AT an adjourned meeting of the
city council "Wednesday night it
was decided by the council to re-
scind the recent conservation order
with reference to electric light and
power, and the mayor ordered the
current turned on again this morn
ing.
On the first Of the present month
the council decided to cut off the
power and light current from day
light in the morning till p. m.
each day, in order tossave coal and
to ecOnomize in the operation of
the plant. which. as Ii perhaps we'll
known, is scarcely paying operating
expenses at this time.
The councils action Wednesday
night was in response to a quite
general protest on the part of con-
sumers that the service was essen
tial and could be illy dispensed
with, especially ut tliis time OF the
year. Many who were apparently
indifferent when the order was first
made came to realize that it was
the old story of mot missing the
water till the well was dry" and,
regardless of cost, wished the light
service rehabilitated.
The council has iii no sense been
arbitrary In the matter and gladly
acquiesces in the public demand for
light. What ever deticit results in
the operation of the city light plant
Eunder present conc lii pns, VIII have
ito be provided for b t&xxtiOn Or
some other method.
At any rate the return to q "a

be heartily welcomed by the peo.

Rome, April 1S.-The letter to EN-
peror Charles Of Austria to Prince
Sixtus OF Bourbon continues to be the
object Of wide comment in political
circles 49,.
1t is stated that Emperor Charles
several times tried to enter negotia-
lions with Italy, through relatives Of

The steps which the Austrian en-
peror took regarding italy failed be-
cause of the stanch italian loyalty
to the allies. 1t was then that he
addressed himself to his brother-in-
law. Prince Sixtus. who was fighting
in the allied army On the western
front, but was no more successful.
For this reason the Pope on Au-
gust ! issued his peace note. which
was practically a repetition of the
conditions contained in Emperr
Charles's letter. to Prince Sixtus. 1t
is now evident that the Pope relied
on Emperor Charles's opinion re-
