RecOnstruetiOu OF the Navy.
LIVELY SESSION OF THE HOUSE NAVAL AFFAYRS

The naval affairs committee OF the House had
a lively session to-day. A fight was raised over
the clause in the bill for the reconstruc-
ton OF the navy, which provided for the
purchase of an engine abroad as . model and
for the purchase abroad OF certain steel
ships not easily IN be had here. Mr..
Thomas republican, attacked these clauses VIC
iently, making q speech OF half an hours
length In defense of his own resolution to strike
cnlef engineer OF the navy stating that any en-
CINE made abroad could be easily duplicated
here, as the department had all the plans and
specifications of the best foreign built engines.
The resolution effecting both clauses was de-
ieated by party vote. with the exception that
Mr.. McAdoo, OF New Jersey, voted with the re-
pubticans against the foreign purchases, but
the resolution TO strike out the clause requiring
the purchase OF a foreign engine was adopted,
as was another offered by Mr.. Boutelle requir-
ing the Secretary 70 buy all material and ma
chinery i'm this country that can be mad here.
letter was received from Secretary w hitney,
in which he reviewed the bill and asked that
some of the details concerning the construction
OF the vessels be omitted, SO as to give them
more latitude in the use OF improvements
He asked that the provision tor speed be better
defined. No iron-clad, he said, had yet been
built that could make an average Of Is knots;
that no torpedo cruiser had ever reached 22d
average speed. We were behind other coun-
tries in matters Of naval construction, engines,
&c. This was to be corrected by borrowing for
eign ideas and purchasing plans, &C., not by
foreign engines. He would not purchase q for
eign engine, If given that option.

THE COMMISSIONERS BEFORE THE HOUSE COM
MIrTEE IN REFERENCE TO THE ITEM FOR THE
SUPPORT OF THE INDECENT INSANE
The District appropriation bill was consid-
cred but not completed by the House appropri-
atoms committee to-day. Commissioners Ed
monds and Webb were before the committee in
answer to questions concerning the appropria-
ton for the support OF INDECENT insane, in the
estimates for which there is q difference be-
tween the Commissioners and the Secretary of
the Treasury. The Secretary's estimates amount
to $4,000 as the Districts share, while
the Commissioners estimate for only
$4,000. The Commissioners explained
that they took into consideration in their
estimates that many of those found in the
District of Columbia and sent to the asylum as
insane belonged to other states letter was
received from DR.. Godding stating the case very
clearly. and giving q division OF the patients
among the states. The facts stated in this letter
sustained the position taken by the Commits
sioners. The question which has come up every
year has always heretofore been decided in
favor of the District. The committee will meet
tomorrow at ten o'clock to complete the BILL
After that the water works extension appropri-
alton will be taken up ind disposed OF.
