Mutiny Among the Grenadier Guards in London. HUNG AT CHARLOTTESVILLE. THE REPUBICAN LEAGUE, A Great Convention Cailgd to Order in Cin- cinnati. Crxcryxatt, Onto, April 21.—No better weather could be desired than is favoring the first day's meeting of the Republican League of the United States. Delegates arrived in great numbers on the morning trains and the various headquarters were busy with the preliminary arrangements, as well as with an exchange of views with regard to the man who shall be chosen for the presidency of the league. The eiection, however, will not take place today, Music Hall, famous for its political gather- ings, wore a gala appearance in honor of the convention. “The decorations were tasteful. nd bunting in abundance graced the portraits of Lincoln, Blaine, Gur- , Harrison and many other distinguished lenders of the republican party were to be scon on all sides, those of Lincoln and Blaine being central figures. The places assigned to the delegates from the respective states were designated by neat ban- ners bearing’the name of the states. ‘The hour fixed for the convention was 12 o'clock noon, but it was long past that time when the dele- gates began to assemble. A delegate, to relieve the monotony, started “Marching Through Georgia,” and the refrain was taken up and sung with a will by those present, ‘Then followed “Htally Arotind the lag,” “John Brown's Body” and other familiar war songs. Finally Mayor Mosely stepped upon the plat- form and welcomed the delegates on bebalf of v. Foraker did the same in the name of the state. President Squire of the Ohio clubs spoke and President Thurston responded in behalf of the National Leag Bae PINKERTON MEN ‘MMONED. Armed Detectives Sent Into the Coke Ee- gion to Keep Order. Prrtesvna, Pa., April 21.—A squad of 100 Pinkerton detectives arrived in this city early this morning from Tyrone, Pa. The men were originally from Chicago and other western cities. They refused to name their destination, but after breakfasting at the Union station they boarded a train on the Southwestern Pennsylvania railroad, which is the direct route to the coke region. "They had with them two cases of Winchester rifles. Each case contained 16 44-caliber guns. It is learned that these men have been sent into the coke region by operators who are not satisfied be- canse of Gov. Pattison’s declination to keep more of the National Guard on duty in the coke region. eget GRENADIER GUARDS MUTINY. The Third Battalion Follows the Example of the Second. Loxpox, April 21.—The Grenadier Guards are again insubordinate. At 8 o'clock this morning the third battalion stationed at Chel- sea barracks were ordered to parade in full marching order. The guardsmen, who have been in a sullen mood for sometime Past refused to obey. ‘The officers consulted und decided to communicate with the men through the non-commissioned officers of the battalion. The arguments of the latter had some effect eventually, and after a period of waiting four companies of the third battalion moved out on parade ina leisurely and slovenly manner, and presenting every possible mark of discontent and ange: ‘The remaining companies, however, refused to leave the barracks. The oldest members of the more discon- tented portion of the battalion and the men having the longest service terms were placed under arrest. ‘There was also a serious display of bad fecl- ing on the part of the guards at St. George's barracks, at the back of Trafalgar Square. These guards are also grenadiers. Those guardsmen flatly refused to parade and were put under arrest. Discontent among the guardsmen on account of excess in drill has been steadily on_ the in- crease for along time past. It is claimed by the mutineers that the issuance of orders to the battaiion to parade in full marching order upon aday when the men are expected to mount guard at the palaces and else- where, as was the case today, is unprecedented. ‘The men also assert that they have long been subjected to excessive drilling or which there was no necessity, but which was solely for the convenience of ofticers who are thus enabled to leave London on pleasure excursions. Popular sympathy is with the It is only a year since the second battalion of this famous command, which was quartered at Wellington arracks near = Buckin palace, broke out in open mutiny and were in consequence ordered to Bermuda, where they now are. ee Sieh FOR POLICEMAN SEAL’S MURDER.

