my theory. Richard Wagner is all the
rage nowadays. Even the French who
hate us because we are better than
they, even they play him. And yet. and
yet-the last word has not yet been
uttered. Verdi Is naive. His melodies
express--what do they express? Moth
ing! Absolutely nothing! They convey
neither the character, nor the senti-
ment of the persons. It's candy music.
But Wagner fell into the opposite ex-
treme. His music is expressive. It's
art. But it's heavy. dull. indigestible.
So I say, let us combine the two. let
us produce operas of expressive melo-
dy. of melody which should speak for
itself, unaided--nay, untrammeled, by

There was no serious interference from the
shock between the two planes of the guns.
1t is probably not so great as has always
been experienced between two contiguous

The double-deck or superimposed tur-
refs Of the battleship Kearsarge will have
a further trial today and tomorrow. The
vessel will leave Fort Monroe this morn
ing for run of forty-eight hours at sea,
and during that period her superimposed
turrets will be submitted to a test even
more severe than that Of last week. This
second run will be the final official trial
of the big battleship to determine whether
she was constructed in every way accord
ing to the contract with the Newport
News Shipbulding and Dry Dock Company
If the trial demonstrates that the vessel
does not need any alterations or repairs
she will be attached to the North Atlantic
Squadron when it arrives at Hampton
Roads about April 90
The report of Capt William NJ. Folger,
the Kearsarge's commander. on the tests
of the vessels turrets was received at the
Navy Department yesterday. It shows
that the tests were successful. After read
ing the report Rear Admiral Charles
O'Nef Chief of the Naval Bureau Of Ord
nance. and member of the Board on Con-
struction. gave to a Times reporter his
views on the tests. He said:
Since the preliminary trial Of the
Kearsarge's guns and turrets my opinion
has frequently been asked as to the con-
clusion to be drawn from the test. In re-
ply l would state that while I am graft
fed at the good results shown b. the first
trial Of the same it is not different from
what | expected. l did not suppose for
moment that the turret structure or the
vessel would prove deficient in any re-
spect, as both have been carefully and
conscientiously worked out by the Board
on Construction and Repair as have also
the various mechanical difficulties which
the scheme presented.
