The visitors wero most favorably im- presséd with the thoroughness of all the de- tails af this model plart, s their frequent commendatory exprédssions attested, They paid particular attention to the colossal machivery, and were deliberate in their ex- amination of the settling basins and other features of the works.

The members of the reception committee, at least such of them as had not gone to Florence to meet the ex- cursionists, formed a group on the platform and cast longing eyes in the direc tion of Kloreace, where the delegates and other members of the comiittee were sup- posed to be enjoving themselyes. Among those present were: (Congressmen Connell and Dorsey; Councilmen- M. Lee, C. L. Chaffee, 5. W. Davis, Jacob Counsman and F. E. Bailey: Charles Dewey, Frank Col- petzer. B. B. Wood, W. N. Babeock, C. N. Doitz, Fred Gray, J. J. Brown, Ihomias Orr and J. A, Wakefield. o The excursionists were announced to ar- rive at As early as 1:30 p, m. the crow ‘hon word was passed that the train had been delayed at Pender and at Florenoe, aad would not reach Omaha until 3 o'clock or iater. The waiting was tedious, Expectant members of the committee and the crowd ed up and down the platform and along the tracks, rushing forward at each whistle of an engine or clang of a bell, - They were improssed wita the magnitude of the business that is done by the roads centering at this end of the city. Pagsengor trains, froight traios, switch traius, trains of ull descriptions arrived and passed in rapid succession, bnt tho train that they longed for did not come,and the anxiety wuod disappointment deepened, Thero was a dotail of polico present, and members of the “fiuest” stood around and Kicked their heels agaiust the curbing, out of force of habit, more thau from a de- sire to iceep warn, The department of the Platte sented by a delegation of office of Majot Peter 1. Vroom, insp Major Benham, inspector of small arms practice, and Captain John Snip- son, assistant club quartermaster. The offcers joined with the members of the re-' ception committoe in extending @ welcome 10| tue distingmished, vistors. The train came witlt a rush, yet almost noisclessly, ag g k. Thero was a rush of spectitors, and tha police were unable to keep the erowds back from the train. Mem-' bers of the recepuion committee who met tho exeursionists at Sioux City alighted and were joined by the members of tho com- witteo in waiting. All re-entered the train and, after o stop of but three muiutes, tho excursionists proceeded on their way to South Omaha, over the Union Pacific, in charge of Superintendent W. N, Babcock of the stock yards. TO AND FROM THE YARDS, How was repro- consisting tor general 3 ‘T'he Visitors View the Industries from Afar Of The delegates’ late arrival necessarily cut short the visit to South Omaba, Instead of spending an hour there, as originally mtended, it was deemed advis- able to make no stop at all. In order to re- wrn to their hotei before 6 o'clock, the visi tors were permitted only to take a generak view of the stock yards and packing housoes from the car platforms and windows, At no time was the train stopped long enough for anyona of the party to disembarlk. This haste disuppointed everybody, but it could not bo helped without deferring their arrival at the hotel untii long after dark. General Manoger Babcock and the packiog houss people had prepared to give the delegates an cn- tertainment that would undoubtedly have pleased them, Consequently, when the fact became apparent that they would not be per- mitted to carry out the procramme as ar- ranged, feelings of deep mortification settled n the countenances of every one, Iive hundred fav bullocks, slaughtered in fiftoen minutes, were to have been the sight wbich wasto have been witnessed at Ham- mond & Co.’s establishments; the storage and-cooling rooms at Swifv's were to have beon inspected and the canning department of Armour’'s visited, Mr. Babeock nad eloquent address of welcome in his mind, bot the wholo busivess simply had to be ignored. Crowd of citizens bad assembled at the different houses auxious w geta view of the foreigners, and they, o0, were disappointed. On the trip to the yards and back the re- ception committee aua newspaper men mado ita poiut to get acquainted with the dele- wates aud 1uform them us to the growth of Owmaba, the public inprovements, commer- cial importance, and the extension of the packing intercst. [n ull these watters tho visitors scomed to be greatly concerned, and wany expressed surprise at the revelation. When the train on ks return react the Union Pacific depot, the visitors clambered out, were escorted to carriages in waiting for them, and driven dienct to the Paxton hotel. Jawes Stephenson had the carriages in charge and mn-sml that feature of the programmo spiendidly, In addition to all the hacks necessury to accommodate the entire purty he had two of his six-horse coaches, and with thewr brought up the rearof the pro- cession, EMBOWEKRED HALLS, in the city Ahe Scene of Beauty in Rotunda. ‘The rotunda of the Paxton hotel is like n scone from fairy land, A profusion of bunt- ing, flugs and tropical plauts covers the arches, pillars and stair rails, and the most exquisite perfume pervades the atmosphere, Morse's talented decorator, Mr. A, W, Shaw, had charge of the work, and has coyered himself with glory.

