NO TRBATY WITH ECUADOR.

The United States Minister Seems to
Have Been a Little Premature.
WASHINGTON, April 10. The announce
ment that treaty had been concluded and
only awaited ratification by the Senate be-
tween the United States and Ecuador. by
which this country was to acquire one OF
the Galapagos Islands as q navel coaling
station, proves TO be entirely without other
foundation than the heated imagi-
nation Of our minister to Ecuador.
Mr. Mahaney of Buffalo, n. Y.
Dir. Mahaney, in letters to friends
in this city, described the aforesaid treaty
in the minutesu detail. and stated TINT he
had forwarded the treaty to the state de-
partment These letters were made public
by Mr.. Mahaney's friends. High officials Of

that DO treaty for the acquisition Of terri
tory for coaling station has been negoti-

HOME RULE FOR ERIN.
SALISBURY AT THE MEETING or
TIE PRIMROSE LEAGUE.

The Ex-Promier Hopes the Liberals
win Not Desist In Their Attempt to
Enact impossible" Legislation aud
Keep Parliament in Session Instead
of DissolvinG 1t.
LONDON, April 19.-The annual gather
ing of the conservative organization known
as the Primrose League was held to- day in
the Covent Garden theater. The theater
was crowded with members OF the league
from all parts Of the country. Lord Sails
bury delivered an address In which he dealt
with the Irish home rule bill. lie said he
hoped that If the House Of Lords
should reject the bill for the sep
arstion of Ireland from Great Britain
the government would, as it threatened ,
not dissolve parliament, but again intro
duoe the bill. He would be only too glad,
he added, If the goYernmens would con-
tinue their futile attempts at impossible
legislation until the unionists would be able
to impress the truths OF the question upon
the electors.
Lord Salisbury proceeded to discuss the
financial proposals of the Irish home rule
bill. He said those financial proposals
would almost bankrupt Ireland and heavily
burden Great Britain. But, be continued,
the atrocious feature of the scheme
was that the Irish members would be
in the House OF Commons OF the imperial
parliament without the least responsibility.
They would sell their freedom for the ad-
vantage Of Ireland by forcing the govern
ment to give them what they wanted. The
bill now before tho House Of Commons
would not get rid Of the Irish question,
since England would be compelled TO COM
ply with the Irish demands. "The House
OF Lords, exclaimed Lord Salisbury, must
not lie turned away from its duty by any
discussions concerning its constitution, but
must rescue the empire from its assailant." !"

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The President
has disapproved the findings of the examin-
Ing board In the case OF Pay Inspector John
H. Stevenson, United States navy. The
board reported in favor of Inspector Steven
sons promotion. but the report was referred
to President Harrison with a recommenda-
tiou Of Secretary Tracy that il be not ap-
proved ON the alleged ground that the officer
wes morally unfit for promotion. The i'm
portance of the case arises from tae fact
that Inspector Stevenson is at the head Of
his grade and that promotions all
along the line were blocked by the failure
to act in the matter. The case reached
President Harrison ia the last days of bis
administration and he did not have time 10
consider 1t, and its disposition was left TO
President Cleveland. He acted upon il
yesterday and the papers were returned to
the navy department bearing his approval
OF Secretary Tracy's recommendation
against the otiicer's promotion. This action
continues the block to T'-onotson of other
officers in the pay pa Further action il
the case will rest with Secretary Herbert
and the impression is that Inspector Steven.
