Washington, Jan. 21.-Consideration of proposed increases of salaries of ; Federal judges was resumed by the Senate today. when the legislative, exs ecutive and judicial appropriation bill was taken up.
 By vote of ss to s1 the salaries of the twenty-nine circuit judges were increased from s7,00o to 5000.
 Senator Bailey declared that States that pay the highest salaries to judges / generally have the poorest decisions :. ''That State." he said, which pays the highest salaries to its Judges gener- ally furnishes reports upon which you can find something on both sides of every question which is raised.'
 Senator Piles insisted that the Judges of the country could earn muclh more than they do and that ss0,o0o could readily be earned by some dis- trict judges.
 Combating the idea that s50.o0o is . salary within the reach of most lawyers. Mir. Bailey declared that 5 Daniel Webster could not have made that much money. He said that much depended in that matter on a lawyers place of residence. s
 Senator Rayner of Maryland. then created rustic in the Senate by com menting on the Presidents proposed hunting trip to Africa
 "Only six weeks ago." he said, "it
  naturalist was about to proceed for q distant continent. in search of ani- malls, which. so far as have been able to discover. have never existed in all time"
 T am not game butcher" con- ,finued Mir. Rayner. ..but I am a sort lof zooloRfst and I know there never sias been such q thing as a white rhi- inoeeros, or an ouFangoutang with a hose three inches long, so far as re- Wearches into natural history extends"
 .sThe Senator should take care about the statements he is making on natnr- al hi. tory" suggested Senator Bacon

 Senator Bacon, a regent of the smith, gonian Institution, explained that that Institution had not devoted dollar re to the proposed trip of the President to Africa. but said that the money to be used had been procured from pri- vate sources.
 Mir. Rayner then made a plea, for ; increased salaries for judges of the Federal courts, the amendment under consideration being to increase the compensation of .eighty-four district judges from $e.000 to ss.000. He de- clared that the Federal judges would be better when their appointment is taken away from the President of the United States and insisted that under the Constitution, Congress had right to take tho appointment of circuit judges and district judges from the President and plaeo it in the hands of the Supreme Court of the United States.
 Mir. Rayner declared that the Pres adent did not so to the leaders of the bar or to bar associations to set sug- gestions for the appointment of
 No" said Mir. Bailey, .'he goes to the corporations as rule for recom- mendations."
 Mir. Tiliman, in a rasping voice, sug- gested that some of the Judges were on the pay rolls of corporations while they draw their salary as Judges.
 MT. Bailey said he was sure MT. Till man would wish to recall that charge.
 T simply have @ suspicion and will not withdraw it," said Mir. Till man.
 Mr. Bailey, disavowing any sympa- thy with the statement, said he had noticed that the corporations fer ,za.N.. tive In the appointment of Federal judges.
 "If they are not on the pay rolls" said Mir. Tillman, they hayA accepted special coaches and gone ab6ut in my State. Ishad good deal of expeTi- ence with them in my State while was Governor.
 Mr. Rayner said he had noticed that dudges who had served corporations often go against those same corpora tions as soon as they get on the bench, and declared that they showed a. devo- tion to their duties which was not biased by a consideration.
 4 long colloquy took place between Mir. Bailey and MT. Rayner, as to whether judges should not hll their places for the honor involved rather than for the salary, except that they should be paid enough to support them selves and families and to educate IlelE cHlluEehs
 MT. Bailey inquired wh ether the Senator from Maryland would not rather have the name ofsJefferson with all his bankruptey rather than that of a Vanderbilt with a swollen patrimony.
 The time was. said MT. Bailey, when Americans looked forward to aducat- ing their sons and then with that edu- cation and a good name. allowed them to go out into the world and achieve success. Now, he said. the Ideas of people had so changed that they looked forward to giving their boys fortune. and "the girls dower which may at- tract a brainlesS crowned head or a nobleman from the other side"
 He said the increase proposed for Ehese judges was only in line with the extravaganza of the times.
 Prefers More Money. T like the honor of my ancestors" said Mir. Rayner. ''but I like them to leave me some money also. l. would | like less honor and more money"
