A CORNER ON WINE.
Owners of 100000 Gallons Will
Try to Control the Market.

St. Helena, Cal, Feb. 1O.-The wine
makers corporation, controlling fifteen
million gallons of wine, is making a
strong effort to prevent a further cut
in the price of wine, predicting that an
other decrease in prices will ruin the
wine industry in this state. A strong
effort is now being made to control the
disposition of the wine held outside the
corporation. This done, the producers
would easily have command of the stu,
alton and restore prices to the former
profitable figure.

preparation for what may happen at the
meeting OF the peace commissioners In
Paris tomorrow 1t may be said that tho
officials here have no idea that the Spanish
reply will be an unconditional acceptance
of our last proposition relating to the ac-
QUESTION OF the Philippines. On the other
hand, they do not expect an uneouivocd
rejection.
What Is likely to occur II that the Span
ish commissioners will come In with
counter proposition, the basis Of which will
be a considerable increase In the sum OF
money TO be paid to the Spanish govern
ment for the Philippines.
This will open the way to the Philippines
on that subject, and inasmuch as the COM
missioners spent aboa. six weeks consid-
ering the section OF the protocol dealing
with Cuba and Porto Rico. 1t Is reasonable
to believe that at least a few days may be
properly allowed for the discussion OF tho
Philippines.
In short 1t may be said that the officials
here do not expect final breach OF rela-
tions between the commissioners TO occur
tomorrow. notwithstanding the comments
Of unfriendly European newspapers.
