The Ex-Lieutenant Governor Expires in a Chicago Lodging-House. | A CHICAGO dispatch says: Ex-Lieut. Gov. Andrew Shuman is dead. He died in a room at 18 Quincy street, a lodgingnouse kept by B. J. Wheeler and wife. Mr. Wheeler said that a few minutes before the time above named the wellknown editor of the Evening Journal * came 1n and asked for a room. He seemed to be tired, and expressed himself as desirous of retiring immediately. Mr. Wheeler called his wife, who showed Mr. Shuman to a room on the second floor, aud immediately left him. “In about tive minutes afterward we heard Mr. Shuman choking. I rushed into the rcgom and found him lying on the bed on his left side, with his head hanging over the edge. His face was black and he was breathing heavily, I lifted up his head and placed it on the pillow. I shouted to my wife to run for a doclor, which she did. While she was gone the chambermaid and I rubbed his head and hands, but he died in about ten minutes after he was first seized with the fit. Just as he died Dr. Spalding came in.” The death ofso estimable and highly respected a citizen, occurring as it did in a cheap lodging-house, is peculiarly sad. CARPENTERS’ STRIKE OVER.

i 'DRESSED BEEF INQUIRY. ; e e REPORT OF SENATOR VEST'S PROLONGED INVESTIGATION. The Congressional Committee Finds that Four Chicago Houses Control the Beet Markets of the Whole Country-—Sugges-“tions of the Committee as to the Best Remedies. Washington dispatch: The report of the special committee of the Senate appointed in May, 1833, on the transportation and sale of meat products has been presented to the Senate by the chairman, Mr. Vest. It is a long document, accompanied by a copy of the testimony taken by the committee in prosecuting its inquiries at St. Louis, Chicago, and New York. and is signed by all the members of the committee—Messrs. Vest, Coke, Plumb, Manderson, and Farwell. The several legislative measures proposed by the committee to remedy the evils of the traffic are set forth in Mr. Vest's statement in the report of the Senate proceedings. The commitiee says that when the examination of witnesses began in St. Louis it was evident that conflicting influences were at work, especially in the International Cattle Range Association, and that industrious efforts were being made to prevent the inquiries of the committee affecting injuriously the dressed beefl interests of Chicago. There was no diversity of oplnion among the witnesses as to the price and as to the fact that the methods of selling beef cattle had been entirely revolutionized in the last ten years. The revolution took the form of a concentration of the market for cattle at a few points, with the controlling market at Chicago. This change, the committee says, is due principally to the fact that a few enterprising mem at Chicago are able, through their enormous capital, to centralize and control the business at that peint. The dressed-beef and canning business is practically in the hands of four establishments in Chicago—Armour & Co.. Swift & Co., Nelson, Morris & Co., and Hammond & Co. Whatever difference of opinion is expressed as to the existence of a combination between these firms not to bid against each other in the purchase of cattle there was no hesitation on the part of witnesses, even when obviously prejudiced in favor of the packers, in stating that the control of the market was absolutely in the grasp of these four houses if they chose to exercise it. As a result of the influence of these houses the committees noticed a reluctanee on the part of cattle raisers and commission men to testify to facts or opinions which might prejudice them in future transactions. The principal inquiry which the committec was directed to make was as to the existence of a ‘ombination *by reason of which the prices of beef and beef cattle have been g 0 controlled and affected as todiminish the prices paid the producer without lessening the cost of of meat to the consumer.” . The facts developed. some of which are detarlea 1n the report, the committee thinks proveoverwhelmingly a combination sueh as is deseribed in the clause of the resolution quoted above. The committee quotes a statement from Mr. Armour’s testimony that beef cattle had increased more rapidly than population I during the last five years, from which | he argued that the low prices of beef cattle are partly due to overproduction. This argument, the committee states, is not warranted by the facts, and the committee has no hesitation in stating that a combination exists at Chicago which | controls the market and fixes the price

of beef cattle in its own interest. The railroad trunk line, says the committee, controls the entire meat traftic of the country in the interests of the railroad companies. Comparing the railroad charges on a ear of wheat and a car of dressed beef, the committee shows a diserimination in favor of dressed beef of about 60 per cent. As to the remedies to relieve the situation the committee says that Congress, in the bill recently passed by the Senate on the subject of trusts, has gone so far as its power extends. State legislation must suppiement that by Congress to punish combines operating within the State lines, and active, intelligent ofticials must be found to enfore the laws enacted. “If the Federal and State authority shall tirus act in concert and the other legislation as to unjust diserimination by railroads in transporting cattle. the removal of quarantine restrictions as to American cattle shipped to .Great Britain, and the breaking up of the monopoly in the steamship carrying trade of cattle to foreign ports be enacted, we have great confldence in obtaining relief from existing evils.” In conclusion the committee says: “If the cattle-raisers of the United States are only true to themselves, the immediate future promises deliverance from present evils. There 18 no excuse for panic. The worst feature of the cattle. trade is the fact that so many cows and calves are being thrown upon <he market; the indication being that producers are panic-stricken, and anxious to realize now without regard to the future. 'There were marketed at Chicago during the last year 3,023.281 cattle, of which from 25 to 20 per cent were cows, and 4 per cent were calves, “The cattle-raisers of the United States should be and are the most competent judges as to their own interests, but if they will accept a suggestion from those whose duty it has been for months to examine the cattle question in all its aspects, they will cease marketing their breeding and immature stock and preprepare for a larger supply and a brighter future. Itis only a question of time, and very brief time, when the vroblem will be that of supplying our own people with beef without regard to foreign markets.” Gladstone to the Toilers.
