Guaten1aIan Development
A Great Railpvay achievement.

OF incalculable Importance to the eco
nomic and commercial development of
Guatemala, and especially TO the relations
between that Central American republic
and the United States, will be the ap-
preaching completion Of the Northern
Railway. This will be an achievement
quite worthy Of the enterprise and per-
sistence which are implied in the name
OF this route: for Northern engineering
skill and Anglo-Saxon energy have been
enlisted in pushing this work TO compile
ton, as a part of the domestic and foreign
programme of the admir- .stration Of Pres
ident Estrada Cabrera The determine
ton of that executive and Of his LOYAL
associates could meet with no severer test
than the accomplishment Of this work In
face of repeated discouragements and
typographical difficulties.
It has become notorious in the political
discussions Of Central America that this
work, whose completion will be the
GROWING glory Of the administration of
President Cabrera, has been the object of
much envy by the party Of the opposition.
and the target of many partisan attacks.
1t has been opposed by those who are
frightened at such a material manifesto
ton Of the modern spirit of advancement
and who in English parlance would be
called 'mOss-backs," and also by those
moved by malevolent opposition to the
government. These elements of opposi-
ton have shown themselves TO be formi-
dable and persevering. Nevertheless. they
have not been able to meet on equal
terms, much less to overcome the strength
Of purpose inspired by far-sighted states
manship that has steadfastly maintained
progress Of this enterprise
Not even the spirit of instruction, pro-
noted by the party opposed to progress.
and not even the recent attack upon the
life Of the constitutional president OF
Guatemala. has disturbed the serenity
or shaken the courage with which he
has persisted in the promotion Of this
great enterprise. Only recently President
Cabrera aroused great enthusiasm among
the people of his country by driving in
person the spike which unites the rail-
roads Of the South with those of the
North. Even now, in the midst Of many
rumors of disturbances in his own coun-
try, and in its neighbors the President
Of the largest republic OF Central America
Is prosecuting with more vigor and
greater determination, If that were pos
sible, this railway construction upon
which the fame Of his administration and
the economic development Of his country
will rest.
1t must be understood that this North
ern Railway, as soon as it is opened for
traffic throughout its entire length, will
place the capital anG the whole interior
OF the country in direct communication
with Puerto Barrlos on the Atlantic
coast This will place New Orleans within
five days or less of Guatemala City, Chi
cago six days and Philadelphia, New
York, and Boston seven to eight DAYS.
The connection between this Northern
Railway and the Guatemala Central Rail-
way win result in giving the country a

Modern Navhl warfare.

Nothing in all modern times has ad.
vanced more rapidly than naval engi-
neering and warfare. Ever since the
public has been impressed with the
fact that nations life depends on
IT'S navy, It has been becoming more
and more interested. But as II makes
dull reading and as very few have mad
any opportunity TO inspect monster
battleship at close range, most Of us
have, at least, only a vague sense Of It's
magnitude and power Therefore Ly.
man II. Howe's maving pictures Of a
great naval attack in the opera house
on Thursday night win prove not only
distinctly novel and instructive, but
will crafty much natural curiosity.
Tine pictures were secured only through
special facilities given by the Lords Of
the Admiralty England and as Mr..
Howe controls the sole American rights
for the greater portion, they are exhi-
bited IN this country only BY him.
