PORTLAND, Feb. 25.-The pros- ecuting attorney of Portland has se- cured the promise of the leaders of the Chinese tongs that hostilities will be suspended for thirty days during which time an effort will be made to reach an amicable settlement of the trouble which led to the war. The agreement has been signed by more than g score of prominent Chinese merchants of this city.
 The police are hopeful that the leaders will be able to control the ac- tivities of the. gunmen who have caused seven Chinamen to be seri- ously injured during the past few days.
 A number of Chinamsn who are believed to have been concerned in the shooting of the Bow-Leung men have been arrested and will be held for investigation.

WILSON OPPOSED
 ID CORES BILL Measure Introduced in Senate to PrO- hibit Americans from Travelling On Armed Vessels.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 25.- Senator Gore of Qklahama yesterday introduced his resolution in the Sen ate, to prohibit American citizens from travelling on armed merchantmen of the belligerent nations of Europe. The resolution was introduced amid silence but there was noticeable tension among the members who re- alized it's importance and the conse- quences to which it may lead.
 President Wilson and majority of the cabinet members are Ter prted as being in opposition to Senator Cores resolution but 1t is believed that agitation for the measure to provide safety for American lives is too strong for the president and his following to control.
 Senator Cores resolution was the subject of editorial attention from nearly all the morning newspapers of the eastern cities and is generally re garded as necessary precaution to protect American lives and to pre- went the United States being drawn into the European struggle.

Portuguese Naval Commander Forci- bly Takes Possession of :sG Ships
 and HOistS His COlOlS.

LISBON. Feb. 25.--Captain Rego, commander of the aaval.s division here. yesterday took forcible. posses sion of thirty-six German and Aus trian vessels which were lying in the Tagus river, and after placing Portu- guese officers in charge of the vessels hoisted the Portuguese colors on them. The vessels were then saluted with twenty gun salute from the Portuguese fleet
 Tie officer was apparently acting on his own initiative in seizing the vessels and it is believed that the Portuguese officials had gained infor- nation that the Teutonic steamers were preparing to dash for the sea to become raiders of commerce against the ships of nations with which Portugal is allied in the war. Captain Rego refused to barley with the German and Austrian com manders of the vessels and accom- plished the seizure of the entire fleet of merchantmen before any of the
 crew were aware that their ships had been seized.

ITALIAN LINER HAD ]. RECEIVED WARNING

NEW YORK. Feb. 25.-The off, cers of the Italian liner which ar rived in New York yesterday from Mediterranean ports sta te that they received wireless messages from Hali- fax while in mid-Atlantic to watch for German commerce raiders which were believed to be awaiting liners en route to New York.
 The passengers on the steamer re- port that the liner was conveyed by . British cruiser through the Medi- Itsrranean Sea and out into the At lantic and that her wireless kept in constant communication with Allies warships during the entire trip.
 The Italian officers are mystified by the warning from Halifax and be- lieved that some vessel had 'been seized by a raider near the American coast. The commander of the Italian liner was required to make a sworn statement that the liner had been armed for self defense and that the guns would not be used for that pur- pose.

 The Westburn is reported to have been captured near the Canary Isl- ands and the British admiralty be- lieve that the German commerce raid CTS have established a base there and will ask the Spanish government to investigate
 Many of the passengers were talk ell from the ships which were de stroyed by the raider believe that she was not the Moewe, but the Pom ga, which was recently sighted by a British cruiser off the Madeira Isl ands. The vessel outdistanced the cruiser when an attempt was made to overhaul her although she had been flying the British flag. :.

PROHIBIT TRAVEL
 0N MERCHANTMEN
cliantmen Debated in the Sem ate by Gore and Lodge.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb a.
 The announced policy of the German
 and Austrian governments to treat armed merchantmen of the enemy
 nations as warships and sink them
 without warning was again debated
 in the Senate. yesterday afternoon. Tie debate was participated when Senator Gore of Oklahoma of Okla homa announced that he would intro--
 duce resolution to prohibit Ameri- can citizens from travelling on arm ed merchantmen of the belligerent nations. He believed the State de- partment should have, denied the right to armed merchantmen to enter
 and clear from American ports when
 their ornaments would make them
 special objects of attack by the sub
 marines.
 Senator Lodge of Massachusetts bitterly denounced. the Teutonic pol icy of sinking mercbantmen with out first providing for the safety of the passengers and crews as prOvid- ed by international rules governing submarine warfare. He believed that faction on the part of the American government to deny citizens passports to travel on foreign owned vessels would be in violation of existing treaties. American ports are open to the commerce ships of all nations. ha asserted and to prevent them from carrying passengers would be in vio- lation of neutrality. which would re- suit in involving America in another with the European na- |tions whose navies rule the seas.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Another Italian. riiner arrived in New York harbol yesterday afternoon with gunymounted on her decks and ready 'taG1lefend herself if attacked by sub matines of the enemy nations. The passengers say that while the vessel was in the Mediterranean sea sharp watch was maintained for subma- rines and that the gunners remained on duty until the liner had passed Gibraltar. 'i ;'-
 Americans arriving frem Europe believe that the German and Aus trian governments will adhere to their policy of treating armed mer- chantmen as warships and sinking them without warning unless the British government can be induced to raise the blockade which her navy has maintained against commerce to Germany since the beginning of hos tilities.
 The German citizens and press, ac- cording to an American physician who returned on the liner yesterday, believe that Germany cannot afford to make further sacrifices even at the risk of causing break of friendly relations with the United States, as the empire is fighting for it's exis- tence.

With the Yale
Team.

rs rs Yale Gets Hard

by IA. C. Hamilton, United Press
Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-The casts
big football teams with the single
exception of Yale, stand today right
at the pinnacle of their efforts. Even
Princeton, beaten by Harvard, has
some solace in the knowledge that
one of the best Tiger teams in years
came very near overturning a Harv.
ard eleven that compares fairly well
with some recent wonderful Crimson
machines.
Brown, Navy, Pittsburgh, Penn.
sylvania, Cornell and Harvard can
view the happenings of last Saturday
with citation. Harvard is deserving
of lots of commentator and is get
ting it. As the time approaches for
the big encounter between Harvard
and Yale, it becomes more and more
apparent that Percy Haughton has
forced the critics to again admit
that it looks like a Crimson year.
In spite of Princetonfs defeat, the
Tigers should go into next Satur-
days battle with Yale a big favorite.
Browns victory at New Haven wasn't
exactly surprise but it was an
awful comedown for the Blue. Yale
will need lot OF the Jones' brand of
assistance before it can hope to be
victorious over Harvard
