 ing to do--Burnham is

After havinb been director for some time, he was put on the pay roll of the company at $500 q week. Ask ed what he did to earn that money. he said he looked over some loans for the company, was consulted by policy holders as to whether the companv was a good one to insure in and did whatever he was asked to do. He had been getting $500 week eight weeks when MT. Burnham demanded the $6.000.
 what President Burnham did with that money - explained by George D. Eldridge, vice-president and actuary of the Mutual Reserve Life Insurance Company. who testified that President Burnham told him he had given 1t to publicity agent of the company to se- cure the publication of articles favor able 10 the company aC a time when It was being criticised in the news papers.
 MT. Bell had said that he could ac- complish much more. with the money If he were not compelled to report to the company just what he expended it for. Mir Brockway said he is still a director of the company.
 President Burnham's physician told the committee today that Mir. Burnham Is to, sick to appear or ever make a deposition.

 The admission of Oklahoma and In- dian Territory as one State was the subject of the first bill introduced in the House. The bill was prepared by Delegate Mcclure of Oklahoma and Is almost Identical with the joint state hood bill of the last session. Repre- sentative Payne of New York intro- duced a Philippine tariff bill to pro- vide temporarily for the revenues of the islands. The bill stipulates that all the products grown or manufac- fured, exclusively in the islands. are to be admitted to the United States duty free, excepting tobacco and sugar. which are to pay 95 per cent of the regular duty on these products.
 Representative Robinson of Arkansas introduced three joint resolutions pro- viding for the investigation of cam paign funds. expenditures on the Pan- anna Canal and insurance companies having an interstate business. The campaign fund resolution provides for a special commission of fifteen members of the House and five members of the Sepate and stipulates that campaign funds be investigated for the years 1882, 1896, 1900 and 1904.

BILLS OF WILLIAMS
MINORITY LEADER INTRODUCES
 SEVERAL MEASURES.
One Provides for a Minimum Tariff, 20 Per Cent. Lower Than the Rates Now In
 Effect.

Washington, Dec 4.-Representative Williams of Mississippi, the leader of the miaority in the House, today intro duced d number of bills and joint reso- lutions affecting the tarin and cam paien contributions.
 The tariff measures contemplate free trade with the Philippines, reassem- bling of the United States and Cana dian joint high commission with view to freer trade relations between the United States and Canada and a mini mum tariff for the United States. These measures, 1t is believed, indicate the probable course of the minority on the subject of the tariff revision and reel procity and the question of contribu- ttons in political campaigns.
 Mir Williams said today that other bills may be looked for as he would not be satisfied with revision to the ex- tent indicated, but from his standpoint it was merely the first step in the right direction, and an invitation to the Re- publican Party to declare intentions.
 Mir. Williams also introduced bill to authorize the imposition of an in- come tax.
 The Philippine tarIf bill provides that all articles. the product and growth of the Philippines, shall be ad- mitted into the United States free of import duty and that all articles, the product and growth of the balance of he United States, shall be admitted into the Philippines free of import duty and that nothing contained in the bill shall be construed to repeal any provision of the Paris treaty between the United States and Spain.
 Another bill proposes to establish a minimum tarif of the United States It declares the existing tariff schedules to constitute the maximum tariff of the United States and a reduction of twenty per cent. from them. or rates equal to four-ffths of the existing duties to constitute the minimum tar if of the United States The bill ex- tends the operation of the minimrm tariff to all such countries as grant admission to their markets lf articles the product and growth of the ''rited States at the minimum tariff rItes lev fed by them.

Wud Times on the New Orleans Cotton
 Exchange.

Exchange.
 New Orleans. Dec. 4.-The day on the Cotton Exchange was easily the wild est in 1t shistory. The Bureau of Sta tistics of the Department of Agricul- ture made it's annual estimate of the cotton crop. issuing figures of 1o.167, ,1SS bales of 500 pounds gross weight. This was extremely bullish, but its effect was partly lost in the indignation felt and expressed by the trade generally. first over the counting of the crop in 500-pound bales gross weight instead of net weight as has always been the case in previous estimates, and. sec ondly, over the delay in issuing the re- port which was scheduled to come out at II o'clock. New Orleans time, but which was not received until 12:35 p. m.
 Immediately on the reading of the figures, March, the most active position, shot up 142 points. slightly more than $7 bale. This was an unprecedented advance.
 Just before the estimate WAS read, March sold at 11.SS. the first sale fol- lowing the estimate was at 13 cents and the next at 1880. The Ting was crowded twenty deep with brokers, who frantically fought to fill their buying orders. The volume of trading was immense.
 The noor or the exchange was crowd ed with several hundred visitors from all parts of the South, and their cheer ing. when they knew what the esti- mate was. added to the roar iron, the ring. The gallery was filled with Ia- dies.
 The delay in issuing the estimate as well as the use of gross bales as measure. hastened profit-takinR by longs and so great was their selling that within few minutes after March had touched 1880 1t was selling at l2.s6. The net change for the day was an advance of 63 to es points on the active positions. March closing at 2.36@12,37
 Much figuring was done after the es- innate was made known, and 1t was shown that If the estimate had been made in the same form as 1t was made last year-that Is, In bales of 800 pounds net weight. the estimate today would had read. 9.65e,427. as a full per cent of the amount estimated today is bagging and ties and S ner cent of the figures returned is eoiIivalent 10 o0S,Ssl bales.

New York. Dec. A--0ne hundred thousand Jews, each wearinE band of crepe on the left arm, marched un- der myraid of black banners through the principal streets of the East Side today accompanied by bands playing dirges in memory of the Jews massa- cred in Russia. Hundreds of women and children grouped in singing bands. were scattered throughout the long pa- rade. X
 Immediately following the police, who headed the procession. came sey- erai hundred boy synagogue singers chanting a dirge. Tn the long process sion which wound through the narrow east side streets behind the boys there were fourteen labor. sociaiistic and Russian revolutionary orGaafzations. One smaii band of men. pssmen and children at whose approach nearly every head among the spectators was bared. were survivors of the Kishi- neff massacres. fs, S
 Mingled everywhere with the hum dreds of black flags which made ai- most canopy over the paraders, was the stars and stripes and the flag of zion--a six pointed blue star on a white field From shop doors and tene. ment house windows which over looked the procession flew thousands of crepe streamers. F.
 One of the most impressive features of the parade was the march across Brooklyn Bridge of 2o.000 Jews Of Brooklyn. As they crossed the great center span of the bridge their black flags could be seen and the sad music heard far up and down the East Riv- CT.
 The procession marched to the plaza In Union Square where 1t resolved it. self into a mass meeting.
 Brief, terse resolutions were read by the leaders to the thousands of parad- CTS. The voting was done orally with a great shout. The resolutions i. were adopted.
 The resolutions. after reciting the atrocities and asking the United States tc interfere in behalf of the Jews said:
 With overwhelmingly shame and sorrow we realize that eternal vigil lance is the price of the Jews life and we urge the people to take up arms against their assailants and if need be. to interfere In behalf of the Jews said: to sell their lives most dearly.
