AFTER AVIS FOR CONGRESS
Middlesex Said 10 Be Agreeable to
 Local Opponent to Sperry.

The movement to nominate Samuel R, Avis of this city as the democratic op- ponent to Congressman N, D, Sperry for the office the latter now holds as repre- sentative of the second congressional district, seems to be gaining ground and has already n fair start in Middle sex county, which pairs off with New Haven in making up the district. While the movement Is being pushed In all quarters of the district, 1t Is as yet by no means certain that MT, Avis would accept tho nomination, as it Is stated that for personal reasons alone he does not care to oppose the veteran con gressman. On the other hand there has been as vet no direct refusal on his part of the nomination, and 1t Is the belief of those who are pushing him forward 10 1t that If 1t Is offered to him he will not decline.
 While there are several other candl- dates for the nomination. including Mayor Tom Rlelly of Merden, 1t IS stated that if Mir, Avis will go Into the fight he can get the support of more than enough towns in the district to ensure hls landing. The hitch comes there. however. as Mr. Avis Is not seek Ing the office, and will not go Into the fight for the nomination.

.FLORlDA'S ORDEAL
Monitor Will Seek to Stop a Torpedo Without Going to
 the Bottom.
SHOULD SETTLE A FOOT
High Explosive May Shatter Un- tested Bulkhead and Sink
 Warship.

Washington, June 7.--The monitor Florida, shot at two weeks ago with the heaviest naval gun, will on Satur- day, June 1S, be punctured beneath her wateN line armor by the most powerful American Whitehead torpe- do The first demonstration was to test the respective strength of armor plate and explosive shell and to show the effectiveness of a new design of fighting mast. The torpedo is to be sent at the Florida that it may be definitely known whether water tight bulkhead. specially constructed within her. designed after all the most modern ideas of construction, can bo depended upon to save ship from destruction against this danger ous method of attack
 Secretary Metcalf has invited Sec retary Taft to be his guest, probably on the Maynower, to witness the dem onstration. The Florida is to be an chored over bar, probably near the Jamestown exposition grounds in Hampton roads Naval experts pre- dict that she will not be sunk by the l torpedo. but will settle about q foot. The torpedo Is to be guided to l the precise spot where the hole In tho | Florida's hull is to be made by n trolley. This trolley will consist of wire, one end of which will be fast ened to the Florida probably six or eight feet under water. The torpedo will be provided with two or more "eyelets" through which the wire will pass. The other end of the wire will be made fast to the torpedo boat Nor ris or the cruiser Montgomery now in use as torpedo training ship whichever is selected to do the firing.
 The preparations. for the trial have been under way for some time, The test originally was set for June 10, bu, 1t has since developed that the tide would not be exactly as wanted at the time of day selected until Saturday next, and that day has now been de- termined upon
 Besides ,ne secretaries of war and will be allowed to witness the demon stration, and as In the firing test the Florida will be manned with officers and a selected crew of probably thirty men The experiments are under the direct supervision of Rear Admiral Ma son, chief of the bureau of ordnance, and Captain Chambers, assistant chief,
 When the torpedo strikes, according to official prediction, there will be a splash up the side of the Florida, an explosion, and the gradual settling down of the monitor. What has actu- ally happened will not be known even to the officers, until tho Florida Is placed in dry dock, which will be done as soon as practicable thereafter
 Should tho unexpected happen, and tho bulkhead prove too fragile to with stand the high explosive the Florida will sink. II is with this contingency in mind that a place for the trial has been selected where the water fig shall low and where the monitor may be raised with the least trouble and cost
