THE CHINESE HIGHBINDERS ARE PUSHING THEIR WORK _____A-The Chinese Exclusion Act and Its Provis-ions Collecting Casli to Knock it Out—A Chinese Visitor. Memphis. Jan. 1. — United States Inspector F. N. Wicker, of the treasury department yesterday, in con-versatio/ i with a newspaper reporter, stated in reference to the Chinese question that one Tam Yuen Sun, a Chinese, arrived in this city last week and represented himself as the author-ized agent and representative of the Chinese Six Companies which were vested with authority to collect from each resident Chinaman of this city the sum of $1 for the purpose of test-ing the constitutionality of the Chi-nese exclusion act of the United States, enacted May 5, 1892. A number of the Chinese in this city to whom this man made applica-tion for money expressed grave doubts as to his honesty and authority to make said collections, and demanded of him to show proper credentials in support of his claims, which he was unable to produce. He, however, Succeeded in raising about $200 from several parties who are said to be running a Chinese lot-tery in this city. Tam Yuen Sun claims to be a prominent member of the notorious “Highbinders,” which is the “Mafia” organization of the Pa-cific slope and which has terrorized all peaceable-minded Celestials who have fallen under their ban, and was using the name of that deadly band of assas • sins to extort money from his country- 1 men in the city. *i Several days ago Tam Yuen Sun | left for New York threatening those who refused to accede to his demand to return within the next ten days clothed with ample authority from Chinese Six Companies to substantiate his claims madh, and that he would make it warm for those who dared to question his commission and au-thority. Colonel Wicker further said that the Chinese generally are not fully in-formed as to the text of the exclusion act, one of the provisions of which re-quires all Chinese residents in the United States at the time of the pas-sage of this act to be registered' and to receive a certificate of that fact, which certificate is a virtual guarantee of continuous, undisturbed residence in the United States, and of protection by the government. This act is virtually a safeguard for the Chinese now residing in the United States, and is so recognized by a number of intelligent Chinese, but they are being educated by interested parties through, ihercenary motives that the act is one of oppression, aimid at the abridgement of their liberties in this country, and is used to collect the $1 per head from the 170,000 Chinese within the domains of the United States for the alleged purpose of employing legal services to test the constitutionality of the act, when in reality it is a money-making scheme on the part of a few leading Celestials who are'shrewd enough to see an op-portunity of defrauding their country-men. The Highbinders’ association in this city is no myth, and has its headquar-ters at No. 10 South Basin street and numbers about forty members, where they have their sign conspicuously displayed. It is true that the mem-bers belong principally to the better and more intelligent class of Chinese in the city who have been induced to join the society under the impression that their personal property would be, safer by reason of their membership. A large majority of straightforward and law-abiding Celestial citizens of the city are bitterly opposed to the modes and aims of this organization, and would much prefer to sever their connection with it, as it neither re-spects property or the laws of the country in which they reside, and that they consider its actions as crimi-nal as the dastardly outrages of the Italian Mafia and repugnant to Ameri-can civilization. A prominent American, a man of nerve, and one who is thoroughly con-versant with the Chinese affairs, has been engaged by the United States government to investigate and crush out of existence this deadly society, not only in this city, but throughout the whole United States. Colonel Wicker has made a coiq-plete study of the Chinese question, and is thoroughly familiar with all ,the laws of this United States relative to Chinese immigration. Colonel Wicker has traveled through different portions of the United States, principally in California, where the Chinese colonies exist, and has he-come familiar with all the different phases of Chinese life. Colonel Wicker, since he has been assigned to duty at this port, has sue-ceeded in preventing a • number of Chinamen from locating in this city, who, had it not been for his vigilance, would have evaded the laws of the United States while in transit to Cubal] He has succeeded in having a num-her of Celestials who attempted to violate the exclusion act brought be-fore the United States court and re-turned to China. He has also ar-rested a number and had them con-victed for smuggling opium into this country. The Little Frenchman Has moved to 113 North Fourth street, in the McLelland hotel block, where he will be pleased to meet his old friends and make new ones. First-class dyeing and cleaning.

THE BIG FELLOW TALKS. JOHN L SULLIVAN POURS OUT HIS TALE OF WOE-To’an Audiencj at the Windsor Theater. Reiterates the Statement That He Was Fairly Whipped. New York, Jan, 1.—An enthusias-tic audience filled the Windsor theater, where the John L. Sullivan company was playing last night and were treated to a stirring speech by the ex-champ-ion which lasted five minutes. Sulli-van spoke very seriously on the con-troversy he had with his hackers, about the newspapers and the reports that he would again enter the prize ring to regain his lost laurels from Champion Corbett. The speech was a great sur-prise to the spectators. They were not in the least aware that the big fellow would publicly tell of the al-leged mean treatment he had received on the part of his backers. During the progress of the play he stepped to the footlights and stretched forth his muscular arm as a signal for the audience to lessen the enthusiasm. Immediately there was a deep si-lence and even the drop of a pin could be heard when he cleared his throat to give vent to his feelings. The conquered champion said, . among other things, that he had not the remotest idea of fighting Corbett again. He stated with trembling voice and moistened eyes that his day had come at last and that he was no longer young or energetic enough to battle against youth or strength. “Corbett,” he said, “whipped me fairly and honestly, but when I fought him I was already a wreck of old age and reckless living. ” (Loud cries and cheers of “John, you could yet whip him with proper training. ”) ‘ ‘I am making a comfortable living in the theatrical profession,” he con-tinued, ‘ ‘and I am perfectly satisfied without whipping other people. There is one thing, however, I wish to say, and that is, if I was still champion I would fight within a year. Corbett refuses to, but after all he must be given credit for the clear brain he possesses.” Sullivan also said that the allega-tions he made against his hackers were based on sound facts, hut he did not make any personal attacks oh their characters nor did he mention their names. As far as the reports were concerned that he was crazy, he said that they were all bosh, as his per-sonal appearance and speech would prove. When the defeated hero fin-ished, the audience literally jumped out of their seats to cheer and applaud his speech. A. ® Happy New Year.
