inc consent of a large body of the peo- pie.
 All the members of the insular com mission in Washington entertain hopeful views of the future of Porto Rico and her citizens. They speak Gn glowing terms of the resources of the island and the opportunities for com merciaI development The people are anxious to work, it is said, and as they obtain money they do not hoard it. but spend freely to better their material surroundings. They will buy clothing. will improve their houses. will supplant the old wooden plough with modern agricultural i'm plements and make Porto Rico good market for United States products.
 Our trouble now is a lack of regu- lar communication between the island and this country. The natives cannot have regular days for shipping their fruits, but have to depend upon chance calls from steamers. This inconven- fence results in losses, frequently con- signments of bananas and oranges be- ing left to decay on the wharves. All this will be remedied as soon as the incongruous status of trade conditions is settled and Porto Rico is given place on the statute books.
 The insuIar commission is conf dent that if the Porto Ricans will con- tent themselves in patience, all the difficulties will be worked out satis- factorily. Roads are being built in the island, nine or ten thousand men al ready at work and receiving regular wages. By the time the trade regula- tions are established by act of con gress, and Porto Rico given her legal status, the interior of the island will be placed in communication with the sea ports and the avenues of trade opened.
