Excerpt from Searchlight on the Panama Canal: Or America's Greatest Enterprise At A. M. I was seated in an express train on the Penn sylvania Railroad Line at Union Station. Soon the signal bell sounded, the engine puffed its curling and ascending smoke, and the iron horse was seen moving at about forty miles an hour toward New York, where I was met by Secretary Bell, of the Young Men's Christian Association. I was greatly impressed by the Secretary's courteous and obliging manner. He took me through the Association building. Everything was in the best order and as neat as could be.
