IDAHO, THE QUEEN OF
The NAVY, AFLOAT
Uncle Sans Biggest War Ship, Launched at
Camden Gigantic Dreadnought Christened
BY Governors Granddaughter.

The following account Of the re-
cent launching OF the battleship. Id
aho, at the yards pf the New York
shipbuilding company in Camden
N. j., is taken from the Philadelphia
Public Ledger:
A tense lull- almost anything
could have happened in that last mo-
ment. for the prize was big and the
enemy is daring; The feeble tinkle Of
q shattered bottle. and then
The largest and heaviest battleship
In the United States navy slid into
the placid waters OF the Delaware.

mony and more lmpressiveness than
doubtless has ever before attended
the launching ol superdread-
naught. the U. s 8. Idaho was
launched at the yards OF the New
York Shipbuilding Corporation IN
Camden at 9:45 this morning.
Scarcely had Miss Henrietta Anne
liza Simons. the fourteen-year-old
grand daughter Of Governor Moses
Alexander. OF Idaho, sprinkied itr
nose with the champagne, when the
ship, like huge red monster, moved
lazily down the ways.
Thousands Of wbrkmen, In work
ing jeans and overalls, who had
made this Titan grow. instinctively
let out q cheer, of admiration az the
great hulk OF boat cleared the yard
and sat as gracefully and apparently
as lightly as a BIT bf down, upon ths
broad surface OF the river.
Hundreds Of jackies. who had
come over from the United state
torpedo boat Dowhes at the nav!
yards barred their heads, and tht
guests. numbering less than = dozen
were visibly affected. The eyes o
the governor of Idaho were moist a.
were the eyes OF rhany Of the othe
spectators.
Everywhere the air was electri
with precaution..
The hull and machinery of thi
dreadnought alone cost $7,260sOO0
With her guns and armorplate Il /
expected she will cost about 912,
100000. The benefit of the doub
