Commissions' Functions Taken by Slate ard Nc'.v York City Hoards?Franchises Restricted?10 Men at .*510,000. Albany, N. Y.?Immense powers - * 3 ^9 OI regulation ilUU auycmaiuu ui street an'd steam railways, express companies, sleeping car companies, freight companies, gas pipe line companies and gas and electric corporations are lodged in the two public service commissions created in the Public Utilities act drafted along the lines of the recommendation of Governor Hughes by Senator Page, of New York City; and Assemblyman Merritt, of St. Lawrence County. There is provided one commission for New York City and one for the remainder of the State. Each is to be composed of five members. Each member is to receive ?10,000 a year. The New York City commission is vested v/ith all the powers of the present Rapid Transit Commission and with many additional ones, including sweeping powers over all the railroads and common carriers operating exclusively in that district and over those portions of other railroads inside the lines of the city and also over all the gas and electric corporations. Both passenger fares and freight rates mav be regulated bv the two commissions in their respective jurisdictions. The new commissions have power to compel adequate service. Mergers are prohibited unless consented to by the commissions. Present holding of public service corporation stock by stock companies is not prohibited, but no new holding companies are to be permitted. * The penalties for disobeying the mandates of the commissions range from $1000 to $5000 fines, while officers and employes are to be guilty of a misdemeanor. Private suits for damages by injured parties also may be maintained. Shippers, as well as the corporation employes may be adjudged guilty of misdemeanors for violating any parts of the act. The worst fears of the corporations are realized in the details of the bill, and they are arranging for a battle that will be memorable in the history of the State Capitol. Many great fights have been waged by the corporations here for many years, but those contests will be pigmies alongside the colossal conflict that is now impending. Governor Hughes went over the bill, is familiar with every section of it, and it has his approval. The corporations do not know just yet how to fight the Governor. He is the uncertain element in the calculations they have made. It is pointed out that all the other States are watching New York's lead in the war to make the corporations treat the public right, and that if this State is successful there will be similar successful fights against the corporations in all the other States. So it is hinted that public corporations outside the Empire State will find it worth their while to join in the fight here and crush out the movement in its inception. JUMPED TO HIS DEATH. Actor Loses Presence of Mind at Hotel Fire. Chester, Pa.?In an effort (to escape being burned to death, John Conly, a comedian, of the "Vanity Fair" company, was instantly killed by jumping from a third story window of the Arcade Hotel, in this city, where the theatrical company was staying.

' This resolution does not commit the p Government, but the debate upon it ^ was interesting on account of a statement made by Augustine Birrell, the Chief Secretary for Ireland. Mr. Bir- R" rell said he failed to see how the continuance of the established Church jX could be justified. The Church had p done the State no good, and the State . had done the Church only harm, a Personally, Mr. Birrell said, he be- w lieved that disestablishment, far tl from harming the Church as a spir- u nuai uouy, wuuiu resiuie 11. i.u a yusition of spiritual authority through- o out the land. The Government's a hands, however, were already too full d to assume any responsibility in the matter. This is the fir3t time in its history that the House of Commons has ^ adopted such a resolution. The only previous time a similar resolution waB pressed to a division was in May, 1871, and it was then rejected by a " large majority. ~ N. Y.
