The Central American Line.
The Central American party is composed
entirely Of naval officers and is working its
way through Guatemala One of the lines
laid out runs through the richest coffee belt
of Guatemala. The country is practically
undeveloped though it has gold and silver,
coal and iron and the finest kinds of timber.
Any one of these three lines will, the
officers say, pay through the local traffic
and the natural resources of the country,
and the roads can be built without great
trouble. From Guatemala this party will
push its way down into Honduras, and this
land is said to be the richest Of all the
American Republics in its mineral wealth.
The road will open up mineral country
which is now to a large extent in
accessible. In Salvador there are also
mines of gold and silver, and gold is
also found further south in Costa Rica

continental Railroad will in fact open UP

AN EXPERIMENT FOE P1TTsBuRa.
Testing the City on Two Weeks Stands 70,
Theatrical Attractions.

Testing the City on Two Weeks Stands for
theatrical Attractions.
The announcement that Pittsburg Is to
experiment with itself as to whether it is
able to support strong theatrical attrac-
t1on for longer season than one week, e1-
, cites broadcast interest in amusement cir
cles throughout the United States. Mana
ger David Henderson makes the statement
that he will bring his spectacular produc-
tion, "Sinbad," to the Duquesne Theater,
beginning Monday week and continuing 70
nights. 1t has been some years since an at
tempt of this kind has been made in this
city. He was encouraged to make the ven
ture by the remarkable success the play met
with in Pittsburg few weeks ago. To
make this trial contracts were Cancelled in
other cities and the sum of 81, 800 was paid
an attraction that held contract for next
week at the theater in order to obtain a re-
lease.
If the venture succeeds it will have the
effect of evolutionizing theatricals in this
city to very great extent. The expense
incurred in railway transportation will be
saved. This is an item of no small import
ance for a large attraction. When it is
demonstrated that Pittsburg can support
something OF standard merit for two weeks,
local managers will be enabled to obtain
better terms in making their contracts. and
some of the money now paid to railway
companies will be invested in perfecting
the details and making complete the mount
ings for Pittsburg engagements Where q
play is to be given for IL nights or more
greater care can be given to all that per-
tains toward making 1t perfect, and it will
assume all the features of metropolitan
production. PIttsburg has population for
its amusement houses with all tributary
sources Of at least half million people,
and Mr.. Henderson argues that as cities |
of lesser population support standard |
attractions for an extended season |
he can see no reason why this city can not |
do so. The railway companies centering in |
Pittsburg have taken an interest in this eff
fort, and are arranging to run special trains |
from points within 100 miles along their |
routes, offering low rates. Boston has |
adopted this idea with great success, and |
"theater trains," as they are called, con-
tribute greater share of the accommoda-
tion travel, the railway trains being crowded !
nightly. Mr.. Henderson says that if these |
two weeks are as successful as he antici- |
pates. he will bring his next spectacular |
production to Pittsburg for three weeks |
Theatrical managers will watch the engage
ment with the keenest interest

on the ship and thus tiding it away from the
rocks and saving the lives of several hundred
mel. The Secretary of the commission is
Hector DeCastro, who was engaged with
John Mackay in making the Commercial
Cable Company success and who has also
been engaged with Mr.. Mackay in his rail-
road enterprises.
The Work in Good Hands.
The engineers selected BY such men were,
of course, the very best in the country.
William z. Skunk, the head of the South
American party, built the Pennsylvania
Railroad across the Alleghenies, and j.
lmbrie Miller, the chief of the second South
American party, is known everywhere in
She United States The Central American
engineers are picked men from the United
States navy, and there is not man con-
nected with any of the parties who is not q
specialist in his line and hard, earnest
practical worker.
The line when completed will give a con-
tinuous railroad journey from any city in
the United States to almost any point of
prominence in South America, and the idea
is that the Trunk Line will run from Mexico
City to the northern terminus of the Argen-
tine railroad system, or distance of more
than 5000 miles. When it is completed,
one will be able to take continuous rail-
Io@u journey JTom new 1Ork TO buenOS
Ayres, a distance of, in round numbers,
something like 10000 miles, and the road
will be one of the most wonderful in the
world. The general elevation will be from
a mile to "a mile and a half above the sea,
and at some points it will be one of the
highest railroads in the world.
To Open Up All South America
OF the 1900 miles from the southern ter
minus of the Mexican system to the north
ern terminus of the Argentine railways
only go miles Of the road are ALREADY con-
structed, but private lines which can be
used in the system are under construction
and surveyed to the extent of 800 miles,
and built From this main line, the idea is

