The Financial Btn Under Consider- atiOn in she Scnate-The House in Committee of the Whole on the Shipping Bill.
 WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 6.-The senate resumed the consideration of the financial bill and was addressed by MT. Teller. There never was, he said, a more unfounded slan- der published than the statement that there had been combination between republ- can senators and senators on the other side who were opposed to the elections bill. He understood that he would be subject to criticism because it would be said that he was willing to place a question of dollars and cents above what the friends of the elections bill were pleased to call ques- tion of humanity and of the right of indi viduals.
 MT. Sherman said that he would at some future time reply to some of MT. Teller's observations, but he did not care to do so now.
 Mr. Morrill, addressed the senate. He was one of those, he said, who had never believed that computation in inflated money would add to riches or that cheap
 
 not be cheap standard by which to sell.
 MT. Jones of Arkansas suggested several points on which he would like explana- tions to be made by MT. Sherman, when ever that senator would undertake to re- ply to Mr. Teller.
 MT. Vest argued in favor of the free coinage of silver and replied to MT. Nor rill's speech.
 At the close of Mir. Vests remarks the senate, on MT. Sherman's motion, went in to executive session.
 At 4:20 the doors were re-opened and the senate adjourned until tomorrow at Il o'clock.

 After discussion the bill was passed
 The house then went into committee of the whole on the shipping bill, Mir. Bur rows of Michigan in the chair.
 Addresses were made by Msssrs- Butter worth, Wheeler, Farquhar and Herbert.

Selectmen Fle1schner Agftates the
 Matter Before the Selectmen An
 Appropriation of S35,
 of the 1887 Committee-Other Town
 Matters.
 For several years past the members of the town government have felt pressing need for a workhouse in connection with the almshouse and other town buildings In 1887 a committee, consisting of Judge Lucius P. Deming, Henry W. Farnam, A. N. Wheeler and Michael Dillon was ap- pointed by town..meeting to inquire into the advisability of establishing work house in the town. The matter was dropped for one reason or another at the time but it has been prominently before the selectmen in one way or another ever since
 Selectman Fleischner at last nights meeting again brought it to the attention of the selectmen in his capacity as chair man of the committee upon outside poor He strongly advocated the immediate con struction of 8 workhouse in connection with the Springside farm buildings. He said $35, ,000 had been appropriated for this purpose by the town meeting and that such a building would save the town a great deal of money in various ways and would relieve the jail from many of the petty criminals who are sent there now. The matter was referred to the committee upon construction and repairs to investi- gate and report as early as possible.
 The committee of 1887, of which Judge Deming was chairman and Professor Far namsswas secretary, held several hearings, made visits to various workhouses throughout the country and examined the systems of poor relief in vogue in other parts of the United States aud foreign countries. The report was in two parts, the first dealing with the establish ment of 6 workhouse and the second upon poor re- lief in general
 The question was carefully considered In the matter of the estimated expenses of such an institution the committee came to the following result, after an exhaustive amount of figuring:
 One hundred inmates at g cents
