Washington. March 11.-When Com
mander A. l.. Key, former naval aiGe
to the president. resumed his testimony
before the senate naval affairs commit
tee today. he proceeded 20 compare
American ships constructed since 1879
with British ships built in the same
period His diagrams tended to show
that American vessels are overdraft TO
a greater degree than The English
ships. He agreed with Admiral Remey
and Captain Winslow that the ships
should carry full bunkers of coal when
they go into action, and said that not
to do so would be preposterous.
His observations in regard to the
draft of vessels We're that the decision
of the Walker board of May, 1896, that
"battleships normal draft should be
her fighting draft, and not her maxi
mum draft with full store, on board"
had been disregarded by naval con-
struction.
How are we to remedy these al
legged violations of law" asked Till
man, who also wanted to know what
guarantee congress has that good
fighting ships would be built with the
money appropriated. This led to a gem
eral discussion and Key suggested thai
general boards. which are not respon-
sible under the law, have too much
authority This statement provoked
much differences of opinion and Chair
man Hale steered the debate into 9TH
