It is likely that the present month will witness the laying of the keel of the Florida, the t!;Cot auu uiuat powerful of the ves sels of Uncle Sam's navy. The 20.-000-ton leviathan of the seas will be the monarch of the United States navy and the equal In fighting power and tonnage of any other ship afloat The contract to build the Florida waa given to the local yard after one of the greatest campaigns was waged to force the navy department to let the workers of the Brooklyn navy yard build her. Board of trade congressman, senators and every one that 'could exert authority with the Washington officials were fighting night and day to get the battleship built here. The argument of the experts in Washington was that private builders could construct a warship or any other kind of vessel cheaper and quicker than government workers. At the time that all this was going on the collier Vesta! was started at the navy yard. From' Naval Constructor Baxton down to the humblest appren tice the feeling was rampant that the only thing to be done to have the ship built here was to show good results in the Vestal. Now that, the giant collier is fin ished and all records for quick and cheap construction are broken, the men at the navy yard are waiting with Interest for the keel of the Flor ida to be laid. Although the building of a battleship is a greater task than the construction of a collier, the work ers at the yard have no fear that that they will not make as good on the Vestal, for they have also built the battleship Connecticut, now the pride of the navy. . The new fighting monster Is so much larger than . the Connecticut that the ways on which the latter was built have to be lengthened a hundred feet. To do this, part of a storehouse will have to be rated, as there Is not room for the extension of the ways on the landslide. After the building is razed and the waya lengthened, they will be undermined so that the rail road of the navy yard can pass be neath them. v Another Interesting feature of the building of the new battleship Is the fact that a new monster cantilever crane will be erected, so the steel and other material will be hauled to the workers nearly twice at fast as they were while the Vestal was being built. The crane Is now In the course of construction and will v be ready, soon after the Florida is started. Spanish Heroes Fanule. Boston. Sept. t.
