received a total vote of 1900 although

Notwithstanding the claims made by the
Swallow and jerks leaders however, the
Republican party managers claim that
tho alleged disaffection i'm the party will
have no other effect than TO slightly re-
duce the party vote for Stone, and State
Chairman Elkin tonight claims that the

White Men Standing Together Under
Democratic Flag.

JACKSONVILLE. FLA, November g.
on Tuesday Florida will elect two jus
tees OF the Supreme Court, three mem
bers Of the Railroad Commission. a State
Treasurer a Legislature, which will meet
in April, and name a successor TO Senator
PascO, and two congressman, 10 succeed
S. NJ. Sparkman, in the First District, and
r. w. Davis, in the Second. Both are
Democrats, and each has been nominated
10 succeed himself. Their only opponents
are u. r. Gunley and Herbert Anderson,
both Republicans. The Populists have no
ticket in the field.
Gunley and Anderson are white Re-
publicans of more than average intelli-
gence. They have made a more active
canvass Of the districts than has been
made since the days OF Horatio Bisbee
In 1895 Sparkman had a majority of 1851
and Davis one Of 5,536-thls over the com
bined opposition OF Gold Democrats and
Republicans.
WHITES AGAIN TOGETHER.
The Gold Democrats have returned TO
the Democratic fold. and POpulism has
gradually returned TO the party from
which it became estranged, so that the
State chairman OF the Democratic Execu-
tive Committee predicts that every Demo-
cratic congressman will be returned by
even larger majority than I'm 1896
In Florida the causes influencing the
return Of the Populsts and Gold Demo-
Gratis to the old party are in less degree
the same as those obtaining in North
Carolina.

According to present indications,
the Krupp process Of hardening

be giving results superior to The older
and better known Harvey process
Some trials recently made in the
United States, at Washington, d. c.
| showed that ~prjectiles with Il strik.
ing velocity OF 1000 feet per second
passed clean through q Harveyized
nickel steel plate, while the striking
velocity of a pnjectiie of the same
caliber had to lie raised TO 1850 feet
per second before it passed though a
| Krupp uickel-steel plate Of the same
thickness. The rule in such cases is
that a proiectile will pass through US
many inches of wrought iron for each
thousand feet per second OF striking
| velocity as il Is inches in calioer.
Thus II 6-inch p~rujectiIe with 1000
feet per second Of striking velocity
will just ]perforate six inches OF
wrought iron; while with n striking
velocity OF 1000 feet per second it
will Just perforate twelve inches OF
wrought iron. As the resistance Of
Harve! lied nickeI-steel is exactly
double that OF wrought iron, We must
use twice the striking velocity to per-
forate a plate of this material. 1t is
evident that a projsctile OF the cali
Der usel in the Washington trials
