The Leading Hotel and Restaurant Men Of
New York Form One.

The Leading Hotel and Restaurant Men Of
New York Form One.
Especial to THE HERALD-Examlner Dispatch I
New YORK, Oct. 19.-The latest trust is
a champagne combine gotten up by Del
monico, including the most fashionable up
town hotels. The object is to increase the
retail price of champagne II per cent.
Trust prices will go into operation in few
days. The price of quart bottle of the
sparkling beverage at any fashionable up
town resort is now $3.50; hereafter it will
be 81 Pints, which now sell for S1.75, will
be 81. This change will mean a cool quar-
ter of million dollars for the hotel men
aud restauranteurs in the course of year
So qui, tly was the champagne trust gotten
up that it was only within the past day or
two that the importers and wholesale deal
ers heard of it. They are not in the deal at
all, but are now talking of raising the
prices on ali members of the original com
bination. These include Charles Delmon-
leo, James H. Breslin, of the Gilsey house:
William Common. of the st. James hotel;
Luthgate, of the Hotel Brunswick; Hoyt, of
the Victoria; and one or two others, while it
is expected that Hitchcock. Darling & Co,
of the Fifth Avenue hotel, and the proprie-
tors of the Windsor, Grand and other large
houses will Join the procession.
The Ideals said to have been conceived by
Charles DelmOnicO, who sells more cham
payne than any other man in the United
States. But this he will neither admit nor
deny, although cOnfeSsing he is one of
those who have agreed to raise the price.
Another member of the combination, the
proprietor of fashionable Broadway
hotel, made this explanation: THE fact
is we haven't been making any money out
of Champagne for long time. We sell il
from nine dollars to ten dollars case more
than we pay for it, but what with break
age, leakage and the cost of handling,
which is great, this all disappears. The
importers are the only people making
money. The price of champagne is too low.
The hotels and restaurants which have en-
tered into this combination consume about
one half of the champagne that is annually
imported into the United States. The total
import averages about two hundred and
fifty thousand cases, which represents an
expenditure of some seven million dollars.
More than three quarters of this cham
payne is consumed in New York city.
The four Delmonico restaurants alone sell
over one million dollars worth of wine
every year. The prOprietorS of the Astor
house have refused to enter into the cham

present prices, which are now lower than
those charged up town. The men in the
combine say, however, that they have no
fear of any such competitions; that man
throws aside small economies when he is
opening wine and that they will not lose
one customer by the extra 80 cents"
There are now some thirty brands of
champagne on the market and there is hot
competition among the agents. These
gently complain about not being asked into
the deal, and say Delmonico and the hotel
men are too grasping and may over-reach
themselves

Mexican Bonds Stolen.

CRY or MEXICO, Oct. 19-General To-

Torres has been summoned here
The TlCO Republics will tomorrow con-
tain an account of the robbery of $3.50, 900 in
interior department bonds from the fifth
section of the national treasurer. 1t is
stated that 1000 bonds of the nominal
value of s., 500, but with cash value of
over one million dollars, were stolen.
They are reported to have been placed in
London. Several persons have been ar
rested in corn .ction with the robbery.

of the commissioners. 1t is learned in the
state department here that Lord Salisbury
has advised the Dominion government of
his desire to have these unpleasant contro-
Versles brought to speedy and amicable
settlement.
Sir Julian also returns with instructions
to ascertain the views of the Harrison ad-
ministration on the question of a more ex-
tended extradition treaty with Great Bri-
tain, and the outlook for the successful
negotiation for new treaty as to the ques-
ton OF extending commercial relations be-
tween Canada and the United States in the
way of reciprocal trade treaty. A mem
Der of the Dominion cabinet states that
that has been left entirely in the hands of
the Canadian government by Lord Sails
bury. OF course, the British minister at
Washington would be the intermediary
figure in any negotiations or proposals as
all correspondence on the subject, while
originating with the Canadian government,
would have to pass through the hands of
the imperial authorities.
The Citizen, the organ of the Dominion
government at Ottawa, in commenting on
the possibility of negotiating a commercial
treaty with the United States, said yester-
day morning: 1.-THE government of Canada
has at all times displayed its readiness to
enter into fair reciprocal trade relations
Will 6ile OHlteu soIdUeS, consistent Win Une
country's commercial independence and
protection of its industries, but up to the
present time there has not been manifested
by the United States a desire to meet its
standing offer of limited reciprocity half
way''
A refutation of the charge that there is
dissension in the Dominion cabinet over the
question of reciprocity, bears a strong i'm
print of having been inspired.
1t is understood that Sir Charles Topper
will leave London for Canada next month
and will meet SirJ. Paunceforte at Ottawa,
when the programme for future negotia-
lions will be outlined and discussed with
the Dominion cabinet. The fact is that
Sir Charles is the backbone of the whole
legislative machinery at Ottawa when dip
lomatic negotiations enter the field Sir
John Macdonald, able statesman that he is,
cannot attempt to deal with matters of in
trade or dispute, such as the
fishery question and the Behring sea diff
Guilty now presenting themselves. The
British government has also requested to
be fully posted and informed on the Alaska
boundary question, with view to having
the boundary defined before any serious in
complications with the United
States arise on that account.

WASHINGTON, Oct. IA dispatch from
Minister DENLY under date of August 81
referring to the ravages of theYellow river
in China says: The damage caused by the
latest breaks fin its bed is irreparable
owing to the deposits of salt 1t is esti-
mated that fifty years must elapse before
the lands inundated will be useful again
for agricultural purposes. The peculiar
feature of the trouble is that the
deposits in the bed of the river are so
constant in accretion that any system of
prevention of these breaks in the banks
caused by rise in the bed of the river to
be effective would cost most enormous
sum OF money. 1t seems likely that any
radical system of prevention of these
breaks will never be adopted, and
floods may be expected each year

MANCHESTER, Oct. 19.-Balfour's chief
secretary for Ireland in a speech tonight
declared the recent Gladstonian elections
were due to the Socialistic agitation. The
Irish tenantry wanted home-rule in order
to get power to appropriate somebody's
property. Gladstone might not look be-
yond home-rule, but Labouchere and others
cared less for hone rule than for social
spoilation; the Gladstonians were trying
to debauch the nation and destroy the
union.
