CAMPBELL REFUSES TO APPEAR.
HE SAYS THAT TIE ORDER is GROWING

The strike of 5000 railroad miners is
ended, and work in all of the mines will be
resumed to-day. A concession was made
by the diggers, and the operators also con-
ceded point or two. The price for the en-
tire year will be IS cents per ton, which is 1
cent less than was demanded.
By this concession the miners will not
lose more than 81 or SS apiece. The opera
tors seemed anxious to settle the trouble,
and when the convention was held on Mon
day, sent a messenger to the meeting asking
for a conference.
A committee was appointed to meet them,
but they declined to enter into any agree
ment unless the operators assured them that
they had power to act. The convention
then adjourned and reassembled at Knights
of Labor Hall yesterday morning. The
Pittsburg Coal Association also met yester-
day morning at their rooms on Fifth ave-
nue.. After discussing the situation at
length it - decided to settle the matter, if
possible and a committee OF three was ap-
pointed. with power to act
LARGE REPRESENTATION.
The miners convention was well attended,
there being representatives present from N. P.
U.,K of L. and unorganized mines. They
also appointed a committee which met the
operators, and in a short time an agreement
was drawn up and signed which settles the
wage question among the miners of the Pitts
burg railroad district for one year.
The miners urged 74-eent rate, and finally
offered to submit the matter TO arbitration,
but the operators would not agree to this.
After arguing the question for several hours
the following was drawn up and signed by the
two committees:
PITTsBURG. May IA.
At a convention held in this city this day,
the resolution presented to offer TO the
operators the price of 7S cents as the
price to govern the mining of coal in

THE SITUATION AT DUQUESNE.

Rails Are Being Made and the Strike viii
Likely be Lost.
There has been no change in the situation
at Duquesne. Trouble is experienced by
the Steel Company in securing supplies for
the men inside and to obtain houses for
married men. All the stores in the neighbor-
hood except 6. R. Fawcett's, at Salisbury, re-
fuse to sell the company anything.
The number of strikers seems to be getting
less. 1t is reported that they are leaving town
and have given up the strike. Deputies still
patrol the town and yards. The mill is running
full with about 200 men working who seem to
be making rails pretty lively.

How Birds Fly.

The fundamental proposition is that
gravity, or the weight of the bird, so
far from being that which is simply to
be overcome in flying, is the greatest
factor in the mechanics of flight, with
out which momentum would be impos.
siblo. IL is well known that, as n rule,
birds which fly the fastest and
strongest are those whose bodies are tho
heaviest in proportion TO their spread of
wing. Gravity acts upon the flight
somewhat as does the string of kite,
which at once holds the kite down aud
enables it tn rise against tho wind. Many
other roints are involved in different
cases and under different circumstances,
but in all of them gravity is the most
important factor Washington Star.

pcrnic.ous Winter seedlings.

There is kind of winter seeding not
generally entering into the plan of the
average farmer. Winter Is in thought
associated with period of rest and COM
parative death in the vegetable world.
Tho winter wheat lies dormant in its
frozen Led beneath the white blanket of
fallen snow. end the cars of corn selected
for next springs seeding are stored out
of the reach of the mice in the crib. All
meadow and pasture land sleep on until
wokened BY the sileut qnickening of the
going forward through tho short days
aud nights OF the severe months in the
dead of winter. Every gust OF wind that
hu.rie by the street corner and die
away IN momcntary cnlm; every giant
gaze which comes down from the frozen
north and sweeps whole States with n
bosom of relentless fuzzy, may carry with
it the germs of weeds and deposit them
in some secure place where the spring
sun finds and quickens them into new
life.
All sowines are not confined to the newly
narrowed field or the CHI and mellow
garden. If it were SO. farming and gar
dening would be less serious matter
than it is. Many seeds like those of
the dreaded Canada thistle are provided
with light, fcaihery appendices by
which the ripencd seeds take long flights
in the upper air like so many miniature
balloons. Other plants, rs the burdock
and beggar's lice, rely for transportation
upon the passing animals to which they
adhere by hooks, thus stealing n ride.
[ theirs still are left without any special
structure for migration, and must there.
fore depend in part upon the favorins
conditions of winter. The various sorts
of tumble weeds break up into number
of pats, or by decay of the main
stem at its union with the soil the whole

which remain upright with their seed
