NO ENGLISH STRIKE Railroad Tie-Up That Would Have Paralyzed Business
 Averted. AGREEMENT REACHED Lloyd George, of the Govern ment; Railroad Officials
 and Men Confer.

London, Nov. 6.-The anticipated railroad strike throughout Great Britain, the idea of which caused so much concern to the British public in so much as 1t would have been a serious hamper to trade and com merce. has been averted by an agree ment drafted by paYld Lloyd -George, president of the board of trade and signed late tonight by the chairmen of the principal railroad companies and representatives of the Amalga- mated Society of Railway Servants.
 The agreement provides for the consideration of further matters in dispute primarily by sectional board of conciliation representing the vari- ous grades of employees and the indi- vidual railroads. In case of disagree ment settlement will be reached by the board of concillation and an equal number of men representing the full membership of the society If the board and these representatives fail to reach 8 decision, the matter then must be settled by arbitration. The directors of the railroads thus bind themselves to compulsory outside in tervention in disputes with their em- tloves

CARROLL WORSE
 OFF THAN EVER Senator Homan on Review of Technical Paper Fig. ures Five Below
 Board.
THINKS CIVIL SERVICE
 BOARD MARKED WELL
Investigation by the Aldermanic Committee Leads to a Conclusion of Fair
 Dealing.

Although Anthony Carroll, the petitioner who has been asking for permission to review his pa pers in the recent assistant build ing inspector examination, failed to take advantage of the ,opportun- ity which the civil service board extended him of doing so last evening by not showing up at the meeting where that body had his papers ready for him to see, the Investigating com mittee from the board of aldermen, ap- pointed on his petition to that body in which he claimed that he was not justly treated in his opinion, did at tend and made a critical examination of his paper and also went over the paper of one of the applicants who did pass. As result of examining the technical questions of the Carroll paper the marks which Senator Homan of the Investigating committee considered each of the 25 questions worth when compared with the answers in the key totaled up 29 points as compared with 9i which thu board itself gave the paper on the original marking and as against the 70 which is needed to pass
 Senator Homan after going over the papers expressed himself as satisfied that Carroll's paper was not correct enough to admit of doubt of his fail- ing to pass on the examination. In re- gard to the questions on the technical examination, the chairman, Senator Homan. remarked that they seemed to him suitable questions and that per- son who was not competent to pass oh them was not suitable for the position. On the review which he conducted of the examination paper of MT Carroll he considered 14 of the 25 questions worthy of a mark of zero, three of them not being answered by the appli- cant at all.
 The committee spent over two hours looking over the papers and after com Iparing Carols with the key they made comparison of his papers in the general work with those of anoth- CT candidate which had been high enough to pass although not the high est. Senator Holman agreed on the va. rious points such as letter writing spelling, writing and so forth that the lpapers of the successful candidate had lbeen rightly marked as much above Mir ICarroll's as the board had marked them and in fact he held that they were worth even higher marks in com Iparlson

TEN DAYS PATIENCE At End of This Time State St. Will be Real Thor
 oughfare Again. CAUSE OF THE DELAY Contractors Blame Steam Rail- roads for Holding Up
 Their Machinery.
CAUSE OF THE DELAY

After having been in an untravers- able condition for a distance of over a mile during nearly two months, the State street paving is at last to be given the surface bithulitlc covering. For the past five days the Warren Bros. Paving company, who are doing the work for the city, have kept their men at work up to 10 o'clock at night and all day on Sunday setting up the secret process plant received on last Friday.
 A representative of the company stated last evening that weather per- mitting, the asphalt will be laid be- ginning at noon and the entire dist ance finished up before the middle of the month. This process requires but one hour of setting and each block will be opened for use immediately after the roller work is finished.
 Delay has followed delay since the concrete work was finished over two weeks ago, the paving company claim ing that the steam railroad has been responsible. One portion of the plant coming from Detroit, is said to have been held up at Albany for long period, and a second portion shipped from Boston side-tracked because Of improper packing, the New Haven road refusing to accept the car from the Boston and Albany
 It Is probable that portion of the east side of the street will be paved before winter, beginning at Mill river, but the south end, from Grove street to Grand avenue, on the west side, which the contract includes, will not be touched until spring
 The trolley company is ready and anxious to proceed with the work

Student to Request Finance Board for Money Paid
 City Court.

At the meeting of the board of finance this evening Attorney George Beers, representing John B. Westcott, an academic junior, will ask for the return of fine paid by the student in the city court in a case which was aft erwards nolled by the state.
 The student was arrested at the time the last attempt was made to burn the Temple street bridge-an attempt which resulted in the suspension of a Shelf student for year. Westcott was one of the onlookers at the time, arriving there about the same time as the police, and was arrested.
 Upon investigation Judge Mathew son found that Westcott was not to blame for the trouble, and the case was noI1ed. The student had already paid 6 fine of $25 and costs, and 1t is this that MT. Beers will ask for this afternoon.

