NEW FRANCHISE
O.K.'D FORP PASSAGE

Rothschild said that in this plant, where
electricity was generated by steam,
which was great deal more expensive
than waterpower as the new company
proposed, it was possible to produce
electricity for lighting at one pei, cent

engineer of the Donaldson plant, who
nodded in confirmation. -'.
Maximum Rates Fixed.
Alderman Holmes thereupon moved
that the maximum rates for electric
power be fixed at cents when the
yearly charge was less than 800; at
4 cents between 800 and 5000; and at
was adopted. A sliding maximum scale
for commercial lighting was fixed, the
rates ranging from 10 cents for yearly
charges Of less than $1OO to S cents
when the bill exceeded $4,000 year.
The gross earnings tax was fixed at

the three ten-year periods Of the fran
chise. The gross earnings tax is not
| to apply, however, in the event that the
city accepts the proposal of the COM
pany to furnish street electric arc lights
at 1000 candlepower at $3.50 each a
year, for which service the city is now
paying 1914 a year. .. -

SLEEP IS KILLING
SOLDIER IN THE WEST
New York Sun Special Service.

San Francisco, Dec 23.--John "A.
Smith, recently discharged soldier,
whose home is said to be in Ohio, is
sleeping his life away at the Emergen-
10y hospital in this city. He has been
under observation for six days and
practically all the time has been asleep.
It is with great difficulty that the hos
pital attendants arouse him sufficiently
to make him eat. When he is made to
speak, which is rarely, he talks in in
coherent whispers. His general health
is good. The doctors are of the opin-
ion that he is suffering from the mys-
FERROUS malady known as African sleep
ing sickness, which invariably ends in
death.

the paper, arguing therefrom that the
publication was secured by a person
who was interested in the effect that
would be produced. :.
While any idea of an examination of
convocation of a national assembly
has been rejected, the Associated Press

his position to grant certain measures
in the direction Of liberality.

pore on Tnelr way west.
New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, Dec. 23.-The Daily News
yesterday received the following cable
gram from its correspondent at Singa-
pore: -
Two Japanese converted cruisers, the
Nippin Maru and the Hongkong Maru,
entered the Singapore straits this morn
ing. Chartering launch I steamed out
and was courteously received on board
the Hongkong Maru by the captain.
He informed me that the two cruisers
were sea scouts Of the Japanese battle
feet, which is composed of two first
class battleships, two frst-class. armored
cruisers, two second-class cruisers and a
fotilla Of twelve torpedo craft. These
vessels are now On their way to a GER
tain place, where they intend to give
battle to part Of the Baltic fleet.
! According to the Japanese captain,
the naval situation at Port Arthur being
now settled and the Russian feet en-
tirely disabled, Admiral Togo has
turned his attention to the outcoming
fleet.
He declined to give any further in
formation, but admitted that he would
go west and south. ..- y;
! It Is thought here that the Japanese
fleet has secret base among the islands
and will attempt to seize GOLFERS and
boats carrying contraband to the Rus.
sian fleet in these waters.

Russians Interested.

St.Petersburg, Dec. 23.-The announce
ment that four Japanese cruisers and
twelve torpedoboats are proceeding west
from Singapore is received here with
much interest," It is not believed, how
ever, that such a small squadron can
have been sent out by Japan with any
idea of engaging in offensive operations,
but it is regarded as more probable that
it is the purpose of this squadron to
keep a surveillance over the two de-
tachments of the Russian fleet which are
expected soon to unite in the neigh
borhood Of Madagascar. =,
It is generally believed that vice ad-
miral Rojestvensky intends to estab-
lish q nav al coaling base on some small
island between Madagascar and the
Philippines, and that the Japanese -cruis-
ing squadron hopes to mark down the
rendezvous for Vice Admiral Togo's in.
