1897 but a travesty upon the same and there is a likelihood of an outbreak at any mo- ment upon the slightest provocation or none at all. The situation is positively alarming— more so than ever before—because the contending factions insiead of being ittle siae ramifications as in days gone by are the two representatives of the entire Cbi- nese popuiation. Four-fifths of the latter are among the poorer classes from thedis- tant prozinces far outside of Canton. They are the See Yups. They are made up principally of the Sun Wing, Sun Woy, Hoy Ping and Ying Ping families. Only a few days agoa member of the latter family was shot down and killed on Jackson street, ten minutes after he had engaced it & wordy war with friends of Little Pete, in whose gambling-house the disagreement occurred. The other faction—the Sam Yups—con- sists mainly of the Poon Yee, Sing Duck and Nam Hoy families, residents of Can- ton or its immediate suburbs. These are the wealthy Chinese here and among whom Little Pete was the leading light. The See Yups, strong in their numerical position, chafed under the yoke of the Sam Yups and, a year ago, they withdrew from the Chinese Bix Companies, em- ployed Campbeli, Reddy and Metson to set them rizht in & legai way and imme- diately set about incorporating firms in every line of business calculated to be in opposition to the Sam Yups. It was the old story of the boycott, with more horrors than such aff.irs have sver brought about iu the old worid. Murderaf- ter murder has been committed until the wealthy men have mostly withdrawn their capitai from the channels of commerce, leaving the See Yups and their new estab- lishments in power. Almost alone Little Pete braved the opposition. His shoe manufacturing firm, under the name of J. C. Peters & Co., the largest and most pros- perous 1n Chinatown, refused to close its doors. His gambling interests were great enough to help him financially to tide over the lack of patronage and income caused by the boycoit, and he felt strong enough to again rally about him the weak ones among the Sam Yups to eventually down the contending faction. Guarded day and night by four Chinese, two of whom were well-known “fighting men,” and one white man named C. H. Hunter, a special policeman, Little Peie nursed himseli into a feeling of security. He becam-« reckless (o the extent of going forth alone af times, chaffing bis guards with kindly meant assertions that they acted like so many old women, and that | there was no danger that any one would 1ry to molest him. But Pete went out alone once too often. He was watched by bis assassins and most cruelly put to death when he was found to be unprotected. However, his death will not end the feud. Chinatown is afire w passion and venom. The wealthy Sam Yups, with | as little regard for social customs and the rieht of individuals to live their allotted | lease of lifz as have their enemies,are | already sending out to interior towns for fighting men who will come here and | stand off, if notannihilate,the hizhbinders | in and employed by the See Yups. Placards in flaniing red are posted on the bulletin boardsin the Mongolian quar- ter. They make most interesting read.ng, no doubt, for the dirty scum of Chinatown gathers about with bloodshot eyes and nervously twitching fingers, drinking in ibeir meaning. The police break up these gatherings as often as tney occur. Still, the scatiered vermin, with nothing but gain to be se- cured by murder and rapine, go down the street a littis turther and read the incendi- | ary posters there. | i | hese Chinese anarchists, belonging to either faction or to neither, quarrel and glare at eacn other with murderous looks and would weicome the opportunity to cut throats at to much a cut.” All Chinatown knows this and so do the police, who suggest to the white popu- lation to refrain for & while irom offering themselves as targets to stray bullets that may fly at any moment between the warring Chinese. That the venom displayed between the Yups is more acrid than any heretofore engendered, is apparent irom the fact that it has come to the surface at this time, | Usually, the Chinese bury the hatchet in January, and seldom if ever do they attempt or do murder jast prior to or during their New Year holidays. Their festivals will begin on February 1 and, under circumstances less aggravated than those existing, Little Pete might have expected one more month’s lease