MORE ROOM IN the SCHOOLS.
Mass Meeting Of the School Con-
ference This Evening.

The School Conference of New York
City will hold q mass-meetiug in tho
Cooper Union Institute Building this
evening. The object of the meeting IL
the discussion Of the overcrowding OF
children III the c!ty's schools and the
urgent need of more schools and the
adoption of q Compulsory Educational
bill. 3. ....
From q report prepared by the Secre-
tary Of the Conference, which will be
submitted at the meeting. II is shown that
New York City ranks lowest In the Union
in point Of school accommodations: also
that tho cost of maintaining the police,
armories and other public institutions far
exceeds fhe expenditure for schools.
1t sets forth that despite the increase in
population. the appropriations for cduca-
tlonal purposes nave not Leen increased
proportionately.
The immediate need for more schools
IL shown by the fact that during last year
20. 900 children were refused admittnuco
to the schools. while 3. 900 others were
actually turned Out because of the over
crowded conditions The alleged dis
examination in favor OF the pupils in the
higher grades, and the low salaries paid
the teachers are other points on which
the conference lays stress.
The Compulsory Fducation bill o
pending before the legislature In branded
AS worthless by the Secretary OF the Con-
ference. This bill. MS II now stands, will
even control children between the ages
of seven and eleven years. A bill which
the Conference thinks practicable IL one

The Worlds Fair Conference Commit
tee AdjourDS TIL This Evening.
viii There Be a Split In Platt's
Senatorial Forces7
The Appearance of Miller as a
Leader Strengthens the
Assembly Boilers.
A Ready Agreement TO tho Suggcs-
tlon to Delay Action.
EnrreIAn TO 1nE rvrslNo womb

ALBANY, Feb. l2.-The Conference Com
mittee on the Worlds Fnir bill has again
adjourned until this evening.
Last night the Plat men loudly
declared that they would never nc
cott II bill but that containing tho
amendments. However, they are iii
mood to delay action until every chance
Of n compromise il lost.
Thsir reason. perhaps. is a fear that
tho party in tue Senate may share tho
same fate as that in the Assembly. md
divide into rival factions.
The fear is strengthened bv the fact
that tine suggestion for delay wnR made
this morning by Senator Sloan. who is
one of the strongest Warner Miller n On
in the State.
IIc IL perhaps tho closest political
friend Mr.. Miller has.
II tho Miller men were to split from tho
main body III the Senate. he would he
the natural leader of the boilers.
So Il suggestion from him for delay may
mean something; anyhow the Plat men
would not dare offend or give him nny
cause to leave them. so the delay lie asked
for was quickly granted.
This evening the Committee will meet
again. probably for the last time.
DO'tutb III tho hbotliOt1 INV tt-
clare Tint the whole city of New York has
approved their course.
Necessarily. they will not back down
under my onslaught that may be made
against them.
Since Warner Miller has como out for
the bill they have gained recruits.
They were 10 originally, but three fell
by the roadside.
On the next critical vote they expect TO
have 20 or 81.
These additional men have all along
been against Plat, but they are Of TINT
class OF men which must have q leader 4;
SO they could not leave. Plat till some
one would appear rs a chieftain. and now
that Miller has come to the front they
hasten to declare their adherence.
II n similar bolt IL organized in the
Senate It will very nearly make a tie vote
OH some political questions.
The power of the L~ieutensnt-G Governor
then will be large. for he will decide
whenever there Is n tie.
