Washington, Nov. 6. - Negotiations

I Rochester, N. Y, Nov. 6.-In riot
which occurred a mile east of Egypt,
near this city, yesterday, one man was

New York; Chinatown Likely to Wit

New York, Nov. 9. = The old feud
between the On Long Tong and the
Hop Sing Tong highbinders in China
town has reached white heat. That
duels and deadly duarrels may be ex-
pected at any time is shown by anoth
er encounter between members of the
two clans yesterday, when two detec-
tives found three members of the So
cieties in a free fight. All were armed.
but the prompt interference prevented
shooting. Agents of reform society
which is trying to put down gambling
in Chinatown said that the war be-
tween the two societies could hardly
be controlled. An open fight might be
looked for at any time. He added
that the police were leagued with the
On Long Tong, who take sides with
the gamblers and against the Hop
Sing Tong, which has aided the re-
form society.

similar to the Lexow revelations OF
