Chinese factions is said to have result

these shores no more.
| A written agreement has been drawn
up and signed by the members of the
two factions in which 1t is agreed to
forever bury the hatchet. This agree
ment provides for the dismissal of the
suit of Ching zee Sun ct al VS. Vim
Quon ct al. and the withdrawal of the
appeal in the case of Territory of Ha-
wan VS.. c. K. Al ct al.
The first suit was started by the Bow
Wongs after they. had obtained control
of the United Chinese Society, to secure
possession Of $500 which was in the
hands of. the old officers, being the re-
mainder of the fund raised for the re-
lief of the plague sufferers. This they
refused to give to the newly elected Of
ficers and the suit for an accounting
followed This case is now pending in
the circuit court and discontinuance
will be filed today.
The suit of Territory of Hawaii vs. C.
K. Al and the other officers of the Uni
ted Chinese Society was an applica-
Wong officers of the organization. This
suit was decided in favor of the de-
PENDANTS, Judge Gear holding that the
Bow Wongs were legally elected and
could not be disturbed. An appeal was
taken but delayed because of the loss of
the stenographer's notes of the evil
dence; and the court later refused to
grant a new trial. The appeal in the
case will also be withdrawn today.
By the terms of the agreement the
Bow Wong officers now in control of
the United Chinese Society are to re-
main in charge, and rules are provided
for future elections.
The $500 fund is to be turned over to
a committee of nine, of whom five are
Bow Wongs and the remaining four,
members of the Consups party. These
men are c. K. Al, Lau Tong, Ho Fon,
Wong Leong, NJ. G. Amana, Wong
kwai, Vim Quon, L. Akau and E. Wan
Sing All is president, and Ho Fon
treasurer, of the committee, both of
whom are Bow Wongs, while the Con-
suPs party is represented by the secre-
tary, E. Wan Sing. The money is to |
be used in the construction of a brick
building on land owned by the United
chinese Society near the present club
mousse on King street. From the rents
and profits arising from the building
is to be given to the Chinese
Hospital, the other half to be turned
over to the United Chinese Society to
De used for relief work in the future.
Inc agreement between the two fac
'ions marks the end of a long drawneut
war. The former Chinese Consul. yam

attacks of the Bow wongs, and with

factions. AS Wei Pin will never re-
turn as consul, the compromise was
reached without much difficulty. Min
