THE UNION PACIFIC.
The Hearing of the Wage Schedule Before
Judge Caldwell Concluded.

The Hearing of the Wage Schedule Before
Judge Caldwell Concluded.
OMAHA, Neb, April A. The hearing
of the wage schedule continues. Gen
eral Manager Dickinson was on the
stand yesterday. He recited the his
tory of the strikes on the road. He re-
ferred to the Gallagher circulars issued
in 1891, in which the management of
the road was notified that if it did not
comply with the demands of the men
the whole system would be tied up. He
contended that the management had
been compelled by these strikes and
threats to pay higher wages than was
just
Then Chairman Vrooman, of the en-.
gineers, took the stand again and
denied that the company had paid the
scale under duress.
Mr.. Clark, of the conductors, was the
next witness. He presented tabu-
lated statement to show that the Union
Pacific paid less than the average
wages paid by all the other roads in
the country. Judge Caldwell pro-
pounded to Mr. Clark the same cues
ton in regard to striking that he had
asked Mr.. Vrooman. Mr.. Clark was
positive that the conductors would
abide by the decision of the court, and
that in no case would they strike.
The conference was practically con-
cluded in the afternoon. A number of
engineers testified as to wages. cost of
living, etc, and Judge Caldwell de-
clared the hearing on rule 1 closed.
He said he understood that was the
only matter in serious dispute. and all
other difficulties could be easily settled
by the men and receivers without the
aid of the court He announced that
he would take recess until next
Thursday, when the findings will prob
ably be made. The Union Pacific was
ordered to pay the wages and board of
men attending the conference.

MIGRATION OF BIRDS.
Why Members of the Feathery Tribe Stay
So Short n Time in One Place.

Why Members of the Feathery Tribe Stay
So Short Time in One Place.
There are some birds that depend al
most entirely for their means of SUBJ
sistence upon the light-winged summer
flies that love the sunshine These the
economy of our cold season does not
provide for. The tree-creepers and the
tits, insectivorous in their propensities,
are content to SEEK food in the crevices
of bark up and down the branches of
old trees, in the cracks of walls in and
out among the stones and bricks of old
buildings, peering, probing, pecking at
the creatures that have sought to get
safely through the cold weather by
hiding. Not SO our migrant singers.
Many of them, like the swallows, eat
only such things as they can catch in
their swift flight open-mouthed through
the air; these are few and far between
in the raw and cold atmosphere of win
ter here. Swift and swallow, nightin-
gale and cuckoo. warbler, wheatear,
whinchat, blackcap, wryneck, fly
catcher-all the merry troupe of stroll
ing singers, must follow the sun and
the creatures that dance in the sun
beams to lands that are sunny in winter.
The movements of the birds that como
and of the birds that go in spring and
autumn are prompted by the a abundance
or the scarcity of certain kinds of food
among the varied store our land affords
The nomadic wanderings of our resi-
dent birds are also foraging expedi-
tions- Only in the spring and the early
summer are any birds able to find the
food they require in one particular
neigh borhood.
Then insect life abounds, and round
about the nesting place enough and to
spare is to be found both for the busy
parent birds and the Unsuitable chicks
and squads But in the autumn and
winter there is strictly speaking, no
such thing as a stationary population
of birds in any place. Then all turn
gypsies and hither and thither wend
their restless way, eluding the famine
of frost here, the dearth of a snow
storm there, or the buffeting of storm
winds, by continually moving on

DENVER, Col, April a-Gen. McCook
looks upon the Coxey movement az

against the army so far" said he to-
day, but by the 1st of May fully be-
lieve there will be an army of 100, 900
hungry, half-clad men clamoring
around the national capitol The spec
tacle of such a vast army of alleged
workingmen asking for employment in
order that they may not starve is some
thing new in the history of the world
II the national troops are ordered out
to drive them away, who can imagine
the complications that may arise
Those men of Coxey's army have
friends and sympathizersi in every state

country is approaching crisis such as
faced it only once before, and that was
at the time of the great rebellion"

There was an unusually full attend

was greeted with a hearty burst of ap-
plause. He lauded the Walker tariff
bill of 1s4s and regretted exceedingly
that this bill did not more closely re-
semble it. He vigorously defended the
income tax feature and free wool clause
and as vigorously condemned the sugar
