Supervision to Be Placed in Hands of
 Railroad Commission.

Railroad Commission.
 The committee on railroads of the general assembly held an executive session yesterday afternoon and de cided to report favorably in the senate next Tuesday, 8 bill placing the trolley roads of the state under the control and supervision of the board of rail- road commissioners. The railroad commissioners gre to have all control in the matters of building roadways, equipment thereof. etc, and may em- ploy such electrical assistance and other skilled talent as may be neces- sary to carry out the provisions Of the act regarding the duties imposed upon them. The entire expense Is to be as sessed pro rata upon the roads. No additional compensation is provided for the commissioners, as the commit tee found that such could not be done under the constitutional prohibition against raising salaries of public off cials while in office. The selectmen of towns and city authorities are to retain control over trolley layouts within their limits.

MANY LIVES REPORTED LOST.

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 5.--A special
70 the Morning Call says.
The steamer Iaqua, which left this
city yesterday afternoon for San d.
ego with a cargo Of general merchan-
disc. was wrecked some time last
night on Duxbury reef. just outside the
Golden Gate, and all on board. with
the single exception Of Chief Engineer
Burrill, who was washed ashore on an
overturned boat after being in the wat
er two hours, are believed to have per-
ished. Details are meagre but 1t Is
known that there were between thirty
and forty persons on board the ill
fated vessel at the time Of the acci-
dent.
The Iaqua sailed from Eureka sew
eral days ago for San Pedro and put
In here yesterday to land some pas
sengers. As soon as that duty had been
attended to Captain Basch put 20 sea
again.
How the disaster occurred is not
known. but there was heavy swell
on outside the heads last night and Il Is
probable that the unfortunate vessel.
drifting too near the reef in the haze
that overspread the water. was thrown
upon the rocks by the swell. she is a
total loss.
Chief Engineer Burrill reached the
shore and teIephoned to VIM. Mugan,
representative OF Dolheer & Carson.
agents for the vessel In this city, say
ing that the steamer was in distress
aud asking for assistance. Tugs at once
started for the scene Of the disaster.
The facts were communicated by Mr.
Dolbeer early this morning. but he
could give no further particulars. Mr..
Dolbeer owned one-eighth Of the ves-
sci and the other seven -eighths were
owned by the Humboldt Shingle Manu-
featuring Association by whom she was
loaded. Mr.. Dolbeer said the steamer
was on her way to this port, but In
this he Is evidently mistaken. as the
records Of the merchants exchange
show that she cleared for San Pedro at
$40 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
How the engineer got ashore neither
Mr.. Dolbeer nor anyone else seems to
know. Burrill probably was too much
excited to give details. At 9 o'clock
this morning IL was reported from
Point Reyes that the vessel had gone
to pieces and as no more boats came
ashore the presumption is that thirty
or forty people known to have been
on board were drowned. 1t is Of course
possible that other boats may have
landed their passengers at some other
point where it was not possible to COM
municate with the city quickly and Il
: also possible that rescuing tugs
may have arrived on the scene in time
to pick them up.