there will be other branch lines SO that the

now moving with his surveying party, is
5000 feet above the sea. Colombia has some
Of the finest mines in South America, and
these will be opened up by this railroad
Since the Sixteenth Century it is estimated
that S625, ,000,0 900 worth of gold has been
taken out of Colombia, and it has vast areas
Of fine coffee lands.
The South American line which will run
from the Isthmus of Panama down through
Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and
Chile to the Argentine system runs mainly
on the plateau of the Andes Mountains
The Andes are during part of the distance
plateaus between them, and it is between
the two Western ranges that road is
now being surveyed. The two parties of
civil engineers who started out April 10,
1891, from New York sailed first for PAN
anna and then went on to Quito in Ecuador.
From here one party under William T.
Skunk went northward through the country
into Colombia and on toward the Isthmus
of Panama, while the other under j. Imbrie
Miller went southwark toward Peru and
Chile.
Effect of the Rarified Air.
Both parties were radically affected by
the high altitude and by the hardships of
camp life and j. Imbrie Miller, the head of
the second party, was so afflicted with dys-
entery that he had to be carried on litter
to the sea coast and was sent back home
His party is now under the command of
w. d. Kelley, Jr., and it is doing excellent
work. 1t reports that there are no en-
gineering difficulties except high viaducts
over the many deep ravines along the
mountain slopes and it gives the attitudes
at the various points along the lines and
the sizes of the towns. In 247 miles of road
they found % towns ranging in size from
5000 to $4,000 population, and these towns
were at attitudes ranging from 1900 to 12,-
600 feet above the sea. The road will run
up and down from {, 900 to II, 900 feet above
the sea and the character of the country
seems to be such that it would be locally
profitable.
The letters of Mt. Miller concerning his
camp and camp life are interesting. Atone
place he says it takes IS mules to move his

whole OF the vast resources of the South
American Continent will be opened up. At
the rate so far made the engineers can sur.
vey 1000 miles year, and the road will be
surveyed in year and half
The building of this railroad and the
making of the survey seems SO far to be per
fectiy practicable. The road which the
commission has to outline and build is not
as long as the distance from New York to
San Francisco, and the reports of the en-
gineers show that the difficulties of con-
Etruction in the Andes can be easily over
come. Already South America, Mexico
and Central America have done much in the
construction of railways
The Progress in Argentine.
The road Mexico is building southwark
from Mexico City toward Guatemala and
which will form part of the Interconti-
mental Railway will be one of the best
built in the world, and its ties, as well as
its rails, are made of steel This road has
already been completed to the city of
Oa1aca, and it is being pushed rapidly on
to Tehauntepec, from whence O line will
90 to Ayutla, in Guatemala, where the In
tereontinental Railway survey will begin.
The Argentine Republic at the other ter
minus of the Intercontinental Railway,
though in bad financial straits at present,
has a system of fine railroads. and these
are, it is said, paying we'll In addition to
these lines there are nearly 5000 miles of
road under construction, and this great
country, which is almost one-third as big as
the United States, and which has the richest
Of lauds and resources, will be tapped by
this line.

