Switching Charges Raised.

CHICAGO, March l9.-The general
manage of Chicago lines were served
with a notice today that the Chicago
Junction railway had raised its switch
ing charges, the increase amounting
in all cases to at least 25 per cent; &C.
companying the notice was an expla-
nation that the expenses of the COM
pany had increased much faster than
it's revenue and there was no recourse
but to raise switch engine charges.
For the purpose Of considering the
matter meeting of the General Man
ayers associa alton of railroads has
called committee to see if the Chi.
cago Junction railway cannot be in.
duced to withdraw it's notice. The in
creased rate embarrasses the railways
especially at this time on account of
the Elkins law.

Seized for Piracy.

New YORK, March 23.-The British
cruiser Pallas has seized the Venezue.
Ian warship Restaurador on the
ground that she is pirate, cables
the Herald's representative at Port of
Spain, Trinidad.
The case against the Restaurador
cites that soon after she was handed
over to the Venezuelan authorities by
the German commodore she began
again acts of piracy and robbery on
the high seas. 1t is charged that she
seized the cargoes Of vessels and dis.
mantled and abandoned the craft. A
Port of Spain newspaper says editor
tally Of the Restaurador's case: "Such
piratical acts prove the unwisdom of
generosity of the allied powers. The
paper expresses the hope that retribu-
tive justice will be swifter and more
effective than on the last occasion.
The Restaurador was formerly the
American yacht Atlanta. She was
built for Jay Gould.

VICKsBURG, Miss, NJ arch 22.-Offi.
GERS of the steamer City of St. Joseph,
which reached here this afternoon
from Greenville, reports a critical
state of affairs along the lssiquin a
front. All along the line the water is
almost level with the crown of the
levees and at several points it was
washing over. New work is slufting
badly and at Filer's great cavity
has appeared in the levee. Into this
cavity 1000 sacks, filled with sand
have been dumped without perceptible
effect. Inspector Eulaney, who is in
charge of the work trains, about de-
cided to cut the old levee at half a
dozen places, as a sudden break would
be disastrous to the new levee further
back. This is vigorously opposed by
people living between the levees and
the feeling is 5 aid to be running hirh.
At Duval's and from Brunswick to

several points where large forces of

this county,"
With these words Judge Neff today
in criminal court assaulted the jury
that Saturday night acquitted Mrs.
Wirukowski of completely in the mur-
der of her husband and made her q
free woman.
The judge used the forcible language
in condemning the jury while he was
sentencing Charles Janowski to the
penitentiary. Janowski was given
life sentence for the murder of Mrs.
Wirukowski's husband.
A feature of the testimony intro
duced by the defense was the attempt
to show tn at Janowski had been hyp.

DISASTROUS COLLISION.
Two Fall River Steamers Come Together
In Fog With Serious Results.

New LONDON, M arch 20-In the
fog which descended upon the waters
of Long Island sound last night, the
big Fall River passenger steamer
Plymouth, from New York for Fall
River, with five hundred passengers
and crew of two hundred men, was
run down while passing through the
Race by the freight steamer City of
Taunton of the same line, bound for
New York.
A full hundred feet of the starboard
side of the vessel was smashed in as
if it had been paper, the staterooms of
the second cabin were entirely cut
away, while down the hold many of
the crew, who were asleep in the steer
age, were drowned by the torrent that
poured through the great gap made
by the bow of the freighter.
Although greatly terrified, those on
board the stricken ship showed great
self-control and there was no panic.
The collision occurred after thieves
sci had slowly made her way over the
sound through the fog until she reach.
ed point east of Gull island. The
City of Taunton drove up out of the
fog and when she was sighted by the
Plymouth she was too close to avoid
the collusion.
There was a quick exchange of sig
nails and then the crash. The bow of
the City of Taunton penetrated ten
feet into the hull of the Plymouth and
as she backed away she raked the up.

poured into the hold and drowned the

The Plymouth was Immediately
headed for this city. It was thought
at one time that the ships company
would have to take to the boats, but
the closing of the collision bulkheads
prevented the water from gaining and
the vessel made the harbor and wharf

