Captains. Pilots and Mates of
 Fall River Line Have Their Pay Increased
THE NEW SCHEDULE

Fall River, Mass, Jan 29.-Fol- lowing the recent general advance in wages to its railroad employees, the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Co has advanced the pay of captains, pilots and mates of its Fall River line of steamers, running to New York. The increase to the pilots and mates averages about $10 a month. That to the captains af- fects only those who are now receiv- ing less than $20O a month and the exact amount has not been an- nounced. All of the captains who re- ceive less than $20O month are in command of freight boats.
 Under the old rates the pilots of the passenger steamers received $125 month for the first pilot and $110 for the second. On the freight steamers the first pilot was paid $90 and the second $75. First mates on the passenger boats received $90, the second mate $60 and the third mate $50, and each of these now receives an advance of $10 a month. The first and third mates on the freight steamers who received $50 and $40 respectively are advanced $5 month and the second mates who were paid $50 are advanced to $60 a month.

Senate Fixes the Last Day as Feb 7-The County C0mmis-
 Si0nerS Business
TO KILL COMMISSION
Movement to Abolish Present Rail. road Committee and Pass a Law Making One With Greater
 Power.

Hartford, Jan 29.-Some of the big matters the legislators had in mind and which the state has been in wait ing for, showed up to-day in the gen. eral assembly. Startling bills wepe those calling for the abolition of the present railroad commission and the creation of a new and larger one with broader powers, so as to include telephone matters, the checking of so-called lobbying in the interest of public service corporations, of per- sons drawing salary form the state and to give communities the night of local option in license matters.
 A whole lot of bills were presented and in the house during the presenta- tion miniature flags in honor of Me- kinley day were distributed and many of the members wore carna- tions.
 The county commission question was settled in the senate by the re- appointment after a short debate of Edwin H. Hall of Wilmington as con- missioner for Windham county.
 In the house the bill for the reap pointment of the New Haven county commissioners was not taken from the table. In executive session the senate confirmed the appointment of James H. Mcdonald of New Haven to be highway commissioner. Sem ator Judson presented the so-called insurance bills to carry out the idea of the State Business Mems associa- tion. The closure in new business was fixed for February [. In line with the governors recommendation a bill was introduced to-day provid- ing for the appointment of an en- crossing clerk and a clerk of bills to hold office during their good be- havior. Both houses adjourned at 11:1S until tomorrow.

STRUCK ICE CAKE
The Lighter York Now Lies al the Bottom of the PiScata-
 qua River
ASERES OF ACCIDENTS

Portsmouth, N. H., Jan 29.-By a collision with a floating cake of ice the lighter York to-day lies at the bottom of the Piscataqua river, mark ing another mishap to an already long list attending the removal of Henderson's Point in Portsmouth harbor. The York was engaged in the removal of a few large boulders that interfered with a safe approach to the navy yard.
 Since work on the destruction of the point, which was blown up in the early part of last year by one of the biggest explosions of dynamite in this country, there has been a series of accidents, some of which have been fatal, to hinder the completion of the task.
 Two premature explosions killed several Italian laborers; dredge was sunk by striking an unexploded charge of floating dynamite, and an- other, sprang leak and sank while at work.
 Henderson's Point was removed by the national government in order to give better approach to the navy yard and in order to do away with strong current that caused great in convenience to shipping.

 Satisfied.

Constantinople. Jan 29.-Fehmi Pasha, chief of the secret police of the palace and a great confident and favorite of the sultan, has come in serious conflict with the German em- bassy owing to his action in causing the seizure recently of ships cargo destined for Hamburg. The sultan tried to pacify the embassy officials by immediately ordering the release of the cargo, but Geramny, in forcible note to the porte, now de. mands the punishment of Fehmi Pasha, pointing out that in the step taken he was guilty of an infraction of the penal code, rendering him lia. ble to life imprisonment. The diplo- mats here are watching with great interest this struggle between the German embassy and the sultan'a protege.

Express Train and Freight Came Together Near South River
 This Morning
THE EXPRESS STOPPED
Trainmen Failed to Send Back a Flag man and inc Heavy Freight Train Came Along and Crashed In.
 10 the Rear Cars.

Deerfield, Mass, Jan 20.-Five per sons were killed and several were in jured in a collision between an ex- press train and special freight on the Fitchburg division of the Boston & Maine railroad near South river to-day. The killed were all employed by the railroad. The injured includ- ed railroad employees and several pas sengers.
 The collision was caused by sud- den stopping of the express train, the freight crashing into the rear of it before the danger signals could be set. The list of the dead is as fol- lows:
 George B. Busseno, of the express train, living at Troy, N. Y., 47 years old, married. ~
 Baggagemaster G. II. Harrington, of the express. living at Troy, N. Y.
 NJ. A. Fitzpatrick, engineer. Rot terdam Junction, N. Y.
 Chauncey Cota, engineer, Mechan-
 
 icsville, N. Y.
 K. N. Dennison, fireman, Mechan- icsville, N. Y.
 John Clapp, residence unknown, ta- ken to Greenville hospital.
 None of the other injured needed hospital treatment.
 The bodies of the five trainmen were all badly burned by, fire which followed the collision.
 The scene of the accident was a few miles east of this station at a point between West Deerfield and South river. The wrecked express left Boston at II 20 last night bound for Albany. Just after it had passed South river the signal whistle was blown and the express was quickly stopped. The rear brakeman fur nished with torpedoes and lights started back at once but he had on- ly gone short distance when the freight train appeared and before 1t could be stopped had struck the standing express.
 The rear car of the Boston train was smashed and those in 1t, some of whom were asleep were caught in the wreckage.
 The occupants of the car were mainly train hands going west to bring back an extra freight. Conduc- tor Busseno and Baggagemaster Har- rington also were in the car. The wrecked cars at once caught afire and that one and a regular coach of the express were burned.

ADJUSTMENT IN SIGHT.
French Bishops Have Submitted New
 Scheme to Government.

Scheme to Government.
 Paris, Jan 29.-The proposition which the French bishops, with the approval of the pope, have now sub- mitted to the government seems to offer the first real prospect of an ad- justment of the conflict between church and state under the separa- tion regime. While it involves a ma terial modification of the position taken in the last papal encyclical, the proposition put forward has all the appearance of an ultimatum.. Wheth- CT the government, in spite of the concessions made and making in the interest of religious peace, will ac- cept a settlement based upon the absolute recognition of the Roman hierarchy. remains to be seen. The model contract which the bishops have submitted provides for the vir- tual lease of the churches in per petuity to the parish priests by the mayors, the leases being for eighteen years and renewable by their sue cessors. The leases which carry u stipulation engaging the communal, municipal and state authorities not to interfere with the administration of the church and parish, are invalid without the express ratification of the bishop and become null the mo- ment the parish priest loses the bishops authorization. The bishops must act together to insure the ac- ceptance of the contracts everywhere or nowhere.
 It developed to-day that the re- port that Cardinal Richards, the arch bishop of Paris, had summoned an- other meeting of the episcopate was not correct. The cardinal only sum- moned meetings of the regional as- semlages of bishops, to which the pope's decision was communicated.
