PARIS, Dec. 19.-Russia has made
another move toward avoiding rupture
with Japan and there is reason to be-
lieve this will be followed In a few
days by the submission Of a second
proposition tending to ameliorate the
present strained situation.
The action already taken consists
Of giving assurances that the first
proposition which the czar approved
was in no sense an ultimatum or sine
qua none but a preliminary step tend.
ing towards pacific adjustment This
declaration is considered by officials
here as removing one of the most
dangerous aspects Of the situation. As
has been asserted Russia's PROPOSE
tion was practically an ultimatum
which, on being rejected BY Japan,
made rupture certain.

VETOES LIGHT FRANCHISE.
Mayor Does Not Believe in City Civ
ing Something For Nothing.

ing Something For Nothing.
Mayor Ezra Thompson has vetoed the
franchises to the Utah Light q Power
company, passed by the city council
last Monday evening. because the city
does not exact any concessions from
the company for extending the life Of
its franchise twenty-five years The
letter OF veto reads as follows:
Il herewith return an ordinance
amending and re-enacting certain res
olutions granting franchises TO the pre-
decessOrs Of the Utah Light & Power
company, without my approval for the
following reasons;
This is a most valuable franchise.
Under the terms Of the old franchises.
the company could operate for a per
iod of twenty-five years. The proposed
ordinance contemplates an extension of
twenty-five additional years. If the
council extends the franchises twenty
five years more, the privilege thus
granted viii enhance their value pro-
portionately. Under the present fran
chise the city is receiving various con-
cesSiOns from the Utah Light & Power
company. II the applicants for the ex-
tension Of the franchises will enter into
an agreement with salt Lake City to
furnish, free Of any charges to salt
Lake City, twenty or twenty-five street
arc lights during the life Of the fran
chise, in consideration Of such extern
sion, ] am willing to approve the pro
posed ordinance"
