BLOODY CHINESE WAR ENDS
TONG FEUD, CLAIMING SO LIVES,
CALLED OFF.
Meeting Of Fighting Parties in San
Francisco Results In Suspension
Of HostiIities.

San Francisco, Jan. 6-The blood
lest OF Tong wars that this country
has seen, which originated seven
years ago over Chinese girl and In
which more than SO persons have
been killed and more than double
that number wounded, was declared
off at a meeting of the various longs
held at the rooms of the Six Com
panies in this city.
The trouble started over the sale Of
Wan Len, slave girl, to LUNG, =
member of the Ping Kun Tong, by All
Wong, member of the Hop Sing
Tong. LUNG paid $2,100 for Wan
Len, but All Wong declared that this
was not full payment. AS LUNG re-
fused to pay more, war was declared
between the Ping Kun Tong and the
Hop Sings.
The first case was in Clay street,
and resulted In seven being killed and
ten wounded, and since that time
the fighting has been continuous.
lately the Hop Sings in their desire
to get back the money alleged due
their Tong held up fantan game at
Los Angeles and In the fracas two
members of the Bo Ons. a totally DIFF
ferent and inoffensive Tong, were shot
by the Hop Sings with the result that
fight became general and every Tong
was implicated.
Seeing that the war was liable to
spread too far, the presidents Of the
companies called meeting to set
tie 1t and the upshot of it was that
LUNG was awarded the girl and the Hop
Sings declared to be in the wrong. A
jury of the See Yups seven years ago
rendered a similar verdict.
