WASHINGTON, December 26--The Star
this evening, foreshadowing the course OF
eyruts In Congress during the re nainder
~ the session. says: THE House will take
no action upon the bill making appropria-
tons for the naval service for the succeed
ing six months. which was PISSED In the
Senate Just before the holiday ADJOURN
ment. and the House Naval Committee will
not recognizeiit in their consideration ofthe
subject. The bill has been sent 20 the Sec
retary Of the Navy, however, with de.
tailed comparison between itiand that for
The first six months. This showsit to be
practically an appropriation for three
months instead OF six, as Il appropriates
no more than would probably have to be
expended between THIS and the fth OF
March, and some OF the Democrats In the
House say 1t was the purpose otthe Senate
to make an appropriation to last Just thst
long, and leave the navy without money
when Cleveland comes in. IL tile money
should thus be all expended on toe 4th
Of March the navy, under the new Admins
trstion. would be without money until the
1st OF July unless an extra session OF the
House was called to provide for the de-
fcleDcy. The statement furnished to the
Secretary OF the Navy shows that this bill
would give the navy 1900. 900 less than they
had for the first half Of the year, and $780,
COO less than they would have had for the
half year II the original bill OF the
House had passed. For the tir-t half Of
the year The Bureau Of Equipment
and Repairs has had Si00.0OO. This bill
provides that they shall havs bat s29S.000
for current expenses Of the Bureau. Sew
enty-five thousand dollars was appropriated
for the first half Of the year, while the Sen.
ate now proposes TO give them hut $4,000.
For the Bureau OF Navigation $4,000 was
given; the Senate now proposes S25,0O).
The bill for the first STA months appr0-
pTiated 100000 for expenses OF the Bureau
Of steam Engineering while the Senate's
bin for the last half appropriates but $780,
geo. The members OF the House committee
say that the expenses 81 the Davy bureaus
are uniform the year through. aud that II
the appropriation for the last six months
were so much less than that for the first. it
would be all expended before the year is
up. The impression prevails that II the
senate does not recede from its position
entirely the House will simply pass apprO-
priations for the next fiscal year, and after
the 4th Of March an extra session will have
