CmcAOO , Sept , 4. [ Special Telegram to
THR BEB.I The United States senatorial
investigation into dressed beet transporta
tion arrived nt n position this morning when
it becnmo necessary to resort to vigorous
measures or acknowledge tbo whole affair
to bo a stupendous farce.
G. F. Swift , tbo millionaire dressed boot
dealer , bad been subnccnaod for the third
time , and It was reported that ho had agreed
to appear before the commission this morn
ing. He did not como. The messenger who
norvnd thu fturntnons was called.
"What did Mr. Swift say I" asked Senator
Fnrwcll.
"Ho said ho would bo hero without fall. "
"You nrc sure you saw him In , person 1"
asked Senator Vest , who was evidently
laboring under suppressed indignation.
The messenger acuratcly described the de
linquent packer ,
"You saw Mr. Armour again I"
"I did. "
"And what did ho suyt"
"Ho told mo It would bo extremely Incon
venient for him to bo hero nt this hour , but
ho would send word us to when ho would
como. "
"And ho sent no word ! "
"No. "
It began to look serious and tbo three sen
ators leaned over thu table In whispered con
sultation. Just then Secretary Gcorgo T.
WllllnniH , of the Union Stock Yards and
Transit company , entered the room. He was
ordered the other day to again appear be
fore the commission with certain stntisticsof
shipments nnd a list of the stockholders in
his company. At the request of Senator
Vest , Mr. Williams took u seat in the wit
ness chair.
"You huvo that listl" asked Senator Far-
well.
well.Mr. . Williams looked like n small school
boy who hail been asked a hard question.
Ho twisted his hut in his hands and mur
mured , "No , sir. "
"What is that , slrt"
"I have not the list. "
"Why not , sirl" demanded Senator Vest ,
with Hashing eyes.
"I thought best to see counsel about the
matter , and I huvo been advised not to fur
nish the list. "
"Then you decline , ns secretary of the
company , to produce a list of too stock
holders I"
"I do. "
| 4A "That is all , sir. "
Mr. Williams was only too glad to getaway
away , and again the senators consulted to
gether.
President John B. Sherman , of the stock
yards company , was the next witness. Mr.
Sherman said ho hud boob president of the
company for the last five years and w.is
pretty well ucquuiated with the methods of
doing business.
"Who are the principal purchasers of cnt-
tlol"
"The' packers and the shippers.1'
"Who do you mean by the shlppersl"
"Men like Eastman & Munroe , who buy
for eastern parties , and dressed beef deal
ers , like Armour , Morris , Swift , and the
Llbbys. "
"Do you know who the stockholders are ? "
"No ; that is the secretary's business. "
"What do you charge shippers for hay 1"
"Wo charge § 1 for prairie and S1.50 for
tame hay. Wo ulso get 25 cents for yard
age. "
"Can n shipper buy hay outsldoj"
"No , sir , that Is the only xvay wo have to
gain a revenue. " Mr. Sherman said that
thcro had been 20,030 hoacTof cattle in the
yards at ono tune. The charge for yardage
included considerable service , as the stock
ytmls company furnished the tracks con
necting with the various railroads. It saw
to the unloading of the curs i.iul welched the
cattle. Cei tlllcatcs of weight were issued ,
which were used as headquarters' rccoips (
on change. Banks ndvunco money on
them , sn there was no delay. All this was
included in the yardage charge. The com
pany also watered the cattle and fed them
buy ( turchascd by the shippers.
Senator Vest "Your secretary said there
F. was 1,500.000 In the stock of the company.
. Is thii truol"
"I think that Is the amount. "
"Now what Is the market price of the
Dtockl"
"Oh , it varies. Sometimes It Is nt par. I
br.vo known it to bo us low ns 00 , or us high
os 115. "
"It Is not quoted on the stock exchange ! "
"I think not. "
"And there is llttlo soldi"
"Very little , I believe.
Senator Coke nskiui the witness if tlioro
wore any relations between the stock yards
at Omaha and Kansas City , and these at Chi
cago. Mr , Sherman said there wore none
whatever. Then ho was excused , and after
vainly waiting for some time for word from
Air. Armour , the commission took a recess
until 3 o'clock. >
Two o'clock came , butthohour did not her
ald the appearance of Mr. Armour. His ac
tion was a direct rebuff to the committee und
. the members full It keenly.
Chairman Vest , In discussing the nbsonco
of Mr. Armour und other gentlemen , said he
was sorry that it number of persons , includ
ing the hoiids of several of the prominent
dressed beef firms , had refused to attend the
sessions of the committee , und had p.ild no
attention to its subpuinas. Mr. Vest said
there was no doubt about the power of thu
commission to compel the attendance of per
sons summoned before it as witnesses , and
read several statutory clauses providing pun
ishment by fine and imprisonment.of parties
willfully falling to appear before the commit
tees of either house of congress , Mr. Vest ,
continuing , suld that although they could
compel attendance , they could not compel
unwilling witnesses to testify to ull they
knew , and ho feared If they hud thcso par
ties brought In before them now they would
find themselves In thu same predicament
they were In at the start. All they could do ,
therefore , WUH to report thu facts to the
sonata with u viuw to iiavine the matter
placed In the bandit of the district attorney
of Columbia and bu brought by him before
the federal imuul Jury. " 1 huvo buro a Uile-
grain , " cotitlnucd Senator Vest , "about
whlelul hud desired to personally usk Mr.
Armour , had ho , appeared here. I Intended ,
in JuStlco , to do so before making it public ,
but Inasmuch us hi1ms refused to appear
here I will now make him publicly aware of
its contents. It was sent to me by a gcntlu-

