RAILROAD ACT PASSED.
Jersey Substitute Gives Little Po50er
to Commission.
~ Telegraph to The TrIbune. ]

Trenton April 9-There was a lively time in
the Senate when Senator Lee this morning
ported a substitute for House Bill No Is, the
railroad commission measure. and urged it's ac-
ce ptance by the Senate. The new bill authorizes
the Governor to appoint a railroad commission
of three persons, to serve for six years. at an
annual salary of $1,000 each. The duties are
purely advisory. and the bill is a severe modifi-
cation of the Wright and Colby bills. which the
Democrats fought so hard for in the House,
spUrred on by the Peoples Lobby. The bill
passed by a vote of IL to 6.
The bill is based on the Massachusetts, law.
as proposed by the railroad attorneys who
appeared here for their clients on Monday. The
measure was prepared after a long conference
of the Republican Senators with the Governor,
which delayed the Senate morning session
until afternoon.
Senator Silzer. of NIiddlesex. charac terized the
new measure the most harmless thing that
could be devised
1T is ludicrous in the extreme" he said land
confers no power whatever the board. which
board would be purely ornamental"
Senator Frelinghuysen said there were only
two subjects for the commission to consider
the suburban service and accidents.
Mr. Sizer held that the bill did not even do
that. and that unless some power was given to
the commission. it would be absolutely useless
The railroads. he said, had no reason to fear at
tacks the part of the commission vested
with power and named by the present Governor
Il mean." retorted Mr.. SiIzer. that a Gov
ernor who appoints as members of the State
Board of Assessors the brother of counsel to
the Pennsylvania Railroad. and who himself had
been director in subsidiary company of the
same railroad. would not name a commission
inimical to railroad interests"

large general cargo.
The Sycamore left Pier 80 East River about
D. m on Monday. Captain James Young, her
owner. was at the wheel when she struck. Her
seams opened up and she took considerable
water which caused her 10 settle firmly on the
reef The steamboat Chenille, of the Port Ches-
Ter Transportation Company, went alongside
Yesterday and took off much of the cargo. The
N-recking tugboat William Z. Chapman yester-
day pumped out nearly all the water from the
