Interested in the workings OF the electric
railway They had enjoyed two brief rides
before on electric systems one in Cincin.
natl, the other IN Boston. But the ride OF
ten miles to Council Bluffs was the longest
they had yet taken. 1t occasioned them con-
siderable surprise TO learn that they were
then riding on the longest electric railway in
the world.
The river. the two bridges and the various
industries on the bottoms, spread out like
panorama, were not lost to tbe quick eyes OF
the delegates, and many were the questions
asked concerning them.
The bottoms with their hundreds Of pretty
now cottages excited comments and some OF
the delegates opened their eyes in astonish-
ment at learning that less than two years
ago there were scarce q dozen habtations on
the fiat.
Alberto Falcon, deegate from Peru, and
one of the most intelligent of the party, ex-
pressed himself as delighted with Omaha.
Said he: "You western people are much
more progressive than those in the eastern
states. You have brought electric appliances
to a higher degree of perfection than have
the eastern people and YOU arc more inclined
to improve and advance than are the people
near the Atlantic slope OF your country. You
are ahead of us In the use of electricity.
We have electricity for street lighting and
domestic purposes in Peru, but we had not
yet dreamed of electricity as means of To-
comotion.

Ames, the officer of the day, drew company
mp In line at the entrance TO the parade
ground and kept them at present arms until
the visitors we're within the area.
Then the cannon doomed again and the
national salute was fired in honor of Omaha's
honored guests
IL front of the officers row another COM
pnny OF soldiers stood with present arms.
The band, IN the center OF the parade
grounds, played o lively air. and the
guests were driven TO the place on the
grounds assigned them.
The scene was an eulivening one. There
were crowds ana crowds. The drive wavs
were thronged with vehicles, greatly imped-
ing the progress Of the visitors while tho ut
most diligence of the soldcry was required
TO keen the spectators from taking possession
OF the parade ground. The attendance was
estimated at $1,000 people, all of thom
thoroughly imbued with the spirit of the
occasion.
When the delegates had been seated, the
bugle sounded the call and the dress parade
was begun. Colonel Frank Wheaton was
commanding officer. Captain Aimes officer
of tho day and Lieutenant Kin
panies participated in the parade, which
was conducted in manner that
elected the warmest commendation from
the visitors. At its conclusion, the dele
gates. headed by General Wheaton and Jose
M. Caumano. ex-president of Ecuador, in
spected the battalion. The soldiers appeared
in full uniform and presented magnificent
appearance.
IL was amusing to witness the surprise
depicted upon the countenauces of the thou
sands of spectators when the delegates were
seen. Everybody wanted to see them. Even
the soldiers, standing ut present arms at the
roadside, could not resist the temptation TO
break the Fifteen PAGES to tho front"
rule governing their eyes for the sake of
glance at the distinguished visitors.
There seemed TO be an impression among
some people in tue crowd that the delegates
would turn out to bo a swarthy lot of gentte-
men shade lighter than octoroons. The
less enlightened expected to see the dele
gates wearing wide sombreros and trousers
with beaded ornaments. 1t was great dis
appointment for these expectant ones to be
compelled to alight upon the red badges as
the only certain method of distinguishing the
delegates from the members Of the recep-
tion committee.
After the parade the party returned to the
city, going south on rhrtieth to Spauldihg,
., east to Twenty fourth south to Cummings,
cast to Twenty second, south to Dodge, west
to Twenty sixth, south to Leavenworth, east
to Sixteenth, north to Farnam and then to
the Paxton hotel, where the party arrived ut
3:45 o'clock, dusty, hungry and weary, but
fully satisfied with the trip aud the enter
tainment afforded.

letter advises tie farmers of Iowa 10 sup.

official head Of several thousand farmers, his
words are regarded as very significant. and

should be republicans, and among other
things says.
"The Iowa farmer must sectre home

The evening was scent in accordance with
the various inclinatlons of the visitors,
many of them remaining in their rooms,
resting after the fatigues of the day. From
the balcony in the lobby the opera house
orchestra discoursed sweet strains, and
below many of the visitors aud large num-
ber of cilizens mingled in a good natured,
iostling crowd. A great many prominent
citizens ayailed themselves Of this oppor-
tunity for becoming better acquainted with
the nations guests, anu were met more than
half way by the latter. Little knots were
gathered In the various hooks and seated in
close proximity, discussing the commercial
resources of their native lands. The dele
gates were greatly interested in learning
further details of the manufacturing facili-
ties of this section, and were ever ready to
imfart information in regard to their pro-
ducts
UP II new source of wonderment, and many
inquiries were made regarding the different
kinds of machinery in use.
Gene al U. Bolero Paraza, of Venezuela,
was especially interested in learning all
about the latest inventions in machinery for
crushing ore ana refining it. He said he
was lnterested in the mining industry in his
country and said If they had the improved
machinery used III tnlS country tney could
develop their mines much more satisfac-
torly.
Several of the merchants among the dele
gates exchanged ideas and facts with some
of the prominent Omaha merchants.
In short, the evening was surely an era of
good feeling and was most pleasantly spent
in mutual intercourse,
AT 8 o'clock the visitors began droppin 2
off in twos and threes and taking their way
TO their train.
by II o'clock the entire party were safely
ensconced within the tram, many retiring at
once, but some betook themselves to the din
| ing car, where light lunch were partaken
of and the cnjoyments of the day discussed.
Several of the delegation had been very
pleasantly entertained early in the evening
at the paatial residence of Mr.. Samuel