of life. The crack of the pistol has been heard, however, Little Pete is dead, and the lifo of his friend, King Ow Yang, the Vice- Consul, is threatened, so it is not likely that the spirit of assassination will stay put with the funeral of the last victim on Tuesday next. 1t King Ow Yang manages to make bis exit from this worid of care and strife with no physical disfigurement he will have accomplished much, if the signs of the times speak for anything. But this tact is not worrying the Consul-General a lit-| tle bit. “There are many more men in China capable of filling this office,” he remarkep with a laugh. “If they succeed 1n laying me beneath the sod somebody else with perhaps a less amiable disposiiion may be sent to fill the office.’ Bt AT THE MORGUE. Pathetic Visit of the Widow and Her Little Boy. The officials at the Morgue were be- sieged by hordes of visitors all during the day. Seldom has a murder case attracted such a multitude of inquirers as that of this notable Chinaman, and the curiosity- mongers clamored to gaze at his body. In this they were mostly disappointed. It was a strange aggregation oi human- ity that called at the City’scharnel-nouse. They were not all prompte¢ by morbid curiosity. Hundreds of his Chinese friends called to gaze at their dead com- rade. They made no complaint when they were iniormed the body was not on exhibition. Stolidly they retraced their steps. There were white men among the callers, too, men ot influence and promi- nence in the community. They uad had business dealings with the littie nabob of the Uhinese quarter and they were not ashamed to cail nim their friena. They lingered to tell anecdotes of the little Cele-tial, and they illustrated traits in his character which his public record has not hitherto disclosed. “I have known Little Pete for years,” said Robert Ferral. “I have prosecuted him and he has been my ciient, but I have never once known him to break his word.” It was a ic scene when Fong Ching’s widow, his_brotber, Fong Shun, and the decedeut’s little boy called at the Morgue. When Peie was stricken he bad on his person a gold watch, 8 mag- nificent diamond ring and a few trinkets. ‘The Coroner did not desire to be the custodian of these articles any longer than possibie, but, to protect himself, hi refused to deliver them to any one but the widow. Accompanied by iwo women iriends, her brother and her little boy, she called /0 claim ber husband’s property. The widow is not prepossessing from a Caucasian point of view. She is short of stature, inclined to fleshiness and plain of feature, With the stolidity of her race she ap- proached the Coroner'sdesk, She watcned with no apparent emotion while one by one her husband’s effects were counted outand receipted for. Mechanicully she put ber hand to the pen us the Coroner's deputy guided it to make her mak, The trinkets were placed in a paper-bag, all but the dismoud ring. It conisived & Iy Little Pete Was Very Proud of This Picture, Which Shows Himself, the Second From the Left, and All of His Near Relatives. The deputy hesitated about placing it in so frail a receptacle. The woman’s hand rested on his desk and he slipred the ring on her finger. She ' eid it up and gazed at it a moment. Thering had been con- stantly worn upon ner husband’s finger. Perhapsit recalled memories which even a Mongolian woman cherishes as sacred. It opened the floodgate of her tears. She shrieke ! her criei and feill writhing upon the floor. Her female companions joined in_ her wailings, and the brother stood helplessly by, while tears rolled down his face. At the Morgue the attendants are accustomed to scenes of grief, but as the mourning woman was gently urged away by her friends the conversation did not re- sume its usual frothy strain. Such grief, even in a little woman of an unpopular race, commanded respect. e THE AUTOPSY. Three Wounds, Any One of Which Would Have Caused Instant Death. The autopsy, which was zonducted by Dr. Morgan, showed that one more bullet had entered the body than was at first supposed. One bullet entersd about one inch from the right eye and emerged at the back of the neck. Another entered in the corner of the right eye. These two wounds met in the brain and, by a re- markable coincidence, both emerged from the same hole. The unsuspected wound was through the heart. The bullet had entered on the left side, between the third and fourth ribs. It had passed through