RIDDLRBRRGER's DRUNK.
A Red Nose and White Rose Make a
Stir In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb Ex-senator Riddle
berger seems disposed to spend his last week
in the Senate annoying his republican
colleagues. He came up to the Senate to-
day in high state of int xication with n
very red face and a white rose IA his but
ton-hole, determined to bring about an ex
ecutive session If he possibly could, so as to
have some nominations in which he is inter-
ested confirmed. He did not attend the
caucus of the republican senators, spending
his time in the restaurant instead until the
Senate met.
IGNORES THE CAUCUS.
Paying no attention to the disposition of
the caucus not to consider any more nomi-
nations, a few army and navy promotions
alone excepted, Riddleberger tegan at
once to talk TO the democratic senators
about coalition between him and them,
which would bring about the executive
session. They both desired it with
its possible combinations. The democrats
told him they would vote for motion to
60 into executive session by whom soever
offered. Enc ,uraged by this and bv the
hope that one or more republican votes
could be had for suoh a motion, in spite OF
the caucus decision, Riddleberger inter
rupted the business OF the Senate half
dozen times between his repeated visits TO
the restaurant with motions to go into
executive session.
FINALLY BECAME ANGRY.
His repeated repulses by the presiding
officer aud the constant criticisms and ap-
peals OF his republican colleagues only
angered him, so that having been put of
from time to time on one plea after
ano her, when finally the hour OF 3 O'clock
arrived and the eulogies on the late Repre-
sentative Burnes Of Missouri were about to
be pronounced under the agreement made
shocked the Senate by suggesting in a
poned and moved to proceed to the consid-
GRAFTON Of executive business. OF course,
his motion was voted down almost unani-
mously and then he went swearing out of the
Senate vowing vengeance on the morrow,
WAITING FOR INGALLS, SPEECH.
The crowds in the galleries who had been
waiti for hours to hear Senator Ingalls,
deliver his eulogy on Burnes, breathed a
sigh OF relief, and listening patiently to
Senator Cockrell, who has a nasal twhng
and "A raspy voice, we're soon repaid by the
eloquence of Senator ingalls,. Oddly enough
Senator Voorhees, followed Senator
ingalls,. Those in the galleries who
had heard their slang and hanging speeches
the st time they faced each other across
the Senate could not but mark the contrast
be ween the two occasions Senator ingalls,
sat in his seat listening to Senator Voorhees,
to the end. So did Mrs. Ingalls, aud Miss
Ethel, who had come up to hear Senator
Ingalls, speak.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ga caucus Of re-
publican senator's was held this morning for
the purpose of deciding upon the order of
business in the Senate during the remain der
of the session, and particularly what course
should he adopted with regard TO Mr..
Evarts' election resolution. 1t was finaliy Y

rily from time to time. and allow other
measures to be taken up.
WHAT WILL BE DONE.

authorized Mr.. Evarts to appoint a com
mittee TO arrange a programme after con-
sultation with the democratic senator's
Meanwhile Mr.. Evarts' res Jlution is the

pose 70 prevent consideration Of measures

REPUBLICANS HELP MILLS.
Randall Has Little or No Chance to
Garry Out His Plans.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The republicans
turned in and helpad Mr.. Mills to-day by
flibustering against taking up the Sullivan
Felton contested election case. This pre-
vented the consideration of any of the ap-
preparation bills, which Mr.. Randall will
have to let tn ough before he calls up his
coercive amendment to the rules. There is
now no prospect of its adoption. The theory
that Mr.. Randall can bring forward lis
tobacco and internal revenue Till and
put it through under a suspension of the
rules is based upon the suggestion that
Speaker Carlisle would recognize Mr.. Ran
dali to make a motion to suspend the rules
to pass the bill. This IL, of course, begging
the question. Mr.. Carlisle is not in alli-
ance with Mr. Ra dali. The Fiftieth con-
gress will adjourn without reducing taxa
tion, because the republicans and Mr.. Ran
dali would not agree to any Of the PROPOSE
tions offered by the tariff reformers.

SIX PENSION vRToEs.
One of the Applicants had Been AL

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-President Cleve-
land to-day vetoed six private pension bills.
five of which originated in the House and
one in the Senate. The bills granting pen
sions to Squire Walter, Henry V. Bass,
William Barnes and John ]. Jockey were
disapproved upon the ground that the death
or disability Of the soldier, on account of
which pension is sought, was not due to
his military service. A bill in favor of
Edwin w. Warner was vetoed because of
the fact that prior to the passage of the
bill pension of $1S per month, with $4,000
arrearages, had been allowed by the PEN
sion bureau.
SERVICE PENSIONS.
AS to the case Of John McCool the Pres
ident, in his veto message, says:
The report of the committee in the House of
Representatives recommending the passage OF
this bill contains no intimatlon that there exists
any disability contracted in the military service,
but distinctly declares that the pension recon-
menaed is a service pension, aud states that the
beneficiary is blind AS long as the policy of
granting pensions for disab lity traceable to in
cidents Of army service is adhered to, the allow.
ance of pensions by special acts based upon
service only gives rise to unjust and unfair dis
ordinations among tn SO equally entitled, and
makes p ecedents which viii eventu lily result
in an entire departure from the principle upon
which pensions are now awarded.
