Th's order was issued at the request of trie state department, where it was stated that the reque had been made because the department ul been convinced by representations made by Americans having interests in Ecuador that it would be wise to do so.
No further statement as to the nature of the trouble that has arisen in Ecuador could .be gathered at the state department, but from other sources it is learned tkn-t a revolution is believed to be impending in .that country as the outcome of the bitter popular dissatisfaction engendered by rhe use of the Eucadoran ilag to cove.- rlie transfer to Japan of the Chilian cjuiiser Esmeralda last winner, Sonic American corporations have Jirrge imprests in silver mines and other properties in mdor and it was upon their represents ,11s that the state department acted, although it has 110 as-suranc-es that a JC--volution has actually broken out.

THE BABY WOULDN'T CRY.
How Edison Finally Scoured a Record of llis -Firstborn's Woe.
Hero is a story they tell over the teacups in Orange, N. J., where Edison lives:
The phonograph came to the Edison laboratory aud tho first baby to tho Edison home about tho same time, and when tho baby was old enough to say "Goo-goo" and pull the great inventor's hair in a most disrespectful manner, the phonograph was near enough perfection to capture the baby talk for preservation among the family archives. So Mr. Edison filled up several rolls with these pretty inarticulations aud laid them carefully away.
But this was not sufficient. The most picturesquothing about the baby's utterances was its crying, and the record of this its fond father determined to secure. How it would entertain him in his old age, he thought, to start the phonograph a-going and hear again the baby wails of his firstborn.
So one afternoon Mr. Edison tore himself from his work and climbed the big hill leading to his house. Ho went in a great hurry, for he is a man who grudges every working moment from his labor. A workman followed at his heels carrying tho only phonograph that at that time had been sufficiently completed to accomplish really good results.
Reaching homo and the nursery Mr. Edison started tho phonograph and brought the baby in front of it. But the baby didn't cry. Mr. Edison tumbled tho youngster about and rumpled its hair and did all sorts of thing's, but still tho baby didn't cry. Then ho made dreadful faces, but- tho baby thought they were very funny and crowed joyously. So back to the laboratory went Mr. Edison in a very unpleasant frame of mind, for tho baby's untimely good humor had cost him an hour of work. Tho phonograph was also takon back.
But he did not givo it up. The next afternoon ho went home again, and the phonograph with him. But if the baby was good natured the day before this time it was absolutely cherubic. There was nothing at all that its father could do that did not make the baby laugh. Even the phonograph itself, with its tiny, whirring wheels, the baby thought was meant for its special entertainment and gurgled joyously. So back to work the inventor wont again, with a temper positively ruffled. The next day and the next ho tried it, but all to no purpose. Tho baby would not cry, oven when waked suddenly from sleep.
But to battle Edison is only to inflamo his determination, which, by the way, is ono of the secrets of his success. So at length after much thought he made a mighty resolve. It took a vast amount of determination on his part to screw himself up to tho point of committing tho awful deed, but he succeeded at last, and ono morning, when lie knew his wife was down town, ho went quietly homo with the phonograph and stole into the nursery, where tho baby greeted him with customary glee.
Starting tho machine, Mr. Edison ordered the nurse to leave the room. Then ho took the baby on his knee and bared its chubby little leg. lie took the tender/ flesh between his thumb and finger, clinched his teeth, shut his eyes tight and made ready to—yes—actually to,^ pinch the baby's leg.
But just at the fatil'ul moment tho nurso stepped through tho door, and%H perceiving tho horrid plot liounced in and rescued the baby in tho nick ofe§| time.
Mr. Edis.in breathed a mighty sigh of relief as lie gathered up t-lio phonograph and went back to the laboratory. Ho then gave up the project .of phunographing tho baby's crying.
But not long afterward ho accomplished liis purpose, after all, and quito unexpectedly too. As soon as the baby was old enough to "take notice," itdoting mother took it down to tho laboratory ono sunny day, and when tho big machinery was started a-roaring the baby screwed up its faco, opened its mouth and emitted a series of woeful screams that linuto Mr. Edison leap to his feet. "Stop tho machinery aud start tho ,. phonograph lie shouted,and tho record of his baby's ciwing Avas tnou and there accomplished.—New- York llerqld.
