Hles where an ivory ball resides within

Elizabeth street police station. discovered
yesterday two tOngs within a tong. Luna
Kong Kung Soy and Lung Ten Kung Soy,
the old men and the young. are the two
eaoteric societies In tho -Four Brothers
whose existence was unknown outsids
tho Chinese themselves till yesterday
IL fairly dauntsd Big BIZ when he ars'
heard % thess two new obstacles TO con.

murmur around the Elizabeth street sta.
iion house. Il was Lieut. Ernest l., b

Lung Kong Kung Soy is the organza-

with pleasure. Lang Tien Kung Soy 10
the name Of the 200 or 500 young men
in the Four Brothers who, say all with one
accord. have done all the shooting and
who do not banker TO sign any treaty
restricting the right TO shoot first. Each
kung Soy has its own officers and while
both are -Four Brothers and each defends
the other each also acts for itself.
Il was Big Bill HOdgins's idea 10 have
Sam Lock and eight men from the -Four
Brothers, with Tom Lee and eight On
LeOngs 60 with him to-day before Judge
Warren W. Foster and strike a peace.
Big Bill stood yesterday In the middle
Of Pell street when Sam Lock came along
and told him that he and eight others
would be ready 20 sign to-day. Where
upon BiR Bill trudged down 10 Mott stree,
and tackled Tom Lee. Mr.. lee stalled.
First he Opined that Prince Tsai Tao would
be down to-day. Then he spoke OF his
endless distrlst Of Sam Lock. Il wasn Z
until Jim Gam. secretary of On l.eOng
Tong. vouchsafed the information about
the two branches of the -Four Brothers
that Capt HOdgibs got bearings TO shape
a course.

Sam Lock came from San Francisco
Here to-day. gone tomorrow. His sigma
ture is useless Il will not hind the men
in Lung Tien Rung Soy. A for the old
men. Lung Kong Kung Soy. they arr oil
right but 90 sign a treaty with them
means nothing They are not the evil
doors
Capt Hodgins srnt word 10 Chu Lock
to come around Chu Lock sent hack
word that he would visit the station house
all alone Il was af'erWard ascprtained
that be- didn't want 10 talk before Sam

AZ the station house & hu Lock said that
he vas one Of the hfty-four -Four Rrnthers

the trouble came hetween -Four Brothers
and On leong he and his companions.

That man shall die
The unfortunate Chu Lock. hy his own
story hated by On lyeong distr'isted bv
Pour Brothers. was lot GO after he had
declared he had nothing n do with the
gunner. He admitted that u was one
Of h. mates IN Tien who tore down the
peace proclamation and spoiled peace
forever
The signing Of q formal treaty seems
hopeless. Both factions in -Four Brothers
would have TO sign There h little chance
that the liens would consent The On
songs frankly do not want TO sign
They assert that three the -Four Brothers
backed out and that thrice -Four Brothers
men tore down preliminary prOclama-
tons Moreover both sides are anxious
that the Chinatown merchants should
guarantee peace by large sums ~ money
In San Francisco. where the SIX Com