tions made up of different peoples and own
ing the best part of great hemisphere
peacefully combining together to build q
line of railroad which shall carry their peo-
pie and their products from one country to
another. The representatives. of these peo-
pie meet together and decide that they will
donate strip of land to such a railroad
which shall for all time, remain neutral
ground.
They agree that the railroad when built
shall never be taxed and they put their
hands right down into their pockets and
pull out the money to be used in laying out
the line. They agree that each shall pay
fixed proportion of the whole according to
its population, and each OF the II nations
agrees to give 81 for every Thousand
people it has, towards making the survey
They appoint commissioners to take charge
Of the work and they select three of the
biggest, and most practical of the million
aires of the United States for this purpose
Three Railroad Xfasnate Managers.
The head of these is A. J. Cassatt, who
started life in the Pennsylvania Railroad
car shops, who has been Vice President of
the Pennsylvania Railway Company, and
who, dealing with railroads all his life, is
now in his prime, a number of times a
millionaire. Another of the Commissioners
Is ex-senator Henry G. Davis, who worked
on the railroad as boy, and who now is an
owner of railroads and builder of new
lines. The third millionaire is Mr.. Kerens,
q practical business man of St. Louis, and
the trio forms one of the strongest combina-
tions of practical brains in this country.
The executive officer of the commission,
Lieutenant r. N G. Brown, is the son-in-
law of Henry G. Davis, and one of the ablest
officers of our navy. 1t was he who saved
tie Trenton during the terrible storm at
Samoa by making human sail of the men

day that If proven will show that Lille
johnson had knowledge of Alice Mitchelrs
murderous designs. A girl has been found
who claims to have overheard a converse
tion between them prior to the murder, in
which the killing of Freda Ward was dis
cussed. When Lille was arrested her law
yer announced his intention of at oncesuing
out writ OF habeas corpus, claiming that
there was not enough evidence to hold her
without bail. He abandoned this idea, and
now says that he will await the trial. That
he and the girls family should be content
to have her lie in Jail for weeks, perhaps
months, waiting trial, is taken to mean that
the defense is aware that the State has q
stronger case than appears on the surface.
The fact, too, that Lille continues to oc-
cupy the same room with the murderess is
urged against her, the argument being that
if Lille is innocent and thinks the other
either a sane or insane murderess, she would
be afraid to remain with her alone day and
night A long list of prominent physicians
are named as witnesses in the pending
lunacy proceedings, which has. revived in
terest in the case.

pressed herself as greatly disappointed when

camp, and be states that he has II men who
are carrying extra provisions for use in
Peru. The country Of Ecuador has shown
itself very friendly to the surveyors, but
the people among whom this second party
now is are uncivilized Indians and the coun-
try is lean and stingy, and the people will
neither give nor SELL 1t is for this reason
that they have had to carry extra provisions.
A Stretch of Expensive Road.
The camps are far away from the mails or
telegraphs, and the party will have to go 100
miles or so to cash draft. 1t is reported
that the country in which they are now is
going to be very expensive one for the
construction of railway. The road will be
10000 or 1900 feet above the sea, between
ranges of high mountains and over cross
mountains, forming what is called knot of
the Andes.
The party under Mr. Skunk has been
moving northward from Quito through the
Andes, and on the 10th of last December it
had surveyed 300 miles, and though it was
in the rainy season, was making about 3
miles day. Mr.. Skunk writes that. he can
make about ], 200 miles per year, and his
estimate is that it would cost only S32, 600
per mile for the 60 miles of road north of
Quito. He says that the building of the
road over the country he has passed is
entirely practicable, and he reports that the
officials and the people are very kind to
their party, and are helping it along in
every way they can. The party has had
many hardships. Like the other surveying
parties, they live in tents and carry their
camp from place to place on mules. They
have a lot of Indians to help them, and the
food is by no means good. In one letter re-
ceived by Mr.. Cassatt shortly after Mr..
Shunk's party got into Colombia, Mr.. Skunk
writes:
Nota Pleasant Sort of Living.
The work here is very hard. The days
are long and the nights are from 9to4. There
is little fruit and the only vegetables are
potatoes and beans. If the nature of the
animals we eat entered into us, we should
utter by this time some nightmare outcry
betwixt a grunt, baa and crow, and have
muscles like cat-gut.
The climate of the Andes during the
rainy season is terrible and the men are
working under great difficulties. Here is
dav in the Andes as described by Mr..
Skunk He says:
