THE CONSULATE GUARDED
See Yups Are Now Quiet, but
an Outbreak Is Hourly
Expected.
TEN CHINESE NOW IN CUSTODY.
Consul-General Ll and President
Lee of the Sam Yups Are
■..'.-/* in Danger. *

The Chinese fight is still in progress in
Chinatown. It is not a highbinder war, be-
WHERE THE MEMBERS OF THE SEE TUP WERE ARRESTED.
cause the highbinders have nothing what
ever to do with it. There is not even a sem
blance of the well-known fueds in the
present instance, but the law of an eve for
an eye and a tooth for a tooth is being
enforced. It is a question of clan against
clan, which the police consider all the
more perilous.
Nearly all the Chinese in California are
Cantonese. The Sam Yups are financially
the most powerful company, but the See
Yups have the numbers. The latter are
composed of the Ning Yuens from the Sun
Ning district, the Kwong Chows from the
Sun Wai district, the Hop Wos from the
Hoy Peng district and the Shuey Hings
from Yen Peng district. The two latter
were formerly one company, but recently
they have split and formed two societies.
Besides these there are two other societies
in one combination called the Young Wo |
and Yen Wo.*" These are in no way j
identified with the fight, so that in reality :
it is a war to the death between the Sam
Yups and the See Yups.
The peculiar part of the whole matter is
that neither Mook Tai, the man accused of
murder, and Chong Wai, who was shot,
are of any consequence. The former
was a servant for a family in the Mission,
while the latter was a cook. The clans
took it up, however, the Consul-General
was drawn into it, household was arrayed
against household and all Chinatown
settled into a state of armed neutrality.
The fight broke out last Wednesday
night, but Sergeant Shea and his posse
aided by the re-enforcement sent down by
Chief Crowley has been able to keep the
mob in control.
Chief Crowley detailed extra men to
serve in Chinatown, and when they ar
rived Sergeant Shea placed a man on every
street corner.
The arrest of the ten members of the Lee
Yups depressed that delightful society
and when the police fixed the bail at $50 in
HIGHBINDERS IN ANTICIPATION.
each case they were still more surprised.
To give bail in one case was easy enough,
but wnen it came to ten and perhaps
twenty and no Sam Yup merchants to
offer assistance it became a different ques
tion, so the following notice was posted all
over Chinatown :
Make no more disturbances. The case
of Mock Tai has : been postponed. Do
not deal with the Sara Yups, but get
your goods elsewhere. Boycott . them.
That Is the better way. Ten of our men
were arrested this afternoon and we do
not want that to happen again. We want
you to keep quiet and we will win in the
end. Keep quiet and do not strike until
ordered.
Needless to say there were no more ar
rests.
Chinatown was almost deserted last
evening. The theaters were very slimly
attended and few Chinese loitered on the
Streets. The guides and special policemen
were on the alert, and no two of them ever
left their districts at the same time. Chief
Crowley had a number of extra men in
three of the alleys and a "special" who
knows every highbinder in Chinatown
kept watch and ward over the consulate. ".
Should it ever come to open warfare the
lives of Consul-General Li Yuen Yeu and
the president of the Sam Yups, Lee Li
Chuen, will be in danger, as they are
blamed for the whole trouble. The pre
liminary trial of Mock Tai will bring the
matter to a head. |g_SH(_>^
■ "If this trouble is not settled, and that
speedily, some of the best blood in China
town will be shed," said Lyman J. Mowry
in talking about the matter. t "This is not
a highbinder warfare, but a case of tong
against tong, and the feeling is bitter. - For
the first time in the history of Chinatown
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 1895.
the Consul has been insulted. Eggs have
been thrown at him, and his escort pelted
with garbage. Nothing but blood can wine
out the insult, and sooner or later the
blood will flow.
"In 1878 there was almost a similar war
fare. The merchants and the working peo
ple were opposed to each other. As a re
sult thirty men were murdered before a
truce was called. More fighting and mur
dering is now at hand."
