NAVY BOILERS SATISFACTORY.-The Navy
Department has found a controversy on it's hands
h. reason of the announcement that the Massachu-
setts. at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. and the New
York. at the Boston yard. shall be equipped with
the water tube boilers heretofore used instead of
those OF another type. Tne makers Of the latter
boiler promptly protested TO the Navy Department
and charged that the partiality was so firmly I'm
planted that It was not possible get fair hear
ing for another type This denied by the bu-
officers. who pointed to the long Investigation
which held in regard to the rival boilers before
the recommendation was made IN favor OF the long
used type. The award of contract did not settle
the case. by any means. and the makers the re-
tected boiler complained in a long letter IN the
mean time, Acting Secretary Newberry ordered that
the contract be held up and signed pending the
investigation by and report from Judge advocate
general. This having been made. the Navy De-
partment has confirmed the recommendation of the
naval board on construction and has finally closed
Iae contract t for Tor the adopted type The only
court OF claims Secretary Bonaparte having de-
cided that the incident and the entire question of
boiler designation are closed.
