THE MINERS SCALE.
As Submitted by Secretary FIannery-
" hat it PrOvides-WillI It be signed:

Special Dispatch TO tie SDutdoy Register.
PIrTsBURGH January 27.-Secretary Elan.
merry, of the Miners Association, has ad-
dressed letters to all the coal operators Of
this and surrounding districts informing
them Of the sliding scale adopted at the
last general convention of the miners held
in this city Tuesday OF this week. The
operators are given until Monday next to
answer, and are asked, If the scale does not
meet with their approval, to originate and
submit some better plan Of regulating the
differences that constantly arise between
the miners and their employers, so that
strikes may be prevented in the future
The scale submitted provides that when
coal is selling at the Union coal yards, this
city, at S. per hundred that the price paid
to miners for mining shall be $3.50 per
hundred
The Scale or Wages
then rises with the selling price in regu.
lar ratio which may be indicated by the
following figures: When the selling price
is So per 100 wages shall he $40, when the
former is s. tie latter shall be 81, when S.
it shall be SiGO, and when 50 il shall be
$50.
This scale does not give general satisfac-
ton to the operators, and it is not probable
that it will be accepted. Mr.. McCrickart,
chairman of the Pittsburgh Coal Exchange,
lays the ratio of the scale is all right, but
that it begins at toe high a figure. For ex-
ample, when the selling price is s. per 100
the miners demand $50 in wages. Add to
lhis 81 % per 100 for outside.expenses at the
pit, 81 for freight, so cents for royalty and
80 cents for cars. the total cost to the opera
tor would be S605 per 100,
InHieting a Loss
of $l.O5 upon him. It's true the operators
have the coal aud nut coal in addition to
this. but they claim they could not make
expenses at such rates. Mr.. McCrackett
says further that the scale proposed by the
miners some two years since upon basis
Of S2.40 for wages when the selling price
was at s. would be acceptable to the oper-
stors. After all the answers have been re-
Ceived another convention will be called to
determine the future curse of the Associ-
alton. Ii the operators refuse to sign the
scale it is probable long strike in all the
mines will follow.

THE SOLAR ECLIPSE
As Observed from the Caroline Islands
by a Party from the National Acad.
emy Of Scicncs-The Expedition
Successful.

New HAVEN, Conn, Nov. II.
There was large attendance today at the
session of the national academy of science.
Prof. Young outlined the success of the ex-
pedtion to the Caroline Islands, to observe
the solar eclipse of MAY 6, 1888. The party
arrived at the Caroline Islands April 20, and
left May 9. 1888.
The total solar eclipse on May 9Th had the
largest tOtality of any which has heretofore
been observed. Four contacts were observed
without difficulty. The sky was clear at the
first contact, but became cloudy at intervals
until near the totality. 1t was clear during
the totality except a slight haze during the
first few minutes, cloudy for few minutes
after the the third contact, and finally clear
at the fourth. Almost Immediately after the
phase had been completed, a cloud swept
over the sun and it began to rain but science
had accomplished its object.
During the total phaze there was absolutely
no solar heat manifested, the sun being put
out as it were, and the earth left in cold and
darkness. This lasted ten minutes. There
was no wind during the entire visit and the
barometer was notably uniform. During the
voyage, series of observations were made
by Mr.. Upton on southern variable stars.
DR.. Hastings and Mr.. Holden, while on the
Island discovered % new double stars. a list
of which is preserved. In preparing for the
eclipse, Mr.. Holden assigned each observer
a single duty. The field photography was
left to the English and French party, which
was very successful. Two botanical collec.
tions were made and one new specimen
found also collection of South Pacific but
terfies.

Up to and including Oct. 81, $40 cases have

The repart also says that the utmost diligence

ton Is therefore made that the life of the
court be extended by Congress.
