CONTROVERSY ENDED,
The Texas" WIN Be Hs Built Accord
ing to the Hnglish DesAsns.

An advertisement has been issued BY the
navy department, inviting proposals for fur.
nishing about 63l tons of steel plates for the
armor of the battle ship Texas" This
marks the end of the controversy which
has been going on within the department for
some time. The plans for the Texas were
purchased by Secretary Whitney in Eng
land and given to Naval Constructor Bowles
of the Portsmouth yard to execute. There
was belief in the bureau of construction
and repair that the Texas. il built according
to the plans, would not carry her full weight
but would sink so deep that her rAtesof speed
would be seriously interfered with. even If
her gun deck did not 60 below the water.
This opinion 10 shared by other officials in
the department. Constructor Rowles 10 con.
tident that thief calculations Of the English
designer 10 correct that she would float on
the level he marked out for the water line.
The question whether the Texas should be
built according to the plans furnished have
been under consideration for some time. Pub
LEGATION of the advertisement means that
Secretary Tracy has determined to have the
plans purchased by his predecessor carried
out. Bids will be opened Oct. l. On the
sanlt date proposals will be opened for fur
nishing materials for constructing the Mon.
itor Amphitrite at the Portsmouth navy yard
and for furnishing machines and tools re-
quired by the bureau Of construction ut the
navy yards at Brooklyn and Portsmouth.
