It was Senator Tilman of South

to construct. and thus promote uni

but the plan was not looked on favor
ably by other lawmakers. The ship
that Senator Tillman wanted to build
the world today, owned by Argentine.
The Rivadavia. which is now having
the finishing touches put on it, is by
no mems the largest vessel III the
world. but it does claim the distinction
of being the largest war vessel. She is
5s5 feet long and has a beam of 06
feet. almost as wide as the Impe-
rator, the German ocean liner. which is
the largest vessel afoat. The warship.
however, Is not as long as the passen-
ger vessel.
It Is armed with battery Of six tur~
rets and carries twelve twe1ve-inch
guns. These guns are of the latest
type and were bought by Argentina at
a great cost In other features the new
battleship is strictly up to date. 1t will