Whoroui , Phillip Armour , Nelson Morris ,
, Lewis Swift , Frank E. Vogel , J. S. Newman -

' aud lawfully summoned to appear us wit

rufuftttd to obey the same , it U ordered that
the facts be ru | > orted to the chairman of thu
senate of the United States at Its next ses

statutes of thu United States ,
The committee adjourned to moot In Dos
Mnliifs on Friday morning. .
A ivporter for the Ati&oolutod Pro s called
on Mr , Armour and asked for an interview ,
Mr. Armour made the following statement :
"The reason wo did not utipeur before thu
scnU > ri l cornumtca WM thut wo ku w wo
could not expect fair treatment from the
Imtids of Senator Vest , who In notoriously on
record ns opposed to the dressed beef busi
ness. He is the champion and advocate of
the St. Louis deserted cattle mnrxct , nnd is
opposed to Chicago Interests. Ha has been
friendly to the hostile oaof inspection bills
thut have been Introduced In
various state legislatures against
Chicago dressed beef , which If passed
would tmvo destroyed this business. Wo nro
perfectly willing to appear before an Impar
tial committee nnd give any information por-
tnlnlngtoour business which is not ot n
strictly private nature. Wo hnvo never ex
erted uny Influence to depress the price of
cattle or Increase the pried of dressed beef.
On the other baud. It Is a well known fact
that cattle are (1 per 100 higher than
they would bo if U was not for the dressed
bsef Industry , as we can got n great , deal
more out of n bullocit than the butr-her or
man who kills In small quantities. Wo have
never had any association with sjwlft , Hammond
mend or Morris , directly or Indirectly , In
the purchase of cattlo. The telegram Mr.
Vest read this afternoon for the sake of get
ting It on record was directed to our ugont ,
whom wohna n perfect right to toll that ho
should not kill cuttle If ho sold our dressed
beef , and It is entirely stripped ot Its force
when thu fact Is understood that the man
WPS our representative. "
Senator Vest was shown Mr. Armour's
statement tonlchHo said : "Mr. Arm'our
must know that , us chairman of this commit
tee , I have no moro power than any other
member , Then again , If I hnvo any sympa
thy nt all with the Missouri cattle trade , It
would not bo with that ot St. Louis. I
have bean a resident of Kansas City
for seven years , and I believe It Is conceded
that the cattle trade of that city Is in sympa
thy with that of Chicago. As to Mr. Ar
mour's telegram , , it was directed to his
agent , but It compelled Suhwab , who was
not his agent , to quit killing cuttle. "

