The Chieazn Btock-Yards are owned inostly in Boston, and these Eveners do not own n shara in them. Tho establishiment of thése yards has made Chicawn tho great market ot the Northwest for cattle. All buyers go there and compets for the purchase of stock, aml the shippers lmva the bonellt of wmwi.lunn in bugine, The 8t. Lonis Stock-Yards cost $1,500,i00. ‘They never have sarned one cent.

In coneluston, Mz, Depew sald that no pro- «ducer or shipper of cattle Is interested n any of the legislation urged upon the Agricultural Comniltee. Mt BLANCIARD, Vice-Prestdent of th Krla Raliroad, then spoka upon the same goneral question, He indoraed a)l Mr. Depew had sald, Aa to tho story of the Eveners, he sald that the charga that ‘$15 per car was paid was the only thing that was true, He said that, of ths amount of cattle roceived in New York Clty last vear by the Erie Road, only 17 per cent belonged to the Eveners, No- body will take the placs of tho nine Fvencrs who have left that combination. Mr. Blanchard was quits severe upon Mr, Rusling, and clalmod that he was an interestad party. He charged that e waa tho agent of MeHeiry in tha sult against the Erlc Road. Blanchard denled that there was any Ring on tho Erlo Road, aud as- acrted that all persons could send fréight ovor that road at vus price, MR, ROSLING concluded the arzument, 1lin statemont has already been substantially printed. He Inaisted that tho ratlroad Eveners bad admitted tho charga of the sxlstence of the Evencrsbip, Ho Insisted that thero waa aiso soma sort of a com- Dinatlon’relative to the carrylng of slaughtered wcat East, and that specinl® high rutes werg charged for refrigerator-cars, in the Interest of the Eveners, in order that they might havea Uetter market for their live-stock fn tho East, Tha trio reason for tho hixh rates on there- frigerator-cars, he said, was_becauiae it was an ailvantags to the Evencrs and to the rafiroads. Ifthe rales on tho rofrigcrator-cars were ro- ‘fi:n'cd, small producera could sell” slaughtered ef, fn conclusion, Mr. Rusling submnitted the proposition that, in order to ascertaln the facts charzed by him as fo the exiatenco of the Evenera’ Ring, and ot the other allezed abuscs, 1t the Cominitiee wonld obtaln from the House the necessary puwer, Rusling would pay all the expenses incurred io tho Investigation, in the event that the facts should not prove to be as hie had charged, MR, BLANCHARD, of tho Erle Road, replicd_that the reason why high rates wery charged for refrigerator-cars was becase thev were n Fnlem. nlunu{lolv: o Irlizh royalty had to bo paid for the usc of thems they wero very beavy; the rallroad hud to fur. nish fee; they were very expensive to carry; and they dld not realize on the roads niore than tlirce-quarters of a cent per mile..
