plorers was that of DR.. John Rae,
whose death in London at an ad-
vanced age was lately announced
DIR. Rae was native of a northern
region. the Orkney islands, and be-
gan his active life as a surgeon in the
service of the Hudson's Bay company.
His first voyage of Arctic exploration
was made in two small boats in 1855
and was successful in its objects
DIR. Rae was at one time the reposi-
tory of all that was known of the
Arctic regions and was one of the
bravest of the brave men who have
endured so much to solve the prob

THE CONFERENCE OPENS

OF Brentwood.

The present Populist conference
has been we'll advertised by the
newspapers, and general public
interest has been manifested. 1t
was announced that the leading
lights OF the party would be present,
great ssges of all the reform
tribes IN Texas, and the consequence
was that very large audience
gathered in the Blue room of the city
hall last night to hear the opening
speech of Hon. c. Ii. jenkins, of
Brentwood. 1t was a representa-.
tive audience and there were many
ladies present.

Brings Out Many Of the
Leading RefornlerS


The great conference OF the Peo-
pies party leaders in Texas has
assumed the vast Importance pre-.
dicted so far Az numbers 60. Enthu-
siasts in the party spoke of a thous-
and delegates and their families,
but they state that hard times
prevented a very larger endance,
although fully 500 are present.
For some ind, Unable reason, the
true inwardness of which has not
been explained by the most ardent
and seemingly intelligent Populite
the real object of this rally, unless
it be to encourage the hopes of the
faithful and cheer the wavering,
has not been made public.
1t is known that the Peoples
party is elated over its accretion Of
members, both before and since the
last gubernatorial election, and
several members stated last night
that they were greatly surprised at
their own strength, real or reputed,
and it was gathered from the talk
of some delegates that the present
conference will be for the purpose
of "whoopiDg up" thin gs in the
party; sort of jubilation, po-
litical hallelujah meeting to inspire
confidence in the ranks of the Popu.
lists and spread terror among the
enemy, which means all the other
political parties.
1t il not the idea Of the reformers
assembled in Waco today to pro-
mulgate any new political doctrine,
or to modify the party platform in
any material way, but a plan of
future campaign will be decided
upon to be submitted TO the appro-
val of the Populist adherents of
Texas. Peace and harmony will
be established, the line Of battle
firmly drawn. And then, again,
the desire of the leaders is
to educate their adherents in social
and political science, as they con
slider the point of view and to weld
the chain of party fealty so strongly
that no present or future discussions
can break single link.
The most prominent subject to
be discussed will probably be the
opposition to charter corporations
in Texas. Those who seem to be
we'll posted in regard to the thought
and feeling of the Populists seem
to think that such a demand will
probably be discussed for insertion
in the next state platform of the
Peoples party.
On the financial question all of
them seem to be for the free and
unlimited coinage af silver.
The earnestness and apparent
sincerity of these people is most
impressive and assume the senti-
ment and enthusiasm of crusade.
Among the prominent delegates
and visitors present are Hon, T. l..
Nugent, j. Il. Allen, of Fayette
county; jim Davis, Harry Tracy,
II. 5 P. Ashby, Col. r J. Sledge,
w. +. Farmer, Col. w. O. Holt,
of Sherman; Hon. G. II. Jenkins,
of Brownwood, G. Vincent, of
Indianapolis, Ind, formerly editor
of the Non-Conformist, and many
lesser lights.

THIS MORNINGS MEETING.
Those Who Spoke and What They

At an early hour this morning the
Blue Room at the city hall began
to fill up with all sorts of people, the
rich, the poor, the we'll and the ill .
dressed, bankers, merch ants, doctors,
lawyers, preachers, and there was
quite presentation of the tin.
bucket brigade. OF course the
farmers and those who held Popu.
list views prevailed.
A great many delegates came in
early this morning or late last night
and there was larger number than
was anticipated. A prominent
member of the Peoples party said
that they did not expect half that
number.
State Chairman II. s. p. Ashby
called the meeting to order shortly
after 8 O'Clock in a short, pointed
address.
MIR. T. Il, Watson, of Navarro
county, was made secretary and af-
ter prayer by Rev. J. IL. Allen,
May or McCulloch made an address

saying that he appreciated fully the
situation and asked for respectful
hearing for the speaker.
The mayors address was re-
sponded to by Col. w. r. Robin
son, of San Antonio, in q few we'll
chosen words.
A committee on credentials was
appointed as follows: w. ID. Lewis,
w. E. Knowles, DR.. A. q. Isaacs,