Business I'lcKlnc Up ami the Out
look Much Brighter.
BOSTON , Mass. , Sopt. 4. [ Spaciul Tele
gram to THE BKK.J The American Wool
Reporter's review of the market speaks
most encouragingly of the outlook. The
end of the long lane to stagnation seems to
be reached. Manufacturers , despairing of
bearing down prices from the < present high
figure , nro beginning to buy to fill the orders
thut have been accumulating oa their hands
for the past two months. The
largest business doing at the present
Is in territory wool , especially in the Mon
tana clipping , the excellent condition of this
grade last year making It extremely popular ,
although , like all this year's wool , it is not
up to the standard of lust. Reports from all
the seaboard cities report a similar improved
condition ot thu market , and the prediction
Is that with the pressure of hlirh prices nnd
a compulsory demand , nothing but
unforeseen financial disaster will prevent amore
moro settled condition of trade In futuro.
Sales are consequently larger , with
the following quotation ! ) : No I Montana ,

dcman'd 'for Ohio has been slightly inter
fered with by odd lots of Australian of good

rOSTAIj TELUGU.VIMI SERVICE ,
Dr. Grrnti ThlnKH It Will Uo u
Failure.
Nuw YOIIIC , Sept. 4. Postmaster General
Wnnaraaker recently summoned to Washing
ton various oflld.ils of the telegraph compa
nies in order to lay before them some details
and make propositions for a new postal tola
graph service 'which ' ho has had under con
sideration for sumo tlmo. Dr. Green , presi
dent of the Western Union , was ono of these
officials and has just returned from the con
ference. He gave this afternoon to n reporter
some details of the proposed scheme. Dr.
Green did not look upon the project In a
very favorable light. It would be n dls-
tlnctlv second plass delivery service. There
would not bo immediate delivery by the post-
offices , but at stated times of delivery , as in
the case of letters now. Business und com-
morclul men , ho believed , would not avail
themselves of such service when they can
have first class service messages being de
livered by the company the very moment
received.
It is , however , the extension of the tele
graph service chat forms the chief feature of
Wanamaker's scheme. Thcro nro at present
R'J.OOO postoQlccs in the country. About
nineteen thousand have telegraph service.
Dr. Green said of the 19,000 receiving ollleos
which the company now has about two-
thirds were prolltless. Dr. Green was very
much Inclined to doubt the financial success
of extending the lines to 40.00J llttlo places
In order to make the blessings of the tele
graph sorvlco well nigh universal for tbo
pooplo. _

