REFORM IN NAVY DEPARTMENT.
Secretary Long Forms a Board Of Ad
mirals TO Pass Upon War.
ship Plans.

NEW YORK. June 2L-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says: AS
preliminary step toward simp.ificas
ton Of the present bureau system in
the navy department, Secretary Long
has determined 10 substitute fOr the
present board OF construction, which is
composed OF bureau chiefs and is su-
preme in all matters OF naval design,
a board Of admlrals, composed of officers
not connected in any way with the
bureaus Of the department. The sec
reRry has been struck with the absur-
dity of having the designs for the COM
ponent PARTS OF hattlesnip passed upon
by the very men who are responsible for
the details Of the design. Each man has
naturally thoughE his own crow the
whitest and the result has been almost
constant pickering and disparagement
which has forced the secretary to busy
himself for a large portion OF his time
in settling disputes. The secretary has
decided to refer all disputes among bu-
reau chiefs to the board of inspection
and survey presided over by Rear ADD
miral Rogers and OF which Rear Admiral
Schley Is member. II is hoped that this
step will do much toward preventing
strife among the bureau chiefs If the
steps already taken are not sufficient
to accomplish the desired end, the SEC
retary intends to propose some legisla.
tion to the next congress which shall do
away entirely with the prerogatives Of
different naval bureaus, retaining those
bureaus sirply for the benefit OF their
expert opinion. to be given to the board
of admirals Admiral Dewey's pame
has been prominently mentioned in con-
nection with the presidency of the pro-
posed board of admirals. The bureau
chiefs generally resent the change pro-
posed by the secretary, especially Ad-
mirals Hichborn ami Melville, the
chief constructor and engineer in chief
respectively. Secretary Long Is deter
mined, however, that no officer at pres-
ent connected with any Of the bureaus
