MORE WAR TALK.
The Chinatown Tongs Seem to be
Considerably Disturbed.

Instead of subsiding, the war spirit
in Chinatown seems to be on the in
crease. and there is considerable COM
motion among the Mongolians.
The bad blood between the FOng
Duck and the Suey On Tongs seems to
be growing worse About two months
ago the Suey Ons vacated their head
quarters on | street, between Second
and Third, and the FOng Ducks took
possession of half of the building.
The feeling consequent upon the ac-
quittal of the two Chinese recently
tried for murder, in the meantime grew
bitterer, and the Suey Ons are said to
have begun shipping in highbinders, un-
til at the present time the police say
they have forty thugs at their call
A few days ago the Suey Ons. in or
der to get near to their sworn enc
mics, the Fong Ducks, moved their
headquarters back into the house they
had vacated, occupying the half that
had not been taken by the Fong Ducks.
One stairway, and it is narrow, dark
and crooked. leads to the doors of both
headquarters. and when a Chinaman
of either gang leaves or enters the
place he crouches and glares about,
evidently expecting the shot that is
sure to come sooner or later.
The FOng Duck people are much ex-
cited, and are in constant communi-
cation with the police. They claim
that their enemies wear sheet-iron
jackets under their blouses, and that
they have one big Chinaman who has
killed five or six men, but owing to
the manufactured evidence of his
friends has always escaped punish
ment
The officers say that at least forty
highbinders from Oroville, Marysville
and San Francisco are here to wage
war on behalf of the Suey Ons. They
are employed at the Chinese cannery.
