THB TREATY WITH ECUADOR
II las No Existence Except In q Con.
surs Imagination.
THE IDEAL CITY OF LOS GALAPAGOS
Hr. nahinsy Had Great Dreams Of the
Future, and Evan Succeeded In
Pooling the Senator's.

WASHINGTON, April 20.-A Washing
ton dispatch to the Philadelphia Ledger
says: There is, unfortunately, little rea.
son to doubt that the supposed treaty be-
tween the government of Ecuador and
the United States, by which our govern
ment WAS to acquire one OF the CALI
pages islands midway between Hawaii
and Peru for coaling station, has no ex-
istence except in the imagination Of our
minister at Quito, Mahaney, OF Buffalo,
N. Y. The hard cold logic of the fscts
seems to point in that direction. AL
most 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 as about equally made
of beautiful black eyes, flashing daggers,
earthquakes and revolutions. A semi
diplomatic disavowal had TO be made of
that highly drawn picture. Mahaney,
still retaining his title and salary as
minister, next figured as an unsuccessful
candidate for congress in his home dis.
trict in the United States. He was Or
dered back to his post Of duty, but upon
one excuse or another permitted three or
four bi-monthly steamers for Ecuador to
sail without him, even after he received
peremptory orders to return. Eventually
and quite recently he found his way
back, and addressed to this city letters
going into minute details as to the treaty
which he was negotiating for the acquisi-
ton Of one OF the Galapagos islands for a
coaling station. He described the means
he brought to bear, and at last, it is said,
cabled the treaty had been mailed.
From this source arose the statement
that such treaty had been concluded and
sent into the senate for ratification.
Strange to say, one or two senators being
discreetly questioned on the subject, one
of them, q member of the committee on
foreign affairs, appeared to rest under
the belief until today that such treaty
had been sent in. One of them ex-
planned today there was something or
other sent in, and he thought it might
have been this treaty. Getting down to
the hard facts it is ascertained the only
instrument received from Ecuador is an
unimportant convention relating to
claims between citizens OF the two coun-
tries. Galapagos City, with all its allur-
ing advantages, there is too much reason
to believe, is merely the dream of Rowland
B. Mahaney. High officials of the state
department confirm the statement that
no treaty for acquisition of territory for a
coaling station has been negotiated with
Ecuador, and add that Mahaney's cor.
respondence with the state department,
though voluminous, does not even men
ton he was engaged in an attempt to
negotiate such treaty.

PARIS, April Yesterdays sitting
OF the Behring sea court of arbitration
James G. Carter, counsel for the United
States, continued his speech in support
of the American contention. He re-
capitulated the arguments advanced last
week, and then proceeded to show that
the jurisdiction of the United States had
always been based upon property in
terests, not sovereign dominion over the
sea. Garter quoted from the opinions OF
English juriste regarding the ukase
issued by Russia in 1877. America and
Great Britain had jointly protested
against this ukase, but Great Britain had
withdrawn her protest because Of the
Monroe doctrine.
