A late New York special says that

seas viii be constructed az the Brook
Ign navy yard, and when completed
win be the monarch OF the United
States navy, and the equal in fight
ing power and tonnage Of any other
ship anoat,
The contract to build the Florida
was given ta 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 Boards Of trade, Con
gressmen, Senators and everyone that
could exert authority with the Wash
ington officials were lighting night and
day to get the battleship built here.
The argument Of the experts In
Washington was that private build
ers 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 vestaI was started at the.
navy yard. From Naval Constructor
Baxter down to the humbIest appren-
tice the feeling was rampant that the
only thing 70 be done TO have the ship
built here was TO show good results IN
the vestal.
Now that the giant collier Is fn-
lbhed 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 battIeship Is a greater task than
the construction OF collier. the work
ers at the navy yard have no fear that
they viii not make as good rec
ord ON the Florida as they did 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. the ways
on which the latter was built will
have to be heightened hundred feet.
To do this, part Of a storehouse viii
have 20 DO raEed. as there is not room
for the extension on the landslide.
After the building - razed. and the
ways lengthenee. they win be under.
mined, so tnat the railroad OF the
navy yard can pass beneath them
Another interesting feature OF the
building Of the new battleship Is the
fact that a new monster cantiIeyer
crane will be erected. so the steel
and other material VIII be hauled 70
the workers nearly twice a. fast as
they we're while the vestal was being
built. The crane ls now in the course
Of construction. and win be ready