When Doca Abbott's Term Expire ?
CHICAGO , Sopt. 4. [ Special Telegram
to TUB BRK.J The Western States Passen
ger association docs not know whether It
has a chairman or not. According to. some
of the roads , Chairman Abbott's term of
ofllco expired nt the bsglnntng 'of this morn-
Ing's session , nnd according to others it does
not oxplro until January I , At any rate ,
during to-day's meeting Mr. Abbott was not
In attondnr.ee , and the whole day was spent
In balloting for u now chairman. Chairman *
Abbott had eight faithful friends , who stuck
to him all day , and Mr. Nowaiau , formerly
of the Union Pacific , and Trafilo Manager
Wntta were also strong favorites. Attor
u dozen or moro ballots it ' ba-
catno manifest that It would bo
impossible to elect a permanent chairman ,
nnd it was decided to try and elect a tem
porary chairman. After repeated ballots
this almost resulted in the election ot Mr.
Newman. Ho was , in fact , declared elected ,
when General Manager SU John , of the Rock
Island , put In n decIdoJ negative , Ho said
that the Rock Island could not nocognizo Mr.
Nowmun as chairman , or , in fact , any ono
other than Mr. Abbott , whoso term ot ofllco
extended to January 1. This position was
actively combated by several members. Quo
of them claimed Mr. Aobott was elected
chairman for but oun year , nnd
slnco that tlmo H ho had simply
boon acting chairman. It was further
claimed that by a resolution Mr. Abbott's
term of ofllco as acting chairman bad been
detlnltuly extended until this meeting. The
very fact of the meeting being held termi
nated his term of olllco and ho could not con
tinue serving oven as temporary chairman
nnlcss duly elected.
The nbove is the position In which matters
now are and not one of a half dozen mem
bers seen on tbo subject believed there could
be an umlcablo settlement of the subject. A
committee had been appointed to wait on Mr. '
Newman and notify him of his election , but
owing to the objection of the Rock Island
the committee did not perform its mission.
There is a chance for u good sized raw nnd
possibly a lawsuit before the question is set
tled.
tled.Thero
There is a radical disagreement ns to the
tenure of ofllco of Mr. Abbott , nnd it is
probable that some of thn roads will refuse
longer to recognize his rulings. There was
considerable talk of a split m the association ,
but the coolnr heads will try to keep it to
gether. One member confidently assorted
after the mooting that it would end in Sec
retary Thomson , of the association , taking
charge of the ofllco , and the association
electing u presiding ofllcor at the meetings
until n chairman could bo agreed upcn.
Chairman Abbott's position is nn em
barrassing ono. According to some of the
roads ho cannot resign and according to
others ho owes > t to the association to hold
on until January 1. Ho Is taking no part in
the squabble and said to-day he had
not and wonld not nsk a solitary road to vote
for him. He received an unanimous call'
from the association nearly three years ago
and resigned his position of general passen
ger agent of the Erie to accept. The posi
tion is an extremely Important one , its Juris
diction extending over practically all tbo
western lines except those in the Trans
continental association. The salary is $10,000
a year.
The Illinois Ccnrr.al f rouble.
CHICAGO , Sopt. 4. [ SpocIalTolegram to Tun
BEE.I Acting President Harriman , of the
Illinois Contra ) , refuses to make
any statement relative to the resig
nation of General Manager JofTery ,
other than that contained In his ac
ceptance of the resignation. Ho to-day
issued a notice appointing General Superin
tendent Book acting manager of the Illinois
Central , Superintendent Sullivan acting
general superintendent and Wisconsin Su
perintendent Russell to have charge of tbo
line in Illinois and Wisconsin.
The feeling nmonir the Chicago railroad
men against Acting President Harriman is
strong. Thcro is u sentiment in some quar
ters that Mr. Jeffery should either have ig
nored Mr. Harriman's ' temporary authority
or yielded to it until President Fishcould bo
notified. All agree , however , that the end
would have been the samo. Mr. Hurrlman
was dotcrniirie.il on Mr. Joni > r.v's resignation ,
and would have compassed It in some way.

