-
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. The new
steel cruiser Philadelphia was aunched at
Cramps shipyard, in this city at 11:42
o'clock this morning Added interest was
given TO the occasion by the preence of a
number of distinguished guests, chef among
them being Mrs. Harrison, vie Of the
President, an Mrs. John Wananaker. A
rumor that President Harrison night also
be present served no doubt TO attract
great many people, and when the vessel slid
off fully 70, 900 persons were assembled in and
around the great ship yard. A temporary
platform was erected at the prov of the
vessel, and on this were assembled a num-
Der OF invited guests, including large
party from Washington.
MRS. HARRIsON's PARTY.
Mrs. Harrison and Mrs Wanamaker and
party came to the city from Jenkiutown
this morning, and boarding the yacht Rest
less at the Walnut street wharf were con-
veyed to the ship yard, reaching
there at 11:15 o'clock. They were
escorted to the platform. Mrs. Harri-

Mr.. Wanamaker's family, followed A
chair was placed Immediately under the
prov of the vessel and on this Miss Minnie
Wanamaker, daughter of the Postmaster
General, who had been selected by Secre-
tary Tracy to christian the new cruiser,
was seated. She held in her hand bottle
OF champage covered with gold lace and
colored ribbons. Mrs. Harrison sat imme-
diately behind Miss Wanamaker. and was
an interested spectator of the preparations
for the launch.
THE GLIDE INTO THE WATER.
Workmen were busily engaged in cutting
away the timbers on which the keel rested,
and at about IL; 40 o'clock the saving away
of the timbers which held the vessel in place
was begun, Two minutes later it started
to move, and Miss Wanamaker, who main-
tanned her coolness, took a firm hold of the
neck of the bottle of wine, and as the Prov
of the vessel glided over her head. she struck K
it firm and quick blow
exclaiming as she did so Al chris ten thee

pieces and the fluid spattered the fair chris
tener and those nearest her, Mrs. arrison
coming in for good share. There was not
the slightest hitch, and as the immense YES
sci glided gracefully into the Delaware a
great snout went up from the assembled
thousands, which was answered by the shrill
whistles of the tugs and steamers gathered
in the stream. The Philadelphia was COW
cred with flags and bunting, and as she
slid from the ways into the stream her
entrance caused great stirring up of the
water. The vessel went out about 100
yards aud then her anchors were dropped,
and she was brought to a standstill- The
absence of machinery or ballast caused her
to rest very high in the water. Immedi-
ately after the launching the invited gues 8,
including Mrs. Harrison. were escorted to
the Office of the ship-building firm, where q
lunch was partaken of.