. The case of Mook Tai, charged with the
murder of Chong Wai at Washington and
Stockton ■ streets, a few weeks ago, was
called in Judge Conlan's court yesterday
morning. When the court opened about
200 Chinese were waiting in the corri
dor and streamed into the courtroom.
Judge Conlan looked surprised, at the in
flux Chinese, and asked Attorney Rior
dan, who is special prosecutor, what was
the matter. The attorney replied that the
Chinese were evidently friends of the
prisoner and there might be trouble.
The Judge immediately ordered Bailiff
Kelly and Policeman Bean to clear the
courtroom of the Chinese, which was
promptly done. The Chinese stood in the
corridor and talked excitedly among them
selves. .
Attorney Riordan said that under the
circumstances he would suggest that the
hearing of the case should" be postponed
till Monday, as in view of the excitement
in Chinatown and the presence in the cor
ridor of so many Chinese it would not be
safe to proceed. S_^_f
The Judge acted upon the suggestion of
Attorney Riordan and continued the case
till Monday.
FOR MORE IMPROVEMENT
The Merchants' Association
Discusses Several Bene
ficial Measures.
A Proposition to Remove All Signs
and Obstructions From the
Streets.
Every member of the board of directors
of the Merchants' Association was present
at the semi-monthly meeting yesterday.
A report was made that two of the street
sweepers had been knocked down and
injured, one by a butcher's cart and the
other by a Geary-street cable car. Messrs.
Freud, Osborne, Doane and Fusenot were
appointed to see that the injured employes
were properly taken care for, and that they
were compensated for their injuries if the
driver and gripman were to blame for the
accidents.
Edward S. Spear & Co. of 31 Sutter street,
and Benjamin Cohen of 435 Montgomery
street, became members of the association.
Consulting Engineer Ernest McCullough
was authorized to contract such bills as
were necessary to cover the expenses of
a paving exposition at tbe Mechanics'
Institute Fair.
The committee on trade and finances
was instructed to obtain suggestions from
the members of the association upon such
matters as they are interested in person
ally.
The committee on public affairs was in
structed to endeavOr to have the Super
visors straighten out the tangle regarding
the July, sweeping bill of $8000.
Notice was given that at the next meet
ing the subject of removing all sign boards
on and projecting over the sidewalks will
be discussed. A plan suggested is that the
merchants will . call upon all owners of
such obstructions and have them remove
their signs. The association -proposes to
gradually cause the removal of all obstruc
tions, in the streets, telephone and tele
graph wires included.
Suit Against the Flint Estate.
J. C. MacDougal) of Han Diego filed a com
plaint in the Superior Court yesterday demand
ing $335 for the board and care of William C.
Flint during the latter's; illness. The suit is
directed against Mrs. Annie G. Flint, the ad
ministratrix of the estate. Mr. Flint died on
January 25, 1891, and there was a contest of
bis will, an estate of about $20,000 being in
volved. The MacDougall claim was rejected
by the executor of the estate.
Cut on the Scalp.
A. W. Russell, a switchman, living at 708
Seventh street, quarreled with a woman named
Lizzie O'Brien in 'a lodging-house on Seventh
and Mission streets yesterday afternoon. The
woman seized a caseknifo and inflicted an ugly
wound in Russell's scalp. He was taken to the
Receiving Hospital, where the wound "• was
dressed and stitched by Dr. Fitzgibbons.
WILL NOT PAY LICENSES.
Bicycle -Dealers Organize to
Fight the Quarterly Tax
of $15.
A TEST OF THE ORDINANCE.
The Association Will Also Trace
Stolen Bicycles and Prose
cute Thieves.
The owners of cycleries in this City have
determined to resist the payment of the
quarterly license - fee ;of $15 which was
recently imposed the License Commit
tee of the Board of Supervisors, and , they
have formed an organization to fight the
matter in the courts.
