VALUABLES
TO ENGLAND.
Car Taking Every PreCautiOn as
to the Future : Troops and
WOrkinsmen Unite.

LONDON, Dec. 19.--A dispatch from
st. Petersburg says that all the troops
in st. Petersburg, with the exception
of the guards, will be sent to Riga. 1t
is reported that 10000 rebels, well
armed, are ready to oppose the troops.
The ear is looking to the future.
Priyy Councillor Feodroff, chief comp
troller OF the imperial household, is on
his way to London bearing an immense
amount of gold coin and precious OBJ
jects of enormous worth belonging to
the czar which he will deposit in the
Bank of England vaults.
Preparing for the worst, as he sees
it, the czar has sent the crown jewels
abroad, 1t Is widely reported. They are
his property. Everything in Russia is
his according to the theory of autoc.
racy.
A dispatch from Eydtkuhnen, Prus-
sia, says that the guard of st. Pc
tersburg express train on reaching
Eydtkuhnen reported that the troops
at Riga had joined the rebels and that
the town was on fire at several points
ana was now being bombarded.
A Russian military train in the sub
urbs was blown up and several hun
dred men killed or wounded.
The new delegates Of the Workmen's
council, who took the places of those
who We're arrested, met secretly in the
outskirts of st. Petersburg and decided
to call general strike, to begin tomor-
row. The decision has been commu-
nicated to the workmen's leaders at
Moscow. If they approve a general
strike will be declared.
A dispatch from Dorpat, province of
Livonia, says that the southern part of
Livonia and the greater part of Cour
land are completely in possession of
the insurgents. The military are still
far too feeble to cope with the situa-
ton.
The region between Riga and Wen
den is a wilderness. The buildings on
all the estates have been burned and
plundered.
The heavens to the south of Dorpat
last night reflected the glare of in
cendiary fires.
A number of German barons and
their families are held prisoners by the
insurgents.

five Votes in Kings County
More Arguments in Court.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Justice Fitz-
gerald in special term of the supreme
court heard arguments Of counsel upon
the return TO the order obtained by w.

mandamus commanding the board to
make the returns correspond with the
tally sheets when it,was clear from the
tally sheets what should be done and
where it is not clear from the tally
sheets the election inspectors are to be
summoned to make the correction.

writ of mandamus to compel the board
of canvassers to reconvene and add 125
votes to the total vote received by Will
liam Il. Hearst for mayor in Kings
county. This number was gained in
the official recount of void and pro-
tested ballots. Mr.. Hearst's plurality

HIS AUDIENCE
WAS AMUSED.
First Of Series Of Entertainments
for Free kindergarten Was
Big Success.

If all the entertainments of the
Free kindergarten Association are as
good as the first one, held at the high
school last night, the society may
rest assured that the series will be a
success.
Adrian Plate, a slight-of-hand per-
former, entertained the audience in
royal manner. Many of his tricks
were entirely new and decidedly
novel. The great part of the aud
ience were children and the young
folks were astonnded at the wonder

The buildings and houses through
out the city may be remembered as
the result of discussion of the sub
iect at the council meeting last night.
So many streets have been extended
in recent years and so many new
streets have been created that, in
scores of cases, the numbering of the
houses is badly in need of revision.
In many instances houses bear no
numbers whatever, and it is, to say
the least, confusing for letter-car-
riers, the residents themselves and
the people at large.
The matter was left in abeyance
until the next committee meeting
night of the aldermen. AT that time
the alderman from each ward will
give list of the streets, or parts Of
streets, which need REMEMBERING In
his ward and the work will probably
be commenced at date in the early
future.
Rector street, which extends from
Lewis street to Washington street, is
to be remembered, however, without

POLICE ASK
FOR A RAISE.
Aldermen, Last Night, Made
Street Commissioners Salary
$3.50 l---COmpIUIIer Also
Gets an Increase Police
Say Cost Of Living Is
High--Want a Scale.

The subject of salary increases oc-
cupied much of the time of the Board
of Aldermen last night.
A petition for an average increase
of 25 per cent, in the salary of every
member of the police force was re-
ceived. 1t was referred to the police
committee.
The ordinance to increase the sal
airy of the street commissioner
which was passed on its first reading
at the previous meeting, was passed
on it's second and final readings.
The ordinance was amended so as
to make the street commissioner
salary $1,000 per year instead
of $1,000, as was contained in
the ordinance when passed on first
reading two weeks ago The COM
missioners salary is now $1,000 per
annum.
An ordinance to make the salary
of the comptroller $S4O yearly, in
stead of S720, was introduced and
passed on its first reading.
The police set forth in their petit
tion that they consider higher pay
necessary in order to meet the ex-
penses of living necessities.
The salaries desired, per year, are
here stated, and the present salaries
are presented for comparison;
Salary Present
Desired Salary
Chief (Supt) ..$1,500 $1,000
Sgt. G Det. Sgt, .... 1900 900
Roundsman, ....... 1,1OO $40
Patrolman, ....... 1000 $40
With twelve patrolmen, one
roundsman, two sergeants, one de-
tective sergeant and chief, if all of
the same rank were made equal,
the total increase in the police ac-
count in next years city budget, if
the desired increases were granted,
would be $3,740, for the present
members of the force.
The idea is to have a graded sal
ary scale, according to the years of
service.
The present street commissioner
it is said, must resign and be reap
pointed to get the increased salary
as his term does not expire at the
end of this year The comptroller
however, is in for only one year each
term, and enters on new term the
first OF next year.
The salary increases cannot be pro-
vided for until the next years bud
get is made up March l.