EXAMINATION OF SERGEANTS NOV. 20 Civil Service Board Holds Back Date to Try
 Candidates for
 Captain.
WILL GIVE THE NEW
 SERGEANTS A CHANGE
Speculation on the Promotions from Ranks to Captain
 cies That May be in Mind.

The civil service board at it's session last evening fixed Nov. 20 as the date for the examination of sergeants for the police service, as requested by the police commissioners some weeks ago. The date for the captains examlna- tions was not named It is almost cer- tain that this examination will be set for later date, which it was stated last night would probably be before the end of the year The object of this, 1t appears, from question which is to be sent to the corporation coun- sel for determination is to allow if possible those who pass the sergeants' examinations at the sergeants' exams, to take the captains exame. and be eligible for appointment for captaincies at once.
 The board had decided to send to the corporation counsel to determine whether officers who succeed in pass ing the sergeants' examinations and are certified sergeants but have never been appointed as such or performed the duties of that office are eligible for the exams for captains or not. Just what the object of having new sergeants go at once on the captains list is not disclosed, but the date for the holding of the captains exams has been left unsettled and will be made later than the other exams to afford an opportunity to do so.
 Resolutions were adopted on the re- tlrement of Chief Wrinn, which takes him off the civil service board on which he has acted for number of years. The text of the resolution was:
 Resolved, That the civil service board of the city Of New Haven here- by records its appreciation of the eff ciency and fidelity with which Chief James Wrlnn ever performed his duties as member hereof, and extends to him the heartiest and most sincere good wishes for the future"
 And now there is speculation as tc what promotions are in view whicl call for the passing of sergeants and captains exams successfully at prac- tically the same time Whether 1t k desired that there should be more eliglbles for the captaincy of the de. teetive bureau and that the men In the department who are now ranked as sergeants should be given a chance to be voted on, as captain of the bureau is one of the questions which the sit. uation has evolved. Another specula. tion Is whether or not 1t Is intended tc promote some officer from the rank: over the sergeaney to a probable flu ture captaincy. No names have beer banded about as yet in either case.

Says if Investigation of B. & A. Merger Matter is to be Made He Wants It
 Done at Once.
OBJECTS TO BEING
 UNDER A CLOUD
Appointment is Made for An other Interview Regard ing the Subject in
 Thirty Days.

Washington, Nov. 6.-Charles > iNTellen, president of the New York; New Haven and Hartford railroad. i called on President Roosevelt at the ijWhite house to-day and talked wltn
 him for about half an hour Berore
 this MT Mellen told inquirers that ne
 had come to Washington to find out
 what the federal government proposed
 doing. if anything, with regard to the
 merger of the New York, New Haven
 and Hartford and the Boston and
 Maine railroads.
 MT. Mellen said: If there is to be
 an investigation of the merger by the
 national government l should like to
 give my assistance in expediting it in
 every way possible. hear that fed
 eral investigators are at work, but
 none of them has come to me for any information. am willing to tell them everything I know in relation to the
 merejng of the two roads. want the job hurried through because do not like to go about under the cloud of being investigated by the department of justice. It isn't pleasant position and don't like it"
 MT. Mellen, 1t is said, sought to im- press the president with the fact 1t was undesirable that the district attorney at Boston should go ahead as he is doing Investigating cer- tain contracts in connection with the New York, New Haven and Hartford. MT. Mellen holds the contracts are
 entirely defensible, and that for the
 administration to do anything that
 looks like an inquiry into the merger
 now would not tend to restore public confidence.
 MT Mellen was told by the presi- dent to return in thirty days, from which it is believed the president vii have the inquiry into the merger ex- pcdited MT. Mellen pointed out tc the president that it was difficult tt finance new work and improvements while there was uncertainty about the inyestigation. By a New York Pos reporter. however, Mr. Mellen is quot ed as saying that he was not man cier, and had not talked of f1nancia conditions with the president. It was said at the White hous that MT. Mellen had not been asked t come to see the president.
 President Mellen introduced to th' president Attorney Edward G, Buck land of Providence, R. l., who is a the head of the Providence division O the New Haven roads system. Mir. Buckland was formerly of New Haven before he removed to Provi dence to assume the responsible duties as head of the New Haven road II that section.
 It is the plan of the New Haver road to have Mr. Buckland in Wash ington to represent the road and it interests there during the session O congress about to commence. This is the first time that the New Haver
 road has been personally represented at Washington.
 MT. Buckland when in New Haver was a professor in the law depart ment at Yale and practiced law in Nev Haven for some time before taking u his residence in Providence.
