One of the most noticeable character
istics of the native Porto Rican is his
fondness for music. 1t is, however,
be quite impossible to believe that the
average native who earns probably one
dollar day, would spend half of that
sum night after night for the purpose
Of listening to operate music, were it
not for the fact that the gallery at
the Theatre has been GRO ded
by just this class of citizens. AL
though at times noisy in their outbur its
they understand a good rendition and
heir applause is as earnestly wanted
by the singers as that of the people IN
the boxes and chairs. The assertion
that "the average Porto kican would
go without meal to hear a good song
seems to be borne out by the filed gal
leries.

The Steamship
Combination.

When ]. P. Morgan & Co. last au-
tumn boaght control Cf the Leyland
and Atlantic Transport lines the trans
action was generally regarded as the
entering wedge of American capital
into the ocean steamship industry.
Many articles were written in news
pa oers and other periodicals at home
and abroad, the burden of which was
that this purchase was the beginning
of movement which would not end
until the supremacy of the mercantile
marine rested in American hands Very
fe y of these writer's expected, however,
any more than the general public,
a speedy realization of this prophecy.
Yet frem the details of the new Allan
tic line combination, given out on Fri
day and Saturday of last week, it would
appear that control of by far the larger
part of the carrying trade between Eu-
rope and America, with incidental
branches to other parts of the world,
has been secured by company organ
lied in the Union and dominated oy
American firanciers More specifically
a "holding company" is to be formed
which will take over the majority stock
in all the ira iSatlantic companies except
the Cunard and the German lines. In
this central company the principal hold-
in2s will be American.
There is to rea son why this eh.er-
prise, with such unexpectedly rapid
progress at the very outset, should not
ex.end great ways further. Commu-
nity>of ownership and consolidation are
just making their appearance in ocean
transportation trade and is but natural
development rather long delayed. The
tremendously significant facts are, how,
ever, that the great work has ben left
for American hnanciers to do, and that
American capital, which up to now has
had next to no re representation in the in
dustry, will now rival the English and
German share. What this means ar
tlcular1y is that rates for carrying ser
vice will be made to give the largest
degree of cooperation possibly TO the
expansion of American exports. It will
not be possible as in the case of two
years ago for shipments of our mer-
chandiSe to be retarded because of ex-
horbitant carrying charges, because in
all probability there viii be a close
community of interest between the
Steamship combination and the heads
of the iron, coal and railroad industries
of this country.
Ihs otLer and probably the secold
most important aspect OF the new
steamship organization is It's bearing
upon the proposed subsidy Legislation.
Practically all of he v-ssels belonging
to the allied companies are orclgn-
built and consequently are not entitled
to the oounties provided in the bill nos
before congress. There may be no CO
incidence bet &een the shelving Of this
subsidy measure ard he laiei- achieve

this they have accepted the plea of the
friends of the subsidy plan, that it costs
much more to build and ma vessels
here than abroad; and have used this
very argument as a reason by it IS
better economy to let the foreigners
build and run the ship, and then for
American capital to purchase control.
In other words, despite the hints of
Mr.. Cramp and other American build
ers that the new scheme is unpatriotic,
it looks very much as though the new
ship combination had weakened the
case of the subsidy advocates.
