II AitMSBUHO, May 30.
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. He regards tiie situation as crit
ical and communicates these facts to
lbo governor that the latter may un
derstand the necessity for prompt ac
tion. The governor replied at once inform
ing the sheriff that bo has issued a pro
claniation which should be posted con
npicnonsly throughout the county. The
reclamation declares that riotous do
monstrations extat in various sections
of Fayette county whicn threaten lives
aud property and which tho civil umbo
rities are unable to suppress. Com
mands all persons engaged in such de
monstration to disperse, warning them
that persistence in violation will com
pel resort to military force to compol
obedience of the law.
STRIKItRS CAPTURE A TISAIN.
BRAZIL, lad., May 30. To evade in
terfereaoe from the striking miners, a
Vandalia railway crew went down to
the llellie mine at 11 o'clock Inst night
to move out ten 11 it cars loaded with
coal. As tho train stopped to switch
on to tiie main track it was captured
by a gang of strikers who cut the cars
loose, piled ties between them aud
dumped tho coal on ihe tracks. The
miuors' organizatlou has declined the
invitation of the committee of business
in n to meet tonight and dlsontS the
situation. Tbe feeling is usly.
Inidianai'OLIs, Ind., May 30. Gover
nor Matthews said today that he will
not call out the militia unlets it is
clearly proved to him that tbe sheriff'
forces cannot control the striking mi
ners iu Vermillion and Clark counties.
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. Five morn of the Stickle
Hollow strikers furnished bail this
moruing and were released. James
Lunghrey, the young man charged
with the killing of one of the Slave tit
Stickle Hollow, was brought here to
j ul this morning. He will be given a
bearing in a few days. At Kyie,
where the strikers are camping in large
force, no outbreak has occurred, al
though it is reported that tbe deputies
fired several fthots at strikers this
morning for uttempts to interfere with
the workmen. No one wns hurt.
Bei.mcfontb, Pa., May 30.-Tho conl
operators in Center county havo written
to Sheriff Condo here, in king him to be
iu readiness to respond to a call for as
sistance at any lime. It seems to be
the inteution of tho operators to start
their mines with new men at the old
scale. The sheriff was through the
snow shoe district yesterday, but found
no reason for the operators asking for
help at the present time.
CRISIS AT CHirPI.tt CREEK
Denver, OoL May 30. Gov. Waits
last night left Denver secretly
and this morning arrived at
Victor, where he is having a
conference with the miners. Tho
governor says he goes to Cripple Crek
as a Knight of Labor to tulle with his
fellow knights. No more war, there
fore, has been made to-day. 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.
The citizsns of Colorado Springs
have been alarmed by private reports
received there that the strikers intend
to come to that plnco and capture mine
owners and hold thein as hostages.
They held a mooting this morning and
appointed a home guard of 200.
Speeches were made by prominent
cilizens, ono of whom, a banker, offer
ed his entire property to the county
commissioners to assist in pntting down
the Insurrection.

Columbus, o., May 80. A special
from Gloucester, Athens county, states
that striking miners stopped a Toledo
and Ohio Central conl train loaded
wilh West Virginia coal yesterday and
detained it. This morning another
train was stopp? 1 there. The railway

owing to tho great number of slrikers,
he decided to involve military aid.
CINCINNATI O, May 30. Governor
McKinley, who is here attending Dec
oration bay exercises, has issued or
ders calling out the state troops to
proceed at once to Athens connly to
quiet the trouble among tbe miners.
Tlis request from Sheriff Riley, of that
county, readied tho governor iiero and
he lost no timo iu granting it.
Indianapolis, lnd., May 30. The
Evauville and Terre Haute railroad,
by its attorneys, m ide application to
the federal court here today for a rc-
Itratning order to prevent the striking
miners from interfering with its
trains. A conference was held with
Judge Biker, but for some reason tbe
order was refused. The attorneys then
sought Governor Matthews und held a
consultation with mm at which it is
supposed protection was demanded,

Columbus, O.. May 30. A special
from Gloucester says that a bridge on

ably by the strikers, Passenger trains

Stopped by the strikers.
rHILUPSBUBQ, Pu., May 30. Indica
tions nro now that tho operators have
united to break tho strike, and that a
beL'inuing will possibly be made in
Pcale and O'Shsnter by the Blooming
ton Coal Mining company, nnd tho
Consolidated Coal Mining tiompany,
nnd at Horatio, Welston and Adrian
iu tbe Pnnxsutawney district, by the
Berwind White Coal Mining company.
It is not -likely there will be an at
terr.pt to start in either flomzlalo or
Phluipsbnrg until tbe outcome of the
attempt in seen in the above named
plaoes,
Columbus, O., May 30 Further
trouble has neon averted, nt least teffl
pcrarily, at Gloucester, by the railway
Company agreeing not to attempt to
handle any mure coal at present,
and the order for the troops
to go thore has been recall
ed. It is understood that tho company
proposes to resume the shipment of coal
on Friday. Tnere will be trouble
again if thi-y do so, ns tho thousands
ot idle miners there nro determined
that West Virginia coal shall not pass
through the valley.
