RUSSIA WILL SUBMIT A SECOND
PROPOSITION FOR JAPAN
EsE CONSIDERATION.
PRESENT STRAINED SITUATION EAsED
HAD BEEN ASSERTED RUsslA's
REPLY WAS IN THE NATURE
or AN ULTlMATUM.

Paris, Dec. 21.-Russia has made
another move toward avoiding a rup-
ture with Japan and there is reason to
believe it will be followed in few
days by the submission OF second
proposition tending to amellorate the
present strained situation. The action
already taken consists in giving as
surances that the first proposition
which the car approved was not In
any sense an ultimatum or sine qua
non, but was preliminary step tend
ing towards pacific adjustment. This
declaration is considered by the Off
cials here as removing one of the
most dangerous aspects of the situa-
ton, as it had been asserted that Rus
sia's proposition was practically an ul-
timatum which, on being rejected by
Japan, made rupture certain. On
the contrary, Russia's assurances per-
nit Baron de Rosen, the Russian min
lister at Toxic, to continue the nego-
tiations even beyond the term Of the
first proposition.
The Russian authorities have not
yet Qeuultely DeeH duVlSeu VI Japan =
rejection of the proposition, but II the
rejection is officially communicated
another Russian proposition will be
made looking towards the avoidance
of a rupture The nature Of the terms
of this further proposition is not dis
closed. as it depends on Japan's reply,
but Russia's intention to make an
other proposition is considered to be
a distinct amelioration Of the situa-
ton.

late pope's will which was not made
public. The delivery of the money
was effected by Cardinals Gotti, Ram

the Cabinet.

Washington, Dec. 21.- President

regarding them was made public. Sec
rotary Root remained with the presi-
dent considerable time. The nature
of the conference. was not disclosed.

REPORT is uNFouNDED.
Said Russia Will Attempt to Float
Loan in London.

London, Dec. 21.-The Rothschilds
have heard nothing of any sugges-
lions that Russia will attempt to raise
a loan Of s125,oOO,OoO, or any other
amount, in Great Britain and they de-
clare that the report is probably I'M
founded. Russia, they say, could not
raise loan here and, judging from
their latest advices from Paris, it
would probably be equally difficult for
Russia to raise more money in France.
The Associated Press is informed
from other quarters that even were a
Russian loan issued elsewhere there
is little likelihood of any portion OF
it being underwritten in London.
