by the navy department.

rms increase Contemplates two bat.
tleshlps of $4,000 tons each at Sill
S5o,4OS each, two colliers at $1,000
900 each, eight torpedo boat destroy
ers at $4,000 and four submarines at

I The bill Increases the limit of cost
OF the battleship Florida, now being
Quilt at the New York navy yard, for
hull and machinery, exclusive of ar
NOR and armament, from $4,000, 900 to
$6,400, 600
Because of the extra expense the
bill repeats the provisions in last
years naval act which authorizes one
battleship to be built in a government
navy yard. The contract for the Flor,
ida's sister ship was let by contract
we'll within the limit OF cost, while the
estimates for building the Florida, for
all purposes the same ship, in the ma
Wy yard exceeded the limit of cost for
hull and machinery by $l,500,O00, or a
total of $7,50O,OO0.
Both these ships were directed to
be built under the eight-hOur law re-
striction. The committee recommends
the repeal of this requirement and al
so OF the provision that not more than
one of the battleShips provided for

Owing to an increased number of Of
ticers and raise in the pay of many
officers due to length Of service, an
increase of $l,4O3, 400 in the pay of

ROYALTY AS THE GODFATHER
Difficulty In Europe Successfully Over
come by the Exercise OF Some
Diplomacy.

In the early days OF the reign OF the
late King Leopold of Belgium a sew
enth son was born to Brussels WON
an, and when the king heard of 1t and
was told that the boy was the seventh
successive one and that no girl had
come to the family. he asked to be the
babys godfather. Ever since then
every seventh son born In Brussels
has had the same honor, and the moth
ers have received gifts In keeping
with their station In life. King Al
bert, in carrying out the old adage
short time ago. had some difficulty
because the seventh son was twins
according to the Frankfurter Zeitung.
HE could not stand for both boys, be-
cause that would give the family two
Alberts. The remedy was found by
Queen Elizabeth, who suggested that
her little son, the duke OF Brabant.
be the godfather of the eighth boy.
who consequently received the name
Of Leopold.
