The senators denied that they attempted to bribe or influence them in any direction. The beef interests have petitioned tho Finance Committee of the Senate, protesting against the lowering of the duty on meats, declaring that such attempts to kill the Beef Trust is moi'o likely to increase the Trust's control of the meat trade.
The petitioners favoured a 15 per centum i\d valorem duty on all meats and live stocks, in order to prevent tho decav of the industrv.
