DOUBLE TURRETS FOR BATTLE-SFIIPS.
SECRETARY HERBERT GIVES HIS REASONS FOR


ADOPTING THE SYSTEM
Washington April II (SpeciaD The Senate Naval
Committee has made public an interesting letter

posed turrets for battle-ships A few days ago the
Senate adopted resolution Of Senator Chandler d.

Herbcr,'s letter sent to the committee In answer
to "A request for his views. In the communica ton
the Secretary says In part:
Plans of all proposed arrangements OF the guns OF
the battie-ships were pl aced before the Board on
Construction and were thoroughly discussed

entirely new and the question OF the adoption OF the

Ramsey had. like myself, begun the consideration
of this question Impressed with the decided opinion
that the turret-system ought not to be adopt

of this system CONVINCED them as It had convinced
reasons which decided the Department to adopt the
double turret for the Kearsarge and Kentucky:
l. The double-turret plan permits better hor-
zontal range OF fire
@ 1t secures vastly greater protection to the eight
inch guns.
g. II permits the installation OF a superior rapid
fire battery.
L. 1t secures heavier fire In every direction
g. II saves the cost and weight OF four eght-nch
guns with their armor, substructure, turning en-
gnes, etc The saving In under this head, sup
posing the armor for these eght-nch turrets to be
the same In the Indiana Ia S2is.O00.
g. The tota. weight OF the double turret emplace-
ment Is less than that for one emplacement for a
thlrteen-.nch gun on board the Indiana. and It Is
less than that In some English ships by 200 tons.
The valid objection to the double-turret plan Is
that II the turning gear OF the large turre be dis
abled Il will stop the rotation of four guns As this
turning gear Is protected by the best armor In the
ship, the chances OF Its injury are diminished .

Washington, Feb. 23.-The
house is pushing ahead the ap
preparation bills with all posi-
BILE speed, with. view to an
early final adjournment. Al
ready five of the thirteen gener-
al appropriation bills have been
sent to the senate. The Indian
bill is now under consideration
and the Legislative executive
and judicial are next in order
on the calendar. The naval and
postofiice bills will be brought
In this week. When these are
disposed of but three will re-
main-the sundry civil, general
deficiency and Notifications.
The house leaders are still hope
ful that some way can be found
to secure action on the tariff
bill in the senate, but, beyond
that there appears to be little
chance for general Legislation,
except perhaps a bankruptcy
and possibly a Pacific Railroad
bill. Consequently they are
hurrying along the appropria-
ton bills and sha ping things
for an early adjournment. Mr.
Cannon, chairmano of the appro
priation committee, stated to
