ing temporarily to increase the number OF

everybody knew that il this was done 1t would be
impossible to get the force in the navy back to Its
present standard. Mr. Sherman did not oppose the
Dill under consideration. but he wished to put an
immediate stop to any further expenditures In this
direction. Congress, he thought, should meet the
liabilities that the Secretary of the Navy has already
incurred and pay for the work already done, but
that was all.
The Senate having agreed to take no holiday
recess there was no need of giving to the President
and Secretary the extraordinary power to transfer
appropriations from one bureau to another and so
that clause of the bill stricken out and the Dill
passed. Secretary Robeson. when in consultation
with the Senate Committee to-day, told them that
the $40OO0O0 asked for was necessary to meet ex-
pendItures for which he would be personally respOn-
sible If an appropriation was not made He was
asked about the six ships that he was building, and

mitted that he had been some time at work on the
vessels named, and that the repairs on them were
quite extensive. These are the vessels which are
being entirely rebuilt except small piece Of timber

fBY TELEGRAPH TO rHE TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON, Dec 17.-One Department at least.
the Navy has no idea of economy, just at present.
The bill appropriating g. 100000 to meet the extra
ordinary expenditures made necessary by the Viz
gnius affair was passed by the Senate to-day, but
not until Sherman had raised his warning voice
against extravagance in every department OF
the public service. and placed himself on
record against any further expenditures upon our
almost useless ships. Sherman also took this occa-
sion to call the attention Of the Senate to the cond-
ton of the finances of the country and showed how
nearly parallel was the history of the present time
with that of the panic of 1857. Just before that
occurred the revenues of the Government had been
unusually great and the Secretary of the Treasury
had been authorized to purchase the bonded debt OF
the nation, even at high premium. The tarin on
imports had been reduced 20 per cent, and the ap-
preparations increased to q figure far beyond any
thing that had before been known Then camo the
panic, followed by falling of Of revenues and
deficiency. The Democrats were then in power,
both in the executive and in the legislative branches
of the Government But the Republicans united
with them, sinking party differences, in reducing
expenditures in every direction. He called atten-
ton to the fact that the beads of departmentshave
it in their power to have vast influence through the
appropriations of the present year. There Is gen.
era impression that. when appropriation has been
made by Congress, the Secretary under whose con-
troll it comes is bound to pay out the money.
This Mr. Sherman said, was not 80 IL
is only when some law has been passed
directing certain thing to be done and sn appro-
pristion made in pursuance Of that lsw, tnat
the discretion is taken ont of the hands Of the Sec
rotary. In ordinary casn when appropriations are

power to make the expenditure. but to leave 1t en-

accounts for the fact that the intelligence of their
release has not been communicated to the Govern
ment. The following dispatch was received tonight
