It was said 1 3-day that the road might possibly not extend as far to the we4 aud south as is desirable and necessary.

At this pointrlhe Senator went off to consult a brother Senator" on a Presi dential nomination just announced. Washington Dec. 2i. The Presi dent to-day returned to the Senate, without his approval, the bill for the erection of a public building at Bar IIarlolr, Maine. He savs: The state ment of a few facta will Bhow, I think, that the public needs do not justify the contemplated expenditure of 875,000 for the erection of a public building at Bar Harbor. Only one public office, the post office is to be -accommodated. It appears from the report of the Post master General that the rent paid by the United States for a room contain ing 875 Square feet of floor space was in 18SS, $.".00 and the expenditure for fuel and light $60 One clerk was emplaved in the post office and no carrier. The gross postal receipts for that year were $7,000. Bar Harbor is almost wholly a summer re resort. The population of the town of Eden, of which Bar Harb-r forms a part. as take- bv the census enumerators. was levs tfj ItOO. - During no quarter of a year this population 19 largely in creased by summer residents and visi tors, but for the other three quarters it is not mu?h above the census enu; meration.. The postal receipts' for 18''0, by quarters, showx that for more than half of the year, the gros receipts of the post office are about $S per day. The salary of janitor for the new building would1 be more than twice the present cost to the govern ment for rent, . fuel and light. I can not believe that upon reconsideration Congress will approve the contem plated expenditure. Washington, Dec. 24 The jury in the cae of Frank K.

Senator Morgan called upon hit reso lution ctrccu-g the CcmraUl on Privjleces and Elecvlor. to afcienl lection thirty-one of the Election trill Senator Sberman coa tended that it was not now in-order la all cp that resolution except upon formal motion. Secator Morgan fald that during hlsaervice 'in tbe ScnaU, about four-, teen ycars,the other oraciieo had bet:a in vogue. He likened the present con dition of the Senate to the coodivlon of the ycophantic Damocles with aticglo halt holding tho sword upnUed over his head. Yesterday , the little State of Rhode Inland had supe tided tbe sword over the Senate over the great State of M attach use U, Ohio and New York. Rhode Island had Jo formed tbt Senate that at tho will and pleasure not of tho proper committee, but of tho caucus7 committee, v ttxa ipeech was to be prohibited. , But these threats were not addressed to sy cophants and cowards but to men who knew their rights, and kcowlng tnem, dare maintain them. The efforts to confine speech came with cpccial ill grace from the Senators who had sat in the chamber for almott twenty jeans. The Senate , was having cloture In va rious forms and shapes. After twenty years of quiet agreement In the other practice the Senator f romOhlo suddenly had discovered cloture by , implication. This was but a part of threat. Senator Sherman made the point oi order that Senator Morgan was not entitled to the floor, but the presiding officer ruled otherwise and Senator Morgan resumed his remarks. If, he said, the sword were hung over tho heads of sycophants and cowards there might be something in it, but. when It was suspended over the representa tives of sorerlgn States of the Union, the aetion would be1 me, in no other manner than by an Indignant protest against Its injustice, its wrongfulness and its impropriety. The President thought that he was leading thismeas ure, which would apply as well to financial measures as to the Election bill. He was doing it junt as a gr-at was moving a buffalo on whoo horn he rested. The movement was in tho hands of the Senators oa the floor, who were aepirirg for the Presidency. - Pending further debate tbe hour of eleven arrived and Mr. McPhern continued his speech against the Elec tion bill. At 12:45 o'clock, on motion of Sena tor noar, the Senate adjourned till Saturday at noon with the understand ing that at that time the Vice Presi dent shall declare the Secate ad iourmd, tin Monday at noon. , , .
