PROSPEROUS PORTO RICO.
Governor Hunts Message to the Legislature
Necessity for Change IN Laws.

San Juan, Porto Rico, Jan. 4.Goy-
ernor Hunts message to the legisia-
ture OF Porto Rico was delivered at
Ii o'clock this morning before joint
session of that body held in the Thea
ter San Juan. The building was crowd
ed. The message says:
Tranquility and contentment pre-
vail in Porto Rico; schools have multi
piled; railroads are being constructed;
the commerce of the island has been
developed and exports have increased,
agriculture has become more profit
able, roads are being built and debts
are being paid. Tolerance of opin-
ion has become more common, former
antagonism being forgotten"
Governor Hunts report said further
that SS5 schools are open throughout
the island. 934 teachers are employed
in them, and $4,000 children attend
them. The insular revenues have in.
creased the available balance by $685.
900 over the balance of July, 1901,
and the total balance today, including
tariff rebates, ETC., amounts to ST.
100000. Governor Hunt recommends

the Governor referred to the ambigu,

remedy therefor is in the hands Of
the legislature.
There is no room for lawlessness
in Porto Rico," said Governor Hunt,
but it is perfectly lawful to organize
to secure better wages by peaceable
measures. The ambition to better

SAME OLD DowAoEa EMPRESS.
She Has Not prOatsd BY Her Experiences Of
the Past Yea.

Pekin, Jan. 4.-SeYeral recent oc-
currences tend to discourage the hope
that the dowager empress has learned
lesson OF reform from the events OF
the past year. Foreigners are dis.
posed to take a pessimistic view OF
the outlook. General Yung LUIS deter
mination TO organize two anti-foreign
army corps to Offset the commands
OF pro-foreign Chinese leaders is par.
ticularly disquieting, and an evidence
OF the continued domination OF his in
iiuence. which fs bitterly anti-foreIgn.
Other incidents considered significant
are the suppression Of the only inde-
pendent newspaper in this city by on.
der Of the governor of Pekin. and the
closing Of the Industrial school here
recently organized by philanthropic
Chinese. The school was intended for
the training Of destitute youths. Other
liberal Chinese will hesitate now to
give practical vent to their theories,
fearing the displeasure Of officialdom.
The edict regarding the recent muir
der OF Belgian priest near Ming Sha
Foo. in Kan 500 province, has ap-
peared. 1t appoints special official
20 punish those guilty of the crime
and reaffirms the dowager empress
good viii toward Christians. There is
unusual activity upon the part of the
court In the punishment OF those
guilty OF an anti-Christian outrage,
and is taken as evidence Of the dow
ager empress desire to conciliate the
powers upon the eve OF the return OF
the court to Pekin.
Proofs accumulate that Prince
Ching's arguments persuaded the dow
ager empress to trust herself within
range of the legation forts. Officials
arriving here describe the dowager
empress and General Yung Lu as be-
ing extremely nervous and suspicious
lest the foreigners are planning to
entrap them after their arrival, and
punish them for encouraging Boxer
ism. The foreigners will probably re-
view the courts re-entry into Pekin
from the wall near the legations. The
Chinese officials have been sounded
by the ministers as to whether they
will enforce the old custom Of restrain
ing foreigners from witnessing inn
perial professions. The replies are
not encouraging. The treaty gives the
legations a strip of wall commanding
view of the gates of the imperial
city, and the members Of the foreign
community are planning to assemble
thereon. 1t will be a great innova-
ton.
