Pork Packing in the West.

CINCINNATI, March 29.-The twenty.
eighth annua! report Of pork packing in
the West by the editor Of the Cincinnati
Price Current, for the winter and year end.
ing March lst, will appear tomorrow
showing the total number OF 5,072, $3.50
hogs packed during the past winter in
the West, an increase OF 192,204 as com.
pared with a year ago. Average net
weight 2l5.0S pounds, decrease Of
1.73 pounds; lard 34O3 pounds
per head, decrease Of LAP; ag.
gregate lard 5S0,4lS tierces of $50
pounds each. The average cost of.hogs
was s. Is per 100 pounds, net decrease
Of 81 Ga. The total OF mess pork was
4S9,7G0 barrels, an increase Of 81, ,445.
Other kinds Of pork las, ,40S barrels. The
increase in all kinds Of pork was l27, ,G57.
The total number Of hogs packed for
twelve months wUs 7,S63,055, an increase
Of l,22l,477.
The basis OF the supply Of hogs for the
summer season this year is regarded
equal TO last year, though the tenor OF
the returns indicate a comparatively
moderate market during the early part OF
the season. 1t is shown, however, that
from the first OF March to date the re.
ceipts at the leading markets exceed last
year. A new feature Of these reports is
an exhibit Of the packing in Canada,
compiled for the first time, aggregating
about 100000 head for the winter, an in.
crease Of G5,OO0 head over last year.
The western packing, with the receipts
at the seaboard cities, and packing in
Canada, show an aggregate increase for
the winter amounting TO S35, 900 hogs.

The Council OF Nine.

SAN FRANcfsco, March 29.-The latest
adyiceS from Chico, show that what Ia
known as the "Council Of Nine" Ia
mainly responsible for the recent out.
RACES. This council Is elected by the Labor
Union, for the trial OF members for Of.
lenses against the order. As vacancies oc.
Cured this council filled them, thus DO
coming Independent OF the order and
commanding the obedience Of the
members. II was found that
the members were congeniRl spirits,
and then came the suggestions for
the commission OF the crimes which
have since come to light, and many more
that were never carried into execution.
All the members Of the council are now
under arrest. Many members OF the La
Dor Union evidently know nothing Of the
crimes Of the Council Of Nine, and be.
lieve the order to bn only to discourage
the employment OF the Chinese by all
lawful means.
The oath administered to the initiatory
members Of the Labor Union Ia:
~, -, do solemnly swear that l will
keep the secrets Of this order. further
swear that will assist any brother in
need or distress, ms far as am able, and
l further swear that | will aid in execut.
ing the laws Of the United States OF
America. So help me God"
There is secondary degree in the
order, to which the oath is the following :
~ swear before God Almighty that
will carry out and obey all orders Of the
Council OF Nine, whatever they may be.
II do not do so my life is forfeited, and
| may be put TO death by the Council Of
Nine"
Not all members are taken in that de-
gree. The oath administered to a mem.
Der Of the Council Of Nine has not
as yet been obtained, but 1t is
understood TO be Of the most strict iron.
clad order. The people Of Chico now
fear that the insurance companies will
cancel the risks in that town. New de-
velopments are continually being made.
Some old officers declare that the Labor
Union was cognizant Of the act of the
Council Of Nine, and that Council was
merely used as cloak for the Order. 1t
is positively asserted that the Order in
Sacramento and San Jose works on the
same principles. The feeling is still very
intense, and the people arc nervous and
excited over the situation.

PHILADELPHIA, March 29.-The gen

Company has issued n circular to loco
motive engineers employed on that road
in which be says it has been deemed un,
advisable to retain in the employ Of the

Brotherhood OF Locomotive Engineers
The engineers will be called on in day
or two to decide il they desire 10 remain
in the employ OF the company, by comply
ing with the regulation, requiring them ia
withdraw from the association referred
to. 1t is not the desire OF the company tC
deprive its employees OF any OF the beneii
cial or life insurance features Of the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers
without offering in their stead greater
benefits Of similar character, and it il
therefore proposed by the company tC
establish and endow life and accident

neers, upon the payment Of a monthly
sum less than previously paid, will re-
ceive greater benefits than those hereto
FIRE derived from the Brotherhood oI

The Nail Men in Council on
WedneStlny--The Prospects Tor
Trade this Spring,

Rrhue lnlS spring.
Pittsburgh Dispatch OF yesteIday.l
During the discussion but little oppo.
sition was manifested toward the pro.
posed reduction. The discussion took
wide range, embracing the state of the
trade and the outlook, many OF those
participating giving their views Of the
business during the past few months. It
appeared from the expressions OF all that
they were disappointed at the state Of
the nail trade since the opening Of spring.
During the few days Of fine weather in
the early part Of the present month the
business Of building opened brlskly, ere.
ating lively demand for nails. But
about the time the mills were set to run.
ming to their full capacity to supply the
demand, the weather changed to touch
Of winter again, thus retardirg all
the work that had been commenced
and delaying the commencement OF
work in contemplation, the effect OF
which was the demand for nails ceased
almost entirely. Those who had antici.
pated steady flow OF large orders, and
had prepared Themselves accordingly,
were sadly disappointed. The expert
ence Of some OF the speakers led them to
state that building operations this spring
were not by any means as extensive as
they have beer in the past, and they had
little reason to hope for great improve
ment the present year. In this city there
are probably more buildings going up at
present than for several years before, but
in other sections the limited demand for
nails indicates an unusual dullness with
builders. 1t was generally conceded that
there was too much capacity for making
nails, and until this was regulated more
In accordance with the demand the nail
Trade must continue dull and unproita.