the left lung, the heart and the liver, and was found imbedded right under the skin in the small of the back. % Anyone of the wounds would have ed instantaneous death. This is a re- markable circumstance when the usual erratic style of highbinder shooting 1s considered. Grmreies FUNERAL PREPARATIONS. | No Expense Spared In the Prelimi- nary Arrangements. Immediately upon the completion of the autopsy the body was taken to the undertaking establishment on Sacramento street of Nathaniel Gray & Co. preparations were made for & funeral as befited the financial standing of the de- ceased. A metallic casket covered with broadcloth, the best the establishment af- forded, was procured. ‘fwo apparently similar caskets were shown the brother. One was held at §175, the other at $200. Without inquiring the intrinsic difference between the two the brother stated the $200 one was what he wanted. An order has been placed with a Chi- | nese tailor for the finest burial raiment Chinatown can produce. The crowning| elory of his interment outfit will be a con- sular cap ornamented with a huge gold knob, one of the kird in which the nobil- ity of China are buried. The funeral will be held ro-morrow, prob- ably at1 o'clock. The arrangaments for the ceremonies have not yet been made, but they will undoubtedly be elaborate. After the funeral the body will be placed in a vault, where it wiil remain until the widow is ready to returrt. with it to China. This cannot be much short of a year, as the widow must remain until the estate is settled up. —_—— IN CONSTANT DANGER. Little Pete’'s White Guard Tells of the Highbinders’ Vigilance. C. H. Huuter has been in constant at- Here | tendance on Little Pete for a month. Pete also had four Mongolian guards, but one white man is considered more effective than a dozen Chinese, as the yellow as- sassins do notdo murder in the presence of white witnesses. Experience has taught them that the evidence which they can always produce in unlimited quantities does not cut much figure with white juries when opposed by tne testi- mony of a white man. “Of late,” said Hunter, ‘I have been contemplating giving up my job because of Pete's recklessnessand his often-expressed contempt of the value of my services. “There is no more danger of my being hurt than there is of you,’ he would say. “In spite of this the fact thata price was on his head worried him, and of late he has been rather ill-tempered. Last night he sent me to get a copy of the Sporting Worid and said he was going to get shaved. I told him not togoasit was dangerous. He cursed me and said there was no danger. He was killed while I was away.” Hunier says that men have several times tried to get the drop on Pete since he has been in his employ. “Only last week.” he said, “a man rubbed up against me to see if I .ad a weapon. I gave him a shove and_four other men showed hos- tility. I had to hit one on the head with my revolver before they would desist.” S WHY HE BRIBED POLICEMEN Little Pete’s Bold Acknowledgment to Hls Attorney and the Court. The extraordinary cleverness of Fong Ching, the Chinaman who was murdered Saturday night, was never so well evinced as upon his trial on a charge of bribery as far back as 1886, when he was but a lad of 21 years of age. In t ose aays Little Pete, as he was better known even among his Chinese ac- quaintances, was a power in that quarter where the heathen most congregate. With power in those days, as at the present time, there went a certain element- of danger. Pete, realizing this, imported a notorions highbinder named Lee Chuck to_act as his bodyguard. | "Not eatisfied with preventing others from murdering his master, Chuck went | a-gunning himself one day 'on Washing: ton street, exactly opposite the place where Peie was assassinated Saturday. He killed his man, and after several years of detention fend'mz numerous trials he was eventually and satisfactorily banged. Little Pete stood nobly by his body- guard until the last, bringing to his all his cunning and using his sack quite liberally where it could do the most zood. On August 5, 1886, Policeman John B. Martin, now a sergeant on the force, ar- rested Pete, chargine bhim_ with attempt- ing to bribe Polic men Burr Love and Con O’Sullivan with $400 to assist in clear- ing Lee Chuck. The offer, it was claimed, was made in the back room of a saloon at Clay and Stockton streets. Attorneys Hall MoAllister and Bergin were for