but could go no farther. \ line Of policemen

Chamberlain the privilege OF ascending the
stairs. and thus. though the deep interest
which the people felt, held them to the build

that his honest feelings were deeply shocked:
his voice trembled and the weight of horror
almost entirely stified it. Bat with manly
effort he struggled through, requesting that
he might not be appointed chairman of that
committee

were pas .cd, the House entered into an

went out. and having eaten their dinner re-
turned, so that each might have something
to sustain the inner man in this great effort

waited in hopes that the gubernatoral COM

before another day passed they would have a
Governor, that, right or wrong. their

his mouth his face rescmbcd a poorly in

Other iShts.
Tn" Indian from Orono, was present to-day,
and there was some talk among the states
men of naturalizing him and swearing him in
so as to form quorum.
Major Dickcy bubblcd over with talk yes
ter,lav. one of his absurd remarks was. when
talking about bribers that Sproul ''should be
made to disclose, or be imprisoned until he
did" He further said that the position taken
by the journal of Friday, regarding the Presi-
dent of the Senate. was a correct one. That
until governor was elected we were enjoy
ing an interregnum.
Senator Atwell of Orono said to-day that
he wasn't at all pleased with the present state
of affairs, that he would much prefer to be at
home chopping logs.
Acting Speaker Talbot appeared disconso-
late yesterday, during the whole session he
had no opportunity of display ing his non
sense. Doubtless he had prepared some
sharp and cutting replies for Mr.. Hale. but
they were of no use. Well, perhaps they
will kccp-perhaps keep until he finds himself
removed from the position which he illegally
holds and fills with such a lack of dignity.
