was all the more creditable in that most
OF those taking part in the programme
were very young folks, and in every in
stance they did notably well.
The pillars and temporary stage in the
classroom, the chandeliers, ETC., were
profusely decorated with flowers, blue
bells predominating, and most of the
little girls were dressed i'll blue.
The programme given was as follows,
many Of the participants being heartily
applauded and encored:

Most of the young folks were deserving

the younger ones especially deiighting
the audience.
Rena Hoskinson, in her recitation.
"The Jiner," was enthusiastically APP
plauded, and responded by giving
another sketch with the same success.
Irene Gifford's song, "Who Will Buy
My Roses?" also delighted the audience,
and she was recalled.
1.-THE Baby's Soliloquy'' was given re-
markably well by little Karl Hoskinson,
who in years is not far from babyhood
himself He, too, was recalled and re-
sponded readily with a second recitation.
After the entertainment refreshments,
consisting of cake and coffee, were
served and pleasant and sociable hour
was passed by all.

Hawaii and Peru, for a coaling-station.
has no existence except in the imagina-
ton of our Minister at Quito, Mahany of
Buffalo, n. y. The hard, cold logic of
tncts seems to point in that direction.
Almost as soon as he reached his post
after appointment, came nebulous rumors
of social difficulties, and returning to the
United States he gave lurid description
OF society in Quito, about equally made
up of beautiful black eyes, flashing dag
gers, earthquakes and revolutions. A
semi-diplomatic dlsavowal had to be
made of that highly-drawn picture.
Mahany, still retaining his title and
salary as Minister, next figured as an
unsuccessful candidate for Congress in his
home district in the United States. He
was ordered back to his post of duty.
but, upon one excuse or another, per-
mitted three or four bi-monthly steamers
for Ecuador to sail without him, even
after he received peremptory orders to re-
turn. Eventually, and quite recently, he
found his way back and addressed to this
city letters, going into minute details as
to treaty which he was negotiating for
the acquisition of one of the Galapagos
Islands for coaling-station. He de-
scribed the means he brought to bear and
ut last. it is said, cabled that the treaty
had been mailed. From this source arose
the statement that such a treaty had been
concluded and sent in to the Senate for
ratification.
Strange to say, one or two Senators be-
ing discreetly questioned on the subject.

mittee on Foreign Affairs. appeared to

The lecture on this subject to be de-

Friday evening by Hon. VIM. Jackson
Armstrong of Washington, D. c.,
promises to be one of the richest in

Mr.. Armstrong; Grafton on the nihil-

oratory ever heard from the American
platform. 1t was first given at the re-
quest of Henry Ward Beecher, Rev. T.
De Witt Talmage and Rev. DIR. Storrs in
Brooklyn, n. y; repeated by the invita-
ton of Hon. Abraham Hewitt, late Mayor
of New York City, in Cooper Institute to

them explained to-day there was some
thing or other sent in, aud he thought it
might have been this treaty.
Getting down 20 hard facts, it is ascer-
tanned the only instrument received from
Ecuador is an unimportant convention
relating to the claims between the citi-
zens OF the two countries. The Galapagos
treaty, with all its allurIng advantages,
there is too much reason to believe, is
merely the dream of Rowland B. Ma
hany.
High officials of the State Department
confirm the statement that no treaty for
the acquisition of territory for a coaling
station has been negotiated with Ecuador,
and add that Mahany's correspondence
with the State Department, though vo-
luminous, does not even mention that he
is engaged in an attempt to negotiate
such treaty,

RECIPROCITY TREATIES.

Terminated.

Those With Brazil and Spain May be
Terminated.
WAsHINGToN, April 9.-Investigation
into the workings of several reciprocal
trade arrangements entered into by the
United States with Central aud South
American countries, and Spain for Cuba
and Porto Rico, under the provisions of
the Mckinley Act, which Secretary
Gresham instituted Immediately upon
assuming the duties of his office, it is re-
ported to have led to the determination
by President Cleveland to terminate the
arrangements with Brazil and with Spain
for Cuba and Porto Rico.
Inquiry at the State Department de-
velops the fact that the arrangements
have not yet been terminated. 1t cannot
be ascertained as to the reported action on
the part of the policy of the Administra
ton to abandon reciprocity. On the con-
trary, the result of inquiries tends to
prove that if any such action has been or
will be taken with regard to Brazil and
Spain, 1t will be due to special and local
causes. Complaints are said to have been
received from persons doing business
with Cuba and Porto Rico that the local
officials OF those islands do not observe
the requirements of reciprocal prohibit
i've duty upon articles entitled to admis-
sion free of duty under the terms OF the
convention. Some complaint is also made
OF Brazil in this direction, but to not
nearly so great an extent as with regard
to the islands. The treaty with Brazil is
susceptible to termination on three
months notice by either party; that with
Spain to remain in force so long as it
shall not be modified by mutual agree
ment of the executive power OF the two

Report That the Missouri Pacific IS to
Have n Receiver Denied.
New YORK, April l9.-The dispatch
from st. Louis this morning attributed
to John Blessing of the banking firm of
Gaylor, Blessing IL Co., sensational
story to the effect that the Missouri Pa
cific Railroad Company was approaching
receivership or complete reorganiza-
ton, involving the scaling down of the
interest debt, and that the company has
over 100000 of floating debt not shown
In its reports or statements.
When shown this dispatch Georoe
Gould said: There is not word of
truth in the statement. There is to be no
receiver, and the company's floating debt
is only 100000, all of which is carried
by Russell Sage and myself"
Russell Sage said: There is abso1utalv
no foundation for the statement. There
IS no occasion for a receiver for the com
pany and there will be none. The COM
pany's report tells the truth about the
floating debt. The stock is attacked nv

CIVIL SERVICE.
Surprising Growth of the Number OF
Employees Under the System.

Surprising Growth of the Number OF
Employees Under the System.
WASHINGTON, April l9.-The ninth
annual report of the Civil Service Com
mission was issued to-day. The Com
missioners urge that theiclassitied serv-
ice should be extended as rapidly as
practicable to cover every position in the
public service to which it can appropri-
ately be applied. They earnestly desire
that some such bill as that introduced in
the last Congress to take fourth class
postmasters out of politics may become a
law.
The report continues: ultimately the
system of promotions in the departments
must come under the immediate super
vision of the commission, in order to
secure uniformity and the best results.
4 very serious harm, in our judgment,
results from allowing the chiefs of di-
visions to be excepted from examination,
and, we think, they should be put under
the general rule and be appointed by
promotion from within the service"
The report shows a very surprising
growth of the number of employees, COM
pared with the growth of population.
The percentage of growth of the public
service in ten years is nearly double that
of the population. The whole number OF
places subject to competitive examina-
ton under the rules now is 1925.
