A Report from Commodore SYcard
Showing the Progress Made Dur.
ing the Kear


WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-Commander
Montgomery Sycard, chief of the bureau
of ordnance, in his annual report to the Sec
retary of the navy, says that during the
year a number of the SiX-inch high power
steel guns have been finished and fired at
the naval ordnance proving ground. They
have all endured proof in
vEBY SATISFACTORY MANNER,
and over 1000 feet muzzle velocity was
readily obtained with standard pow
der and projectiles aid moderate
chamber presSureS. Work on smaller guns
and gun parts and machinery is reported as
having progressed satisfactorily. Under
the head of projectileS the commodore COM
ments on the unsuitable character of cast
iron as a material for projectiles intended
to be used in high power guns, and the
failure of steelmakers to supply unham-
mered cast steel shells of good quality.
Under the head Of machine guns and cannon
the report notes the tendency abroad to in
crease the callber of such cannon, and the
opinion is expressed that pieces throwing
projectiles of twenty and thirty pounds will
soon be perfected. Cartridges for Hotch-
kiss guns have been
PRODUCED IN THIS COUNTRY
which perform better than those abroad
Touching the armament of the new vessels,
the commodore says:
For the new ships approaching completion
we have eighteen six-ineh and three eight
inch and two five-inch guns finished and
three six-inch and five eight-inch well ad-
vanced, together with all the carriages for
the Atlanta and Boston, and all for the
Chicago except the eight-inch All the guns
of the secondary batteries and nearly all the
small arms have been provided, and all the
electric search lights and appendages. The
mounts for the secondary batteries are bein.
pressed, most of the powder of the
Atlanta and Boston is delivered, and tina,
for the Chicago will be ordered speedily
The equipments of the unfinished ships art
now in q forward state. As the third rat,
wooden ships are good examples of the be-
class of wooden vessels and must be depende
upon to do most of the work of the navy un
til replaced by new ships, it is desirable tina
they should receive a modern armament, a
the impression they prOouce without il is bu
Slight When they are replaced the arma
ment will answer for newer vessels.
The estimates exhibited for the next year
aggregate So. 2.741, 494, including 81, 500. 00J
toward the armament of vessels author
lied and S1Os6, $50 Tor fuel, labor, general
armament and new proving ground.