Yesterday morning about eighty of the
small bicycle-dealers and representatives
of all the wholesale houses dealing in
"wheels" met at a bicycle-shop at Golden
Gate avenue and Leavenworth street and
effected a permanent organization, of
which Samuel Backus was elected presi
dent and A. Lobe secretary. ;
The new organization' is called the San
Francisco Bicycle-dealers' Protective Asso
ciation. Its primary object is to raise a
fund to be used for defense in case any
arrests of dealers are made for refusing to
pay the license. There will be no lack of
money, either, for one wholesale house
subscribed $1000, "and it is said that $10,000
or $15,000 can be raised at short notice
should so much be necessary.
"The fact of the matter is," said H. P.
Wynne, who conducts a small bicycle
store, "that there is a distinct prejudice in
certain quarters against the man who
rides a wheel.
"It is not that we object to paying a
license on our business, but we object to
paying one anywhere near as large as $15.
I know men in this City who receive $50 to
$150 a day whose license is not nearly so
large, and" it is not just that a man who
takes in from $4 to $10 a day from the
rental of wheels should be forced to pay
such a tax, especially when the great wear
and tear on his stock is considered.
"Another thing, the rate of $15 is set as
a minimum and if we do not fight that it
will jump to $30 or more very soon. The
thine is unjust and should be stopped now
as well as any time. ,/.
"In attempting to collect this license
Mr. Lees has got himself very much dis
liked.
•'We went before the License Committee
to get the license reduced, and there -met
with the prejudice against wheelmen
which 1 spoke' of. Supervisor King was
very impatient. He wanted to know if
it was not owing to the wheels that the
Market-street Railroad had been forced to
THE STEAMER MINE OLA TOWING IN THE BIG HAFT, THE FIRST TO ENTER THIS HARBOR.
I [Sketched by a " Call " artist.]
take off so many of its cars recently. That
sounded sort of queer, didn't it? Then he
wanted to know 'who these wheelmen are,
any way.' General Backus replied that
tbey were taxpayers, and that every one of
them had a vote. That shut King up in a
hurry, and for the rest of the time we were
there he had not a word to say."
The protective feature of the new organi
zation is to be directed against bicycle
thieves. When a wheel is stolen a tracer
or association detective will look it up and
the organization will prosecute the guilty
party. Individual riders may join the as
sociation and share its protective benefits
by the payment of $1 yearly. '•
TO ORGANIZE THE STATE.
The Civic Federation Will Open
Headquarters in Every *
County.
An Effort to Be Made to Cain
Control of the Next
Legislature.
The Civic Federation has decided to ex
tend its influence in the political arena of
California. The '. society will organize in
every section of the State.
This plan of action was determined upon
after the executive ' committee of the so
ciety had investigated the feasibility of the
undertaking." The officers of the society
say ■' they, have fully realized that to be
come a potential factor in politics they
must have the political *; support of the
country voters behind them.
. Secret conference meetings of the federa
tion are held daily. The subject lof ex
tended organization has received the thor
ough consideration of this committee.
Before the next campaign the Civic Feder
ation expects to have headquarters in
every county and representatives in every
political precinct of the State. '
The campaign will be carried on in be
half of political reform. The farmers will
be urged to vote for the federation's
candidates.
'. George T. Gaden is one of the leaders in
the new movement. He has realized that
if the organization is 3 going to accomplish
anything in breaking up the corrupt politi
cal rings of this City, the federation must
have a sufficient number of representatives
in the Legislature. '.'"
When Mr. Gaden was spoken to upon
the question 'of the society extending its
field, of action he admitted that such a
course : had been decided upon ; and that
there was a committee drawing up new by
laws for the society. "
■ "I have," said Mr. Gaden, ' "come to the
conclusion that this will be the only basis
to tight municipal corruption and to secure
for the Mayor of the City of San Francisco
complete control of all the City depart
ments. The federation will make another
fight for the new charter before the Legis
lature wnich will be elected next year."
