MIR. MR.RIDDLEBERG SCRAPE
The Record of His Arrest Ex-
plunged by Resolutions.
WASHINGTON, March 4.-The sad
incident of last night, when Senator
Riddleberger was elected from the
senate chamber by the sergeant-at-arms,
had pathetic sequel later. When the
senate went into executive session at one
o'clock this morning, on motion of Mr..
EdmundS, it was for the purpose of
taking action on request of Mr.,
Daniel, of Va, that the record of the
oiiSoC VI ihi. hiuuiCoClSCI uC CApuHSCu
from the journal of the senate, and in
support of his request, Mr.. Daniel
made one of the most path
etic speeches that has ever
been heard on the senate
floor. The muscles of his face quivered
as he spoke and tears rolled down his
cheeks unchecked. He said that while
Mr.. Riddieberger was his opponent
politically, personally they were
friends. He spoke of the besetting sin
of his colleague, and of the wife and
the seven children. two of whom had
witnessed from the gallery the painful
incident of the night. He said that he
did not blame the presiding officer, be-
cause he had only done what he had to
do. The story had been published far
and wide in the newspapers, but he
asked that the senate would not make
it matter of official record for future
generations to point to. The question
was raised whether the formal ex-
oneratiOn of Mr.. Riddleberger would
not be reflection on the pres
iding officer. MIR. Ingalls, said that he
was willing to allow his reputation
to rest with those who were in
the galleries and on the floor
at the time the incident occurred.
He had no objection to granting the re-
quest of Senator Daniel. Accordingly
the request was granted, and the record
was eXpunged. This released Mr.. Rid
dleberger from arrest. He did not take
advantage of this action to appear on
the floor of the senate to-day, however.
