KENNEDY'S KICKS,
Which He Freely Administered
Upon Defenseless COnvicts.
Rascally Revelations From the Milwau.
kee House Of Correction.

National Associated Press to the Star.
MILWAUKEE, WIS, Nov. 7.--In the House
of Correction Investigation this morning
Julius Kruger, teamster, testified that he
had seen an officer of the prison kick pris'
oner.
John Risk, convict, who served four
terms in prison, the first in 1875 under
Kennedy, testified that he had to work in
the chair factory during the day and tailor
ing at night and on Sundays. The food
was rotten, and he did not get enough to
eat.
The bread was sour, and not sufficiently
baked saw Kennedy knock prisoner
down stairs, and had seen him strike wo-
man on the back with a cane. The prison
ers were kicked for not keeping step. He
saw Hassc gag men and women. The gag
was kept Oh woman all one afternoon.
Keck had been made to work in the dry
house with the temperature at 210 for two
hours, and was only allowed to come out
for air three times. Katie Cygerske, do
mestic employed in the House of Correc-
ton, had seen Kennedy strike woman
with a cane. She was impertnent and
would not work.
The meat was some times musty and
smelt bad The bread was poor. Once,
owing to the quantity of -four which Ken
nedy had taken away, the rats and mice
ran over the scraps of brea1, which was
afterward used to make soup. The meat
which the dogs pulled around on the fl or
was cooked for the prisoners. Once saw an
officer strike an old man with his fist.

WAR FOR WAGES.
The Chicago Strike Assumes Serious
Phase.
Butchers and Packers Both
Confident of Success.

National Associated Press to the Star.
CHICAGO, Nov. THE strike at Union
Stock-yards, which was supposed to be
ended yesterday, has assumed more ser-
GUS phase.
Packers have yielded to tho demand for
25 cents more per day, but are discharging
the men by wholesale in order to keep
down their expenses to the former amount.
Armour & Co. discharged four hundred yes
terday and one thousand more will be dis
charged in the various packing houses to-
day. 1t is said that seven thousand will be
adrift within ten days.
Packers purchased very few hogs yester-
day, and more than 10000 were left on the
local market last night. Leading packers
are turning their hogs to Milwaukee and
st. Louis, where they have branch estab-
lishments and where labor is cheaper. B,
reducing the force here and doing their
work in other cities the packers claim the
WdScS Will Ut iOiCclt udCh W luc Olu TdGeS.
One packers said: 1T has come to just
this: We will not be controlled by our la
borers. We pay our men better wages than
are given to any other class of workmen.
We pay 81 50 per day to common laborers,
and from So to 81 so to skilled laborers.
This scale OF prices prevails even in dull
times. We will control our own
affairs or cease operations. We
have already decided to run on half time.
The workingmen are still confident. They
say the packers are playing a bluff game,
that it will be ruinous for them to shut
down or run on half time and that in the
end the packers must accede to their de-
mands The Union is stronger in numbers
and more determined in their purpose than
at any time since its organization.

National Associated Press to the Star.
CHICAGO Nov. 7.-Gen. Grant at his
home at Galena yesterday received dele
CATION from Pittsburg, inviting him to visit
the smoky city on his way East He signi-
fled his willingness to do so. He has aban-
doned all hope of attending the unveiling
of the Thomas Monument. He does not
wish to go to Washington and then return
to Western receptions. Mr.. Harris of Du-
buque, an old friend of the General came
in and produced two cigars, carefully
wrapped up He told the General that he
gave him one wien he was General
of the Army, and Harris resolved not to
smoke it till Grant was elected President.
Second, he gave him one when President
the first time, and Harris resolved not to
smoke it till Grant was reelected. Now,
General" said he II want another cigar"
Grant pulled cigar out Of his pocket and
gave it to Harris. but did not say word
The General was asked by reporter if
he had determined what place to make his
future home. He said lie had not. 1t was
an entirely open question. He was then
asked if it was true he was to make an i'm
portant announcement to the people of the
United States. He said he saw the dis
patches that General Sherman had pro-
nounced the story ridiculous. For his own
part it was wholly without foundation.
Mrs. Grant interposed remark that she
didn't see what the General could say more
than he had, having been making speeches
daily.
The correspondent said there was one
subj ct Oh which the people of the country
would be very glad to hear an expression
of opinion from him. But the General sat
down and enveloped himself in The T. ost
profound silence, only broken by OCCASION
al remarks 10 Mr.. Washburne about some
local matters.
After supper the General and family
were entirely alone, except that they re-
ceived call from General w. r. Rawley,
sole survivor of his original staff when he
was a Brigadier. The general conversation
was confined to war "reminiscences and per-
sonal intelligence, the General inquiring
anxously after all his old army compan-
ions, of whom he had not heard for some
time.
