Ho thought the Nebraska i-fenf totalP men should commence n crusade / ngalnat the bushwhackers nnd backcnppcra who are running down the slate. W. M. Lowman of Hailing * said that thu eastern real retole men were putting In some telling points , and the Ncbraflki men , ho eald , were Rlad to have their methods criti cised. At the name time , he thought the cajtern n.en themselves were sometimes at fault He eald that too oflen they were un acquainted wllh the Nebrarka land they were trying to Bell , and ho related nrc In cident lo show whal could he done by In telligent work properly directed. A. M. Webster of I'eorla , 111. , formerly with the Burlington Immigration bureau , but now actively engaged with the Kansas City , Plltaburg & Gulf road , win calle < l out by his former areoclatcs for a little talk. Ho E * told what his company propc : d to do In the way of bringing about competition with eastern lines , and thus reducing Ihe freight / on farm products. . State Senator L. M. Graham of Stockvlllc. Fronthr county , took the floor to expatiate upon the advantages offered by his part of tlio state for Invlfltmcnt. I'ayton Roberts of Moumoutti , III , , advocate J the plan of advertising ono piece of land at a time and concentrating all efforts upon that ono tract until It was disposed of. He ob jected Btrongly to the old system of advertis ing a list covering hundreds of farms. He belloved moro land will bo sold In Nebraska this year than In any previous jtar In tha history of Iho state. H. T. Clarkeof Omaha spoke of his ex tended experience of forty-two years In Ne braska. He thought the greatest drawback ! i to Nobroflka In the past was poor farming. Too many men with no knowledge of fanning had nuido failures and attributed their fail ure , not to their own lack of experience , butte to the etalo Itself. A better claw of moro experienced farmers were coming now nnd with right methods all grumbling and croak ing would subside. VISITING THE STATE. In Iho afternoon the atlcndanco woo greatly diminished , many of the delegates being engaged In preparations for visiting different portions of the state before return ing to their homes In the cast. Since the convention assembled Wednesday morning the Nebraska agents hnd not been Idle , and as a result of their personal work many of the turn from the eastern elates decided to visit Nebraska towns , study the environ ments , educational and other facilities , visit the farms offered for sale and familiarize themselves generally with the situation In order that they might be In a bettor posi tion to describe their bargains when they returned home. The discussions of the oav- cral sessions had awakened the delegates to the necessity of concentrating efforts to sorao particular locality Instead of attempt ing to cover Iho entire stale. As a rcsull , It Is believed that more Intelligent work will bo done In thu futuic than In the past. Tlio earlier part of yesterday afternoon' * ) session was given up to a short business session of tha Interstate Land association , at which Judge 8. M. Knox of Princeton , 111. , president of the organization , presided. Secretary O. J. Gibson of Hcd Onk , la. , read the minutes of the last cession nnd they were approved. Slxlecn new members were \ added to the rolls of the association and the secretary directed to print n revised list of 'all members. Thin completed the business f nnd the association adjourned. The rest t of thu afternoon was taken up with Informal discussions along the line of the subjects suggested at at the morning session. U. F. Ferguson of Hensselaer , Ind. , said thcro was too much of Nebraska for It to bo a failure. In his own way , when he de sired to Interest parties In any particular section of Nebraska , he first inado himself familiar with that section. If ho wanted to send men to the beet sugar fields ho wrote to agenls eilher at Oraiul Island or Norfolk and secured lllcralure which gave in condensed form Iho best Information as to the Kind of land necessary for the suc cessful culture of beets , the best methods of preparing the soil and putting In the seed. Then ho takes his Information to the men whom ho knows are adapted to that class of farming1 and gets them Interested. He pursued the same policy with ruRnra tether other sections of the state. He wao of the I1 opinion that the Nebraska agents In prepar ing their advertising matter made a mis take In attempting to cover the entire state. Ha had received scores of pamphlets from different portions of the state and every a0'fot them was written along the same general lino. Each agent undertook to de scribe the entire state. Ho believed better rcsultB would bo obtained If each agent boomed his own particular locality. The men in the vicinity of Norfolk and Grand Island should lay especial tress upon tbo sugar * liidustry. The men from the parts of the xtsto wboro the production of cereals Is altcndcd wtlh the best results should make a specially of that class of literature , while the agents who have grazing lands to sell 17 should eet forth the advantages of their own locality. \f. S. Chatflold of Kankaltee , 111. , reiterated the opinion that each agent doing business cast of the 'Missouri river should select u particular locality of Nebraska for a Held and familiarize himself with that territory CHOP FAILURES EXAGGERATED. - W. D. Prultt of Arapahoe thought that the western , agents had moreto contend with than tha caatorn men , for when the agent bj dint of hurd work brings purchasers to Ne braska ho too often flml that bis customers are taken away from him by men who dabble in real estate , not as a regular business , but only in a suporllclal way. Speaking of crop falurcu | , ho denied that Nebraska was more unfortunate- Ihls respect than other stales but men who lived In Ilia east who know o particular cases of failure In any one locallt } aru too apt to believe lhat the entire slalu lias had u failure. Ho produced figures to 8h.0w that even with a possible failure o crops two > ara out o every flvo In No brauka , farming In thin state was moro proflt- able than It was In lllhii/fs. John Harper of Fall-Held , la , , said ho hat. wlthln tlio past eighteen months sold thlrty- llvti quarter sections of land In Nebraska Ho always know the farm ho had lo sell flrst. Hu then Interested his purchaser in that particular piece of .and , put him on a train and brought him lo Nebraska , tele- eraphud ahead tor a carriage to muet him at the depot , drove his purchaser to the farm without , having to hlop and ask soinobodj tha way , sold him tlio land and went home. Ho was always caruftil to tell the exact truth about the land ami1 rarely missed a sale. He attributed lib success to nls practice of flrst ee.c.lne' the farm himself before he- tried to Bell It. J. W , . Wolpton of Grant , Nob. , told of the advantages offered by Porklns county and cordially Invited soma of hU oaotcni friends to return homo with him. JT. M , Duchtol , division passenger agent at ( nurllngtqii , urged the eastern agents not to make the mUtaka of attempting ito cover the cntlro state of Nebraska. Each agent , ho thought , should have lib own Held. D. C. Howard of Kearney , Nob. , . Bald lhat ho bcllovutl that the convention had been of much henollt to Nebraska.

