SUDDEN ATTACK
DY CHINESE TONG
eand From New York Fires
.Volley in Boston
Chinatown. .
KILL THREE, WOUND SEVEN
Dozen Desperadoes Dash Down Nar
row Alley, Shooting Into Crowd
With Deadly Aim Result
of a Long Feud.
BOSTON, Augf. 2. Burning with
hatred for their enemies belonging to
the rival On Leong Tong, a band of
Kew York Chinamen numbering a
dozen or more and said to be members
of the notorious Hep Sing Tong, enr
tered a narrow alley in Chinatown to
night a ad, drawing revolvers, opened
fire upon half a hundred Chinamen,
killing three and Injuring seven.
At the first volley the Chinamen
rushed for their quarters. The Hop
Sings chased their victims Into their
own doorways and shot them down as
they rushed upsalrs or into side rooms.
Then, casting away their guns, the
visitors ran from the Chinese quar
ters, most of them escaping the police.
Several Invaders Captured.
Immediately after the shooting one
of J:he Hop Sings from New York was
captured by a policeman as he was
running away. The man gave the
name of N'im Sing. He was dressed
in American clothes. Later an of
ficer at the south station took into
cuteody Mong Woon, aged 34, of New
York, whose hands were powder
etalned. Both prisoners are charged
with manslaughter. The police placed
under arrest on suspicion seven other
Chinamen who were strangers in the
community.
The shooting occurred In Oxford
Place, In the center of Chinatown,
where about 50 Chinamen were smok
ing in the open air. Fully 50 shots
were fired. The visitors shot with
careful accuracy, which was apparent
from the fact that each of the three
men killed was shot through the heart.
Trouble Long Brewing.
The trouble of tonight has been an
ticipated for more than a week. About
ten days ago nearly a dozen China
men, who were all strangers, came to
Boston and rented rooms near China
town. The police were notified of the
fact by Boston Chinamen, who feared
trouble. Special details of police were
at once placed on duty In the Chinese
quarter and the strangers suddenly dis
appeared. The trouble is attributed by some to
the shooting which occurred in Phila
delphia, for which It is said Boston
Chinamen were partially blamed. It
is thought the Chinamen who did the
shooting tonight came from New York
to punish the On Leong Tongs for the
Philadelphia outbreak.
MUGH GOLD STILL TO MINE
IMPROVED METHODS INSURE
LARGE KLONDIKE YIELD.
Government Has Completed Exami
nation of Gold-Hearing Gravels
and Sends Out Good Report.
VANCOUVER. B. C. Aug. 2. A special
dispatch from Ottawa says: There is still
a golden harvest to be gathered from the
gravels, of the Klondike valleys. The
Government has just completed an ex
amination and survey of gold-bearing
gravels of both high and low levels. It
is estimated that in neighborhoods where
gold is known to exist and from which
gold to the value of 04,75O,O00 has been
taken by crude placer methods, there re
mains J63.642.630 which may be recovered
at a profit by hydraulic mining, dredging
and other advanced methods of gold re
covery. REPORTS OF RUN OF SALMON
Letters From Alaska Tell of Small
Pack of Red Salmon.
ASTORIA. Or.. Aug. 2. (Special.) Sev
eral letters were received this afternoon
from the salmon canneries on the Nusha
gak River. Bristol Bay, Alaska. They
were dated on July 5 and all tell of the
slack run of red salmon up to that time,
some even estimating that the pack will
be 50 per cent short of last season's out
put. The Columbia River Packers' Asso
ciation received a letter, which does not
put so gloomy an aspect on the outlook as
do some of the others. It says that the
run of silvereldes, pink and king salmon
was the largest of any season since the
association's cannery has been in opera
tion. The red salmon were, however, un
usually late, on account of the extremely
cold and backward season. There had
been only a few days of red salmon fish
ing up to that time, so the pack was very
small. As the fishing season In Nusha
gak River usually closes about July 25, al
though it may be a little later this year,
the plants would have not less than 20
days In which to operate after the letters
were sent out.

