March .3. ttipe clalt In temporary treaty of peace HOWELLS LAUDED in Chinatown, which, leading Chinese prayed would be made permanent, has beon broken and the war cloud again hangs low. All last night representa tive Chinese conferred with the leaders of the flvti tongs Involved In the con troversy snd pleaded in vain that the existing difficulties be forgotten and that peace be restored. The peace envoys met with no suc cess and asked the 81x Companies to intervene. However, prominent Chinese today conceded that the prospect of re storing the peace hatchet Is dim and war Is expected at any time. Every member of the police squad In China town Is alert today, for it is known sev eral gunmen have come to the local Oriental quarter and are In hiding. The clans Involved In the strife are the Hop Sings. Hip Slns. Puey Sings. Sin Fuey Ylnss and the. Wong family. These factions signed an armistice be fore the tew Year began and agreed to preaerve peace until March 7. The pact was broken, however, it Is claimed, by the Sin Suey Ylnss. who are being ac cused of breaking faith by pointing out to the police a Hop Sing man who bad been Indicted by the grand Jury. While the police have been unable to confirm the rumors, it Is reported that nricea have been fixed on the heads of tin leaders of the Hop Sins tong. The price for the heads of the president and secretary Is said to have been fixed at 11500 each, while it Is whispered that a price of 1300 has been placed on the head of each member of the Hop Sing tong. Thla morning members of the peace association and the Six Companies called upon tong leaders Involved in the war and made an attempt to get them to declare for peace. Their ef forts were futile, however, and the po lice now b'lieve that tonight will mark the renewal of hostilities and that many warriors ""111 be shot down before the end la finally reached. That the fight will spread up and down the Coast is certain. ELOPERS ARE WEDDED PARKXTS GIVK CONSENT TO MARRIAGE OF SWEETHEARTS. Long rttrsult Since Wednesday Cul minates in Wedlock, Spokane Minister Performing Ceremony. SPOKANE. March S. (Special.) Love found a way for the youthful elopers from Pullman, who have passed through thrilling and unusual experi ence Blnce they left the college town Wednesday In a buggy In search of a license and a preacher for Saturday nfternoon Rev. E. U. House Joined In matrimony Marcell Parsons, aged 10, and Bessie Klemgard, aged IS. The license was obtained early. Miss Klemgard' mother, wife of a Pullman hanker, giving her consent, and Charles Parsons, a well-to-do real estate man of Spokane, father of the boy. readily acceding to the compart. The ceremony was performed at the home of the bridegroom's parent, the girl being taken there from the Young Women's Christian Association rooms, where she slept Friday night. Marcell Parsons met Resale Klem gard two weeks ago for the first time. A week later the girl was buying gar ment In Pullman, unknown to par ents. Intended for wedding trousseau. Wednesday morning liiey drove In a buggy to Moscow, bought more bridal finery and zlept that night In the same hotel which housed a pursuing brother of the girl. Thursday the couple came to Spokane on a train, following the brother, eluding all the sleuths, and Thursday night stayed at a Spokane hotel.

Journal. While we have not et granted In dependence 'in the Philippines and are not likely to do so for year to come, there can be no question of the bene fits accruing to the islands from our administration. Even the antl-lm-prrlalists would admit that, on the whole, we had done well for our little brown brothers. In spite' of our with holding of the ultimate boon of polit ical liberty from. them. In his annual report to the President, the Secretary of war say that peace and order have been promoted In Mindanao where the cable only the other day reported fur ther military activity to the same end": that. In addition to the l-"..eoo.0OO ex pected by the Philippine government under Congressional authorisation In public works, more than twice that amount has been spent on various im provement out of the surplus from current revenues; that tfte present sys tem of practical free trade between continental Cnlted Statee and the isl ands has resulted in a marked increase of business, and that the net revenue for th laat year are larger than ever before.

