Facts About Ecuador.

Mr. Louis Boissevain, who has just re-
turned from Ecuador, has some interest,
ing information about that Republic anu
its future prospects.
Ecuador" said Mr.. Boissevain,
"seems to be the least known OF tne
South American Republics, but has, IN
nv opinion, glorious future. It's IN.
ternai resources are simply enormous, pu!
entirely undeveloped. 1t brings mucn OF
its produce from California and Chlle,
because it has not the means OF trans
portation for its own from the !hlgh
table lands of the inteiior. When 1t Is
so transported it is worth its weight IN
gold. ,..,.
"In these northern provinces chickens
are worth six cents each. By the time
they reach Guayaquil, the main seaport
of the country, they are worth 81. A
barrel of potatoes in the interior is worth
s1.20; at the seaport it brings S1s to
SIS. Wheat and barley and other
products are in the same ratio.
"To 60 from Guayaquil to Quito, the
capital, takes the following time: BY
rail five hours, four to six days by mule
according to the condition OF the mules
aud the roads, aud the final portion two
days by stage. .,
"Florrez. who is now President, is
very enlightened and liberal man: he

try is rich in gold, rubber, sugar ano
cattle, and only capital is required tc
bring it to the sea-"
Mr.. Boisseyain said that he visited the
country filled with prejudice against it,
but has returned with full convictions
of its future prosperity.-NeU YORK
