Foreigners and Austrians were arrested.

Assairs of the western Union.

New YORK, october s.-A consultation of
Western Union Directors was held this af
ternoon, In the Western Union building.
After its close Russell Sage stated that, at
the annual election to be held Wednesday
next there would be several new names
placed on the Directors tickets, among
them that of Austin Corbin. Mr.. Sage said
that this change does not indicate change
in the policy of the company, nor is itsug
gestive of compromise; but is simply due
to his prominence as railroad man on the
street" 1t is generally believed that the
changes mean that the DreXel Morgan in

The Raisin Market.

SAN FRANCISCO, october 9TH, 1856.
We must confess that the local market is
far from being in a satisfactory condition,
the demand being light and prices barely
firm. We continue our quotations of last
week, though we have heard Ct sales made
here at lower prices, but we believe we are
nearer the correct prices Notwithstanding
toe sales mentioned.
These sales have been made by parties
whose necessities compel them to realize
They invested all they have in a few tons
them they are compelled to market as soon
as packed in order to get money to pay for
the labor used III packing. They are salts
fed with a meagre profit, and the question
of slaughtering prices and causing the pro-
ducers of the state to lose hun
dred thousand dollars matters not TO them
Prices of Malagas in the Eastern markets
are reported somewhat stronger, though we
have not as yet been able to trace the re
port to any authentic source. This uncer-
tainty is very annoying. aud to avoid it and
enable us to be thoroughly posted one of
our partners will go at once to the Eastern
side to remain until the holidays, and
while there will forward US full informa-
ton as to the market, prices and all other
matters of interest to our friends.
We are glad to be able to report better
demand from the Western and Northwest
ern States, we having shipped out some if
unable at the present time to get raisins
from the packers fast enough to fill orders.
We feel, however that the demand has
hardly commenced and buyers are holding
off not only on California raisins, but for
eigu as well.
Sellers with the exception above men
toned are not showing any inclination to
weaken prices and as the trade must have
raisins for Thanksgiving times, we believe
that they are coming with rush little
later on. We therefore believe that it be-
hooveth the raisin maker to have his lamp
trimmed" and when the raisin buyer comes
"here's your goods Mr.. Man, the choicest in
the land put up expressly to please you"
We desire to call the attention of great
many raisin packers in the State who have
promised us the handling OF their pack this
year to the fact that the active season is
upon us, and that 1t is important to them
that we should know positively that we are
to handle their output of raisins. We men
ton this particularly for the Southern
raisin districts, as we anticipate being able
to place q great many raisins dii ect
and have them shipped from the vine
yards We wish TO avoid bringing
raisins to San Francisco and re-
Shipping them from here, il possible, there
by saving the producer the freight to San
Francisco and thence East. Therefore we
desire all packers of raisins who desire us
TO place their pack, to write TO us at once
upon the receipt OF this postal and let us
know that they intend us to take care of
their raisins. We would also add In this
connection that this postal is issued for the
benefit of the packers of raisins, and is sub
subservient to no other interest than theirs.

Am Under Secrctary,s Blunaer.

New YORK, October S.-The SUNS London
cable special says: The true story OF the
pardoning of the Spanish insurgents has
just leaked out. At a meeting of the Cabi-
net on Monday it was resolved that the
death sentence OF the courtmartial should
be confirmed The Under Secretary, to
whom President Sagasta whispered the de-
cison, misunderstood the remarks, and an
nounced to the crowd which had assembled
to await the verdict that they had been par
doned. The newspaper men Immediately
telegraphed ii 10 all parts of the country.
Sefior Sagasta, as soon as he learned OF the
mistake, sent a correction to all the newspa-
pers. The press, however, did not believe
the correction, thinking the Cabinet wished
to keep the pardon secret until after the
conveuing of the Queens Council, and pub
lished the pardon as authentic. The Under
Secretary's blunder has saved the insur-
gents lives.

CHICAGO. october "A great strike OF the
EMPLOYEES of the Chicago packing house
against the proposition to return to ten
hours as a working day, began this morn
ing. A committee of 1900 men, employed
by the Chicago Packing and Provision Com
pany, waited on the foreman of the works
this morning and demanded that the posted
placards notifying them of return to ten
hours as a days work be taken down. The
demand was refused and a regiment OF
workmen at once left the building and
were soon Joined by 500 men employed in
the silver Horn works. Thus reinforced,
the large force went in body to Armour's
packing house to induce the men to stop
work. There is great excitement at the
yards, but no trouble has yet occurred.
The workmen at Armours and the Anglo
American packing houses refused to go out
to-day.
RIoTING CROWD.
This afternoon large body of additional
workmeR went on a strike and a riot oc-
Cured at the works of John Morrell, when
numbers of persons were hurt. The entire
police force OF the town OF Lake has gone
to the scene, and Pinkerton men, armed

it SO unpleasant that Captain Foley formed
his command into four companies and
headed for the Traosit House. The strikers
express the idea that the packers nave
deep laid scheme to fill their houses with
new men willing to work ten hours. 1t is
said that to this end employers have been
collecting meI at outside points for months
The feature of the strike to day was the beef
men coming ont at Armours. This was

tended to confine the fight to the hog inter.
ests. The firm is left with 1890 head of
cattle in their yard to feed. Armours
