him a favorlte both in official and bust

Management the business Of the
Wadsworth office has steadily in
creased until it is one of the most i'm

Crossing out Of the Stop and through
the round house again one comes to
the car shop. Here % men are en-
ployed with Robert Arthur as foreman.
The work done in this shop is the re-
pairing Of all the cars, cabooses and
so on that become broken up in the
train service.
The shop repairs on IN average 800
cars a month. The men employed
here are largely carpenters and pant
tiers, and must be throughly efficient
workmen and ably directed. The rea-
son lies in the fact that most Of the
work done here is on cars belonging TO
other lines. If the work is not cor
rectly done the bill Of this Company
for repairs is not allowed but, what is
in fact, an additional fine is imposed,
1t is needless to add that the interest
Of the Company and of the public as
we'll are fully protected by Foreman

All pertaining to the mechanical de-
partment are under the direction of
Mr.. L. S. Pratt. Mr.. Pratt himself is
a genial gentleman, and as the head Of
his department stands very high. He
has splendid mechanical ideas and has
had a wide range Of experience. His
ideas of the amount and character of
work expected Of a mar are such that
he enjoys the respect and confidence
Of his subordinates. Under his man
agement the "shops'' should become
greater and greater factors in Jul pros
perity and growth.
In addition to this a large amount
Of office work is transacted on this side
Of the track. The company maintains
here a store that would put most hard
ware stores to shame. Exact accounts
Of all materials used are kept and deb
tied to its proper departments. This

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-On the steam
ship San Juan. which sailed today for
Porto Rico, there went Enrique Gonzales,
native of the island, who has been
pleading its cause with the authorities at
Washington. Lucas Allardes and ten 9TH
er Porto Ricans remain at Washington.
The delegation was elected by 1000 farm
ers. who met at San Juan to ask aid OF
this Government.
Mr.. Gonzales was seen before sailing,
in his apartments at the Cambridge, Fifth
Avenue and Thirty-third Street. He said
that the greatest need of Porto Rico was
a government, and he thought a terrific
rial form of government best adapted to
the present needs of the island. The
present military rule. MIR. Gonzales en-
phatically declared, was failure. The
island, in addition to a suitable form of
civil rule, asks for a loan of 81 000, 900
from this Government
Until we have a permanent govern
ment," said Mr.. Gonzales. there can be
no security and no stability. Our lack of
government is today stumbling block to
confidence. 1t scares capital. Ii is la
mentable that under the free institutions
of the American Government we do not
fare as well as under Spain's rule"
Mr.. Gonzales spoke OF the present con-
ditiOns OF the island. railroad fran
chise had been granted by Spain to a
French company 10 build line around
the island. but the corporation failing to
keep its agreement only detached por
tions OF the railroad had been built Aft
er Spain granted autonomy 10 Porto Rico
preparations were made TO build an eX
tensive railway system, but the outbreak
OF war between Spain and the United
States stopped the work. The island to-
day possesses an excellent system oil
highways.
The condition OF Porto Rico" continued
Mr. Gonzales is not simply grave. 1t is
desperate Agriculture. the chief source
of wealth on the island. is ruined. Ninety
per cent of the coffee estates are almost alb
solutely destroyed Coffee represents 50
per cent of the wealth Of our island In
the tropical climate of Porto Rico. ii the
coffee plantations are neglected. they viii
soon be covered by thick growth of trees
and heavy vines. To clear the plantations
would entail large expenditure OF money
The cyclone on August last had completed
the devastation of war. The lack OF con-
ton and the lack of capital have
brought utter ruin. Sugar plantations
have suffered About 30 per cent of the
sugar crop Is being harvested. The whole
agricultural situation is indescribably bad.
with permanent and stable govern
ment Porto Rico would again invite for
eign capital. IL would be possible for her
to negotiate a loan. The island a commu
nifty OF l,oo0,tc6 people, is not ] cent in
debt Is that not an unusual record? The
Dingley tariff proposed for our exports TO
the United states is wrong There should
not be a farthing of tariff. Ii is unconsti-
tutiOnal and wrong.
