A COFFEE EXHIBIT.
Guatemala's Great Show
at Chicago.
The Little Republic to Take Good
Display-interview With the Pres
ident of the Commission.

Manuel Lemus, president OF the Guate-
mala Worlds Fair Commission, arrived
from the Son hern republic yesterday en-
route TO Chicago. He is accompanied by
Leon R0senthal. treasurer Of The commits
sion.
Senior Lemus was seen by a CALL re-
porter at the Occidental Hotel yesterday
afternoon, to whom he said:
Il do not think | can tell you much more
about our exhibit at the Columbian exhibi-
ton than you have already heard. More
over. So many Worlds Fair Commissioners
are constantly passing through and giving
descriptions OF their contribution to the
show that il seems almost superfluOus.
In these accounts which | have read
always notice one thing occurs with Unfail-
ing regularity. Each representative thinks
and says that the particular exhibit in
which he is interested Is to eclipse every
thing else there.
1.-The public opinion and juries' awards
will be the best criterion of that, and,
although Guaienaia's showing will not be
so large as some countries, as is natural,
still | think we shall give a good account OF
ourselves at the Fair.
II have already spent considerable time
in Chicago experimenting The erection of
buildings. etc.. assisted by Senior Ramon
Guzman.
The original appropriation made by our
government was S2UO,OU0, but with the ad-
ditiona! outdoor features we are putting in
have no doubt this will be very much ex-
ceeded.
I'VE are making our principal display in
coffee, which, OF course, is our chief staple.
"A unique departure is the establishment
Of an actual coffee plantation in the
grounds, where tho berry Will be grown
and ever process demonstrated from plant
ing to consuming.
I'VE have characteristic pavilion in one
corner, from which coffee VIII 0e served

duced elsewhere.

prove an attractive portion of the exhibit.
Guatemala Is forging ahead, as people
with capital from the United States and
elsewhere are commencing to realize that
ours is good country in which TO double
it quickly.
The people are beginning to awake TO
the advantages of the country, and infuse
some energy into their development
Eve want good immigrants there, and it
will pay them to come.
he country is being developed all
round, and President BarrioS is Just the
man to push things along and enhance the
prosperity OF the country.
n large railroad Is in projection to run
between Porto BarrioS and the city Of
Guatemala, at a probable cost Of 81, 900 600.
and an appropriation of this amount Is
asked. Three smaller roads, interseeting
the State in different directions, are also
projected. and will probably be started on
soon"

the Pacific Mail with The Panama Railroad
expiring about the same time, two conf
peting lines Of ocean freight-carriers were
established. This has compelled the trans
continental railroads 10 reduce their freight
rates TO meet the new competition. These
reduced Rates, however, only apply to ter
minal points, giving favored cities still
greater advantages in carrying on whole
sale business.
Ont of these seemingly adverse circum-
stances there is an opening through which
n ray OF hope CLEANS for the future of San
BernardinO. Let her merchants combine
and avail themselves of the cheaper ocean
rates.
San Bernardino merchants can bring
goods around the Horn and lay them down
other port as cheaply as can Los Angeles
merchants, and the local freight to San Ber-
nardtno is Just as cheap for San Bernardino
merchants as it is Tor Los Angeles.

A Losing Game.

1t Is exceedingly gratifying to learn that
the new competitive steamship lines have
been enabled to lay the lash of competition
upon the Southern Pacific with sufficient
vigor TO be felt through the pachydermic
hide of that arrogant monopoly. The big
cargees of freight that have recently gone
by the isthmuS route are doing their work,
and the railroad has found il necessary to do
something Naturally it announces a rate
war, possibly entertaining the hope of being
able to drive the steamers out of business.
But there is good deal Of sentiment in this
effort Of tie san Francisco merchants to free
themselves from the railroad grasp, and
they are likely 10 stand by their colOrs when
it comes to a fight between their ships and
tho railroad. Before Mr.. Huntington gets
through with this contest be may reach the
conclusion that his greedy policy of "charg-
ing all the traffic will bear is, in the long

In answer to many inquiries that are con-
stanily being made By property-owners Of

Page and Clayton streets via Carl street to

ment Club, declares that the branch
through the district will not be extended
and operated until the $l2j,000 bonus asked

San joaquin Canals.

Two new railroads and canal are being
mapped out 10 connect this valley with tide
water. When these are constructed and
living machine Is evolved we may be able to
get in and out at a rate cheaper than staying
at home. Here is what the Fresno Repub-
llcan says of the canal scheme. 1t is con-
templated to organize n company with
capital stock OF S500,OO and the estimates

The Awakening.
riverside Enterprise.

The merchants of San Francisco after
years of inactivity have at last awakened
10 the great necessity of cheap transporta-
tion rates and TO that end are bending every
energy toward the establishment. upon
firm business basis, Of the new transporta-
tion company recently formed, TO transport
freight by way of the Isthmus.
San Franciscans are on the right track {
last. and If they will throw nff the lethargy
which has been their characteristic for these
many years, they may succeed in recover
ing some OF the business they have lost by
former inactivity.

Plenty fer Both.

A canal from the southern portion Of this
valley, communicating with the San Joa-
Qutn River, and competing railroad would
each find enough to do TO tax their capRbilI-
ties to the utmost The. amount OF freight
to be hauled would be largely increased,
for cheap trans portation would leave a
larger profit in the hands of producers
and permit of the further Improvement
of the country and the increase of products
for export, and as well, require the impor-
tatiOn OF a greater amount of merchandise.
Whatever causes the development of the
country will add TO the prosT Gritty of San
Francisco, and the city and the interior
should work together for their own benefit.

AS noted in our news columns the steamer

Newark and placed In commission in Il
rather mysterious manner, causing the met
roDolitan press TO wonder and wonder what

Stockton, maintained a passenger service
