JANITORS MAY GET PAY.
Board of Finance Appropriates $1,OOO
 for School Mems Salaries.

Board of Finance Appropriates $1,OO0
 for School Mems Salaries.
 By the action taken by the board of finance last evening by which trans- fer of $1, 900 was made from the depart ment of public works to the board of education for the payment of the cur- rent salaries of the school janitors it will be possible for the board to pay the janitors to-day, which is. the last day of the term. It has been custom ary so to do for many years, but On account of lack of funds for this pur- pose special communication was made by the board of education stating that it would be impossible to do So this year, unless $1,0OO was transferred for the purpose. In response to this the board took it's action last evening.
 The resoltion of the board of alder men providing for the erection of the projected bulkhead in Bay View park was brought up, but when the mayor explained that according to the state ments of engineers the bulkhead would cost at least $75, 900, which rendered the work impracticable; the matter was laid aside.
 The following transfers were made: Public works department, from street sprinkling account, $50 to parks and trees account; and from Quinnipiac fender pier account, $125, to bridges, repairs, etc., account. In the police de- partment $500 was, transferred from the payroll account to maintaining and re- pairing buildings, and from the account of commissioners badges, $2O, to the same.
 The board of education in its com munication called attention to the need of an addition to the Ezekiel Cheever school lot of plot 5Sx120 feet, which would cost $1,250, 8 site in the Strong district, in the vicinity of Barnes and Quinnipiaic avenues, estimated at from $1,05O to $1,S00.
 Attention was also called to the need of additional land in the rear of the new Scranton street school. A lot 50x175 feet, it was stated, could be obtained for $1,0O0. No action was taken on these matters last evening.

HIGGINS ANSWERS ODELL.
THINKS LATTER MUST HAVE
 FORGOTTEN CONFERENCE.

Had Heard That the State Chairman
 Was Using His Name for the Purpose
 of Securing Pledges for Mir. Merritt
 for Speaker-Had No Authority So to
 Do-Does Not Care to Discuss Ques-
 ton of Honesty With the Former
 Governor.
 Albany, Dec. Ex-Governor Higgins tonight replied, in part. to the state rnent made in New York to-day by for mer Governor B. B. 0dell, jr., chairman of the republican state committed. in reference to the governors action in proposing Assemblyman James W. Wadsworth, of Livingston county, for speaker of the state assembly. He said: s.a ...}E
 'g "f have read the statement of Gov ernor Odell. sent out this afternoon from New York and published in the evening papers, in which he stated that said that would not be for any can- didate for speaker of the assembly from either of the large cities of the state. I think he must have forgotten our last conference in New York last Friday.
 Previous to my going to New York had learned, through several members of the assembly that called upon me, that Governor Odell was using my name for the purpose of securing pledges for MT. Merritt for speaker. asked him by what authority he was using my name. He told me he thought that at a conference a month previous he had satisfied me that MT. Merritt was the proper man to support for the place. I at that time Oast Friday) asked him if he would agree upon any other eandidate-any man in the legis- lature. He told me he would not; that he was pledged to MT. Merritt, and Mr. Merritt would not withdraw. I do not care to discuss with Governor Odell, through the press, questions of honesty or dishonesty.
 "So far as the future of the republi- can party is concerned, think that can safely be trusted with the press and the people, as to whether my action is wise or unwise."
 New York, Dec. 22.--The republican county committee of New York, which met. last night in Murray Hill Lyoeum to take up the matter of selecting a president of the committee, remained in session until an early hour this morning. At o'clock, after a brief re- cess, the committee again went into session.
 New York, Dec. 22.-At 2:S5 o'clock this morning Herbert Parsons was elected chairman of the New York county republican committee by accla- nation.

Starts Tamely and Troops Fill the
 Streets.


 St. Petersburg, Dec. 21. 2:1O p. m.-- Since noon to-day the streets, particu- larly in the industrial sections, have been filled with troops. The railroad stations are in possession of the mili- tary. Wholesale arrests of the leaders of the Workmen were made last night. It is reported that the police included in their captures the members of the second workmen's council, who were placed In the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul with the members of the first council, who were arrested Saturday night. A third council, however, promptly took the place of the second. The League of Leagues has issued an appeal to the public asking for lb- eral support of the proletariat, (which Is bearing the brunt of the struggle for the emancipation of the nation" The appeal says there is bound to be much privation, starvation and even death from cold, and not only asks for ma- terial aid, but proposes the inaugura- tion of free dining rooms for workmen in all parts of the city.
 The strike started here at noon very tamely. In the center of the city the shops are not closed, the proprietors having received guarantees that if they remained open they would be given ample protection and that any deputa- tions of strikers seeking by threats of

OCEAN LINER ONLY A BARGE
FIRST REPORTS WRONG AS TO
 FIRE OFF ATLANTIC CITY.

Vessel Was the Baker Bound from New
 York for PhiIudeIphia in Tow of the
 Tug Sea King-Burned to the Wa
 ter's Edge-Her Crew Probably
 Taken o@.
 Atlantic City, N. J., Dec. M.-The barge Baker, bound from New York for Philadelphia in tow, was burned to the waters edge off here to-day, It is presumed the crew was taken off by the tug Sea King, which was towing the Baker. The Abrecon Life Saving crew went out to the burning barge, but could do nothing to save the yes sel.. Nothing was seen of the tug Sea King, nor of the barge Reading, which the Sea King also had in tow.
 There was no one on board the Baker and there was no cargo. There was appearances, however, that the vessel had recently carried a cargo of coal The Baker had probably been burning since last night, but was not seen from here until this morning, when she had fioated to within five miles of the shore. The burned barge was owned by the Baker Transportation company of New York. It had been learned that the revenue cutter Mohawk was to-day sent from Tompkinsville, Staten Island, and the wrecking tug North America from the Delaware Breakwater to the aid of the barge.
 It was first reported that the vessel on fire was an ocean liner.