the defense and they were as- tounded at the deciaration made to them by this bit of a Chinese boy. “Now, I will tell you, gentlemen,”” =aid Pete, “I'm no lawyer and that’s why I re- tain you. But I do know this: I stand alone against two policemen who will swear I offered them $400, therefore I will not be believed. Now, I want to go on the stand and confess that [ not only offered them the money, but that they took it.” This rxtraordlnl{{ plea, the most re- markableAttorney McAllister had ever had submitted to him, was out of the question until Litule Pete convinced his attorneys that he was right. “Gentlemen,” he continued, “you are not as well acquainted with the pol ce de- partmentas [ am. They have been black- mailing every Chinaman in Chbinatown for years, and it is not a question of right or wrong with them; it is ‘how much money do we get ?' ‘Yes, gentlemen, I paid those officers a bribe, but it was honestly done, as I asked them to take the money end only testify to the truth. The truth is all I wanted of them, and I thought' $400 would be enough for them to teli that, but it was not. They came back for more money, and when I refused their demands they not only convicted my iriend but ar- rested me.” Little Pete, whose English was as per- fect s any American’s, told the above story in court before a jury and Judge Toohy. Tue jury disagreed and upon a subsequent trial Pete was convicted. Upon the latter vccasion the Judge’s charge Was a virtual instruction to the jury that Pete be found guilty, as a China- man’s word could not bear the same weight as that of a white man, Upon the latter showing the Supreme Court granted Pete another trial, at which he was acquitted. In the mean time, however, Pete suffered eighteen months’ incarceration in the Folsom Penitentiary. Subsequently Pete was arrested on a charge of embracery in connection with this same matter of Lee Chuck, but He secured an acquittal. In those days Chris Buckley, the Demo- cratic boss, was in power. Poie had named him the ‘Blind White Devi ‘While searching Little Pete’s safe during his incarceration the police obtained con- siderable evidence showing that Buckley and Pete were doing business, and one letter in particular, or, rather, acopy of it, from Pete to Quang Chic, told the story of the former's refusal to any longer submit to Buckley’s demands. That Little Pete was a man of great bysiness acumen, as well as a heavy-weight thinker and general schemer, needs no better ilustration than the Hourishing condition of his estate. His attorney, Tnomas D. Riordan, who has been his legal adviser during more than a decade, tells how his client was clever enough to take advantage of all the | meeting-room, benetfits to be gained both in this country and in China. Here he had but about $50,000 invested. This amount was suffi- cient for him to carry on his large shoe establishment and other enterprises. n China, however, Pete had nearly swo,oSo invested in artificial fish ponds, the in- dustry there that pays even better than the cultivation of tea or rice. In fact, itis claimed :hat Little Pete’'s profits on his fishing investment amounted to more than 7 per cent. Pete was a great lover of American methods and particularly of the life- insurance plan in vogue here. He ire- quently spoke to his friends, saying that he would deem himself a benefactor of his race if he estublished life insurance among his people. He corried a rather heayy line of insurance upon his own life, the beneficiary being his brother, Fong Shun, Pete had a great reverence for his old mother in China and cared for her in good style. He also thought very much of his wife, who lived with him ‘in this City up to the time of his death. Contrary o the usual custom of white men who insure for the benefit of their wives, Pete followed the custom of his race and his brother was made the bene- ficiary. The condition of his estate would have been different, however, had his eld- est son been of age. This not being the case the entire estate must revert to the WASHINGTON STREET DOOR Diagram of the Barb:r-Shop Where Little Pete Was Murdereds The Cross (X) Marks the Spot dazzling brilliant of exiraordinary. value.

