wiged between the rivil highbinders
societies in Chlmtown which threatens a
dinger more far reaching and fir more
serious In its effect on the city, the St Ho
and the nillon than the death of half a
dozen Chinese, more or less, or the
stirring up of n local turbulence which
the Hllce find it no easy task to control,
savsthe ChronUtt
The cv cnts of the last week must have
emphislzcd In the minds of every news
paper rcider tlie fact tint any chance
pedestrian through the Chinese quarter
of San I ranclsco lias to run no small
risk of his life. Prudent residents of
the city keep amy from Chinatown un
less they have business there, but not a
diy nor might goes by that one or more
parties of strangers do not make the
tour of the Mongol quarter for the sake
of 'seeing the sights" Suppose, for
tho sako of the argument, that some
prominent stranger, thus sightseeing in
Lliimtown, should fill n victim to the
stray bullet of a murderous highbinder,
what would bo tho result to thecit)?
Surely nueirort would he mule to listen
tho responsibility for such an occurrence
onilic municipal authorities who per
nutted a condition of affairs whero an
accident like tint could occur. Suppose,
agiln, that tlie stringer who might thus
be shot was the accredited represent
tlvs of a foreign government Who
shall say what International complica
tions would follow?
In direct evidence of the reasonable
ness of this suggestion, It need only bo
said that the very risk here suggested
was run in Chlmtown list week. It so
happened that ozino Harrow, I ho lira
zilati World si air commissioner, and
hpeci.it envoy from llrard for the study
of the Chinese question In this city, wit
cscortctl to Chlmtown hy i police
olhcer detailed by chief Cronley, and
that the development of n serious pliaso

lor the commissioner to abandon his trip
II was iletectivu Glennon whu wis
escorting Mr lluroso, nnd they hid
penetrated Into the Chinese quant rs as
far as lickson nnd Dupont streets when
detective Cox signaled Glennon from a
dark iloorwi) , nnd said ' ou had
better tike ) our friend out of here, part
ner e nrc watching lorn highbinder
duel that Is scheduled for hereabouts,
nnd he might sec more of Chinatown
ll an lie wants to ' The distinguished
foreigner at once manifested his desire
to get out of the rcicli of any such dm
gcr, and the continuance of the official
excursion was temporarily postponed as
stated.
. The Police sometimes receive Informa
tion of Projected highbinder conflicts, as
In the case referred to but no one
knows when two murderous highbinders
may not begin firing upon each In broad
diy light and in streets which are crowd
cd with people It will be noticed that
In the case of the murderer last arrested
In connection with the present war the
police Imo a lively hope of sccurhg
corvictlon, since there were anumber of
white witnesses to the shooting the
very presence of these witnesses Is In
further confirmitlon of the danger that
threatens the pul lie safely. Two Chi
nese meet on thesllewilk One draws
a revolver and fires at the other. In this
case fivo bullets are I urled in tlie body
of the highbinder who hid no pistol,
but the records of the police nre full of
Instances where a k.iril fuslllide has
liken place In tlie streets, and not n few
white people hive felt the force of the
stray bullets thus scillcred abroad
At least three police officers have
been killed by highbinders during the
list six vents I he death of OllWr
Osgood and Officer Nicholson will bo re
callcd in this connti t on and it will also
be remembered lint Officer Gllien
a brother of tlie piescnt sergemt of
police of the same name, also met his
deith at tho hands of a highbinder
whom he sought to rescue from the
pranks of n lot of Iks Iwo of these
ofliccrs werctmiirdcreil, and the other,
though perhaps not killed intentionally,
was not the victim of n stray bullet
exactly, but there hue been other
dcittis nnd some nirrow escipcs in
direct Illustration of the danger under
special consideration
About ten years n,o a merchant met
his death by n sli ly title bill inay
down on tlio rorntrof 1 ront nndjick
son Itwas proven I evondn doubt that
the bullet ciuio fro n n highbinder rlllc
fired up on tho liij.lar part of Washing
ton street in Clunito vn A ino-e recent
Instance was the killing of Kellchcr,
Iwo yens ago, at tl corner of Dupont
and Jackson streets. I y Chin ung, who
after several trials, w now serving n life
sentence In Sin ' ucntin It was
claimed thatkcllth rs taking ofl wis
nccidcntil, though it was contended In
court that the highbinder was (.ullty of
murderous intent
Another danger which threatens the
peace of the kmcril community must
hive been lorclbly suggested by the
foregoing ficts Only let one of a pirty
of the tougher clement of whites come
within thu range of a highbinder s bullet
and the police woul I be of no avail In
stemming the tide of revenge that would
sweep through Chlmtown It is povsible
tint the cooler counsel of the better
class of people would prevail against n
proposition of public vengeance In thu
case of the death of a single citizen
from such a cause, but n second fatality
in quick succession would surely result
in n riot Sil I ranclscint nrc n law
abiding people, but their irlevmec
ngauvstlthc Chinese Is ofso long standing
nnd their aggravations havu been so
minynnd so various, tint it would tiku
only n few straws In the way of hle.li
binder murders ct whites to break the
back of publ c patience
As regards the number of murders
openly committed the present high
binder war beats tho record Three
Chinese killed and another badly
wounded within eight davs Is n little
better, or worse, thin has previously
been accomplished, but there have been
mora bitter battles than any that hive
yet tiken place this time About ten
years ago when two other tongswere at
war with each other there were a nun
berof pitched battles engaged ln on the
streets in which n great mary Chinese
took tpart on both sides, but it Is not
known that anybody was killed
There Is undoubtedly a small clement
of comparatively Innocent denizens of
Chinatown wlinareln feir of their own
lives on account of highbinders, and the
history of the societies warrants them In
their fear. Tluce years and a half ago,
In September, 18S9 Tung Wing, a
Chinese girl, 19 years of age. wis killed
on Dupont street because she filled to
piy tribute to tho tongs. She w as going
homo from a restaurant with 1 com
panion when an unknown highbinder
cime out of ndoorwav, shot her twice
and then made good his escape. It
transpired that she had been persecuted
by highbinder ngcnui to pay tribute,
tint alio hid lacked up her refusil with
a complaint to the police nnd had been
killed In revenue for her obstlnicy.
