FLORIDA's REPUBLICANS.
The Mckinley Men in Control and a
Bolt to Result.

Tallahassee, Fla, March 4.-When the
republican state committee met behind
closed doors this morning at 9 o'clock to
arrange the list of delegates entitled to
seats in the convention, interest in the
proceedings became general and great ex-
element was worked up by the circula-
ton of reports that the committee had de-
cided in favor of one or the other fac
ton.
They adjourned at noon. and the con-
vention was called to order by Chairman
Eagan at ] o'clock. The election of a
temporary chairman was the first test of
the strength of the opposing factions
Joseph +. Lee and Henry w. Chandler
were put in nomination. Both are ne
groeS. Lee represented the Eagan-M Kin
ley forces and Chandler anything to down
the Eagan side. Lee received 1870 votes
and Chandler Sc.
A committee on credentials was ap-
pointed and the convention took recess
TO await for their report.
For the first time in the history of the
party in Florida, every county is repre-
scented. This announcement was received
with general applause.
The convention is nearly evenly divided
between white and negro delegates. Many
of the white delegates are men prominent
i'm professional and business circles, and
are respected in their respective localities.
1t is charged that Chairman Lee has APP
pointed men on the credentials commit
tee whose seats are contested. There is
good authority for the statement that
those opposed to the Eagan wing of the
party held a meeting this afternoon and
that representatives of twenty-six of the
fourty-four counties there represented sig
nified their intention to hold another con-
vention if those now contesting for seats
did not receive fair treatment.
A steering committee of seven was APP
pointed. the chairman thereof to deter
mine the time and manner for withdraw
ing from the state convention. Thus far
there seems to be a fair prospect for a
big row.
Chairman Eagan of the state committee
says that each of the eight national del
egates will be for Mckinley. ]. Stahl of
Canton. o.. is here for Mckinley; Frank
Willing Leach of Philadelphia represents
Quay, and Tax Commissioner Wilbur of
New York is working for Morton.
At - O'Clock tonight the credentials
committee had not reported.

THE SPEED OF TRAINS.
How 1t May BE Affected by the ROta-
ton of the Earth.
From the Railway Gazette.

From the Railway Gazette.
In 1891 the New York Central and Hud-
son river railroad ran train 1862 miles
in 425 minutes and AZ seconds or an aver
age of 6115 miles per hour. The weight of
the train was 460 900 pounds. The same
company on Sept H. this year, made the
remarkable run of the same 1861 miles in
4O7 2-3 minutes; this was an average OF
The New York Central, in starting both
times from New York city, unnecessarily
retarded it's own speed. From Albany 10
Buffalo, due west, the train encountered
not only the prevailing west wind, but the
force of the earth's revolution eastward.
owing to the dirunal rotation of the
earth bodies at the equator press forward
the earth with 2SS-2S9 of the pressure they
would were the earth deprived of its rota-
ton. If, therefore, the rotation OF the
earth could be accelerated until 1t took
only LII of the present sidereal day to
make a complete turn or revolution, the
centrifugal tendency would be increased inc e
as great as now, and bodies at the equa-
tor would have no pressure downward, or,
as we saw would weigh nothing. This
rate of revolution would not be sufficient
to deprive bodies anywhere else of their
entire weight
A train running east, at the equator,
would be lightened as compared with the
weight on a still earth. If running
due west the result would be less. And
the difference of weight between the same
train running east and west with the
same velocity, would be a certain fraction
Of its total absolute pressure. Example:
Taking a train running, say seventy feet
per second. or nearly forty-eight miles
per hour, this fraction would not be far
from 1900 part: if running sixty miles
per hour. it would be 1-l2S0 part, and If
running 100 miles per hour, or 147 feet per
second 1t would be 1-765 part, nearly; and
it would be greater and fgreater as the
speed is increased, and still greater as
both speed and weight of the train are
increased. The train of the New York
Central was 337 feet long and weighed
565. 600 pounds.
This calculation, it will be observed, as
said, will be true for the equator. The
New York Central train ran from Albany
10 Buffalo upon about the 42d parallel of
latitude and therefore, this cal
cuiation should be corrected for this lati-
tude, and would be about 7-l0 as great.

ABOLITION OF FEES.
The House Fixing the Salaries of
District Attorneys.