The society's work is hindered to a great
extent by the absence of Irwin J. Truman,
the president. 7 He is an accepted juror in
the Durrant case. Representatives of the
federation have made repeated trips to the
country. They have come back with
favorable reports, in all instances. The
farmers, these representatives state, are
ready to assist the movement.
W. D. Case Jr., the secretary of the
federation, has visited several of the small
towns in behalf of the society. He would
not talk upon the subject. Mr. Case would
but confirm the statement that the society
had finally decided to organize for political
reform over all the State. It is not the
intention of the federation members to
put up candidates for election, at present.
This action will depend largely on their
success at the coming election.
HIS SKULL FRACTURED.
Edward Falkner Sandbagged and
Robbed. "While Asleep in the
' Southern Pacific Yards.
While asleep in the yards of the South
ern Pacific Railroad Company at Fourth
and Kentucky streets yesterday morning
Edward Falkner was struck on the head
with a coupling-pin and 60 cents and a
knife were taken from his pockets.
He was taken to the Receiving Hospital
in the ambulance in an unconscious con
dition. Dr. Weil found that he was suf
fering from a fracture at the base of the
skull which might prove fatal. When
Falkner regained consciousness he said he
came from Tennessee a short time ago in
search of work.
THE FIRE BOAT MARKHAM
It Will Nln Future Be Used
Only For Protecting
State Property.
As a Result, Hose Company No. 1
Has Been Organized as an
Engine Company.
The Fire Commissioners and the Harbor
Commissioners have had a falling out
about the fireboat Governor Markham.
During the Scott & McCord fire at the foot
of Steuart street, on September 13, 1894,
Harbor Commissioner Chadbourne ordered
the fireboat away after all danger to the
property of the State was passed. Since
then there has been a disposition to take
the fireboat away at all fires on the water
front, and now the captain has received in
structions not i to respond to any fire
alarms except when • State property is en
dangered on the waterfront between Chan
nel street on the south and Powell street
on the north. '■'•
Hose company 1 has been attached to
the fireboat, and as the instructions of the
Harbor Commissioners make their ser
vices unnecessary the Fire Commissioners
at their meeting' yesterday afternoon or
ganized the hose "company into engine
company 30, to be stationed at Ashbury
Heights, it" will be of much greater
service for the protection of property of
citizens. M. J. Roderiques was appointed
engineer of the company, Thomas Brown
and Thomas Jones extramen, and all the
old members of the hose company, nine in
number, have been transferred to the new
engine company. >.'.'"
The resignations of Michael Ryan, fire
man of engine 28, and William Hart, tire
men of engine 3, were accepted. A. J.
Himmelman was appointed to succeed
Ryan and William Byrnes to succeed
Hart.
William Waters was promoted from fore
man of truck 3 and John Wilson from
foremen of truck 1, to be engineers of the
steam tire engines for relief purposes.
Both were detailed to act as assistant en
gineers. Frank McCluskey and Ken
nedy, assistant foreman of truck 1 ; and
truck 3 respectively, were promoted to be
foremen. F. Petorious was appointed
truckman of truck 3 and N. Kennedy truck
man of truck 1.

AT METER BATES.
The City of Alameda in Difficulty Over
Electric-Light Charges. .
Additional trouble with the municipal
electric-light plant is being experienced in
Alameda on account of difficulty in regu
lating the charges. No adequate record of
the past five or six months, covering the
entire period of the enterprise, hasheen
kept, and the time of the beginning of ac
counts has necessarily been left mainly to
the statements of the patrons.
J. J. Balentine, who has been adjusting
the affairs in connection with the plant,
says that many of the patrons insist on
having meters, and the providing of these
will prove an important additional ex
pense. The meters cost $12 each, and some
of the patrons , have demonstrated that
their meter rates would not exceed 35 cents
a month.* It is believed, nevertheless, that
when placed ; on j a '■ ; satisfactory ; business
basis the plant will prove a paying venture
and the city will have an excellent illumi
nation system. -7 . j ■'■_'■':,'■.'■''
