Jacksonville, April .—Senator Fletcher, who has just returned to the city from Washington, was asked yesterday about the recent change in the re-districting of the State in ref erence to the customs collectorship.

This order was made at 11 a. m., just about onme hour before Congress adjourned on March 4 for the inauguration. The result was that there was no time left in which to make a change in the arrangements.

Farris will be the speaker of the next House of Representatives in the i Florida Legislature.

When he was elected last fall his friends over the State asked him to become a can- didate for the chair again and prom- ised to give him their undivided sup- port.
