OPPOSES THE DOUBLE TURRETS.
New Attempt to Change the Battery Plan
of the Kearsarae and Kentucky.

VI Inc heHrhHFSe ana henturky.
WAsHISGToN. June 6.-Now that the battle
ships Kearsarge and Kentucky are approach
ing completion at Newport News. considerable
opposition is being manifested 10 the retention
of the double-deck turrets on them. Capt
Folger, who is 10 command the Kearsarge. has
been hero recently. and is understood to have
been outspoken against the system and to
have recommended that. before the armament
and all the turrets are placed on board consid-
Grafton be given to the question Of substituting
practically new batteries for both vessels
The invention OF the turrets Is attributed to
Admiral Sampson. who was Chief OF Ordnance
at the time the plans were approved. although
the actual designer was Lieut.. Strauss. who
was then attached to the bureau When the
subject was under consideration by the Board
OF Bureau Chiefs intense opposition to the
TO its adoption was Admiral Hichborn. the
Chief Naval Constructor. who contended that
the turrets should not he superpOsed or that
no heavier guns than l2-inch rifles should he
carried Admiral sampson argued in favor OF
both turrats and OF l3-inch guns and after a
controversy last ing months the double deck
type was adopted.
Importance is given to Capt Folger's disap-
prevail OF the plan. owing o the fact hat he was
the predecessor OF Admiral Sampson in the
Ordnance Bureau. Should there he any change
directed It will involve general Encouragement
OF the battery. and no doubt result in delaying
the completion Of the ships several months
admiral Hichborn will not approve any modi-
hcation in the present proposed battery. and
believes that 1t will be wise to give the ships
trial
