lantic coast, to Tampa bay or declare the
lands granted it forfeited, was introduced
The most impor. aut measures tn Il pa sei

uniform system of common schools and
high schools, the bill to prohibit transporta-
ton companies from carrying freights on
Sunday and the bill providing for establish
ing cou ty boards of health. This gives
such boards in c3untieS where there

e,tlv advocated By the members from Pen
sac0la, Key West, Tampa and other Gulf
ports.
The legislators are working hard to wind
up all business of gen raj interest this
week They don't like the idea Of having
Sunday counted out, aud this is squirting
them to make up all the lost time possible
THE NIGHT SESSION.
The House tonight passed a number of
bills on second aud third reading. the most
important of the latter being the Sc ate
bill defining the duties of timber inspectors
and establishing standard rules of inspec-
ton. Several bills appropriating money to
various schools were under discussion and
some passed.
The legislature has got off its anti-rail-
road craze and is largely in faver of school
appropriations, which brings the chronic
economists to their feet with vigorous pro.
tests. But appropriations go through all
the same, though there is an empty treasury
only to draw from.

WAR OF THE BLACK cHURcHMEN
Baptist Preachers ThreatenEto Convert
All the MetnOdists

CHARLESTON. S. c., May 27.-The war
between the colored Baptists and Metho-
dists, which was inaugurated at GreenvilIe
last month at the meeting OF the State
Baptist convention, is growing hot and
fierce. The Baptist preachers on that occa-
sion were invited to preach il the Metho-
dist churches. They preached so effectually
and so doctrinally that a good many of
the Methodist brethren were converted to
the Baptist faith, and this provoked the ire
of the Methodist preachers, who denounced
their Baptist brethren in round terms
A BAPTIST MANIFESTO.
The Baptist brethren then issued a mani
festo, in winch they claimed that the de-
nunciation was evoked because the Metho-
dist preachers saw their congregations
slipping away from them and going over
into the Baptist fold. To-day the Metho-
dist brethren are out in another manifesto
in which the Baptist brethren are denounced
as falsiflers and liars the Baptist brethren
in reply threaten to go up to Greenville and
establish Baptist following there which
will entirely depopulat3 the Methodist
churches and leave their pastors without
congregations. The fight is gradually ex-
tending over the whole state, and both
sides are preparing for an active and war
to the knife campaign.

THE PLANS.

According to the pending plan the turrets
will be replaced with covered barbettes.
These viii, it is expected, increase the light
ing power of the guns by giving thsm a
more elevated position, while a permanent
wall of steel, above which the gus revolve,
will not be subject to an influx of water
to be as would tnrret. Then the guns are
increased in size from 10 to IL inches cali
Der, a superstructure is to be erected
amidships, which will make the vessel more
comfortable and which will also serve as a
basis for a secondary battery OF powerful
rapid fire machiae guns. To allow for this
increase in weight of ordnance it is
proposed to reduce the thickness of
the armor belt considec ably below the water
line while slightly increasing its thickness
a3ove, aud TO dispense with two boilers.
This last change would not affect the
steaming ability of the vessel, as it con-
templates the equipment of the remaining
boilers with apparatus for supplying a
forced draft, thus more than milking good
the deficiency caused by the reduction in
the number of boilers.
