WARRINGTON, D. O., Fob. 24.-Tho House
Committee Gu Naval Affatra has agroed to uoani-
mously report blu providing TINT hereafter ali
appropriations for tho naval service shall bo
ttomized. Tho Nary Department hitherto has
boon somewhat exceptional III this respect. Tho
other Departments arc obliged by Law to aubmis
estimatos separately for esoh aubtect for which
in appropriation Ia asked. Tho appropriations
for tho Navy Department havo beou made In
bulk. Owing to this form Of appropriation, 1t
has boon possible to trausfer funds
from one claAa Of appropriations to
.notnor Almoet without l'mls. In tic
rooent investigations Of tho Naval Committee,
indeed it has been proved that several war-s!lipB
have boon constructed in New England yards
hnd elsewhere out OF funds appropriated In bulk
for the repair Of slips. Various Irregularities Of
similar charRcter hhvo boon pr2ctlced and rom
tlercd possible BY theso Indefinite appropriations
in bulk. Tho proposed bill, II 1t becomes law,
will define the Responsibility Of the naval off,
cars. aud limit their discretion In tho manage
mont OF uaval Affairs the exercise OF which has
occaslonod 10 much criticism. Tho bill will bo
under tho Charge Of l,urielgh, Of Mtine, who
took the initiative towards this system In the
last Congress. Capt. Luco, Of tho North At.
lantto squadron, Ia the author Of The bill to
c1shte q commission to prepare 4 naval policy.
