The Hop Sing Tong has positively refused to consent to any amicable settlement until the assassina- | tion of a number of their members has been compromised in blood, and all ef- forts of the police, Chinese Consul Gen- eral, Merchants' Association and Six Comps to arrange things otherwise have been for naught. According to leading tong men a strange hitch came in proceedings of peace yesterday. A merchant named Wong Yong, who was delegated to con- the contract, already signed by the Sing Tong, to Wong Shi Shu for s approval, had reached his destina- | tion and was making arrangements for a meeting with the president of the Hop Sing Tong. a woman with whom he has been living was arrested as a slave girl and turned over to the custody of the United States . When the news of the transac- tion reached Wong Yong vyesterday he became so enraged that he cast his com- | mission aside and refused to take any more action in the affair. The peace- makers had relled much upon the influ- ce of the merchant to accomplish the restoration of peace, and when he for- sook his task they gave up all hope. The signing of the compact which Act- ing Chief Biggy desired the highbinders vey y to make, calling for perpetual peace, has also been classed with the fmpossible. The tongs refuse to give up the names and addresses of th -leaders and claim | that they will defy law and order as often as they find the occasion and opportunity. Chinese who have been identified with the highbinder organizations and who | have learned 1|ur|n§' the lull in hostilities that prices had been placed on their heads were active last night. They ap- parently realized the hopelessness of the situation and thousands of handbills were | scattered broadcast by them declaring that they have ceased to exist as members of the warring tongs and have no connec- | tion with them whatever. Trouble may again break out at any | time, but it 15 not expected immediately, | Polide restrictions are at present so rigld | that the highbinders fear to ply their trades and no more murders may be com- mitted until after the new year, which begins on the 20th day of the present month. Acting Chief Biggy has declared that if some compromise I¢ not made soon he will enforce more stringent measures than he has invoked up to the present time. During the New Year festivities he threatened to refuse to allow inamen to congregate on the streets. Wong Shi Shu, the Hop Sing Tong pres- ident, departed from Marysville yesterday for St. Helena and the police will attempt to catch him at that place. Ing Dong, a Chinese suspected of being a leading member of the Hop Sing Tong society of highbinders, was arrested last night by the Chinese squad and incarcer- | ated in the “tanks’ at the City Prison. Dr. Gardner, the United States Chinese Inferpreter, was sent for and had a long talk with the suspect, who claims to be a Jacksonwstreet merchant. He refused to discuss the highbinder proposition and will be held pending an investigation. | SOCIAMSTS AS ACTORS. Will Appear in “The Weaver” With Herr Most Sunday Night. The socialists of the city, assisted by | Herr Most and some of the members of the German stock company, will shortly venture the production of Gerard Haupt- mann’s socialistic play, “The Weaver.” The production has two objects in view: the propagation in a new way of the so- ciallst's creed and a matter of benefit for Herr Most, who just now is in San Fran- cisco and 1n need of money. - The play deals with an upheaval of the weavers of Silesia, a_province of Ger- many, and it is based on an actual oc- currence of the year 184. The weavers strike for more money, they destroy the house and property of the tyrannical em- floyer and his cashier and then the mili- ary is called in to suppress the riot.

The note may be used by the creditor in raising money for his own use; that is, he may get it discounted—sell it to a note broker or to a bank. But there are some disadvan- tages. If a note is accepted from a debtor the account cannot be collected until tha day of maturity of the note. You ma hold a note against a debtor, and if your note is not due you canpnot by any process of law prevent your de! r from selling everything he owns and leaving for parts unknown. A note that is overdue is in some particulars better than a note not yet matured. An overdue note draws in- terest at the legal rate from date of maturity, and legal steps to collect it may be taken at any moment. To discount a note or draft is at a discount.