NOT so HOPEFUL.
The Breaking Of Additional Levees Makes
the Situation More Serious.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 20.-The
feeling of hope that was produced yes
terday and last night by the Missis-
sippi river coming to a stand at this
point, with 40.l feet on the gauge, was
dispelled today by the occurrence of
two additional breaks in ST. Francis
levees north of thsk, first crevasse at
Trice's Landing, AK, and grave ad-
vices that are being received from
upper Mississippi points, as we'll as
by raise OF L here. Today the St.
Francis levees gave way at Random
Shot and Shawneeville, Ark, the first
about 45 miles from Memphis and the
second about IS miles. Both crevas.
ses are reported to be serious. The
one at Shawnee is the worst. The
two breaks today probably will in.
crease slightly the water in the terri
tory of Arkansas which is flooded by
the break at Trice's and in addition
they are flooding vast scope of
country which has thus far been free
from any considerable amount of
water. The stu alton therefore in Ar
kansas is more grave than at any
time during the flood. Relief meas
ures have been and must be for sew
eral days completely inadequate.
The long line of levees that guard
the river front Of the Mississippi and
protect the vast and fertile delta
region of that state and which have
thus far stood firm against the great
flood, are reported to be in a critical
condition at many points. At places
the water is sweeping through the en-
bankment, flooding villages and plan.
tations and at other places the en-
bankment is overtopped by the flood
and enormous quantities of water are
being discharged into the country.
The most encouraging feature tonight
is the fact that the river has remained
stationary all day and that a falling
stage is reported from St. Louis, Cairo
and other points on the Mississippi
and its tributaries.

THE COMMISSION REPORTS.
The Award OF the Strike Commission Is
Made Public.

WASHINGTON, March 2l.-The re-
port of the commission appointed by
the president last October to investi-
gate the anthracite coal strike was
made public today. The report is
dated March 18th, and is signed by
all the members of the commission.
The report is to be illustrated, and it
will be accompanied by the testimony
taken by the commission, but thus far
only the report proper has been print
ed. This alone covers 81 pages of
printed matter.
In brief the commission awards a
general increase of wages amounting
in most instances to 10 per cent; some
decrease of time: the settlement of all
disputes by arbitration; fixes MINI
mum wage and a sliding scale, pro-
vides against discrimination of per-
sons by either the mine owners or the
miners on account of membership or
non mem bership in labor union;
provides that the awards made shall
continue in force until March 81, 1906.
The commission discussed to some ex-
tent the matter of recognition or non.
recognition of the miners union, but
declines to make any award on this
measure.
WL1KESBARRE, Pa, March d.
An official of one of the LARGEST cor.
porations said that the award was
practically vindication of the coal
panles, that 10 per cent and re-
duction of firemen was practically con.
ceded. He said that to the railroad
the renewing of coal mining will be OF
great ultimate value, that violence
and rioting have been denounced ir
no unmistakeable language aud tha,
peace and normal conditions would
prevail in this region for the next
three years at least.

Disastrous Mine Explosion.

HALIFAX, N. S., March 19-As a
result of an explosion followed by fire
in Dominion, No. 10, colliery at Glace
Bay, tonight, four men are missing,
78 horses were sutfocated by fire damp
and property estimated at half mil.
lion dollars was destroyed. The fan
shat in the mine broke last night and
large number of men left the mine
while others who did not anticipate
any danger remained at work. A
great quantity of bad gasses soon ac-
cumulate and today when a shot was
fired, an explosion occurred and in an
instant that part of the mine burst in
to flames. AS it was between shifts
only a few men were in the mine at
the time. They all made a wild rush
for the mouth of the pit and succeeded
in reaching it before' the deadly fire
damp overlook them. On the way
some of them seized horses near at
hand and galloped at full speed to the
opening warning others OF the danger
as they went along. A strong effort
was made to get the horses out but
only II were removed alive.
Four Observation-Disclosures still remain
to be accounted for.
The men succeeded late in the day
in shutting off the north end of the
pit and in this way the fire was con-
fined. There is great danger, howev-
er, that the fire has not been COM
pletely extinguished and private in.
form alton which reached here this
evening seemed to indicate that it is
