The report of the Naval Bureau on Con-

shows a generally satisfactory advance
during the past month in the construc-

The battleship Maine is now 10 per cent
completed, the battleship Missouri IS per

TURRETS ON BATTLESHIPS.
Congress Likely to he Called Upon
tn Decide the Best STYLE

The long -mOoted question of the rela-
tive superiority of the superposed turret
or the ordinary turret for battleships will
doubtless be referred to Congress for de-
termination because of the wide differ
ence of opinion among the high ranking
officers of the service Heretofore the
ma iority of those whose views have been
invited by the Navy Department favored
the superposed type. and it was adopted
for a number of battleships now under
construction, and for two now in COM
mission, the Kearsage, flagship CT Rear
Admiral F. II. Higginson, of the Eastern
home station. and the Kentucky, flagship
of Rear Admiral Frederick Rodgers, on
the Asiatic station.
In the course of the consideration by
the Board on Construction of the plans TO
be submitted to Congress for the two
tirst-class battieships, Rear Admiral X.
b. Bradford, the third member, stood out
alone for the superposed type. but he has
been Joined by Capt. Charles d. Sigsbee
the junior member, having the vote in
the board to :. the majority being COM
posed of Rear Admirals Charles O'Neil
]. w. Melville, and f. T. Bowles.
With this condition of affairs in the
board, Secretary Long sought outside ad-
vice. He asked about a hundred navai
officers for their views on the subject OF
the two types Of turrets. The responses
of these officers have been received, and
show that a majority are in favor of the
superposed structure. thus offsetting the
effect of the vote in the Board on Con-
struction adverse to that type In view
of the divergence OF Views and the fact
that the plans for the two battleships
must be approved by Congress- 1t is be-
lieved that the likely disposition of the
matter will be its reference to the Senate
and the House for final decision.