MEN MUST PREPARE TO FLY. 4 NOTABER TALK AT THE OPENING OF THE AGAD- BMY OF SCIEXCES—THE SCIENCE OF FLIGHT EXPLAINED—PROF, LANGLEY EXPECTS SOME PRACTICAL RESULTS S00N. ‘The annual meeting of the scientific men who | ‘0 far as the law of the country can do it are constituted the censors of scientific thought, study and experiment in this country began today at the National Museum, This body is the National Academy of Sciences. The public meeting was held in the lecture room of the National Museum. Preparations were made there for the ses- sion by the placing on the platform of finely- made apparatus to be used in illustrating » Paper on aerodynamios by Prof. Langley, sec- Tetary of the Smithsonian Institution. On the blackboard were chalked a table giving the re- sults obtained in experiments to determine the work expended in soaring. During the morning members of the academy assembled in Prof. Goode's room at the mu- #eum for a business session, but little business was done today. ‘Tomorrow at the private ses- sion the chief business will be the election of a vice president of the academy in place of Prof. 8. P. Langley, who resigns that office Thursday At the business session in the morning the members will ballot on candidates for new members ‘There will be no public session Thursday afternoon, as on that day the members of the academy will go on an excursion down the Po- tomac at the invitation of Prof, Laugloy. ‘The Watson medal, awarded for astronomical work, will be conferred Wednesday afternoon on Dr. Arthur Anwers of Berlin, is worth 9100 in gold, and with it goes « prize in money of $100. : OFFICERS AND MEMDERS The present officers of the academy are: O.

Washington, THE PUBLIC SESSION. ‘The public session began at noon in the lec- ture room without any preliminary flourish. Besides the members of the academy present there was an audience of 95 or 100. Prof. Marsh, president of the academy, mounted the platform, placed his silk bat on the desk in front of him and simply said: “The academy will now come to order.” He then announced the first paper of the day, which was one by A. » Packard on rertber Studies on the Brain of mulus Polyphemus.” per was read by Dr. Theodore N. Gill, ie PROF. LANGLEY'S TALK. Prof. Langley was announced ay the author of the next paper. Prof. Langley did not read ‘® paper, but talked to the academy, giving the remarkable results of experiments he had made in the field of aerodynamics, Prof. Langley said he presumed the subject announced for his paper might be a surprise, as it was one the discussion of which had been contined more tothe sphere of charlatanium than that of science. It is the oe of artificial flight, the pro- pelling through the air of bodies heavier than the air. The perpetual miracle of a souring bird was so familiar, he said, that it ceased to excite wonder. About five years ago he resolved to experi- ment in the matter, and, with the pecuniary aid of a gentleman since dead, he had set up in the grounds of the Allegheny observatory a whirling machine on a scale never before tried. Its use Was to create an artificial wind. Its diameter was sixty feet and it was driven by a steam engine of ten or twelve horse power. ‘There was hardly anything, he suid, in which statements of men of most honored names were to be taken with more caution than state- ments regarding aerodynamics, because there was so little founded on actual experiment In this connection he referred to a paper by eminent French physicists, in which it was held that in order to calculate the work one must put out to tly it must first be determined how much work is required to merely suspend ‘the body in the air. Theconelusion solemnly reached is thataswal- low to fly forty miles an hour must exert one- tenth of a horse power, an eagle ten horse- power and Egyptian crane weighing forty Pounds about forty horse-power. To suppose that an eagle or buzzard is as strong as twelve or thirteen horses was zbsurb, but the idea seemed not to trouble these writers at all. Prof. Langley vaid the first experiment he made was to test the question, Does it require more power to move laterally than to stand still in the air? WHAT AN EXPERIMENT SHOWED. He explained how he had suspende’ a flat brass plate from the arm of the whirling ma- chine by a spring. When the machine was put in motion and the plate encountered an artifi- cial wind going forty miles an hour the spring instead of elongating actually shortened, show- ing that the weight or power required ‘to sus- pend the plate was lew when in motion than when it was standing still. This he considered was demonstrative evi- dence that there had been some gross concep- tions on the subject. After it was done it be- came apparent at once that what occurred should have occurred. Prof. Langley said he then begun the study of another matter connec ‘ed with it. He found that the brass plane when placed . horizontally and moved forward laterally sunk to the ground slowly as if the wir had become like dense cream or butter. He illustrated by ay Speenlear | o man skating over thin je supposed that the man went over 100 different as of ice in a second, ench cake being of mass equal to his own. In that time, he said, speaking ap- proximately, the ice would sink or yield only one one-hundredth as much as it would if he had stood during that time on one cake. By sufficiently rapid progress, he said, one could go over the most yielding surface without bending it much. He said the poet's figure of swift Camilla’s flight o'er the unbending grain was scientifically possible. IT FLOATED SLOWLY Dowx. Prof. Langley further illustrated by means of asimple apparatus. He had a thin narrow slat rass knob on the end of it. First, he let the slat with the handle downward fall from his hand while holding it stationary. Then he whirled the stick between the palms so that the horizontal plane or slat was revolved and let it fall while whirling. It was obvious that it took a second ortwo more to fall four feet while in motion than when it was dropped same She pend wien otien. en various sascesnants nok oneeaditing Sess Te delicate and ingenious apparatus by which the Tesults were recorded. ‘THE POWRR IS ATTAINABLE.

