agreed upon between them. IT is likely 10 meet

pronounced illegal in sundry particulars. and

a Virginia Congressman Drunk and Inter-
rupttng the Proceedings.

WASHINGTON March 13.-The constant
and habitual drunkenness of Beverly Doug
las. a member from the First District OF Vir-
glnia. has been a subject OF frequent remark
during this session. as well as the last session
OF the Forty-fourth Congress. He has been con-
spicuously drunk on several public occasions.
notably at the presentation OF Carpenters pic
ture. but the judicious efforts Of his friends
have prevented any dsgraceful exhibition OF
his condition. Neither their efforts. the Speak
er's gavel nor the extreme measures OF the
Sergeant Arms were able to do this to-day.
While debate was in progress In Com
mittee OF the Whole. and Mr.. Conger
OF Michigan had the floor. Douglas suddenly
came down into an aisle and. stoadying himself
on two desks. attempted disorderly inlerrup-
tion. Mr.. Cox. who occupied the chair. merci-
fully attempted to silence him with his gavel.
but Douglass was drunk enough to be violent
and waving both arms Mt the imminent risk OF
measuring his length on the floor. he stamm"r-
ed his defiance at Mizzer Speaker" and the
getl'm'n on oth'r side. and began TO move, down
and members gathered IN front OF him to
look and laugh. and the larger part OF
in vain effort to silence and lead him off. Mr..
Cox is too good n parliamentarian not to know
that. as chairman Of the Committee OF the
Whole. he had no right to direct the Sergeant
at Arms. but. mercifully anxious to prevent n
record Of this disgraceful scene. he sent Ser
geant alarms Thompson to lead Douglas of
the floor. The prompt forethought OF two or
three men who held Douglas prevented his
unges and blows at Thompson from reaching
him. and II was some minutes before. by the as
sistance Of number OF members. Douglas was
led to cloak room. The business OF the House
proceeded without notice OF THE Interruption.
From the cloak room Of the House Douglas