H Is said that McCrea will attack the rcorganlza- llon of the Northern Pacific , on thp ground that the transfer of the property to Iho Northern Pacific Railway company was Illegal and without the sanction of rongroo-j. If this can bo established In court another foreclosure will take place nnd It Is be lieved that through such proceedings the Pennsylvania railroad hopes to secure the road.

A dispatch to the Journal from Paris says : There were very few Americans present In the charily bazaar at Ihe lime of the fire , and these Boom lo be especially favored by forlune. Mrs. Aator left the bazaar n quarter of an hour before the conflagration. Miss Fane , sister of Frederick Fane , an American residing In the Rue Prony , who h almost totally deaf , was in the center of the building when the flre broke out. Her escape was largely due to her infirmity. She saw Iho lire without hearing the tumult ensuing on the discovery , and made her way to the exit , being among the flrst to roach It. baroness de Selllcre , formerly Mrs. Llvermore of New York , also reached the door among the first. Consul General Morse was passing near tlfo Rue Jean , riding on a bicycle , when Ihe cry of flre was raised. Ho left the machine In the btreot and devolcd himself all night to assisting the flrcmeii , Jlr. Whitney of Bos ton , an old volunteer fireman , who Is living In Paris , also assisted the firemen lu the work of rescue until daybreak. Ono mystery Is now cleared up. The vic tims were besmeared with flaming tar nnd other Inflammable compounds dropping from the roof , and this was why there was no prelude of asphyxia. The fair flower of French womanhood was singed like poultry by the licking flames and literally burned alive. PARIS , May C. With the exception of socialist newspapers , the whole press asso ciates Itself with the profound sorrow which has overtaken the upper class of French soclely.

To the list of victims must be added the names of Mile , do Chovllly and the Viacom - IESSO d'Avenal , who have succumbed to the Injuries they sustained whllo escaping from the flro. The report that the Countess Castcllane , formerly Miss Anna Gould , was among Ihe Aliasing is pure Invcnllon. The Castcllanes were not even in the vicinity of the flre. General Maunler , who was severely burned during the flre , died at noon today. Only five bodies now remain unidentified.
