Mckinney Endorses No One.
Argus story Verified.

The foregoing from The Argus
Washington correspondent, not only
verifies the special appearing in The
Argus of Saturday, both as to the dis
position of Postmaster General Cortel
you to reappoint Postmaster T. H
Thomas under the merit rule, but the
actual candidacy of E. H. Buck for the
Rock Island postmastership. The lat
ter development given exclusively in
The Argus, has proven as has hereto
fore stated, the most surprising phase
of the local postoffice situation, and
the only Interpretation heretofore of
the appearance of Mr. Bucks name
among the candidates, was possible
confusion of names in the mind of the
postmaster general, owing to the can
didacy of Postmaster Clarence Buck of
Monmouth also in this congressional
district for reappointment.
1t is presumed from the above fur
thermore, that the postmaster general
has now received the reports from his
special commissioners who, as stated
by The Argus in connection with the
former discussion of the Washington
intelligence, visited Rock Island last
week and made quiet but thorough
investigation of the conduct of the
Rock Island postoffice. and of the en-
tire local situation relative TO its adj
ministration. In a word it now APP
pears that the postmaster general has
reiterated what he said last Satur-
day, to the effect that Thomas would
be reappointed under the established
rule of the department pertaining TO
postoffices that are rated excellent.
Buck An Actual Candidate.
But the most interesting part of to-
days advices to The Argus is the final
confirmation of the candidacy of E. II.
Buck. who thus becomes the dark
horse of the contest. This too, doubt
less explains Mr. Bucks evasive replies
to the questions put to him on the sub
ject by a representative of The Argus
after the first information was received
that could be construed as disclosing
his possible candidacy. That Mr..
Buck has not only been a candidate
but particularly prominent one, in
Washington, at least, is thus positively
and while Congressman
Mckinney may not have interested
himself in his behalf, he is believed to
have congressional endorsement.
When again seen by an Argus repre-
sentative this morning, Mr. Buck was
as dsinclined to discuss the subject
of his candidacy as on the first Oc-
casion. Asked if he knew by this time
he was Mr.. Buck of Mon
mouth or Mr. Buck of Rock Island, he
answered with a twinkle:
"Oh, / might be Mr.. Buck of any
Monmouth, or Rock Island"
well, how about Peoria?" he was
asked.
Eyes. or Peoria or Milwaukee" he
answered and that was all Mr. Buck
Of Rock Island would say on the sub
Jet.
What of the other Candidates.:
Meanwhile those other known Rock
Island candidates, not SO far mention'
ed as before the department. G. E.
Bailey, E. H. Bowman, George f.
and DR.. ]. w. Stewart, will
likely wonder what has become of
heir petitions.
AS announced in last evenings Ar |
gus, r. w. Olmsted is now in Wash |
ngton. and what effect his presence |
will have upon the attitude either of |
he postoffice department or of Con- |
FRESHMAN Mckinney remains to be |
;een.

COAL MINERS CO
OUT ON STRIKE

PttsburC, Pa. Feb S--The threatened
strike in the bituminous coal fields OF
western Pennsylvania broke out is-t
night and I'm n quarter least expected. 4
message from Dubois says that all the
miners OF the Clearfeld and jefferson
Coal and Iron company. operating at
Yatesboro. Helvetia and Sykesville. were
ordered to throw down their tools after
every effort 10 affect settlement Of the
wage question had failed.
The order affects 10000 mines, 2oc0 rail
road men and 500 shopmen.
The Buffalo. Rochester and Pittsburg
Railroad company's offices here received
notice tonight that there would be no
further shipments q coal until the troI-
bile Is settled.
The men who are out declar re they will
not return to work until the bituminous
miners OF tho country as a body settle
the question OF wage scale.
The bituminous miners In the Dubois
district are not fully organized, although
they have been working largely under
union ouspices. No more loyal body to
the union cause. however. can be found
in the ranks of unorganized miners in
western Pennsylvania.
Every hour develops greater seriousness
In the situation. a dispatch from Johns
town last night indicates that the great
body or bituminous miners there are
ready and eager for the inevitable fght.
William Currie. the president OF the
miners organizatio I'm that district. said
last night: II believe and expect that the
miners will strike all over the country
on plan. I hold this view becaunse both
sides to tho indianapolis conference left
that session determined TO fight rather
than compromise the issues dividing
them.
THE miners feel that with coal prices
averaging from ~ TO 30 cents n ton higher
than several months ago. with the tre-
mendous demand for coal everywhere.
with the steel business enjoying a boom
such as has never been known before
and with the present unparalleled pros
perity OF the country generally. they are
entitled 10 share in the good times to the
extent OF their demands. I know they
will fight rather than YIELD"