The prisoner gave his name as John Hubbard. He is a handsome man and is well dressed. It is charged that the prisoner had inserted in a Baltimore paper an advertisement offering five percent a month interest ona loan to be secured by valuable diamonds. Mr. Bergman was one of the persons who swered the advertiseasent and when be went to the house a woman, supposed to be the prisoner's wife, took the earrings from her ears. They were taken to a jewelry store, where they were valued at $2,000. Mr. Bergman returned to the house and gave up $650. “In the meanwinle the woms charged, got possession of the diamon: while the money was being counted on’ slipped a pair of inferior gems in the place of the genuine ones, After Mr. Bergman left the house he sus- pected something wrong, and on going again to the jeweiry store he learned that the od of diamonds that he then had were worth less than $100. It is said that another person Was «windled in the same manner to the extent of $800. ‘The prisoner was identified here and he retarned to Baltimore without putting officers to the tromble of procuring the 1 sary legal papers had a revol When arrested the prisoner ’ ver in his pocket. —_—_ DISTRICT GOVEKNME! THE MARKET MOUSE SQUARE. The Commissioners this morning received « letter from Mr. John A. Baker in reference to the decision of the attorney for the District in respect to the relation of the District to the wholesale market square. Mr. Baker says that the attorney misstates the law when he aseerts that the District government has the right to hold and use it under such rules and regulations as the market company prescribe, and expresses the inclination by going out of his way to muke the statement that “he understands that such regulations have been made or prescribed and are probably of record “in the office of the Commissioners. THE LAW WILL BE ENPORCED. In a letter to the Commissioners yesterday Mr. Simon Wolf, as attorney for a number of liquor men whose places of business are within the one-mile limit, requested the Commis- sioners that the people be permitted to keep open their places of business until he could file a brief showing the facts and the law bearing on these cases. ‘The paper was referred to Mr. Douglass, who wrote the following upon it: “I do not see ho’ we can grant a license by indication even for moment under the act of February 29, 1891. Col. Robert then wrote the following next to Mr. Douglass’ indorsement: “I think these saloons ‘ought to be closed at once.” sioner Ross approved the colonel's action ana the paper will now go to ice to see that the law is enforced. = REJECTED LIQUOR LICENSES. ‘The printed list in yesterday's Stan of the liquor licenses approved and rejected was the cause of a stampede among those whose licenses were rejected, and when the Commissioners came to the District building this morning they found disconsolate liquor dealers all over the building waiting to have a personal talk. Each one was heard, but no change was made in the action already taken. The liquor ques tion for 1891 will be settled this week. MISCELLANEOUS. John 8. Cissel, 1014 7th street northwest, and Jas. T. Clatworthy, 1148 7th street northwest, were granted wholesale liquor licenses today. tare“ say GEORGETOWN, FUNERAL OF THOS. 3. GREEN. ‘The funeral of Thos. J.
