BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1906-06-28

The decree convoking an extra
session of the Legislative Assembly
will probably be issued today.
The two branches of the Legisla-
ture will meet, and it is well to note
that the government has modified its
attitude touching the matter of the
docks. and is disposed to adopt a
conservative course which inspires
confidence.
The idea of monopoly has been
abandoned.
The government will ask the Le-
gislature for an appropriation for the
purpose of building another dock.
This changes the aspect of things
and relieves the official project, which
from it's inception has been severely
criticised, from the hostile appear
ance which left the government open
to the charge of inconsiderately and
aggressively seizing enterprises be-
longing to private interests.
The government, in the present
instance, has wisely seen in time the
danger of the unpopularity into
which it was about to precipitate it
self and has needed the energetic
voice of public opinion which noted
and indicated the dangers lurking in
the original project.
The plan is now totally different,
No monopolization threatens, it is
sought to form no trusts; on the con-
trary, it is proposed to construct a
new dock which will afford additional
facilities and Accommodations to com
merce and shipping interests; this,
at least, is the contemplated program.
The country will hail with rejoic-
ing the notice that it is not the int
ention of the authorities to commit
the unwarranted act of despoiliation,
which would have marked the inaug-
uration of period of alarming offic-
ial anarchy.
Current rumor has it that the 90
vernmenr has wisely changed its po-
Icy, and the truth of this is in mea-
sure proved by the fact that to the
last conference Of the Governor, the
native members Of the Executive
Council were summoned.
From that me eting has resulted a

modification OF the first official pro-
iect touching the matter of the dock:
change of sentiment which, to the
impartial critic, presents very faEO-
ra bic aspect.
The government will ask for he
necessary appropriation for the cons
truction of a dock, and the occasion
of the Legislature being IN session
will be improved to bring in a de6c-
iency bill which is necessary In order
to cover the deficit IN the budget of
the department of Insular Police,
and to consider other important
questions.
The Intervention of the govern
ment in the matter in question, mo-
difying the original primitive project
and regarding the views of public
opinon-eXpressed with franknesS
and energy-far from sustaining the
first and judicious fears entertained,
and which were born of the instincti-
We dislike of our people for every
thing that looks like monopoly, has
produced feeling of confidence
which We make no attempt to con-
ceal, for we are free from all preju-
dice and bias.
The signs are ereassuring, the indi-
cations point TO favorable reaction
in the sick organism Of our body po-
litic and, perhaps, to the beginning
of change of policy advantageous
for the whole Island.
The present is an auspicious occa-
sion for the Insular powers to adopt
a policy which will put them in tou-
ch with the country; they have star
ted along a safe road. By following
it, they will effect an indispensable
alliance, secure the necessary harmo-
ny and reciprocal confidence bet
ween the government and the people.
The fist steps have been taken
on firm ground.
Now it will be more difficult 10 20
back. Would to Heaven that the go
vernment would in all things follow
along the safe road it has just Start
ed on, SO that instead of praising IN
itial steps, we could celebrate and
pay tribute to complete, lasting
and definite triumph.

MISS PECK TO SCALE ANDES.
Confident This Time That She Will
Reach the Summit OF Huascaran.

New York.-To make one other
attempt at climbing Mount Huas-
caran, one of the highest of the
Andean peaks, Miss Annie S.
Peck, whose ambition leads her to
do the scaling of mountains, sailed
yesterday for the scene of the
forthcoming endeavor taking pas
sage for the Isthmus OF Panama by
the Colon.
From Panama, Miss Peck
said, I will go to Chimbote on the
Peruvian coast. and thence by
muleback to the foot of the noun
tain, where I will begin the ascent
on foot.
I tried the ascent two years
ago, but had to turn back because
of a crevasse and because my
guides refused to accompany me
further. This time l intend to
engage Indian boys, and they are
as loyal and as daring as the best
of the Swiss guides. They ara
rugged, too, and do not know what
fear means. In my last mountain
climbing I was accompanied by a
scientist and au Austrian. The
one fell i'll and the other became
scared. Had I been alone or had
1 been accompanied by my Indian
boys. 1 am sure that I would
have reached the summit.
I am sure of myself, so far as
illness goes, Miss Peck continued.
l am immune against mountain
illness, as it is called, and Of ac-
celeration of the heart action in
high attitudes, so that dizziness
or hemorrhages will not turn me
back"
Miss Peck has climbed many
moutains, among others the Mat
terhorn. the Gross Glockner and
the Wellen Kuppe.
The suspicious man keeps one
eye on his neighbor, but the wise
man keeps both eyes on himself.
