TTtie number of hogi raised annually is about 80,000,000, making a total of cured meats, lard and other products of 4,725,000,000 pounds. most careful, thorough and minute inquiry seems to have been mado in the handling of pork from the farm to port of debarkation. This inquiry shows that the utmost care is preserved throughout; that dead hogs are never transport.nl except to offal rendering establishments; that 1 hogs are refused transportation; that human laws and san itary regulations exiso at all stockyards, en orced by local ; s|.ectors, under penalty Washington, Feb. 27.—President Green based lift declination to furnish the contract* called for upon the case of Halle t Kilbum vs. ex-Sergeant-at-Arms Thompson.

Gordon telegraphs that the Senear country is in a troublesome condition, bat the Blue Nile tribes are be coaling quiet, and he hops* to secure gen' , Mai nason in a short Den. Graham telegraphs to Gen. Stephenson that the preparations for his advance have been completed. He has altered the petition of his troops, the right wing now vesting on the lake behind Trinkitat. The Teoih hussars made a reconnoisance to-day toward Teb, and found the e emy in foro1 on tbehei hts and at the entrance to the defile. Gen. Graham has beCm reinforced by eight machine guns, worked by naval guilders. It is expected that a battle will take plaoo on Friday, and that the point of attack will be three miles northeast of Trinkitat. Sir Evelyn Baring, the British minister, under the sanction of tbe Jiome government, has instructed Gei. Graham, bef-re engaging the rebels, to summon Osman Digma to liberate all'the Tokar soldiers and all the survivors of Sinkat desiring to return to Egypt, and if be refuses to liberate them to givehim battle forthwith. Sir Evelyn Baring advie-8 the government that if Gen. Graham defeats Osman Di{ma it should stop the advance of the British troops on the capture of Tsmanieb, O.wnan Digma's headquarters, and not let them attempt to inarch to Berber, as an advance beyond the Red eea littoral would compromise the mission of Gen. Gordon and lead the tribes to believe that it was intended to wage war agaiust ElMahdl. . Mr. Vincent, the financial ndviser to the Khedive, is going to England to urge a soheme of financial reform sanctioned by Sir Evelyn Baring. He proposes tho suspension of the sinking fund provided for under the liquidation law, the reduction of the interest on tbe Suez canal b Dnds held by Ifoglaad to two and a half per cent, the taxation of resident foreigners, and the reduction of the army and civfl administration. The total which it is estimated will be realised by these measures is £1,000,000 .El Mahdi has appealed to the Mo*lem3 of Malta to support Islam. CAIRO, Feb. 27.—The British troops started out frcm Trinkitat to-day and captured from the rebels the fort which Baker Pasha formerly occupied, four miles from the town. Tbe enemy fled before them. Suakim. Feb. 27.—The condition of affairs here is critical. The Turks who are iu command of the Nubians that refused to go to Trinkitat have resigned. The transport Neera, which ran ashore near here and was wrecked, is sinking. There is still some horses, mules, and stores aboard. Admiral Hewett has started for Trihkitat. This fact indicates that the conditiou of Suakim is not so critical as has hoeen imagined. It is supposed that Gen. Graham is awaiting the at rival of the sixty-fifth regiment, 300 strong, which is due from Aden to-day. With regard to Tokar nothing is known except that rebels surround the place. Spies are unable to penetrate t) the town. Tbe Egyptian officers have discarded their uniforms and appear indifferent to the situation of affairs. A number of the convicts here who wore implicated in the massacre at Alexandria, and who were rceutly released by order of Admiral Hewett, are joyfully parading the town, expecting a rebel triumph. Tbe French men-of-war Seigne.ant and Dacbaffant have arrived here. Trinkitat, Feb. 27.—Oue thousand British troopi advanced four miles and occupied Baker Pasha's fortifications. Tbe enemy retired waving their spears. Khartoum, Feb. 27.—The city istranquil- Tbe n.arkec is fu 1 of Arabs daily, who freely bring in their produce o.i foot. The price of vegetables has fallen one-half since Gen. Gordon*! arrival. Washington, Feb. 27.—Yesterday two fiery Virginia congressmen created an uproar in the house. Mayo, who has a solid majority of oue vote behind him and whose seat is threatened by Garrison, rose to a question of privilege and announced that Wise, one of his Virginia colleagues, had charged him with a fraud. Wise sprang to his feet an£ shook his fiat threateningly at Mayo, who went on with increased vehemence, ignoring all the attempts of the chair to drown his voice with the gavel. Tbe chair fiually restored orJer, declaring that Mayo was not discussing a privileged question. There is talk of a personal encounter between the two men. Loudoh, Feb. 97.—The Victoria railway station is a sad wreck. The explosion did more damage than was at first supposed. Even the windows of the depot of the Met-, ropo.it en Railway company, sixty yards distant, were shattered, and fronts of houses In every direction for a radius of llfty yards are badly damaged. The magniflcant dining hall of the Victoria is utterly destroyed. Its roof was completely twisted off. The depot was saved by the promptitude of the police and fire detachments, who put out the flames b' fore they liad obtained very little headwny, although it was feared at one time that the whole north socticn of the grand structure would be destroyed by the element. A large crowd collected immediately after the explosion. The debris, however, was not allowed to bs touched until the arrival of the chief inspector of explosives, who is making a thorough examination of the premis?s. In his opinion the explosion was due, not to gas, but to some powerful comronnd. The clonk room was filled with luggage, bur the C fficia's did not notice any suspicious package. The report is current that the parcel left in the cloak room was intended f»r use against the house of parliament tonight, and that it exploded accidentally. An officer who is acquainted with dynamite was passing about the time of the explosion. He hastened to the spot, and on entering the booking office detected the smell of dynamite. The theory that the explosion was caused by dynamite gains further confirmation from the fact that the greatest damage was doue laterally. The iron railing guarding the stairs near the cloak room was snap])ed asunder and twisted into grotesque shapes. It is believed that ten pounds of dynamite would have been sufficient to cause the damage. The theories that gunpowder or gas caused the explosion have been discarded. Only two persons wero injured, and they slightly. The officials of the railway di* credit the idea that the explosion was the rosuit of private malice, as the cost of the material would deter a discharged servant from thus retaliating. It is generally attributed to the persons who caused the explosion in the Praed street station of the International railway same -months ago. The damage will not amount to more than £4,000.

