HUlftKM OIIIIMj Englarv J Building Largest War Vessel Ever Planned UNITED STATES TO BETTIR THAT Washington Naval Circles Excited Over Report That Keel ia About to be Laid Down New Ship to Be of No Less Than 30.000 Tons Dis placement, and Design is Believed to Include Many Novelties, Iuciud ing Assembling of Three Gunu in Each Turret. ?? ? Washington, Special.- Naval cir cles are agitated over a report which reaches Washington that ihe llriti.-h admiralty is about to lay down the keel for u giant ship that will bo f>0 per cent greater in tonnage than tba redoubtable ' * Dreadnought." It is difficult to secure any information respecting the plans for this ship, and it is said that the Itritish govern nieut s agian proceeding, as it ?Ii< 1 in the ease of the Dreadnought, to build the vessel behind closed gates./ Even tually, of emirse, the man character istics of war vessels built under 1 lies'* conditions become known, but the British government feels tliat it Is amply repaid fur the trouble it takes to build the ship secretly, by the fact that the British navy is therein kept a( least two years ahead of any other navy in point of design, a most valuable consideration in these days, when a battleship is fre quently obsolete in the course of live years alter going into commission. It is understood that/the new sh'p is to be of no less Ufiui :ln,lHJ() ton* displacement, rfgainst 20,000 tdjj.s of the Dreadnought, but aside from the mere matter of superior size, the de sign is believed to include mayy nov elties some based on the experience ot the Dreadnought. Such a one, I'o/ inslaiuoi.-i^ understood to b<" the con templated assembling of three guns ? n each turret, so that if the new shi, is equalled with the six turrets, she 'vi I carry no less than IS guns in her main battery. The e;dihre of tin* guns, however, will, it is believed, re main at 12 inches, the present stand aid. Ihe report of the British plan has caused som<? of Ihe bolder design:>rs to proceed to greater length, and to propose the.Ia\ing down of n battle ship ot -10.000 toils displacement, placing'the American navy clearly in Ihe lead. Naval designers are be lieved to be willing to undertake the construction of such a ship. It would co.*t no less than *20/)00,000, but in view of the predamirlanco it would give to America as a naval power it is argued by the advocates of the proposition that such a ship would be an economical investment- by tend ing to ensure penoo. 100 Additional Union Mechanics Join Building Trades Strike.

The Southern - Railway has giirreudorod to ih?> Slate ! Of Alabama.

I The Governor was also about to call a special Hussion of tho l.oKiBlaturo for tho passage of drastic laws.

Beginning on the ..first of next I month tho Southern road and all its ' allied lines will put into effect tho two and one-half cent passenger rato and will rodiicc tluj freight rates on | i xO coniniodltlea. In recognition of I this tho Governor has restored tho II censo of tho railway to oporato In 1 Alabama. Tho corporation further agreea that It will recognize tho Slate courts and not take any suits into tho Fed- i oral courts until they have -been passed upon by tho Judiciary ofjSUa- ! hatna. It was because the railroad i took a case from the Stato to tho Federal Court (hat Its license was revoked. The settlement means that i tho corporation will not attempt to use Federal Judges in any technical light against Stato laws. Tho rato legislation, both as to pas sengers and freight, Is accepted for . tho time. The agreement declares thnt their operation of tho laws Is subject to Judicial determination as to their constitutionality and reason ableness. Meanwhile, tho other laws enacted by tho Legislature last win- j tor affecting railroads will remain i under the injunction granted by , Judge Thomas G. Jones of the Fed eral Court. The railroads agree that they will ask Judge Joiiob to modify the re straining orders Issued two months ago so as to permit of the immediate operation of the two passenger knd ; freight acts In question. The com-! promise affects only tho Southern Railroad. Tho other systems of tho State wore not parties to the confer- | enco, but It Is conceded that they will follow the Southern road. Governor Comer says that all fric tion Is now at an end. The railway company, ho Bays, has recognized the | ?OVereignty 'or Alabama.
