SHORT CROP OF HOGS.
Over Million and q Half Fewer POrkers
Slaughtered This Year than Last.

Special 10 the indianapolis Journal
CHICAGO, Dec. 25-There is a duIlness
about Packingtown nowadays that has
not been paralleled for many years. Since
December five thousand men have been
discharged. and the plants of the big pack
ers are hardly working at half their ca.
pscitv. The indications are that, unless
the supply of hogs is speedily increased.
further reductions will be necessary. This
condition of things has been brought about
by n most unusual shortage In the hog crop.
This shortage Is readily shown By the fol.
lowing statistics: From Nov. 1 to Dec. q
Western packing was but 2.2S0, 900, against
3.s2o.0 900 for the same period last year.
showing shortage of 100000
hogs for the West. Chicago. for
the same period this year. packed
10000. against 1.470000 last year,
showing q shortage for. this market of
nearly 100000. Leading packers, while
they assert that this condition of affairs
was foreseen In part. yet admit that the
shortage greatly exceeds the calculations
of the shrewdest among them, and that
some of them were caught on tho wrong
side of the market They admit that there
does not seem TO be any immediate relief
shortage is daily becoming greater and
some OF them 90 so for as TO assert that no
relief can como until the next spring crop
OF hogs lie marketed. The shortage is as
cribed To a variety of causes, CHEZ among
which 10 the floods of last spring, which
killed OFT the young PIGS in many sections.
The low price of corn last spring which en-
abled farmers to fatten and market their
hogs earlier than uGaal, is also considered
an important factor IL the present shortage.

Union,sm No Cause for D,.charpe.

MACON. Ga. Dec. 25. Judge Emory
Speer, of the United States Court. rendered
q decision yesterday In the case of the
striking telegraphers on the Central rail-
road against the receiver. Judge Speer
said that the fact that q man was o
member of labor organization was no
reason for his discharge. On the motion Of
the strikers, asking the Court to reInstate
them In their position Judge Speer decided
in their favor so far as to order the receiver
TO replace all the men except where their
positions had already been filled. In one
sense this is a complete victory for the
organization, iDasmuch as it establishes
the precedent that q laborer cannot be dis
charged for the sole reason that he has
allied himself to labor unions. Judge
Speer stated that there had been very in
considerate action on both sides. Tie case
against Haggard and Hopping for contempt
was postponed until after the holidays.

AS CHILEANS SEE 1T.
The Situation Fully Discussed at
Santiago.
KIND WORDS FOR UNCLE SAM.
In the Chilean Chamber Of Deputies Senior
Jordan Said the United States Was to
be Looked to as the Protector OF South
American Republics.

SANTIAGO, Chile, Jan. 27.-The question
of the relations between Chile ana the
United States of North America came up
in the Chamber of Deputies yesterday.
Deputy Jordan said much alarm existed
In the public mind relative TO the condi-
tion of affairs between the two countries.
He thought that the ministers should
make some definite statement about the
matter. The fact that. in his opinion, the
United States was great uation, honor
able and just in its dealings, was empha-
sized. He felt positive Of her good inten-
tions and urged the Chamber to remem-
ber the position which she assumed when
the French occupied Mexico.
To the United States, continued Senor
Jordan, Chile and all the smaller South
American republics must look for protec-
ton i'm the expounding and enforcement
of the Monroe doctrine. Chile, he felt
sure ought TO meet the demands made
upon her in friendly manner and ac-
knowledge with regret the unfortunate
occurrences of which complaint is made.
The general sentiment of the Chamber
was favorable TO the continents expressed
by Senor Jordan, with the single excep-
ton of Joaquin Walker-Martinzer, who
has been long no as entertaining an active
dislike to Americans
In reply TO Senior ,Jordan's interDola-
ton, Minister Pereira stated that an an.
swer to the ultimatum OF the United
States has been sent To American Minister
Egan which he hoped and believed would
prove satisfactory TO the United states,
but at present he was not at liberty t. di-
vulged its contents.
At the meeting OF the Council Of State
which considered the ultimatum present
ed on the part of the United States by
Minister Egan President Jorge Montt pre-
sided Foreign Minister Perelra present
ed for the consideration OF the council a
note to be sent in reply TO the ultimatum
of the United States which express regret
for the Baltimore incident, and begs TO
submit that question to arbitration either
TO a friendly nation or the United States
Supreme Court, and asks TO retire Malta S
offensive note, but with reservations and
notifications. There was opposition 10
this note on behalf of the conservodores,
but the liberals, under the lead of Eduardo
Matte. formed a majority and Pereira's
note was indorsed.