At the conciusion of the repast fragrant cigars were stmokev in‘the rotunda, preparatory to going to the opera. During the exercises and the meal the ro- tunda of the hotel was thronged, such a gathering of interested and representative citizens never, possibly, baving assembled in the place before.

The delegates and the members of the local reception committee attended the pro- duetion of “Leah, the Forsaken,”” by Marga- rev Mather and her company at the Grand last night. The house was tastily decorated for tho oceasion, the stage, boxes and bal- conies being draped and festooned with the national colors, The delezates occupied seats in the parquet and dress circle, and divided the attentions of the audienco with the stage 'attraction.

He said the delogates wero gbtting used to the littls fatigues of the journay, and were enjoying themselves with & renewed zest tnav they did not long for the end of their trip, but were ready for anything that might tarn up. This wonderfal country had whetted their appetites and thog fonged for more. Everything was so marvelous, our broad prairies, bristling towns, herds of cattle, beautiful women, live men, good music and better wine, wereail caloulated to glorify lifo, to make a sainv out of an anch- orite, and ho was lad 10 be privileged to be- nold such pleasures as these, encompassing him upon ail hands.

And the west, where 1 looked for Indians and wild men, I find large cities and everything of the highest order.” Acibindes Velarde, of Bolivia, said can not find words o express iy admir of your country.” Samuel Valdiveso, ot Salvador, said the people of South America regarded Blaine and Gladstone as the two leading statesmen in tho world, and that in @ few years he hoped to see an immense commerce carried on between all the countries, From a general counversation with num- bers of the delegatos, the secretaries and the diplomatic represcntatives, it wus de- duced that their one aim 18 to establish more intimute relations with the Uniled States and the countries of Central and South America. They have come with the avowed purpose of meeting our peaple morc than half way, and in their estimation, 1t is evi- dent, the improvement and .eatargement of the facilitios for transporiation are the pa- tent factors calculated to bring, abonut these desired relations, They are undoubtedly ready to cooperale with any movement that will “promote this condition of trade and trafiic between these great countrics.

Our people are ex- tremely anxious for botter and closer com- mercial relations with the United States, As iv is now, everything in Brazil nearly is con trolled by English capitalists, Al our im- ports, aud they are enormous, come from England, Fraoce and Goermany.

AT THE BEE BUILDING, The Pan-Amerioan Delegates Meet With a Genuine Surprise. ““I'his surpasses anythiog we have yet! The exclamation came from Mr. Romero, the well known Mexican minister, as he stood last nighit fn the rotunda of Tie Bek building. ¥rom top to bottom the stately struct- ure blazed forth a flood of soft, mel low light, its white interior Jforming a beantiful picture as seen from & distance through the large, glistening win- dows, and throughont the various depart- ments one covld fiad interesting entertain- ment 1n withessing tho activity of editors, operators, printers, and hear the busy hum attendant upon the work requived prepara- tory to issuing the great Suxpay Bee. After enjoy ing Margaret Mather's matoh- less performuuce of that wiera and awfal play of “Leah, the Iorsaken,” Omaha’s distinguished Pan-American visitors were well prepared to huve their minds diverted by a scene of enterprise such a8 described above. Between 11 and 12 o'clock, when the entire establishment was in full blast, they were escorted to Tug Bre building, shown through all its udmir- ably arranged apartments, and were ex- tremely woll pleased. Mr, Rosewater met the visitors at the threshold and gave them a hearty welcome. Their surprise upon entering and having such a picture as the fine court und its graceful finish suadenly presented to their nze, was most complete. The delogates wero accompanied by several members of the reoeption and entertainment commit- tues, also the state officers, Senator Paddoclk, members of Genoral Brooke's staff, and a large number of prominent citizens, Bofore ascending by auick elevator tran- sit to the upper floors, the foreign visit- ors, attaches and newspaper ~men were taken into tho press room, just off the court, where the two large perfecting presses were runniong full speed and turning out copies of T'ng BEE at the rate of 80,000 an hour, In their own peculiar language, accom- panied often by suggestive gestures, thoy passed many comments upon the operation. The press room, however, proved no more interesting to some of these travelers than did the stereotyping department, which was shown them after they reached the sixtn floor they watched the process of making the hatf round metal plates from which Tuk Beg s printed, very attentively, and pro- nounced it one of the wond of modern enterprise as wejlas an interesting feature of a complote newspaper oftice. The editorial fooms, news room and busi- ness ofice were eich tnspected in turn, and the visitors departed with many exclama- tions of the pleasnre they felt at having been permitted tosee the largest and finest newspaper oflice in America.