Plans have been completed by the Portland Cm & Coke Company to be gin work in building a gigantic gas manufacturing plant on a atrip of land directly north of the Government moor ing on the wet ide of the Willam ette River in North Portland. The plant will cost 13.000,000 and be one of the most modern and largest estab lishment in the United State. As it is gradually built up it will take the place by degree of the present plant of the company near the Union Depot, hs ..Ions h.inv to tl M VS the N U f t tl ' r . i i ..i,,,, n.rfltA all the gas used In the city. During thla year the company will pend 1700,000 in building the first unit of the plant a generating station capable of manufacturing 3.OUO.00O feet of ga a day and in constructing a system of mains along the Linnton road to Portland and the first part of an ex tensive parking eyetem which is to ex tend over the 40 acrea of ground owned by the company and comprising the gas plnnt site. Within three year the plant will be complete and th expenditure will total 13.000.000. Plaaa Coldered Several Year. The company lias owned the North Portland sit for a number of years and has been working a long time on the proposed plant, completing the details only a few days ago. It is proposed, besides making the plant of a else to meet the needs of Portland for many years, to install facilities for handling large steamship shipment of oil from the California fields, the plans calling for large modern docks on the water front. The present system of hauling the oil on barges from the large stor age tanks at Portsmouth will be dis continued and the steamers will be un loaded at the. gas docks instead of at Portsmouth. The present piant near the. depot has a capacity of 5.000.000 cubic feet of gas a dav. The new plant will have a daily capacity of 10.000.000 feet. The plant now used in manufacturing briquettes from the lampblack of the oil will bo moved to the North Portland site and increased In capacity from 60 ton to 100 tons a day. 1 s-to-Date Machinery Be Used. The machinery at the new plant will be modern In every particular. Includ ing the most up-to-date pumps and generators. The present storage tanks In various parts of the city will be maintained as- at present and will be connected with the new plant as rap idly as possible. The large mains will extend down Linnton road to connect with the present high-pressure arierica which supply the smaller mains, which in turn supply the consumers. The franchise to use the Linnton Koad al readv has been secured and the com panv has arranged with the. Harrlman railroad people for the us of the new steel bridge to carry the supply mains to the East Side. The high pressure mains will pass over the lift span by means of a piping arrangement which works much the same as the slides of a slide trombone, the arrangement making possible the lifting of the bridge at any time without interfer ence with the gas mains. flrat Valt Ready x fmll. In October next It is planned to have the first unit completed and ready for the manufacture of 3.000.000 feet of gas dally. At that time the old plant will be closed down gradually. Construc tion work will be continued after the first unit until the plant is entirely completed. The site of the new plant is to be landscaped to conform with the Ben nett plans. An extensive system of parka has been arranged, including walks and driveways, so that the site will have an attractive as well aa an Industrial appearance. The Port of Portland has arranged to make an ex tensive fill on the waterfront over which the gas company will place mod ern docks for the handling of the oils. This land-filling work, or a section of It at least, will comprise part of the first unit and will be completed along with subsequent units. C'ly Grawla Demands Plaat. The object of the company In mak ing the vast expenditure Is twofold. The growing demund for gas has made the present plant too small to cope with the situation, and the company. It Is said, has been brought face to face with the need of greatly enlarging the generation system. With four blocks of property near the dppot well covered with the present plant, it was consid ered necessary to secure a new loca tion. Another reason I the complaint about the gas plant occupying a site near the center of the city. The two propositions have, caused the company to decide on the modern system in a district remote from the residence and business sections and still within easy reach of the city! The property near the depot will be kept by the company for th present. T. R. WRITES LETTER We Are True Conservatives," Colonel Declares. BOSTON. March I. A letter from Theodore Roosevelt and speeches by ex Governor Port, of New Jersey, Governor Stilbua. of Kansas, and Senator Clapp. of Minnesota, signalized the opening of the Roosevelt "progressive" New Eng land campaign in Tremont Temple last night. The chairman also received a tele gram of congratulation from the head quarter of the National Roosevelt com mittee in Chicago, declaring that "the Nation appear to be 5 to 1 for Roose velt," and predicting that Illinois will give Roosevelt 50 of its 5 delegates. Colonel Roosevelt' letter said: "This is more than a mere party con test: this Is a contest to establish the right ot the people to rule themselves, and through their own etTorta to work for the cause of social and industrial Justice and of good will among men.

"But prosperity must stand on a foundation of Justice, Justice to wage workers, to capitalists, to the general public. All we ask is such Justice and we are as anxious that it should be scrupulously given as that it should be scrupulously exacted. "We have announced our faith in and our adherence to a lofty ideal, for sure ly there can be no loftier ideal than the achievement of Justice through the rule of the people, and we hold also that because of the very fact that we are idealists, we are in the truest sense of the word practical men, for we in tend in good faith to try to realize our ideals; and their realization will make, not only for the moral, but for the material well-being of all our people." Ex-Governor Fort attacked the Payne-Aldrich tariff law as not being a revision downward of duties and said that if President Taft had vetoed it as a violation of the platform on which he was elected, "he would have stamped his independence and progressiveness in the hearts of the people at the very outset of his Administration."