CHICAGO , Sept. 4 , The work of securing a

A Deserter AVill Pilot the White * .
Nnw OKMUNS , Sept , -J. A Greenwood ,
Miss. , special says : The mostdastardly out
rage since the beginning of the trou
ble in the upper part of the county
was perpetrated by George Allen nnd bis
squad of fifteen negroes last night , In
tbo burning of Mr. Jamison's store
at Shady Grove , on the Tall'a-
hatchlo rlvor. They woat there
nnd asked for powder and shot. Jamison
refused to lot them have any and they told
him they would either burn his house or kill
him. They caught him , sot tire to his bouse ,
firing of ! tholr guns in tbo meantime and
making other hostile demonstrations. Jami
son got nway and wont to Sunny Sldo in
forming the pcoplo what had happened.
About too sumo tlmo n negro deserter from
Allen's band oTored ( to pilot the whites to
Allen's camp at Lone Star bend if they
would spare him nnd his two brothers who
were among Allen's men.
About two nundrod men nt once started
for the hostile camp , which is about
six miles nbovo Sunny Sldo , but it
has not been learned whether they
succeeded In capturing Allen. It is not
likely ho will bo tukon allvo as ho is u very
dospcrato negro.
It now transpires that the negro whom he
killed last night for refusing to tnkn up arms
against the Whites was his own brother.
Vcstorday evening the sheriff's posse got
sight of two negroes who hod eono to Cleve
land for ammunition. Too negroes jumped
from their mules and fled into the cornhraico.
The posse captured the mules nnd 3,000
Winchester rifle cartridges , ton pounds of
buckshot and four pounds of oowdcr.
Further particulars from up the river con
firm the statement that tno four negro lead
ers who were killed up there yesterday wcro
killed by the shurifTs posse while icslsting
arrest.
The number of hostile negroes aru now
estimated at from 100 to ICO and they are
in largo squads one of which Is led by Gcorgo
Allen and tbo other by u negro named
Backitt.
The object of the sheriff is to capture the
leaders and deal with them according to
law. Tholr followers arc merely ignorant
negroes who hardly understand what they
are about.
BATTLING WITH STARVATION.
Terrible Condition of the Locked Out
Spring Valley Minors.
CHICAGO" , Sopt. 4. Mr. Henry D. Lloyd ,
formerly on the editorial stuff of a Chicago
morning paper , has been Investigating the
condition of the destitute miners at Spring
Valley for several days and makes an appeal
through the press m tholr behalf.
Ho says there Is greater need than over for
help for these pcoplo.
There are thousands there suffering for
.food , clothing and medicine.
Most of the sufferers nro children nnd
most of the children are Itttlo ones.
Tboro are families whora adults and chil
dren are grievously sick and without medical
attendance and medicines because there Is no
money to pay for thorn.
The men at Spring Valley , Mr. Lloyd says ,
are not strikers. They are victims of two
lockouts. .
Last Christmas a thousand of them wcro
shut out of work by the order closing a part
of the mine. For the rest of the winter the
other minors divided their work with these
unfortunates. This lasted until April , Then
the community , exhausted by this strain of
bunporting tbreo men and their families on
the earnings of two men , received its final
bloxv.
On April 24 , without previous notice , all
the miners wcro told to take away their
tools , and the mines wore closed. They hud
no thought or plan of striking.
They \voro not oven glvon a chance of
working for lower wages.
From the day they received this notice
until Mr. W. L. Scott , of' Erie , Pa. , mate
his recent offer to them of a reduction of
wages from 30 cents a ton to the equivalent
of 55 cents or less , coupled with the demand
that they give up their labor unions , tbcso
men huvo been waiting in involuntary idlo-
nesslto learn what was to bo tholr fate.
"Before the lockout they earned , according
to the flirures they gave me. " says Mr. Lloyd ,
about $30 o , month. According to iho figures
glvon by nn ofllccr of the company they
earned about $43. If thcso wcro their earn
ings ut 00 cents a ton , what would they bo at
65 cents ! "
" 'I his community of 5,000 persons , in the
state of Illinois , is In tbo throes of starva
tion , " adds the appeal , "and has been so * for
months. It Is n public scandal and a catas
trophe which would scorn to demand us
prompt and thorough action from the gov
ernment and the people as the Johnstown
disaster , and I trust the press and the pub
lic will use all tholr influence to request the
governor to recognize the emergency by all
the action within his power.
"Thero must bo funds at his disposal for
such an emergency.
"A personal inspection of this battle of
0,000 persons with death , would , I am con
vinced , spur the governor to Instant action.
"Whatever are the merits of the dispute as
to wages , the starving must bo fed and the
children saved. "

was hold to the criminal court to-dny for
oinbczzlintr money from the company , Jacobson -
son first made his appearance hero n year
ngo , nnd was , on the strength of good tecom-
tnondatlons , given a minor clerkship In the
ofllco of the company. Ho soon won the
confldcnco of the managers by his ability
and was advanced rapidly to the po
sition of western superintendent. General
Manager Alexander says they had no-
suspicion of Irregularity until n couple of
months ago , when ho was found betting
largely at the rnco track. The general man
ager lomonstratod with him and ho prom
ised to reform , but n week ngo It was dis
covered ho was behind mjaln nnd was dis
charged. Ho went over nt once to another
uonipilny nnd they advanced him money.
"Tho assurance of Jacobson , " said Mr. Al
exander , "is shown by the fact that ho went
to Jollct nnd on the strength of
forged letters got prominent clttrons
to go on his bond. Jacobson Is un
derstood to belong to n noble family
In Austria. It has been learned that before
ho caiuo to Chicago ho served three terms In
the penitentiary for forgery. Ho has been
very successful in this city in securing
money under fnl o pretenses nnd thcro Is no
means of knowing how much ho has obtained
aside from the $1,000 or so of thu Fidelity's
money.
When arrested last night Jacobson was ,
about to take the train for the cast. His
lawyers this evening sued out n writ of ha
beas corpus.
