K OVERNOR PATT1SON today re Li celved a letter from Sheriff Wil li helm, of Fayette county, in Viitl which tbe sheriff details nt length the various conflicts caused by the striking coke workers, several of whicli resulted in death of persons and injury to iniinv others. He informed the governor that tho strikers march in luro bodies, iu some instuuee 2,000 in number, and that owing to tbe large numbers and tho dangerons character of tho mob it is extromely diflicult to secure pons'-a equal to tbe emergen cies.

KIN KM DESIRE SETTLEMENT. PmLLIPSBDRO, Pa.. May 30. In an swer to an inquiry as to what his opinion was of tbe operators' confer ence with Governor Pattieon, James White, of HontBdale, tin strike leader In the ClCarfleld district, said: "If the operators of the Central Pennsylvania lields and oilier regions in this compet ing district will unito in naming ex actly what rate per ton they are will ing to pay the miners they would put nothing in tho way ton speedy settle ment." The governor's m-ssag to White Inst night was Immediately wired to President McBride. Mr. VVliito said that there is no truth in tho report that the wages of the miners in the Poca hontas dLtrict are -10 per cent, lower than wages paid in this region. Ho said that before tbe suspension the miners in Pocahontas received 35 cents a net ton, that as soon as the suspen sion was ordered the operators gave their miners an advance of 5 cents n ton, and taking into consideration that the miners of that region have no dead work to perform, he thinks they are better paid th in tue minors in this re gion at 35 cents net. The report that tho sheriff of Clear field county has istud a letter to miners, has no further foundation than that at tho time the minors were making demonstrations at Woodland, where the mines were guarded by conl and iron police, the sheriff had pre pared for him a carefully worded pro1 -lamntiou, which be intended to ujs if necessary. The necessity has not yet arrived. QUIET AT STICKLE HOLLOW, Uniontown, Pa., May 3(1 No out breaks nre reported at any point in tbe region today.

Waits last night left Denver secretly and this morning arrived at Victor, where he is having a conference with the miners.

The strikers have warned the people that they dislike to leave tbe town of Cripple Creek. Deputy sheriffs nre still encamped at Divide and are bsing reinforced. It is not thought that Waite's pres ence will stay a battle, which seems inevitable, and tbe general belief is that trouble will occur as soon as the CRITICAL governor leaven. The people oC Color ado Springs and D.nver are highly in censed at the governor and his parti ality to the strikers and the prese is' unanimous in condemnation of his acts, fven the Populist papers pointing out the governor's errors.
