The ses sion has been an Interesting one, full the visiting delegate for noon an Immense crowd surged In say they have been splendidly enter to witness the baptism of the latest tnfned. The conclave opened Monday addition to the nation's fleet. Orouped morning with an informal reception to A la -about the wharves and dotting th i river for miles around were craft of ' every description, from local excursion Doata to roreign steamers. Christened by Kiss Ansel. Governor Ansel of South Carolina was one of the conspicuous figures on tho christening stand. The ceremony of naming the big battleship was per- lormea Dy trie governor s aaugnter, Miss Frederlcka Ansel. It was a few minutes past noon when the last shores were knocked from the ways and the colossal vessel began her brief Journey. Swinging aloft the wlno bottle, which was clothed with the tars and stripes. Miss Ansel crashed It against the steel bow and ottered the christening words. As the mammonn .hulk glided gracefully down the greased cradle, the enthusiasm of the crowd found vent. To the shouts and che-jrs of the people was added the din of countless boat whistles and It was not until the South Carolina was swung gracefully to In midstream that the pandemonium subsided. After the ceremonies the lnvitod "Sueats were'enterte-loed at l.inoteon"by I the officials of the shipbuilding com-' pany. Informal addresses were deliv ered by Governor Ansel and other nota bles present. Armament and Equipment. I The principal dimensions of the South Carolina are: Length between perpen diculars, 460 feet: breadth on loud water line, 80 feet; mean draft, 24 feet ffllx inches: normal dlsplaeenient. 16,0t)tt trms; full load displacement, 17.600 tons:' designed speed on trial at normal displacement, 18 H knots; horsepower, 17,000; bunker capacity, 2,100 tons. In addition to a main battery of eight 12-lnch breech-loading rifles, the South Carolina will be equipped with two sub merged torpedo tubes and will carry a secondary battery of 22 3-Inch rapid- iire guns, two tnree-pounaer semi automatic guns; eight one-Inch semi- automat lo guns, two three-Inch field pieces, and four machine guns of .30 caliber. The hull will be protected on the ; water line by a complete belt of armor eight feet wide, having a thickness of 11 inches throughout the machinery spaces ana iz incnes at tne magazine spaces. For a height of eight feet above the main belt there will be the . casemate armor, eight .inches thick at the top to ten Inches thick at the bot tom. There will be a complete pro- " tectlve? deck from stem to stern. The magazines and shell rooms will be so arranged that about one-half of the total supply of ammunition will be car ried at each end of the ship. The propelling engines will be of the vertical twin-screw, four-cylinder, triple expansion type, of a combined Indicate horsepower of 16,600. Each engine will be located In- a separate water-tight compartment. Each of the two funnels of the vessel will be 100 feet high abov the base line. The crew of the South Carolina will number 61 officers and 768 men. The South Carolina and her sister ship, the Michigan, represent the firm attempt of United States naval con structors to build ships of their type. The object of the designer was to make craft which carry as many guns of even calibre as their displacement will permit. They are nearly as pow erful as the famous English Dread naught, their displacement being 16. 000 tons against 17,000 tons of tho British vessel. Experts are of the opin ion that the lines along which Uie new hips have been built will permit them to fire as many guns broadside as the Dreadnaught can fire from her five turrets. After her trial trip the South Car: Una will go to Charleston. S. C, where a great demonstration will be held.
