PHELAN, MOTHER OF THE MAYOR OUTBREAK OF HIGHBINDER WAR AT HAND Police Taking Many Precautions. | CHINESE SIX COMPANIES ACT RIGID ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW BY THE ACTING CHLEF. — -9-0-90-0-0-0-0 90 0-0 The police are preparing for another outbreak of the highbinder war in China- town. Several things have transpired within the last few days which have given rise to the conclusion that murder is agaln on the tapis and that the truce had sim- ply been declared for the purpose of hood- winking the police into granting unlimited privileges to the Mongolians during their new year celebration. So serious have matters trended during the -past few days that a meeting of the Chinese Six Com- panies was held last night to raise moncy with which to compensate the Hop Sing tong for the lives they lost during the past portion of the war and to offer an inducement to them to keep the peace. Detective McMahon stated last mnight that a murder might be expected on any day. He says that the undercurrent of fear among the Chinese, which charac- terized the first part of the struggle, has THE LATE MRS. JAMES PHELAN. RS. JAMES PHELAN, mother of the Mayor, dled at the family res- idence on Valencia street sterday morning. Since last Thanksgiv- ing day her life has been despaired of, and it was feared that her two daughters, who were in the East, might not again see her alive, but for several weel the patient was sustained, and when the end came she was surrounded by all her children. One week ago it seemed as though Mrs. * again manifestea itself, and the highbind- Phelan was about to regain some of her former strength, but Monday mOrRIng | | ers have stowed themselves away. in she suffered a third relapse, and her physicians at once declared that there @ | places of seclusion, from which they wa no hope of another rally. Mrs. Phelan was a descendant of one of the most historic families of the ancient Irish nobility. She was formerly Miss Alice Kelly, daughter of the late Jeremiah Kelly of Stradbally, Queens County, Ireland. The family de- scended from the O'Mores of Leix, which line was almost exterminated at the fearful e of Mullagast. Among the treasured relics in the Phelan of St. Louis, bestowed on the O'Mores for bravery during Tench w and which descended as an heirloom to Mrs. Phelan. The Kelly family came to this country over half a century ago and settled in Brooklyn, Y., where Mrs. Duval, a sister of the deceased, still lives. in New York that Miss Alice Kelly met James Phelan, her future hus- , who went West to lay the foundation of the vast fortune which he after- umulated. In 1858 the marriage should have been performed, but when James Phelan was about to leave California to go East and claim his bride his brother Michael died and delayed the journey. The next year, how- ever, Miss Kelly, accompanied by General Joseph Lane and Hon. Lafayette Grover of Oregon, came to this coast, and in May, 1859, she became the wife ames Phelan, the ceremony being performed by Archbishop Alemany in Mary's Cathedral. With the exception of a few trips to her old home Mrs. Phelan has re- sided continuously in this city since her marriage, and all of her children were n here. Nine years ago her husband died, and by the terms of his will Mrs. Phelan was given a life interest in the city and country establishments of the family and an annual income of $30,000. Her unpretenticus mode of liv- ing did not Tequire more than a small proportion of this magnificent income, and the larger part has been used to aid the less fortunate. It has been dis- pensed in such a manner, however, that the right hand knew not the mission of the left. Mrs. Phelan was very earnest in her observance of religious duties, and so long as she was able she was regularly in her place at St. ius Church. Phelan was born 73 years ago. Her children are James D. Phelan, Miss Mollle Phelan and Mrs. Frank J. Sullivan. The funeral will take place to-morrow at 10:30 o'clock from St. Ignatius Church, and the ceremonies over the grave, which will be at Holy Cross Cemetery, will be attended only by relatives and friends. IVELY SCENES WHILE LOADING THE AUSTRALIA Freight Blockades on East Street. emerged to participate in the New Year festivitles. The police were obliged to liberate a highbinder recently whose iden- tity as a_murderer had been established because Chinese witnesses on whose testi- mony they relied had been seized with the war fever and escaped. Last night the members of the Chinese Six Companies held a meeting at ir headquarters for the purpose of devisin, means by which to ward off the trouble which seems imminent. It will be remem- bered that no money was offered to the worsted tong for lives that had been sac- made all who are acquainted with Chines2 | affairs look with suspicion on the peace compact. The Six Companies took the | matter of the compact under advisement and sought to make it binding by having a clause offering an amount of money for the lives lost inserted in it. Representa- tives of the Hop Sing tong who were present winked their eves and refused to accept any other declaration than that | already signed by them. The elimination of a monetary consideration is said to be sufficient excuse for a renewal of hostiii- ties, with revenge as an object. Acting Chlef Biggy recognizes the se- rious situation and has taken precautions which have never been taken before. As a result Chinatown is more firmly under police control than at any time in its past history. Everything_that contributes to the highbinders' coffers has been sup- pressed, and this method is regarded as thé only one instrumental in rooting out bold crime. ~All the gambling houses in that secticn of the city have been closed and the paid assassins have been hounded from thelr holes. Police constantly patrcl the streets for the purpose of enforcing a strict observance of the laws, and only competent officers have been chosen for such duty.
