Hn Sings will put up their surety. Then

srsbed for the third time and the incident
vill positively be closed.
Eyerything should have been completed
,ss,erday afternoon but the Hip Sings
didnt so understand. Judge Foster ex-
pected that the signers Of the treaty would
snpear and acknowledge their signatures
.rd that both sides would file their bonds.
Then he was going to make speech giving
Nth tongs some good advice. He made
the speech anyway.
The On Leongs showed up at 4 o'clock
Nth their lawyers, and Alderman Ware,
counsel for the Hip Sings appeared with
one Of the Hip Sing delegates. The others
had to he sent for and didn't appear until
as o'clock. In the meantime, Lawyer
Ware and the Judge agreed that Chinatown
had been the scene Of much less strife than
usual in the last two weeks. since peace
negotiations had been going on.
While they we're waiting the On Leong
bondsman Samuel Kahn of the Occidental
Hotel. qualified and signed his liability for

made very sure that Morris g bond was good
tefore he agreed to it. He wasn't taking
snychances and wasn't willing to admit that
there was no possibility that the bond might

the proceedings gave the impression that
he didn't take such a great deal OF stock in
the promises of the wicked Hip Sings, any
way
Then all who had signed the treaty were
called up before the Judge and all declared
their signatures genuine. DR.. Tong, Judge
Foster and President Singleton OF the
Reform Association signed as witnesses
s the four copies OF the treaty and then
was done except the filing Of the Hip Sing
bond, which would be very simple matter.
Until it was filed. however, the On Leongs
would not be held responsible for theirs,
be said.
Then he delivered a valedictory. He
was glad that the eff rorts of all hands for
peace had heen crowned with success and
be hoped that the provisions Of the treaty,
would be we'd up to. 1t all depended
upon the Cinnamon present. he said,
whether the agreement was kept or not
and whether Chinatown's old reputation
for evil was replaced by one for goodness
and respect for the law. The Judge used
the word If several times when he spoke
Of the enforcement Of the treaty and some
Of his hearers got the impress on that he
wasn't so sure as he had been that it was
gong to take.
He said that the trouble wou stop II
the practice Of carrying revolvers ceased
and declared himself n favor OF Furnishing

out much delay. The On Leong dele
CATION reached there first, headed by De-
nosthenes Dinnean.
Here" yelled Alderman Ware to him,
the signers OF the treaty ought to shake
hands.
Oh rats!" replied Dinnean. He hus-
tied his charges into the elevator and the