Chairman Hill said: "We have been Informed, and I think we will prove, that there has been such and that the papers have been drawn." "I think, Mr. Chairman," said Dr. Green, "that that imprisDion has arisen from the fact that pap 're were drawn and signed two years ago, but the return of the elder Mr. Garrett from Europe knocked the proposed consoldation into a cocked hat." lALJtOST INCRBDIHUt T J sine* E.

Although the two bills are almost identical, Mr. Sewell was not satisfied with the house bill, and asUel to have his bill substituted for it. The effect of this action, if the sen-ite agrees trD it, will be to send the measure back to the house for further consideration and to endanger the passage of any bilL Previous to leaving the room Dr. Green informed Chairman Hill that in the event of a determii ation on the jart of the government to purchase the Western Union property, he would guarantee that the members of any tribunal or board of arbitration* ui der the act of 1866. wou'd be given every facility to examine the books and acquaint themselves with thy entire businoes of the company.

Mr. Springer says he does not know what the other papers are, but thinks they are the identical pa; era upon which the publication in a New York journal was based. He is very much provoked about it, and is free to express a suspicion that some official who has access to the committee rooom has been bribed. He will bring the matter before the house.

It is believed not mofo than $15,000,000 will be shipped, which we can easily afford when it is considered that the demand for silver bos been largely increased by the necessities of the English government in connection with the present war in the Soudan.