Washington, March AFTER passing a
few relatively unimportant bills the
House spent the rest of the days session
in the consideration in committee of the
whole of the fee and salary amendment to
the legislative, executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill. The whole time was spent
upon the appropriation fixing the salaries
of district attorneys of the federal courts,
which range from 5000 to 5000. The Sec
ton was made the target for nearly a score
of amendments, chiefly intended to in
crease the sums allotted to various dis
tricts; but the committee refused to make
instances. The salary of the attorney for
the Western district of Pennsylvania was
increased from So, 500 to $4,000, and that of
the attorney for the eastern district of
Michigan from $1,000 to $4,000. An amend
ment was agreed to requiring the attorney
general in appointing assistant district
attorneys to make his selections from res
idents of the district in which they are to
serve.
In the course of the afternoon message
was received from the Senate announcing
the disagreement of that body to the sub
stitute of the House for the Cuban resolu-
tions, and asking a conference thereon,
but no action was taken on it.
The order fer the printing of the report
OF the Nicaragua Canal Commission, made
Feb. 10, was amended so as to exclude the
printing of accompanying papers and
maps.
The conference report on the army ap-
preparation bill was agreed to.
The House at o'clock, adjourned until
tomorrow

From the Hartford Times.
With the increase of alien residents of
New York city there has been an in
creased demand for cracked and spotted
eggs. Five years ago bakers and con-
PETITIONERS were the only consumers or
cracked and spotted eggs. but Of late
years they have confined their demand
to certain grades of cheap but whole eggs

one dealer says there is more profit in
this trade than in his regular trade, ana
each year shows an increase in it, After
the eggs are purchased, the women, who
are practically jobbers in their peculiar
trade, take them to the cheap east side
stores, where they are sold by weight to
the people who work in sweat shops ana
earn a bare pittance. The cracked eggs
are viewed as a luxury, and do not sell
so well as the spotted brands. Sometimes
the market is bullish, and then stocks are
worked off rapidly. but when bear mar
ket is on, the grocer's stock of spotted
eggs goes from bad TO worse, and in order
not to suffer a total loss he takes his
stock and breaks IL into big wash boilers

THOSE WHO OBEY LAWS CAN STAY
Porte Teiegraphs Regarding Reported
Expulsions of Missionaries.

Washington, April 12.-The Turkish
legation has received from the Sublime
Porto the following: cit has been falsely
stated that missionaries would be ex-
PEELED. The Imperial government has
not taken, and does not Intend to take,
any general measure of expulsion OF
missionaries and Catholic priests. Those
among them who attended peacefully to
business are not, and will not be dis
turbed; but surely, it cannot be the same
for those who by this attitude try to dis.
turb the order and tranquility of the
country and place themselves in open
hostility towards the laws and regula-
tions in force in the Empire. The I'm.
perial government, sswatohful of the main
tenance Of public security, has duty tc
send them away from it's territory, and
in so doing it avails itself Of a
right, which nobody in all Justice could
contest.

Church Militant Under Whose Auspices
He Appeared-CongregatiO Sing
'.B1est Be the Tie That Binds" When Hs
Finished Speaking.
Chicago. April 1a.-Ater a prelude that
included the pronouncing Of the invoca
ton and repeating of the Lords Prayer
| in unison, the reading Of the tenth chap
ter of Luke commencing with the s6th
verse, singing of a hosanna, of "Nearel
My God to Thee' and America" the
greatest living agnostic, Col. Robert G.
Ingersoll, stepped to the rostrum of the
Church Militant this morning, and fol
nearly two hours expounded to the con-
gregation his views on Chow Mankind
Can Be Reformed"
The Church Militant is composed OF
a major portion of the former adherents
church, one of the greatest congregations
of that denomination in the city, and
| who, with Pastor DR.. John Rusk,
branchad off into an independent orga-
nization, as the result of the opposition OF
minority of the congregation to the
introduction of a radical change in the
conduct of the service, including the use
of an instrumental orchestra and the
at tachment to the church of an employ
ment hospital, club house and othe I
guilds.
Over 1000 people were unable to gain
admittance On the stage were 400 OF
more representative citizens, including
nearly every member of the appellate
and superior! judiciary and several county
officials, and delegates from every medi-
cal and law college and institution OF
learning in the oity and suburbs. Ever y
scot and denomination without exception
had re Oressntatives. In introduction,
Dr. Rusk characterized Col. Ingersoll as
"a man who is endeavoring to do this
world good and to make it better"
This, he said, was no time TO reason.
no time to disagree with faiths of men
or beliefs of men, when they were try ing
to make the world better than they found
it. No matter, he said, whether man
believed in God or not, II hs expounded
truth, then truth was there and God was
there.
AS Col. Ingersoll stepped to the rostrum
he was welcomed with applause that last
ed for over minute. he spoke upon the
necessity of arbitration as substitute
for war, need for new methods in the
treatment of criminals, the desirability
of the oocupany of the prairios of tie
west for homes, as panacea for the
tenement system, the question of di-
vorce, relations of capital and labor,
aud need of reform in the education OF
children.
After Col Ingersoll concluded, the con-
gregation united in singing Bleat be- the
time that bounds" and with the pro-
nouncing of the benediotion the unique
service came to an end.