Action of Congress Compels Com
panies to Offer All Sorts of In
ducements for Development
of Fuel Deposits.

significant statement was made today by

nance and way of the Harriman lines,
that in the future the Union Pacific would
encourage in every -way possible the de
velopment by private parties of the coal
lands of Wyoming. Colorado. Utah and
other states touched by his road.

reasonable distance to coal fields, and
that several have already been built. The
law passed by the last Congress forces
railroads out, of the coal business. The
Union Pacific will be forced to secure a
supply from individual mlneowners. Many
thousands of acres of coal deposits have
also been deeded back to the Government
by the Harriman lines, to which it is said
the road's title was not entirely clear.

commercial and manufacturing bodies
from all parts of the country, the Na
tional Industrial Traffic League was

and defensive alliance for the' purpose of
keeping the different trade centers in
touch with one another, with the view of
maintaining an equitable freight rate ad
justment between important markets.
The members propose to co-operate also
with the Interstate Commerce Commission
and with the various transportation com
panies In order that a better understand
ing among the bodies may be arrived at,

FISH AND HARRIMAN AT IT
Question of Veracity About Harri-
man's Illinois Central Stock.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2. B.V H. Harriman
and Stuyvesan Fish, whom Mr. Harriman
ousted from the presidency of the Illinois
Central, differ over the ownership of the
stock of that road. The trouble arose over
a statement given out by Mr. Fish an
nouncing his position at the next annual
meeting of the Illinois Central stockhold
ers, In which he said Mr. Harriman owned
only 130 shares of Illinois Central stock
against 12,452 held by himself. When this
statement was shown to Mr. Harriman
he said:
"I have been the largest stockholder in
Illinois Central ever since I have been in
the company and Mr. Fish knows it."
Mr. Fish, when informed of Mr. Harri
mah's statement, said the figures he had
given out were taken from the books of
the company and were correct.
Wants Interstate Fare Reduced.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. An attack has
been made upon the three-cent a mile
rate of the Union Pacific Company by
Charles A. ' Sibley, a resident of Ne
braska. Mr. Sibley's complaint was filed
with the Inter-state Commerce Commis
sion and its nature is practically unique
in the history of the Commission. The
complaint alleges that the Union Pacific
Railroad Comp-.ny exacts a rate of three
cents a mile from inter-state passengers,
although within the limits of .Nebraska
it charges a rate of only two cents a
mile. He says he travels from a point
In Western Nebraska through a part of
Colorado to another point in Nebraska
and is required to pay the three-cent
rate because the company holds that is
inter-state business. He asks the Com
mission to fix a just maximum passenger
rate which the company shall charge on
inter-state business.
Wants, Same Rate as Eastern Men.
OMAHA. Neb., Aug. 2. Alleging dis
crimination against Western comnian
deries of the G. .A. R Thomas Creigh,
Nebraska commander, has made a protest
to the railroads west of Chicago against
the low rates made in favor of members
in the Eastern states. Before the rail
roads accepted the 2-cent rate made by
Legislatures of several Western states,
the G. A. R. in those mates accepted a
fare of one and one-third for the round
trip to the grand encampment at Sara
toga, based upon the old rate of 3 cents
a mile. Since then a flat rate of I cent
a mile has been made for states east of
Chicago. Mr. Creigh alleges discrimina
tion and will appeal to the Interstate
Commerce Commission unless the roads
make a uniform rate.
Bamboo Culture In Victoria.
VICTORIA, B. C Aug. 2. Tne Japan
ese residents of this city who undertook to
experiment with the growing of bamboo
are meeting great success and the coming
winter will see a large number of roots
planted. The first experiment was made
at the Gorge Park, where the Japanese
have small tea gardens, and so rapid has
been the growth of the plants the in
dustry will be largely increased. The
plants will be imported from Japan this
Winter. (
The cultivation of bamboo is very prof
itable in Japan, returns varying from $20
o $90 per acre. With a successful cultiva
tion of the plant In this city, the Japanese
hope to wSrk up a big trade in bamboo
furniture. At present there is nothing that
compares with bamboo for furniture. Wil
low Is the best that can be secured in this
country but bamboo is considered far su
perior to anV willow now used. Another
industry which the Japanese will endeav
or to work up will be the use of bamboo
for water pipes..
