WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Reprcsentative Willis, OF
New-York chairman of the Committee on Expendi-
lures in the Navy Department called on the Secre-
tary of the Navy to-day, and informed him that he
should begin the inquiry into the administration of
the Navy Department at The Secretary told
Colonel Willis that he should be glad to have
him begin, and would furnish him with every
facility that the Department afforded. The Sccre-
tary offered the chairman the use of room in The
Navy Department Building for his committee, and
access to all the books and papers the files of the
Department. The Secretary thought This plan was
preferable to a removal Of the documents to the
Capitol, and Mr. Willis agreed with him. The first
meeting of the committee will be held tomorrow.
While the Democratic caucus did not pass d.
rectly this afternoon the question Of inyestigat
ing the accusations contained in Mr. VIM. L. Cham
dler's letter. there was so strong private senti-
ment against such an inquiry that Mr. Finley Of
Ohio, who has had the resolution to be
gun one prepared for several days, was prevented
from Offering it, He first made up his mind 20 move
this resolution at the time the question came up IN
the House at the reassombling of Congress- but his
Democratic friends insisted that he should not do
it and this afternoon they turned the cold shoulder
on him again, and the movement was found TO he so
weak that i. would only have made its author IL

States at tie bar of tie House and to make argu-
ments III its favor, defeated to-day
by vote of JOY in the affirmative 10
JOG in the negative twO-thirds vote
was required for its passage. I he majority against
it would have been much greater had there been
any possibility of its adoption. The action Of the
House was in accordance with all the precedents.
The committees of the House are, and always have
been. open to the advocates of woman suffrage for
the presentation of any argumentsthey may desire 10
advance, but if they allowed to come into the
House and make speeches, precedent would be cs-
tablished which might seriously interfere with the
transaction of business. The workingmcn of the
country, the advocates of the Silver Bill and every
other class of petitioners would have equal right
to be heard and the whole time of the House would
be occupied in listening to speeches from persons
who are not members of il. The application to
speak in the Senate was refused last week.
