FFr0utMN ncReFt4 oa S8tton. Complications are arising daily and as fast As they multiply the Repnbll- can manhgers begin to puzzle their Iown men.
 E The House census committee will to- morrow give special consideration to a bill offered by Representative Lever Iof South Carolina to have the census
 bureau make frequent reports on the baied cotton in the hands of planters land others in addition to the state ments now being given out. and apply ling only to mahufacturers. Mir. Fever claims that under present methods most. if not all the benefits Igo to the manufacturers. and he thinks the producers of the staple ought to be equally favored.
 Chairman Crumpacker of the oom- lmittee says he sees no reason why the measure should net be favorably acted Iupon, and the chances of action this
 session are therefore thought to be good.
 The understanding now is that the House Committse on Agriculture. will lin about two weeks commence con lsideration of the bills to prevent lspecuiation in cotton futures Meas ures bearing, upon this subject have been introduced by Representative lHefiin, '(Alabama). Macon. (Arkansas) and Burleson. (Texas.)

DEBATE ON SALARIES.
Republicans Ret Democrats Dc The
 SReMzklM@.

|RePublieans Ret Democrats De The Speaking.
 Washington. D. C.. Jan, 21--(Special) The discussions Tn the Sehate today on the question of increasing salaries of Federal judges was unusually inter esting and was greatly enjoyed by a large attendance in the galleries. One peculiarity about it however and which undoubtedly puzzled most of the visitors was that nearly all the talk ing was 0nsthe Democratic side of the chamber. Not many Republican Sena- tors were In their seats and the few
 detailed to remain on guard seemed contended to let the Democrats exhaust the subject since MT. Rayner of Mary land, who favored paying judges high
 CT salaries had provoked the lively dis-
 cussion.
 The Republicans placed these amend
 ments in the bIll while 1t was in com
 nlittee and they count upon enough votes to retain them and 1t will rest finally with the house, which did not have the necessary news in the first instance. as to whether or not judges and others shall draw more money for their services.
 The fact of the matter is that the
 Republican managers of legislation are growing alarmed over the slow Iprogress being made with appropria' ltIon bills, and their policy from now
 to the end of this short session will
 be to talk as little as possible. for fl itbe discussions prove too animated lEome of the regular supply bills vii fan and will have to be passed dur

Philadelphia, Jan. 21.--The twenty first Council of the Union of American Heb rew congregations came to an end today with the dedication of the Isaac N. Wise window In the Keneseth Israel Temple. A brief meeting of the Council was held this afternoon. after which the Council adjourned to meet in New York in 1a1t. .4-48 .Ge> With the opening Of the final session this afternoon, Rabbi Schulman of New York demanded an apology from Chair. man Kelin for ordering him to leave the Council Chamber yesterday while speaking on the question of sectarian practices in the schools The rabbi in- sisted that the chairman withdraw his order.

 regretted the occurrence, hut that he had given the order because Rabbi Schulman was speaking out of order. and declined to obey the chairs ads
 monition to sit down. .tA The incident was then considered closed by the members of the Council. |. Oscar s. Straus.

 The memorial window to the Hebrew scholar was designed by 6ir Moses Ezekiel. Secretary Straus said: "Isaac M. Wise. rabbi, scholar. teach CT and reformer, came to this coun- try in the middle of the last century.
 He knew, as our Puritan founders knew, that the spirit of freedom first embodied in the Hebrew commonwealth lay at the basis of our republican in- stitutIons. His determined purpose
 was, In the words of pr. Kfaus, one of his most brilliant and distinguished
 dIsciples.' to educate a ministry for American needs--a ministry not any less American because Jewish and not less Jewish because American, to carry
 out this purpose he founded the He-
 brew Union College at Cincinnati, to which he devoted nearly fifteen years of life. Today, from more than hum
 dred Jewish pulpits, American Juda- Ism Is expounded by his disciples. the men who have sat at his feet and re-
 ceived from his lips the wisdom of his teachings.
 Isaac NJ wise's influence upon American Judaism. while living and
 since his death, through his disciples. has been greater than that, of any other one man"

Washington, Jan s1.--"we have not asked and win not ask for clemency and we hope our friends will not urge us to pursue such a course. Loving liberty as freemen do--as we do--it cannot be difficult to appreciate what incarceration In prison would mean to us. To ask pardon would fender use- less all the trial and sscrifee which our men of labor and our friends In all the walks of life have endured that the rights and liberties of our people might be restored. Such . pardon would only leave the whole case in confusion and 1t would have to be fought out again from the be.
 This Is some of the language used by Gompers. Mitchell and Morrison In The American Federationist in formal protest against the action of Justice wright in ssntencing them to prison for contempt Of court in the Bucks Stove and Range case, December 2s last.

 Mir. Gompsrs refers to the "intem- perate and vindictive spirit displayed by thu. Justice and to "this tfrade of Judicial abuse and misrepresentation in separate statement but he jsins
 with Messrs. Mitchell and Morrison in declaring that they, would not "enter
 Into competition wth the honorable court in the use of fnvectives. ranccr or scathing denunciation" and that they should protest against the court s unprecedented and unwarranted flag eliation of the cause and of the people we have the honor to represent" F4n- A a-a- NAA aaAx xlASA AasI4 la understand the responsibility they as- sume in making their statements Ia shown by their declaration that even though they may be held in additional contempt, i've are willing to accept the consequences. It may be necessary
 to the preservation Of the liberties of thespeople that judge should be dis obeyed. Judges sometimes usurp pow CT and become tyrants. Disobedtencs
 to a tyrant is obedience to law" The statement enters Into close lanalysis of the famous injunction case
 and 1t is asserted that MT. Mitchell was moi present VI the labor meetings which directed the circular letters af- tacking the Bucks Stove and Ram Company; that he did not sign or have
 knowledge of its circulation. It is as.
 serted that Mr. Gompers removed the name of the firm from the I've don'i patronize' llst' as soon as the injunc- tion became operative and had no in- tent to defy the order of the court by
