QUEEN OF THE NAVY.
The AInbnmn's Speed Trial Perform
ance Warrants That Title.

Boston, Aug. 29.-There is new
queen of the American navy, the United
States battleship Alabama, which won
the title in one of the most magnificent
speed trials yet held in the history of the
navy. Her average speed for four hours
continuous steaming was II knots, fig
ure not quite as high as that made by
another great battleship produced from
the same builders yard three years ago,
the Iowa, but notable from the fact that
1t gave an idea of the yet undevcloped
power in this latest and greatest product
of American shipbuiders.
The Alabama was built by the Cramps
at Philadelphia, and while of the first
class she is unlike any of the earlier ere
ations, both archtecturally and aS a
fighting machine. Built under a contract
that required ut least an average speed
of IL knots per hour she has been turn
ed out to do II knots or better under
conditions that will not be termed extra,
and as such she becomes probably the
fastest of our line of battle craft. The
Alabama, called after favorte state
of the south, has a name of greater sig
nificance to the American people, but it
was not simply because of her name and
the figure of II knots she made that Il
big broom was at her fOremast truck as
she dropped anchor below Boston light
\ few months ago another ship of her
class, but unlike her in very many re-
spects, built by rival shipbuilding firm
at Newport News, was sent over the
same course to meet the same require
ments and under almost identical cond
tions. The other ship, the Kearsarge,
with n name even more famous and
linked insolubly with that of the Ala
bama, exceeded her contract figure and
made an average speed of 1859 knots.
If one Kearsarge on day famous in
history had Il triumph over one Alabama.
a new craft of the same name yesterday
achieved triumph over another Kear.
sarge. Aside from the desire of the
builders of the Alabama to produce n
craft that would suit the government,
there was not little anxiety that she
beat the Kearsarges figures made ON
Nov. % last. The II knot record yes
terday is not the highest for speed trials,
but it is the highest for battlcships since
the bonus for extra speed has been abol-
ished
