WASHINGTON, March 31.-The caucus of
Republican Senators yesterday did not last
very long, and resulted in general scold all
around. At the end of the scold there was
an unusual pledge of secrecy exacted of
Senators as were present. The real truth is
the Reds are at their wits end to know what
to do to make their opposition to the admin
istration less ridiculous. 10 reject nomina-
tons, is one
GOOD WAY OF KICKING.
But only small portion of the Repubi-
can Senators think the effort of Timothy o.
Howe one of good policy or common sense.
The private differences of Republican Sena-
tors have been, during the week, most en-
phatic. Senator Angus Cameron, Howe's
colleague, who is now great lover of Hayes,
don't think the policy of
RANDOM, RAMBLING, oBJEcTLEss ATTACK
on the President good one. He has never
made any disclaimer to the President upon
the subject as has been reported, Oglesby,
of Illinois, is more inclined to take sides
with the extreme Reds. Terry, of Michi-
gan, McMillen, of Minnesota, Paddock, of
Nebraska, and Kirkwood and Allison, of
Iowa, are all inclined to remain quiet, and
don't think there is any satisfaction for the
Republican party in any attempts
TO SCALP HAYES
There is prospect of future caucuses.
The talk disclosed wide difference as to the
| belief in what is to be done, but in the main
there was beautiful harmony in opposition
to the administration. It was fully realized
that an empty fight of mere words made
against the President was too forlorn pro-
gramme to engage any one who had any
self-interest or any sef-respect remaining,
but the rank and file are in measure will
ling to compromise, if the fertile brains of
either Conkling or Blaine cannot
invent something deadly that does
not play boomerang to the seceders.
McGarrahan Case--Startling Incident.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 31.-There was an
other long day given to the McGarrahan
case. The only thing that was made per-
fectly clear was that the case on the side OF
McGarrahan is managed without system, and
the committee itself is proceeding with the
work with an almost total disregard of sys
tenn. There was a long, dreary lot of evi
dence designed to show that McGarrahar
was originally entitled to the property, but
no single substantial new fact was developed
There was, however, one very
SERIOUS INCIDENT
at the session. Elon G. Ingersoll, Exon
gresham from Illinois, is the principa
counsel for McGarrahan. He was to con
duct the cross examination. The bushes
had hardly began at the morning session
than Ingersol was seized with violent pain
about the heart which subsequently prove
to be angina pectoris- disease iron
which it is said Charles Sumner died. Fo
two hours he suffered mortal, and it wa
feared
DEATHLY AGONY,
but he recovered late in the afternoon so a
. to be removed to his house. Robert G. In
n gerson and other members of the family al
tended the sufferer. One of the new ldri
counsel was asked to-day when he expecte

y the evidence would be closed, and in til
IS coolest manner imaginable, replied that I
g the present rate of proceeding, he thought
d would take till July. McGarrahan's couns
70 are equally uncertain as to when the ca
l. will be closed. There is only one way
ic ever come to the end of the squabble, an
d that is for the committee to agree on def

ID for this, like everything else, to the en-
