ELECTRICITY IN ECUADOR.

The following extracts are from a.
letter by Consul General De Leon,
dated Guayaquil, June II, 1899, to a
New York firm, to which the original
has been forwarded:
There is no electric power used in
Guayaquil and no demand for electrical
supplies. | believe, however, that.
there is an excellent opening for an
electric light and street railway SER
vice. This is a prosperous city Of
about $4,000 inhabitants, and with the
construction of the proposed railway
to Quito is bound to increase in popu-
lation and wealth. It is at present
lighted by gas of poor quality, which
costs the municipality a considerable
sum annually. A street car system
traverses almost every street; but
mules, the motive power, are costly.
The finances of the municipality are
in fiourishing condition. The stock
of the car company was at so in 1896;
there is now large cash reserve, equal
to so per cent. of capitalization; Is per
cent. annual dividends are declared,
and the stock brings today $3.50 per
share. Fuel is scarce and expensive,
but superb water power is available at
some distance from the city. In 1895,
the installation of an electric light SER
vice was in progress; but the great fire,
which burned SO blocks of the best part
of the city, destroyed the work and
caused the enterprise to be abandoned.

in that direction, for, although coun-
terfeiters will take the risk of manu-
featuring this paper they can make
only very small quantities at times
and the paper manufacturers will have
nothing to do with it, as having such
paper in ones possession, even though
perfectly plain, renders the possessor
liable to a sentence of 10 years in the

On the face of the new So note will
appear a portrait yet to be chosen,
1anked on either side by an allegorical
figure. To the right of the present de-
sign appears figure of a man nude but
for the cloth about his loins, reclining
and apparently engaged in reading
scroll. To the left is the figure of an
other man, also reclining in an easy
sitting posture, with his right hand at
his left side, as though in the act of
drawing a knife or sword. This
picture is peculiar, in that the figure
intended, it is believed, to represent an
old frontiersman, shows a man naked
to the waist and his legs clothed in
deerskin trousers, fringed to the knee
and bound with thongs from the knee
to the foot. On his head is coonskin
cap, and his bearded face needs only a
pipe to make it fine picture of the old
frontiersman. The incongruity lies in
the fact that the old frontiersman is
wearing a pair of Roman sandals. This
part of the design will probably be
altered. The figures are supposed to
typify the warrior and the student
Under the picture will be printed the