of Omaha hospitality and the beauty OF
Omaha ladies.

DEs MoINEs, Ia, Oct. 21.-GSpeclal to
The BEEi--A movement is again on
foot for the establishment of great central
Methodist university at thus place, which
shall unity all the Methodist educational IN
terests OF the state. At the last session of
the Des Moines conference it was arranged
to have commission meet in this city I o
consider this subject. That commission,
with Bishop Warren as president, will meet
in this city In the course OF month or six
weeks. There are ut present four Methodist
colleges in the state, located respectively at
Mount Pleasant, Indianola Mount, Vernon
and Fayette; naturally, each il weak, an
unable to do what needs to be done. Instead
of one strong university for the state,
the Methodists have divided their
strength, their enthusiasm and
their energy into quarters, and no school is
at all equal to the demands of tho times
But each has LEGAL constituency, which
with natural PRIDE and affection refuses to
give up and make way for new aud central
school So all the schemes for having the
four merge into one at the capital of the
state have failed
Now new turn Is taken, and it is pro-
posed to allow the four to remain and make
them adjuncts or auxiliary to the one uni
versity proper which shall be located at Des
Mones. 1t is proposed to have here schools
of medicine, law, pharmacy, dentistry, ETC.,
in fact the usual professional schools of a uni
versi.y, and leave at the four places the
schools for the liberal arts. Then, mste ad
enthusiasm and interest in the will of the
whole, and great university with it's center
at the capital could be developed The pro-
1ect Is meeting with much favor.

1--WE have the minerals. especially copper,
silver and gold" he said, "the only draw
back being the distance from coal mines.
Bnt we are building railroads aud will soon
be able to get our coal cheap enough TO
maintain reduction works, instead of ship
ping our minerals TO Germany aud England,
as Is now being done.n
MIR. Frank II. Taylor, representing the
Philadelphia Ledger and Frank Leslie's,
said he was very much impressed with
Omaha, and that he would return in few
months for Frank beslie's paper ana give
such an illustration OF this city as has never
before been gwen. He said that while the
corn palace was tho most curious thing they
had seen on the tour their stay in Omaha
had been attended with the greatest pleasure
ana the best weather. Everybody had en-.
ioyed himself here immensely.
MIR. Samuel Boyd, the managing editor,
ana one of the proprietors of the Panama
Star and Herald and La Estrella, of Panama,
and consul for the republics of BOLIVIA and
Costa 3ica in that city, also accompanies the
delegates having received a, special invita-
tion to do so as n representative of the
Spanish-American press The Star and
Herald is published in English, French and
Spanish, and Is the oldest foree n newspaper
of its kind in Spanish-AmerIca, having
been established since 1919, and has the
largest circulation in those countries. MIR.
Boyd was seen by BEE man. He said that
he had met Patrick Egau, United States
minister 10 Cnill anu spoke, very. blRnly OF
him. Since Mr.. Egan arrived in Chill he
had created q very favorable impression.
The newspapers were all against
the United States minister before
his arrival, but within three days they
all come over and are now friendly. MIR.
Bgan found that Chill was very deficient IN
milling and -four works, and as he Is himself
a miller, he set TO work aud built model
mill which has created a great furore by the
impetus given Chlian industries. Mr.. Boyd
said his people will keep on agitatlng until
the people OF the United States wake up to
the great Importance of having commercial
intercourse with their neighbors in south
America, which is now almost entirely mo-
nopolized by England.
The delegates say that the only mistake
the Omaha people made was In attempting
too much. They regretted having to decline
visit to the slaughter houses. but they had
seen the Chicago houses and did not really
care to see those Of South Omaha
Governor Thaycr, Attorney General Leese,
Superintendent Steen, and Assistant Secre
tary Cowdrey, of Lincoln, were all surprised
at what Omaha presented They had no
idea of her greatness, even though they had
been here often. The trip to the smelling
works struck them most favorably. They
all enjoyed the visit immensely.