Following the usual custom of the Chi- nese, Little Pete leit no will. “That is not strange,’” stated Attorney Riordan, when asked aboutithe matter yesterday. *“As far back as I can remem- ber, Dr. Li Po Tai is the only Chinaman who has ever died here who made a festa- ment according to our laws. That was propably on account of the tremendous boldings of his estate in these parts. “The custom of the Chinese is greatly according to the old English law which provides that the estate of the deceased shall go to the eldest child who, if not of age, cannot enter 1nto its possession until the proper time. The esiate in such cases goes to brother or parents of the deceased in trust.” SRR BREAKING UP THEIR DENS. The Police Have Started Demolish- ing the Different Strongholds of the Highbinders. Serzeant Mooney and posse last evening opened the battle of the police against the highbinders and as a result many a fight- g Mongolian felt a twinge of pain with- out tne pleasure of seeing the red gore flow or hearing the bark of the murderous revolver. Early in the evening the headquarters of the Quong Hon Tong, Brenham place and Clay street, was raided by the squad. Here an excited crowd of pagans was ;fllhemd discussing the murder of Little ete. The congregation soon scattered, how- ever, when the police arrived. Those who lingered in the vicinity were helped along by the muscular officers, and, thoroughly chagrined, they sought secluded spots to meditate and ease their aches. be Bo On Tong headquarters, Siockton and Jackson streets, and the Luey Sing Tong Juckson and Dupont | streets, were visited in turn and the | gathered celestials were driven and | jammed into the open air, each with a Warning to select a spot and occupy it solely and alone or suffer the conse- quences. Chief Crowley has placed Ser- geant Price in charge of the Chinatown squad in the daytime and Sergeant Cook atnight. Price is the Sergeant who so successfully broke upthe highbinder dens some months ago, and his presence is hailed as guarantee of exciting times to come. e e GRAND THEATER TO OPEN. | Now That “Little P=ts” Is Dead the | Play Will Go On. The Grand Theater, 814 Washington street, which is owned by the See Yup Company or members of that fraternity, will open this evening with due oriental pomp and ceremony. For months past the doors of the house of amusement have been barred. The boycott beiween the |86 Yup and the 8am Yup companies caused the closing of this celebrated thea- ter. An occasional Sam Yup man, thirsty for pleasure, thinking that he would escape identification, would slip in and take a seat. In a moment, however, a shrewd spy would scent him, and he would be dragged in disgrace from the lace and fined for his faithlessness. hese disturbances finaliy resulted in the closing of tue place, as honest people were afraid to come—airaid that a shoot- ing sffray would occur and a stray bullet end an innocent life. Last_evening, however, a glaring sign heralding the theater's opening was posted outside it§ doors. Coming so soon after the death of “Littie Pete’’ this fact is sait to have a deep significance; the effect after a disturbing cause removed. “Little Pete” was the aggressor among tre Sam Yups, and now that he is a cornse—that his soul_has “saluted his ancestors”’—the See Yups feel safe in adding the clanging of their theater gongs and the cries of their actors to the chaos of Chinatown. il DONG GONG IS MARKED. Rumor Has It That the Interpre- ter’s Life Is Wanted. A rumor is passing and repassing from Chinese lip to Chinese ear that Dong Gong, confidant, interpreter and police die in expiation of the murder of Fong Ching, or *‘Littie Pete.” Nor is a fear of arrest and punishment likely fo cause these highbinders of the Sam Yup Society to go slow. Their blood is up, and revenge is the prominent idea in their minds. The regular Chinatown squad was on duty as usual vesterday. It consists of five men, E.C. Robinson, J. P. Myler, Peier A, Gillin, P. 0’Connell and James Regan, all under the command of Ber- eant Mooney. = X Besides mi regular squad there is a special detail of nine officers, under Ser- geant Wollwever. Tueir names are W. D. Scott, R. Connor, M. Callincn, J. O’Connor, P. Butler, James McG.vern, John Crowley, P. Walsh and P. J. O’ Brien. Late yesterday afternoon Captain Lees ordered six additional officers to be added to the squad. All of them are kept busiiy engaged patroliing the alleys and peeping into the dens of iniquity, with which the Chinese quarier abounds. Officer ‘Butier was stationed yesterday betore tue door of the barber-shop at 817 Washington street, where “Little Pete . was killed. The shop is closeu, but But- ler was consfantly obliged to keep the crowds of morbidiy curious moving on. The sight of the blood-stained floor and chair in the room, which couid be seen by straining on tijtoe, was more than cu- riosity could withstand. An examination of the premises showed that the assassins narrowly missed killing two other men at the time they shot at Pete. One of the bullets passed through the partition into an adjo ning barber- shop at 81534, and another was found im- bedded in the same partition a few incues from the hole made by the first. A Chinese well known in local court cir- cles as merchant acd interpreter was in Bing Ti’s merchandise establishment next door 10 the scene 0i the shooting. He states that immediately belore ‘‘Little Pete” entered tue barber shop he told him that he had lately made a good business deal and closed up $2000 on it, at the same time exbibiting wiih sly winks a handful of gold coin. 3 ‘L uis person is inelined to the belief that the Sue Sing is responsible for ‘Little Pete’s” death, as Chew Jing, the man lately murdered by the Wah Ting San F¥ong tong, of which Pete was the recog- nized head, was a member of that hatchet- wielding society. It will be remembered also, as reported exclusively in THE CALL of a former date, that 1t was the Sue Sing highoinder soci- eiy which accused the dead Chinese of putting up the job on the police to give ihe murderers of Jing time to leave t.e country. The Sue Sing stated that *Lit- tle Pete'” had hired ceriain men, whom on occasion could be easily proved innocent, to resi under the suspicion of tbe police and go to prison until aiter the affair had blown over. The men did so, at least, whether vol- untarily or not, and in due time were re- leased for lack of evidence. The scheme workea like a charm. Officer Robinson desires to correct some misstatements made regarding the arrest of Wong Sing and Chin Poy made 1p & morning prper. He also contributes the very valuabie statement that the revolver (with four chambers emptied) picked up by Special Officer George Welch on the coraer of Jackson street and Waverly place is known to belong to one of tue men that fled into 123 Waverly place. Welch saw one of the mea drop it, al- tnough he cannot tell which one did so. “Tne public would get a conception from ceriain published statements,” said Robinson, “that the squad had been de- coyed 1nto raiding tan games to give the better chance of escape. This “Two of the squad had raided one game, and my partner, Myler, and I contem- plated raiding another. We were stand- ing at the time at @ue corner of Jackson street and Fish alley. “Weil, I leit Myler there and wentup to Ross alley to get an ax. Waile I was on my way there I saw Chinese running and ook after them. “When I came to Waverly place [ met Welch. He told me two men just ran into No. 123. We went up there and ar- rested Sing and Poy. Both were taken to the barber shop where the murder oc- curred and I turned one man over to Oficer Callinan, who had been along with loaded tnat if it had been discharged it us. “*As the crowd was increasing I went after Myler and then we both returned to the shop.” You see by this that the :r{nad was on the scene as quick as anybody.”’ 1t is stated by tbe police that the old- fashioned pocket howitzer picked up by Robinson on Waverly place was so heavily would haye blown tue man that held it to atoms. In the room where the two men were arrested the officers found a chest contain- ing a bux of loose cartridges, a three- cornered dagger and two pairs of “‘solder’” knuckles. The solder used in their manu- facture was doubtless purloined at some cannery, as more of the loose materiai lay in the chest. TWO0 BIG COURSES. Sport at Ingleside Yesterday—Death of John P. Dalton.

A baz of gold, how large cannot be Jearned, it is said, is waiting ready to be laced in the pocket of him who stains Eis hands with the blood of the inter- preter. D ng Gong will not admit for publica- tion that his life 1s sought by his enemies. His actions, however, are inconsistent with his denials. Hecalled at the C: fornia-stree police station early yesterday morning and in tones that betrayed his fears asked to be guarded to his home. This was granted him and Dong Gong walked to his residence beside a blue uni- formed Polleemnn. It is said that outside of Dong’s honesty, be is also the victim of another mistortune, that of being a cousin ofa Suey Sing Tong leader.
