The committee find tho appropriations for the

that not one dollar Of money was expended or

TRBAGRBEu EYToN HBARMYBILL
A summary of the Conference Rcport-A say
ing Of S2,Sf6,O61.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE conference
report on the Army bill will be signed to-mor-
row and will probably be presented to the two
Houses. The basis Of the agreement Ia as fol-
lows: The House to recede from It's agree ent
to the Senate's action In striking out the first
eight sections OF the bill, which provide for the
reorganiz ition of the army, reduce the nav of
army officers and their allowances, and reduce
forage. quarters, and fuel for the same. on the
part Of the Senate 1t was agreed that the other
reductions made by the House should stand,
and that the reform to be effected by the Sec
tions Of the bill stricken out should be referred
to a commission consisting Of two Representa-
uves, two Senators, two army officers, and the
General Of the Army, to be considered and re-
ported on to Congress ut the next session. The
H0ure also agreed that the appropriation for
pay OF the rank and Ole should he for 5000 men
instead OF 22,OOo, and for 5000 40 iitona Indian
scouts, and for extra cavalry horses rendered
necessary oy the disastrous results OF Crooks
and Custer,s encounters with the hostile Sioux
Indians. The results Of the struggle for econ
omy In the Army bill may be summarized as
follows:
Belknsp's original estimates, as submitted to
priation OF sSs.S4s 7os.5o. His successor, JudSe
Taft, reduced these estimates o S2s, ,793, ,70s 50.
The House appropriated tZS, le ,,33+.75 and re-

auired them to be covered into the Treasury.
aud added to the bill as II passed the House
t3,55eOe5 "A, making a total OF t27.7i55T0. The
conierees on the part Of the House succeeded
In reducing this t1,6S8,766 10, LEAVING the total
appropriation 28069. 1880. The appropriation
last year was 81 ,9BSO. 80 that the net saving
this year Is t1.S74.687, plus tbs unexpended bal
ancts OF tWl,fp, making a total saving Of g.
646,O6T.
The obstinscy OF the Senate in refusing to
agree TO the reformatory legislation OF the
House prevented much larger reduction. and
the hberality Of the House IN agreeing that the
army should stand at 5000 men, with an ad-
dition OF 300 Indian scouts, made necessary By
the ill advised and causeless Indian war. pre-
vented further red uction OF about one milton
dollars. For the little saving Effected the coun-
try will he grateful to the Democrats and hold
the Republicans responsible for the continu-
ance OF needless extravaganza.

USES IN THE NAVY.
The Report Of tho Isvcstisatins Committee
Robcson severely Censured.

wAsHNoroS, July 1.-THE majority re-
port OF the Naval Committee on abuses tn the
Navy Department will be completed and read to
the full committee tomorrow morning, aud
probably submitted to the House tomorrow
afternoon. 1t Is voluminous document, and
discourses In detail all the subjects considered
by the committee. The condition OF the navy
when the present Administration came into
power Is set out and contrasted with the present
condition Of the navy. Tho amount Of money
realized by the sale OF old vessels and m material
and appropriated by Congress Is set forth, and
what has been secured for all the outlay is shown
by quoting the opinions Of all the leading naval
officers, from Admiral down. This showing Is
Of course bad one, for millions upon millions
have been squandered, and sull we have no
navy worth speaking Of. The report then pro-
ceeds To show how this has been brought about.
First, by making oar navy yards mere political
deppts: second, oy jo5oinR contracts and.
ment from the Secretary down through ali tho
bureau officers. The loss to the Government Is
shown IN figures. and then the various phases of
tue Cattell jobbery are discussed. 1he allow
ance OF old claims and various other kindred
frauds are touched upon. The conclusions are
tnat Robson ought to be impeached for hish
crimes and misdemeabors In ONCE, but on
count Of some legal difficulties the question Of
impeachment Is referred to the judiciary Com
mittee to consider and report at the next ses-
sion. Tho severest ceDsure Is passed not only
on RobesoD. but on those OF hts bureau officers
