup Company, which is
popularity believed to have instigated the
killing have been watching eagerly for
her passengers to come ashore that they
may search for a face dreaded by one and
welcomed by the other.
From the fact that nothing, not even a
passenger-list, has been allowed to leave
the vessel, because of the smallpox on
board, the memb ers of both societies are
on the anxious seat, and will be until the
ships papers are thoroughly fumigated.
The much looked Tor passenger is
Chung Teung Hue, a nephew of the MUIR
dered man, who is understood to be on
board. he may have missed connections
with the China at Hongkong, but it is
confidently believed that he is on board
and that once ashore he will i've the sig
nal that will start the high binders on the
trail OF prominent See Yups.
Chung Yeung Hue is a remarkably bright
young Chinese, VINO in facial characters
tics, as we'll as intellectual capacity, much
assemblies his late lamented relative He
is a member of Heung Y uen e. Co.. the
firm OF which Little Pete was Tie head,
and was trusted by the dead man with
many important transactions for the
house.
In July last, when the troubles between
ha Gao Nn, nd Go
to develop INTO a vendetta, the nephew
was sent by Pete TO China on an IMPORT
ant mission connected with the matter
which, if successful, was expected to re-
suit in the complete discontinue OF the
See Yups. He left San Francisco In the
month mentioned, and was in HongkoHg
when the news OF Pete's murder was
cabled to the relatives in China by mem
bers of Heung Yuen d. Co.
lie was asked to hurry to America to
assist IN ferretlng out and punlshfng the
slayers OF his uncle. This means to the
Chinese mind, that ii he is as ''nervy" a
man as the one who died by an assassin s
bullet, chair in the See Yup council
Will be vacant as soon as some high binder
can waylay the victim.
Little Pete died in the bar beT's chair on
January "A, and allowing Two days for the
ca blegram TO reach Chung Young Hue, ne
would still have time to catch the China
before she sailed on January 26 for this
port via Yokohama.
Chung Yerng Hue is a native born Chi
nese, has merchants papers and will be
able 20 land without difficulty when the
short period of quarantine is over He
speaks English remarkably wei and is
said to be as INSCRIPTIONS and daring as
his deceased uncle was i his lifetime.
The Chinese merchants believe that he
will at once increase the reward offered
by Little Pete's widow for the arrest and
conviction of the murderers, and that the
notice of reward will require a more sum-
mary method OF vengeance.
