NEw lORK, June 6.--What looks like
n powder trust Is now In operation
backed by many million dollars and
virtually controlled by three big manu-.
featuring concerns which viii create
the price Of that commodity. The three
companies are the Latin a Rand Pow
der company. the Hazard Powder com.
pany and the Dupont Powder company,
all of this city. As result Of the CON-
bination the price Of rifle powder, or
what Is called sporting powder, has ad'
yanccd from s325 for a keg weighing
20 pounds TO a.
The schedule for other grades has
been corespOndingly advanced. The
new order went into effect June !.
Although the officials Of these CON-
panies say there was no agreement be-
tween them, the fact that prices were
advanced on the same day 10 the same
figures might seem 10 indicate other
wise.
The Phmnix Powder company, in the
Havcmeyer building, Is one Of the hnt
Of the 20 odd smaller companies 20 sur

Of the three larger COMPANIES.

THE CITIZENS LEAGUE Meet Yesterday at the
 City Hall. Meeting Was Conducted in
 Secret. Are Prepariug Their Dynamite Rooms for a General
 Round Up.

The Citizens, league met yesterday afternoon at the city hall, and after the routine business reading minutes of previous meeting, initiation of new members, announcement of important committees, etc., surprise was vis- ited upon outsiders and reporters in the shape of a motion that i've do now go into executive session." The motion was carried and the sergeant at-arms was instructed to perform the unhappy duty of escorting visitors to and outside of the door.
 The reporters recognized the fact that something was up and coming, and, as usual with that class, did not feel at all put out, although literally going through that process. From the determined expressions on the faces of the members of the league it is a safe prdiction That the near fu- ture will show the importance of this band of citizen brotherhood fighting in the cause of honesty and protection of the rights and interests of the tax payers.
 What was learned after diligent in- quiry, does not warrant careless publi- cation, but it is safe to state that the bombs are being made ready and when the torch is applied to the fuse there will be a general scattering and un- easiness among the crowned heads ot official life.

ANOTHER CHAPTER.
Carpenters Proceed to Build a Plume
 Across the Tempe Canal

Another little by-play was enacted yesterday in the war between the Con- solidated and Tempe canal companies. Yesterday morning erak=carpenter in the employ of the Consolidated Canal company began work of con- structing a Hume across the Tempe canal, presumably to carry the water from the Crosscut after passing through the turbine across the Tempe canal
 The employees of the Tempe canal who have been keeping a close watch on the Consolidated canal viewed the proceedings with interest until it be- came apparent that Hume was being constructed across their waterway They then put veto on further op- erations by stating that if the Consoli- dated wanted to build Hume it would be we'll for the company to first get permission from the Tempe canal of ficers or get legal authority to con- struct the Hume. The carpenters not being sure of their point did not wait to show their hand for fear of being drawn into battle and suspended op- erations for the time.

LONDON, March 14.-There is much rejoicing in the British army at the prospect of another campaign in Sou dan in spite of the past experiences with the fierce, tireless troops of Nah di and the recent defeat of the Ital. ians by the Abyssinians. That the British-Egyptian advance on the Nile from Wady Halfa on. dongolas has been determined upon is no longer. in doubt. All the British officers of the Egyptian army who have been absent on leave have been ordered to return to their posts immediately.
 A dispatch from Cairo announces that the Connaught rangers have al ready been ordered to Wady' Halfa The proposed campaign has been i'm pending for a year past, although 1t was undoubtedly precipita.ed by the crushing defeat of General Baratieri at Adowa, which it is believed, must have a depressing effect upon the pres tige of European arms and may con sequently lead to an advance north ward of the dervishes. But the real reason for the campaign now being prepared at the British war office may be found il the fact that Egypt will never be the same from attack and disaster so long as Mahdis' power re- mains unshattered.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 14.-The annual strike of sailors is expected ito take place in less than ten days. Unless owners accede to the demands of the Sailors union for more pay the strike will be fiercer than ever before. Sailors are becoming scarce, most of them seeking work in canneries. As soon as all idle sailors get away the sailors of the coastwise trade will ask for better wages. They will be re- fused by the ship owners association and then will come the strike.

DUSOCK.
A Compound That Will Heal All Bi-
 cycle Tire Pundtures.

Yesterday the articles of incorpora- tion of the Anti-Puncture Manufactur- ing company were filed in the office of the county recorder, naming Frank T. Alkire as president, George A. Alkire, vice-pres.denIt; and Ziba O. Brown as secretary and treasurer.
 The objects of the organization are to manufacture ''Du-sock," and to en- gage in the handling and perhaps the manufacture of bicycles and acces- sories the capital stock is named at $10,0O0, in shares of $10 each; their principal place of business is at Phoe- nix, through which all business of the company will be handled, although ar engagements are completed for a fac tory in St. Louis, from which point all eastern trade will be supplied.
 The right under which this con- pany will operate is the embodiment of the idea which was conceived and per fected by Mr Brown of the company but upon which he was not successful enough to secure a patent, the same having been lately allowed to ithe h. diana Rubber and Insulated Wire company, on a prior conception, upon which the sole right to operate within the United States has been secured by the new corporation.
 The rights under which this com pany proposes to work are new de- parture and embody an idea in the re- pairing of leakages in pneumatic tires which many prominent manufacturers l and repairers have during the past years endeavored to grasp and sue cessfully apply. Some have been in a measure successful, while others have i been forced to return to the old meth ods in disgust, and patiently wait fo1 some ingenious psrson to perfect an in ternal method for repairing punctures in all classes of tires; as in this way the pressure of the impounded air is made to assist in the perfect sealing instead of being the opposing force tf overcome.
 The method of successfully accomp- fishing the objects of such invention may be briefly stated as consisting in

the embodiment of a semi-liquid viscid sealing compound in the air chamber of a pneumatic tire. Such semi-Iiquid being adapted to remain in such con dibion under all ordinary use and to become thoroughly distributed over every portion of the inner surface of the air chamber by the action of cen trifugal force in the revolution of the wheel; such force also tending to col lect the compound more particularly on the inner surface of that portion of the tire which comes in contact with the ground, making a sufficient supply always where it is most required for immediate use. The permanent clos ing of any puncture by the force of escaping current of air carrying with it a sufficient amount of the viscid liquid to adhere to the walls of the opening and entirely obstruct the pass age of any, air whatever. In other words, the entire inner surface is coat ed with the compound, and in case of a puncture it Is impossible for any air to escape until it has forced it's way through such coating, the result being that the compound is forced ahead of the air into the opening and seals it securely before air can escape; this is done without any attention whatever ffcm the rider.
 By the use of "Du-sock" many are adopting the bicycle who before the l invention were confirmed in their be lief that the pneumatic tire was not practical by seeing tires punctured daily and their riders walking home on that account. .t.
 i Naturally the success of the process depends entirely upon the compound employed; and after several years actual use, a compound is found wh' ch is sold with the guarantee that it will remain in semi-liquid condition and seal all puncltures of a usual nature during the wearing life of the tire by d single application, which in quantity is six ounces per tire and the aldi- lessttan one pound D.! pair.

It con taing several weel-known preserva- tives and by excluding the air entirely from the inner surface where in nearly every case deterioration first makB it. self known, the strength of the tire is fully maintained until it is actually worn out.
 This compound will be placed upon the market in two distinct forms, adapted for use in single and double tube types of tires; the double tube compound in cans containing suffi- cient supply for one tire each, with complete directions for use, on a red label, and that for single tube tires in same form with yellow label Use o1 any similar compounds are infringe ments and will be vigorously prose cuted.
