Sensational Personal Encounter on the New
York stock Exchange.
Special to the Gazette.
NEW YoRK, May 25.-There was a brief but
lively personal encounter in the stock exchange
trading room on Thursday afternoon between
two well-known brokers. All hands were sworn
to secrecy because of the absurdly severe pun

struck in the face and got thirty
day suspension, although he was the injured

ADVANCE IN SPIRITS.
The Whisky Trust Increase Their Profits
$4,000 Per Day.


Special to the Gazette.
New YORK, May 25.-The whisky trust Off
cially made an important announcement yester-
day. 1t was to the effect that on June / the
price OF spirits will be advanced By the trust
seven cents gallon, or from 81 .O4k, the present
price, to 81, III. The pronunciamento was not
entirely unexpected In the trade, although it
was not generally thought the advance would
be quite so steep. Ever since the whisky trust
managers bought OFF their two most formidable
competitors but two weeks ago the st. Paul dis
tillery company Of st. Paul and n. II. Schue-
feldt company of Chicago it has been
generally understood prices would be advanced.
The stock of the st. Paul company was pur-
chased by the trust, and a working agreement
was made by the trust with the Schuefeldt COM
pany. This arrangement removes practically all
outside competition to the whisky trust, and
leaves them virtual control Of the market The
trust people, while they admit the advance of Z
cents gallon will add SO. 900 day to the profits
of the trust, claim they have been selling spir
at very little more than cost for
two years past. The trust has been
paying dividend of one-eighth of per cent.
month and ~ per cent. year. 1t is also
claimed by the trust the advance in spirits will
not affect the retail price, but it viii be taken
of the profits of the compounder and blender.
1t is not probable, however, that the trust can
control the actions of either the blenders or re-

Labor Movement which Nay Become General
in New York City.
Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, May 25.-There may be general
strike among the cigar makers of this city.
About 1900 men were a strike last night, and
this number will probably be largely increased
tomorrow evening. The strikers demand
an increase of wages. This demand
is based on the claim that their
pay has been so largely reduced in
the past few years it is almost impossible to
make living in the trade. In pursuance of a
resolution passed at the last convention of the
CigaFmakers' International union. committees
ssszSe been visiting the manufacturers and de-
tnS1Eding better rates. In the shops where the
44hand is refused a strike is ordered and the
union looks after the welfare of non-u union well
as the union workers. At union headquarters yes
terday 1t was said more of the manufacturers had
refused to increase and that their men would be
called out Monday. Unless the manufacturers
come to terms with the union, the chances are
that general strike in the trade will take place.
The International union is well organized in the
United States and Canada. 1t has thus far this
year won about sixty victories in this city, but
should general strike take place, the union
will have its hands full.

For the Gazette.
My attention was called to tie above some
days since, and have waited thus long for
another to speak, as had reasons to believe he
would do.
While in Wichita Falls on the 9Th inst, I
heard some discussion about occurrences at
the Bowie convention, ETC., and on train re-
with whom have been somewhat familiar,
brought to me q Fort Worth delegate. The
two, the Fort Worth man being the principal
actor, made certain representations concerning
Mr.. Howard, the Bowie convention, etc., which
II correct, would more than juftify the COM
munication complained Of, and per-
sistentty urged and insisted that it
was highly important to the success
of the enterprise under discussion at Bowie and
the Spring Palace for some such communicates
to appear next morning. After considerable
tlemen that the entire thing vas o. Il and that
they would assume every and all Troubles and
expenses of controversies and misuEd erstand-
ings which might grow out of it, permitted the
Fort Worth man to prepare, and went With him
to send communication substantial lily the SINE
as it appeared in The GAZETTE. Now it remains
for the composer of the communication to as
sumo his burden. II he does not, and Mr.
Howard and his friend wish it, / am ready to
give the world the substance of the representa+
