FACTION FIGHT.
From what could be gleaned of the affair it appears that in some way a quarrel arose, between 7.30 and 8 o'clock yesterday, morning among a number of Chinese who were in New Market Street, adjoining one side of the Western Market. It is thought that some of these men were what is known as packers, and that a row ensued over Guild or Society matters.

From outward appearances, "however, the affray seems to have been somewhat in the nature of a personal matter be tween the dead men and their alleged assailant, or assailanta, for, solar, it is not known whether more than one person was responsible for their deaths.
TWO KILLED. "
As stated, two of the men involved in the affray were killed. Their deaths ap- pear to have taken place about eight- o'clock. One man was murdered in New farket Street and was found lying at the castern end, having received a large number of wounds in various parts of the body, while his head was also badly injured. The other man was also stabbed in the back and arms, but appears to have had sufficient strength left to run into Morrison Street, on the other side of the market. Here, apparently, his atrength gave out, and bleeding freely he sank on to the steps of the market and ex-
As a result of the concert held last week under the auspices of the R.A.0.Bpired. in Hongkong for the widow and six children of the late B.Q.M.S.

CONSTABLE WOUNDED.
In the meanwhile, another man was seen by a Chinese police constable, who had been attracted to the scene, run and away. Apparently a chase ensued the constable came up with his quarry, whom he arrested on suspicion of being involved in the affray. This man, when arrested, was found to be suffering from knife or chopper wound in the back, and before he was arrested he is alleged to have wounded the constable in the arm with a weapon.
Both the alleged murderer and the constable were removed to hospital. Neither of their wounds are considered to be serious, and the constable is expect. ed to recover from his in a short time. Among the passengers arriving in the Failing the obtaining of statements Colony by the an.
