Price Placed ON Their Heads.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 17.-Wong
Chang Com, a non-union tailor, was
murdered to-day in the hallway of
Chinese clearinghouse on Dupont
street. Two bullets lodged in his head,
one passed through his body and an
other through the left hand. The assas-
sins, supposed to be two. who are I'M
known, escaped.
Two revolvers out of which three
shots had been fired were found by the
police in garbage can near the scene
of the tragedy. Chinese labor troubles
are asserted to have caused the kill
ing, as 1t is asserted that a price of
$500 has been placed on the heads Of

are to be excluded. We should prefer
to have the influence Of England and
this country thrown in the direction of
open markets. China is in just the po-
sition that Turkey was. If it had not
been for the great Powers Turkey
would have been carved up long ago.
The great Powers may go on just
as they have, if the Government at
Picking can hold on. but that Govern
ment is SO CONTEMPORARY weak that 1t
is always offering something for help.
But the greatest security against the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of China is that the
great Powers cannot agree upon the
terms of division. For the once things
are likely to go along as they are now,
but ultimately a dismemberment is not
improbable"
