WILL REPORT TO THE SENATE.
Philip Armour and Other Chicago
Packers Refuse to Appear and Testify.

After the report Of The STAR closed Of the
sensational investigation into the dressed beef
and transportation industries in Chicago yes
terday Chairman Vest, in discussing the abb
sence Of Mr.. Armour and other gentlemen, said
there was no doubt about the power of the
comm ission to compel the attendance of per-
sons summoned before ii as witnesses and read
several statutory clauses providing for the
punishment by fine and Imprisonment Of par
ties wilfully failing to appear before commit
tees Of either house of Congress- He said that
although they could compel attendance they
could not compel witnesses to testify to all they
knew. All they could do was to report to the
Senate to have the matter placed with the
United States attorney for the District OF Co
iumbia and brought by him before the federal
grand jury.
The following was unanimously passed, after
which the committee adjourned: Whereas
Philip Armour, Nelson Morris, Louis +. Swift,
Frank Z. Nogel j. s. Newman and Jacob
Meyer, having been duly and lawfully sum-
moned TO appear witnesses before this COM
mittee, have repeatedly refused to obey the
same. ii Is ordered that the facts be reported
70 the chairman of the Senate OF the United
States at its next session, in pursuance of chap
ter of the Revised Statutes of the United
States
After this action a reporter called upon Mr.
Armour, who said: The reason we did not ap-
pear before the senatorial committee was that
We knew we could not expect fair treatment
from the hands of Mr.. Vest, who is VIGOROUSLY
on record as opposed to the dressed-beef bust
ness He is the champion and advocate of the
81. Louis cattle markets and opposed to Chicago
interests. He has been friendly to all hostile
beef inspection bills that have been introduced
IN the various state legislatures against Chicago
dressed beef. which. if passed, would have de-
stroyed this business. We are perfectly will
ing to appear before an impartial committee
and give any information pertaining to our
business which is not of strictly private
nature. We have never exerted any influence
to depress the price of cattle or increase the
price Of dressed beef; on the other hand, it is q
wen-known fact that cattle are 81 per hundred
higher than they would be if it was not for the
dressed-beef industry. and We can get a great
deal more ont of the bullock than the butcher
or man who kills in small quantities"
The committee of Senators adjourned to
meet FRIDAY at Des Moines

FAMILY HELPFULNESS.
How the Wives of Foreigners Help Their
Husbands In Business.

New York Correspondence Boston Transcript
Speaking OF women, do my mark citing in q
part Of the city where women are an important
feature in commercial life. They are all for
eigners, mostly French, though there are some
Italians among them. What interests me Is the
way they take hold of the business and help
their husbands. American women Of the same
class would be at home devising means for
spending their husbands earnings. At the
Italian grocery, where I do most of my buying,
not only the wife but the Oldest daughter helps
along the cause. The daughter keeps the books
and the mother waits ON customers, keeps the
clerks In order and superintends generally. The
husband does the buying and attends to the out
side interests of the concern. He has to be away
large part Of the time, and who could 30
well see that everything was running properly
at the store as his wife? Nor does she neglect
her household duties in the meantime. She
has a large family of small children and they
are well brought up, too. Though they spend
their tender years on the sidewalk in front of
the store they are never allowed to go upon the
street alone after they reach their teens. By
this concentration of family interests they have
built up big business and have one OF the
best stores of its kind in New York. And yet l
am told that when they first came to America
the husband had corner fruit stand while his
wife turned the crank Of a peanut rooster with
one hand while she rolled the baby carriage
with the other. Now it takes several wagons to
deliver their orders every morning, each wagon
having the arms of the Italian family Of the
same name emblaZoned on its Sides
In popular French restaurant on Wooster
street, where of a winter evening you will see
dozen men in dress suits dining, the wife of the
proprietor and the proprietor himself do all the
waiting. Nine. Henri not only carries in tho
smoking dishes Of good things but she can
draw a cork with the ease of head waiter,
placing the bottle firmly between her knees,
and. with scientific pull, out it comes with a
pop that speaks we'll for the life Of the liquid
within. Across the street another French wo-
man not only kept the restaurant but she did
the cooking and waited on the table as well,
until susceptible young artist came along and
induced her to marry him.
On South 9th avenue there is a successful
French butcher whose wife not only makes out
the bills but who yields the cleaver with dex-
terity that is usually supposed to come only
with masculine muscle. Her husband was not
a butcher when she married him, but when he
decided for that kind Of business she went to
work and took practical lessons in cutting up
such animals as are used for food, and now I
really think that she has more skill with the
knife than he. You see this sort of family
helpfulness all over Europe, and am a firm
believer in it and only regret that it is not more
common in our country.

Minister West and Four Royal Maids.

Minister West and Four Royal Maids.
From London Letter
When Lord SackvilIe (Sir Lionel SackvilIe-
Wes.) determined to contest the will of the late
Lord Sackville. which left considerable prop
erty to four maids of honor, it was thought that
the queen would use her influence toward a
compromise. This is no longer expected, and
the attorney general is getting ready to begin
the battle for our late minister from England
and Sir Henry James will represent the four
maids of honor. Pending the decision of the
court Of probate Lord Sackvills has refrained
from taking up his abode at Knole Park. for a
large portion OF the furniture goes by the will
to his antagonists.

Conference of New York Greenb.

Conference of New York Greenbackers.
conference OF greenbackers was held in
New York last night and delegates we're elected
to attend tn, national convention of the party
to be held at Cincinnati on the 18th instant.
The delegates at large are George o. Jones of
New York and J. Madison Hall of Chenango
county, while delegates from twenty-three con-
gressional districts were chosen. Resolutions
were adopted requesting the delegates to the
convention to use their influence to have the
platform adopted there confined as nearly as
possible to doing away with the dangerous sec
tionai distrust and hatred which still existed
between the great majority of the people of
the north and south. The delegates were also
requested to have the money question in its
broad and true light presented in the plat
form.