Iwo years later, In November, 1S91 the
bod of a murdered Chinese w is found
111 n clothes basket in Dull Hun alley.
There wis no evidence forthcoming
tint he was a hlshbjnder, and It wis
supposed tint he w is murdered simply
beciuse he lnd become possessed of
some dingerous Information On the
very diy following this discovery nn
other Chinese wns known to have been
killed by the Sue) Sing Tories, one of
the societies now nt war again, but the
body did not fall Into tho hands of the
police. At about the same time Ah 1 o).
n Chinese miner at Auburn was killed
by highbinders nnd Chief Crowley
traced the authority for the crime to a
Sin 1 ranclsco long I here was also 11
highbinder w ir In Los Angeles in 111,
and severil murderers received life sen
fences. In the same yeir John Gibbs,
a white man, was butchered b) n Chinese
hatchet mm In Cum Cook alley for no
apparent reason
The crimes herein before referred to
arc by no means all that are attributable
to tlie highbinders. A book ma) be
written about their murderous oper
ations The police hiva from time to
lime unearthed highbinder conspiracies
when they least expected to do so On
one occasion a Chinese nrrested for a
trivial ollense was found clothed ln n
coit of mail, and under this coat were
found documents which, being triiis
litcd, afforded some my Important
clews On nnother occasion a implclous
looking Chinese wis arrested w Idle read
ing n highbinder bulletin board at a
street corner, nnd on his person was
found a copy of highbinder rules which
proved to lie very useful to the author
ities As a rule, however, lie clever
hljlibinder carries nothing compromis
ing on his person It U onlynoncei
who nrc thus caught nipping. The
different societies hive 1 regular system
of spies They hive Innocent looking
p'ekets stationed at given points to
guard against surprise, and it Is this
svstem which Ins put tho coolies on
their guard agiinst the alley raids, as
shown In Ihe accompanying Illustration
It has frequently been remirkcd tint
I the highbinders seem to prefer the pistol
as n means of assassination Tl o ex
planation of this Is that the highbinder
It theatrical bc)oml anything. Ihc
quiet cutting of n throat hi a dark cor
ner hit no (.lory In it, but If he makes a
great noise and Is seen by a big crowd
assassinating nn enemy in the street ho
Is it nndo highbinder. If he escapes he
Is 1 hero. If he Is caught he is a martyr.
And it liny be stated Just here that
there hive been developed some really
ludicrous Instincts of mirtyrdom In 11
jiuall way during the last few da) s tn
Chinatown The police have been
exercising the privilege of stopping nnd
searching cverv Chinese they care to In
terfcre with In this way dozens of Hie
heathen have been searched, and It Is
almost laughable to see the meekness
w ill which liicy submit to the operitlon
If nothing Le found on them the biggest
policeman In the parly usually holds the
iellow oir nt arm's length nnd bids him
farewell with a terrible kick on the pos
terior, ns a warning against misdoing
nnd as a reminder of the majesty of Hie
law, but the coolie makes not a move
ment In retaliation, says not n word, and
betrays no emotion of any sort what
ever, though he will probably be unable
to sit down for hours.
These vigorous measures hive been
lesorted to on the part of the police as
part of their policy of letting the Chin
cse know that there Is 10 be no trifling
with them, and Chief Crow ley Is Inclined
to bclicvo that Hits policy lias already
hid some good effect lie also cuter
tains the hope that the present outbreak
is now practically sut rested, notwith
standing the fact that the llop Sing
Pongs have killed one mora man thin
thesucy Sings Tlie officers hive so
lnrissed the highbinders by breaking
up their quarters and arresting minyol
tlie ' Intchet men ' that they are pretty
w ell scattered and nre hv Ing singly or In
pairs in ' family ' houses The ' chattels "
who are the main support of the high
binders, Invo also been driven from
their brothels, and, tike the men, nre
spread all over Chinatown in twos and
threes
Iho police officers are being con
stantly blamed for not securing con
victions It i not their f suit The) Iry
hard enough, but the very pco le who
who condemn them for neglect of duty
ill not obtaining a conviction w III aciiuit
Ihc mist villainous looking hlj,hblndi r,
no matter vvh.it evidence the police may
submit If the Chinese only manage to
get In n little conflicting testimony, and
tlicy cannlu i)t do tint 1 ven if one
ho convicted ho can obtain n new trhl
by some technicality of the hw This
mikes Ihcm bold, and they don't fear
the law. As one Chinese raid once:
China hw number one, Lnglisli law
number two, Mcllcan liw go to hellce."
Tint was the strongest way In which he
could exprest his contempt for our In
still lions lint bight Inders are not only
gamblers and hoodlums J tills four
fifths of the cooks in private houses be
