Pattison Sends kilograms to the
Strikers of Central
Pennsylvania.

HARRISBURG, May 90. 9.-Whether the
result of the conference between Gov

plishes anything remains to be seen.

ernor and had q consultation that
lasted until almost midnight AT the
close the governor made public to the
newspaper men a telegram that he had
written to James White. one of the
strike leaders in the Clearfield region.
and which said embodied the result of
the conference. 1t is as follows:
To James White. Houtzdale. Pa:
After conference with the operators Of
central Pennsylvania, l find they are
willing and offer TO pay the highest wages
paid in competitive districts in the United
States, and to condnct their business with
the miners Of Pennsylvania on that basis.
ROBERT E. PATTIsoN.
The governor considers this con-
cession because it really is all the op
orators can pay ard compete with
those in the Same business who ship to
the same points He said the oper-
ators were in friendly mood, and
very anxious to have a settlement.
Should the miners agree to the propo.
sition the strike will be broken.
The operators were seen by the
United Press correspondent on their
return from the executive mansion,
but they declined to give the result of
the conference on the ground that
whatever was to be given out would
be given by the governor.

SOFT COAL OPERATORS.
Gloomy Gathering at Philadelphia to
Discuss the 6ituminous Strike
Situation.

PHILADELPHIA, May 2S A majority
of the soft coal operators of Central
Pennsylvania seem to be congregatsd
in this city at present. Most Of them
today spent the time in visiting the
Offices Of tho different bituninous
mines and exchanging views upon the
strike situation and the result Of yes
terday's conference. With many of
them there is hope that the visit of
Mr.. Berwind and Mr.. Scott to Harris
burg to confer with Governor Patti.
sou upon the situation. may result in
some measures OF mediation or ar oitra-
ton.
Others again take gloomy view OF
the situation and reluctantly admit
that they fear blood will be shed be.
fore the strike will bs settled. If the
committee of three authorized by the
conference yesterday to devise plan
Of action for the resumption of work
has been appointed, their names were
not made public today. 1t is probable.
however, that Mr.. Berwind, chairman
of the meeting, did not appoint the
committee, but is awaiting the result
Of his meeting with the governor be.
fore he does SO.
President McBride's plan Of camp
align, in not allowing the miners OF any
one association to retuIu to work where
an advance had been offered, is con-
aidered by the operators to bs the weak
spot in the mine union leaders other
wise admirably conducted struggle.
The operators contend that this action
Of McBrides will inevitably cause the
collapse of the strike. They argue that
the conditions are entirely different in
the various states where bituminous
coal is mined. aud that resumption OF
work in Ohio, for instance, would moi
effect the Pennsylvania market.

dations of Shocking Character.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, May 20 "A spec
ial from Palatka says: Negroes con-
tinue to commit series of outraSes.
The people of this section are very
much excitel over the discovery of
diaboiical conspiracy among the
negroes to commit a series Of
outrages upon white women. A negro
preacher by the name of Burgis came
to the neighborhood Of Putnam hall,
made damaging remarks about the
daughter of farmer living nearby,
and proposed to negroes that they
should seize this girl and several other
white women and carry them into the
swamp and make them submit to their
embraces.
1t is understood that several negroes
agreed to the plan and that prepara-
tions were being made to carry it into
effect. The white people secured evi.
dence that such conspiracy did exist
and they took steps to guard their
homes. The negroes learned that their
plan was known and secretly began to
leave the country. Burgis fled
lust in time TO escape from a number
Of white men who had gone to secure
him. II was learned that he had gone
to Georgia and the father of the young
lady whom he had slandered swore out
a warrant for him.
The Georgia authorities were COM
municated with and Burgis was ar
rested. A Florida officer returned with
the negro, and fearing mob, stopped
off at little station called Newburg,
intending to secret the prisoner. He
was suddenly confronted by 100 men,
who took Burgis and hanged him.
the white people are wild with rage
aud it is believed that more lynchings
will follow.

appeared o few days ago in The State
an account Of the location, by the
States fertiliZer inspectors, Of a large
amount of fertilizers In Marlboro coun-
ty, near the North Carolina line, to
which the South Carolina tax tags had
not been affixed. The officers who
came across the fertilizers, thought that
the North Carolina company could be
held liable for the violation Of the laws
of this State. But the company was too
sharp. Had it delivered the stuff In
Sonth Carolina to the purchasers then
1t would have been liable. But instead
or delivering 1t, 1t got the South Caro-
lima Farmers, who live near the line. to
come across to the factory with their
wagons and the fertilizers were thus
delivered In North Carolina. The farm.
ers brought the stuff In themselves. and
II the State gets its tax it will have to
collect 1t from them. Governor Tillman
says the company simply duped and
fooled the poor farmers of this State
into breaking the law. The State will

OF the several counties should meet be-

The act declares all other acts on the

ssolutely impossible to charge the old
