LOYAL TO UNCLE SAM.
Native Porto Ricans Regard Their
new Country with Much
Pleasure.

Many of the natives of Porto Rico are
kindly disposed toward the United
States and hailed the advent of its au-
thority with great joy. So did the
business element. the latter feeling that
certainly within year after the oc-
cupancy of the islands by the United
States the commercial situation would
have been changed for the better, but
now that they see no prospect OF any
thing being done they are blue and de-
pressed. The island has nearly always
had n balance of trade in its favor.
II seems particularly hard, in view
OF this, that with the advent of the
government of the United States there
should have been created n large class
of men fed by the government us the
result of the general curtailing of the
facilities of the island. The native
Porto Ricans of standing feel this very
acutely. One of them said to me 1--WE
are not paupers. We have an island
which so far has produced more than
we have bought, as n rule, and we felt
that when the United States assumed
control of the islands, largely through
our efforts and earnest cooperation, the
island would thrive way beyond what
it had ever done in its history.
THE contrary has happened, and it
is very humilating to me to feel that
the men of the island, poor and igno-
rant though they are, who are willing
to work for their days wages, should
be forced to work as a matter of chart
ty out of their usual labors and be fed
for charity's sake by the government.

/ ly, they have an object lesson Which

This expression of sentiment may be
taken as sample of what heard in
many parts of the island. from men
who are not politicians, who desire
nothing for themselves, but who love
/ the island on which they were born,
who admire the government of the

The tendency to relapse into barbar-
ism is well illustrated in the island of
Hayti. Before the government of the
island was turned over to the native
blacks and during the time when the
French directed affairs there, fine
road wide enough to permit the dry
ing OF four-in-hand over II, was built
across the island from the north 10
the south end, but at present there is
not a trace Of the thoroughfare; in fact
IL has been so overgrown with veg

cannot be found. The march OF civ
ilization marked by the improvement
the road afforded was halted just as
soon as the natives were given back the
control of the islands affairs.-N, Y

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, June 26.-The opening OF
the stock market this morning showed
a jump in prices and something like
a rush to buy, which spread rapidly
through the whole railroad list. In due
course of time number of industrials
also took on some show of strength.
When this development became obvious
the railroads paused in their advance
as though to shake off the following
of Industrial stocks. Acute weakness
in the local traction stocks, Steel and
Wire and the Tobacco stocks first
checked the advance. The railroads
held firm for time but before the
day was over bullish enthusiasm had
somewhat expended itself and the clos
ing dealings showed a rather easy tone
with the prices of the railroads sharply

Vanderbilts was by far the most con
spicuous of the day and was of course
based on the reported lease of the Bos-
ton and Albany by the New York Cen
trail for term of 80 years.
The qualifications of the Vanderbilt
properties are so vast and the possiblll-
ties of consolidation so important that a
movement in these stocks is always Ger
tain to have a stimulating effect on the
whole railroad list, and for the same
reason the Vanderbilt group is very
likely to be picked out for manipulation
by operators for a rise. AS the floating
supply of these stocks is not large such
manipulation is not so difficult as il
might seem. New York Central was al
one time today up 3 points, but it lost
| point on the failure of official con-
firmation or even admission of the cor

Chicago and Northwestern, Omaha
