THE KEEL PLATE
OF NEW BATTLESHIP LAID
CAMDEN. N. J., Feb. 25. Tho keel
plate of tho new first-class battleship
I'tali, which in to be the equal of any
fighting ship in th? world, was laid
at the Camden yards of the New York
Shipbuilding company recently. There
was little ceremony, but the group of
naval constructors ami shipbuilders who
stood wit h bared heads as tho fault
lessly welded steel plate wns adjusted
seemed to fell that this was no ordiimry
keel-laying.
The Ptah is one of tho great battle
ships for which an appropriation was
made by congress last year. She will lie
of the Prcadiiaught class, but superior
in many respects, it in said, to her pro
totype in the British navy. It is as
serted that the builders menn to estab
lish a new record for the completion of
this giant craft. I f their predictions
are fulfilled the Utah will be in rendi
