The Strikers Preparing to March
to Several Shafts in Force to Bring
Out the Men still at WOrk-Arbitrn-
tors Trying to Induce the Pitts
burg District Operators to Hold n
Meeting.
Pittsburg, July 22.-Excitement was at
fever heat in local miners circles to-day.
The operators were apparently preparing
for any demonstration and before night
fall they were convinced that matters
had taken a serious turn. Early in the
morning about 500 miners from the Fin
layville district marched upon the Bunola
mines on the river and succeeded in bring
ing the men at work out.
Sheriff Lowry of this county has a force
of deputies ready for duty at a moments 5
notice and trouble Is looked for at any
time. A march on the Turtle Creek, Plum
Creek and Sandy Greek mine is expected
at any time. 1t was learned from reli-
able authority that such a march was in
contemplation, but wouldn't take place
until the latter part of the week.
AT Cannonsburg, IL was reported that
l,UUU men would march to the Cook mines
tonight and stay until the diggers came
out Sheriff Clark of Washington county
was on hand with a, large number of dep
uties and trouble was expected IL the strik-
ers attempted to force the men to quit
work.
The miners leaders. continue at work in
an effort to get the miners in the Connells-
vile coke region out, but dispatches from
Uniontown and Dunbar indicate that they
are meeting with poor success. A Union
town dispatch says the leaders are very
much disheartened and admit privately
that they have failed to create any strike
sympathy
The Red Stone miners, 1t is claimed, will
be back next week
Dunbar dispatches say there is very lit
tie probability that the coke region will
become factor in the strike. The new
state law to compel coal operators to
weigh the coal before it is screened and
to pay the miners on this basis is to be
tested to it's fullest extent and the whole
uniformity agreement hinges on this test.

Pittsburg operators to-day, and they are

ing, but it is hoped TO accomplish this
shortly.
A Wheeling dispatch says the miners at
the Bogg's mines refused TO come out
when requested by a committee of the
strikers to do so to-day and arrangements
are being made for a demonstration of
strikers tomorrow. While it is declared
to be a peaceful demonstration another
refusal to come out may precipitate
trouble.

Go 10 the White House and Make
"a Final PrOtcst-.An Effort to Com

Collector and Rucker His Deputy
Fails.
Washington, July 22.-TIenry A. Rucker's s
nomination for collector of internal reve-
nue. has been made out and 1t will proba-
have been sent in to-day but for the inter-
position OF Maj. Hanson, who arrived this
morning
Senators Bacon and Clay went to the
white house and made a final protest
against Fuckers appointment on account
of his color, but the President indicated
that the objection was not sufficient to
overcome the political pressure behind
him.
Mai. Hanson also saw the President on
the same subject and suggested that a
compromise might be arranged, by giving
Walter Corbett the collectorship and MAX
ing Rucker his first deputy. The Presi-
dent said the administration had been ac-
cused of discriminating against the color
ed man, and he proposed 90 refute that
charge by appointing Ruoker, as the lat
ter's friends declined to compromise on
Corbett
Maj. Hanson went TO the capitol and
conferred with Senator Clay and after
ward with Senator Hanna, the latter hav-
ing endorsed Rucker
Late this evening Senator Hanna called
a conference of Messrs. Hanson, Corbett
and Rucker, when the proposition to sub
stitute Corbett for Rucker was suggested
to Rucker for the first time. He was
greatly surprised and intimated that Cor
bett was not acting in good faith with
him. He positively declined to withdraw in
favor of Corbett, and the result was that
Senator Hanna said he would not recon-
mend a change in the original programme
unless it was agreeable to Rucker
The conference ended and Senator
Hanna went over to the white house and
reported In favor of Rucker.
1t is understood that Maj. Smyth is
slated for the Atlanta postofice and his
nomination may go in with Fuckers.
