 Newport News. ~ The battleship Texas, greatest of the super-dread- noughts yet constructed for the United States navy, was successfully launch ed here. As the big hull, gay with bunting, started down the ways. lit. tie Miss Claudia Lyon. daughter of Col. Cecil Lyon from Texas. crashed a bottle of champagne against the bow. There was cheering and the scream Of steam whistles and sirens as the vessel gained momentum, finally plunging into the green waters of the James river.
 In the super-dreadnought Texas, the American navy how counts as it's proud possession the biggest and the most powerful battleship the world has seen. Other nations are trying desperately for the honor of owning the greatest warship. but il will be months after the Texas and her sister ship. the New York, which will be launched at the New York navy yard in July, have taken the water, before the monster ships planned to oatsize them and now under construction Tn European ship yards, will be water borne. It is deemed fitting that these two emplars of the highest skill of the shipwright should bear the names of two warships which covered them- selves with glory during the Spanish American war
 The Texas with all of her stores aboard will displace 28,367 tons, or l ,000 tons more than the great dread nought Arkansas, now about ready for commission. She is 573 feet long. 95 feet 1-2 inches beam, and she will have almost 15 feet to spare in pass ing through the Panama canal locks. Her draft will be 28 feet six inches and her speed 21 knots, which would have been high speed for a cruiser a few years ago.
