If the Mongolian pheasant at all re-

fowl than a sportsman's trophy. Proba-

1t is common thing to hatch out
pheasants under ordinary fowls, and
they readily come at the call foY food.
The less of the game quality they have
the better are they fitted for the spit. Il

PROMISES TO REFORM IT.

President Cleveland Has q Theory Concern
ing the Conduct OF tho Indian Bureau.
WASHINGTON, April ia new pQllcy in
the dealings of the general government
with its Indian wards is one of the reforms
President Cleveland intends to inaugurate.
according to q Congressman interested in
Indian affairs, who saw the President this
morning. 1t is SAID to be the Presidents
purpose to divorce the Indian bureau from
politics, and 1t was In line with this Inten-
tiOn that he had appointed the Commis-
siouer and the Assistant Commissioner of
Indian Affairs. In the case Of Assistant
Commissioner Armstrong he had selected
him because of his immediate knowledge
of Indian matters and not beca use of his
Democracy. The authorization of Congress
to the President for the selection of army
officers as Indian agents whenever he may
see fit to so detail them in place of q civil.
ian, which Mr.. Harrison carried out to
some extent Will be more fully exercised
by Mr.. Cleveland. and, judging from what
he has said, it is probable that he will de-
tail officers of the army for duty as agent
at every Indian agency In the country.
Mr.. Cleveland has given much attention
to the management of Indian affairs, and
believes that the office vas not managed by
ex-COmmIssiOner Morgan with that degree
of un nbiased political and religious feeling
which should pertain to it's administration.
He. therefore. proposes to Introduce num-
Der of reforms. and Congress will hear from
him on the subject at it's next session.

ANOTHER CoALING STATION.

Ecuador Cedes to tho United States o Har-
bor In the Galapagos Isles
WASHINGTON. April 16.-There Is excel
lent authority for stating that the United
States government has concluded treaty
with the governments of Ecuador by
which the United States is given
the right to acquire q coaling sta
tion in the Galapagos isles. posi-
tion of vantage in the Pacific ocean,
and SO situated as to be of vast Importance
to naval vessels This important conces-
sion is the result of negotiations that have
been carried on for some time between Mr..
Rowland b. Mahany, the United States
minister to Ecuador, and the Ecuadorian
Department of Foreign Affairs. The
treaty. 1t is said. was signed some time
last month. and Immediately forwarded to
Washington. 1t is believed that 1t was
sent TO the Senate this week. and is now in
the possession of that body awaiting ratii-
cation.
1t is probable that the recent trouble
with Chilli was factor In influencing the
selection of the Galapagos isles, situated.
as they are. on the west coast. and within
three or four days sail of any Chilian port.
The United States has already acquired
rights TO maintain coallng stations at Psgo
with all conditions. and is now maintain
ing station at Honolulu. 1t was deter
mined By the State Department that the
Galapagos isles possessed all the qualifica-
tions for coallng station. and Minister
Mahany was accordingly directed to
negotiate for the requirement. of
one OF them by this government.
The treaty arranged by him secures
the right to cOaling station to the exclu-
sion of all other nations. So secretly were
the negotiations conducted that no hint of
them was conveyed to the public although
the islands have been mentioned frequent
ly as advantageously situated for the pur-
poses Of q coaling station, and some sur
prise was manifested that the United
States had made no effort to secure foot
hold there. The Galapagos isles are fif-
teen in number. five large and ten small.
They are directly between the routes pre-
scribed by the Navy Department for ves-
sells proceeding from San Francisco to Cal
lao and to Valparaiso. and are also on
the naval route between Honolulu and
Callao and Guayaquil.
