Discussing Naval Appropriations.

Washington, March 10.—Another step was taken Monday by the house naval committee toward the completion of its appropriation bill. The items for the support of the marine corps, which are practically the same in amount as those carried by the last bill, were settled, and some minor details. There remain the questions of the number of new battleships and the building of a dry dock at Algiers, near New Orleans, which may be considered today.
