Cornell at the start. but failed. Cornell
rowed a clean race
without a Break Of Any Kind.
Pennsylvania splashed and rowed badly
and Columbia, for some unknown rea-
son, was not in the race after the first
quarter mile. The Harvard crew rowcd
pluckily but was .outclassed. The 0 N
ditions were favorable. The water wa
smooth, the wind undisturbing and the
ebb tide in favor of very good time.

saw the race. The observation train
carried 5000 and 5000 were on yachts

ST. LOUIS, July 19.-There was a
meeting at the Lindell hotel tonight in
the interest OF Bryan.
Chairman Jones of the Democratic
national committee arrived this even
ing and was met at the station by Sem
ator Stewart of Nevada, Governor
Stone of Missouri, NJ. c. Wetmore of
ST. Louis and John F. Martin, who
was rgeant-at-arms of the Demo
cratic convention. The party drove to
the Planters hotel, where a short con-
ference was held. Governor Stone in
formed Senator Jones as to the situa-
ton here, saying the Popuhsts were
willing to endorse Bryan if they could
be assured that they would not be dis
eliminated against. Later Senator
Jones attended a meeting of the Bryan
men at the Bryan headquarters in the
Lindell. About sixty men were pres
ent and quite a large number of states
was represented among them being
Missouri, Maryland, Kansas, Nebraska,
Nevada, Colorado, California, Utah,
Oklahoma, Iowa and Washington. At
this conference General J. B. Weaver
of Iowa was chosen temporary chair
man, and Fred L. Bailey of Oklahoma,
Mr.. Merrill of Nebraska and Mr.
Young of Kansas secretaries. 1t was
decided to push the Bryan movement
with vigor, either for nomination or
for an endorsement. Senator Jones was
asked as to what the Populists could
expect in the way of recognition in
case Bryan should be endorsed by the
Populist party.
Senator Jones replied that in the
event Of Mr.. Bryan's election to the
presidency he would know no party,
and would recognize all who had rail-
lied to his support. Populists were not
to be looked upon as step-ehildren.
The recognition of all silver men
would be equal.
This announC ement was received with
applause by the Bryan Populists pres
ent. Senator Jones made further OBJ
serVatiOns about this years campaign
being a fight by all the people for the
people, and that no small differences
should stand in the way of united ac-
ton. He also urged them to organize
as the silver forces organized in Chi
cago. Both of these statements were
received with applause. Afterwards
Senators Jones and Stewart had a con-
ference with Senator Butler of North
Carolina. and urged him to use his in
huence With the southern delegates to
support Bryan as it was from these
delegations that the principal opposi-
ton to Bryan came
1t was stated in the meeting that Mr..
Bryan had formally declined to make
any specific pledges, notwithstanding
he had been importuned to do so.
Those of the delegates present who had
seen him since his nomination said that
MIR. Bryan had said to them that the
Populists must trust him, as he pro-
posed to trust them, but under no cir
cumstances would he make any prom

Thls sentiment was generally ap-
plauded as courageous in view of the
prospect of receiving 2 900, 900 votes. but
the sentiment was construed to mean

his supporters in all respects in case
of his election

Merely a Forecast.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 19.-EXcept at
the Lindell, where most of the Popu-
lists and silver men make their head
quarters, the hotels contain few poll
ticians. Most of the delegates will not
arrive until Tuesday A number Of
prominent leaders, however, came on
today's train. With the exception OF
Lawrence McParlin, Of New York, all
the members of the national executive
committee of the Populist party are
now here. NJ. C. Rankin, the treas
urer, came from Terre Haute, Indiana,
this afternoon, and Ignatius Donnelly
of Minnesota, arrived tonight. Ine
Hon. 7. NJ. Patterson, chairman of the
regular Populist delegation from Colo
rada; A. c. Dillon, a prominent silver
man and Populist from California, and
George T. Washburn, Cf Boston, ar
rived from Lincoln, Neb., having visit
ed Mr.. Bryan. Ex-Governor Waite,
who heads the contrasting delegation
from Colorado, is also here. General
Vandervoort, of Omaha, was an early
arrival, but General j. S. Coxey is
another notable to arrive. The latter
met the prominent members of the
two parties already here and spent the
day distributing copies of his plan of
war against the goldites."
Senator Jones, of Nevada, is expected
tomorrow and his arrival is anXiously
looked forward to by the Bryan sup
porters among the Populists and silver
men. General Standish, of North Da-
korta, came in on an early train ana
had been in the city but a short time
before he received a, telegram from one
of the members of the delegation who
had not yet left home, saying: Stand
UP for Bryan, he is our only saliva
ton
Most of the day at the hotels was
spent, by the delegates quietly convers-
ing among themselves. Several infor
NAL conferences were held.
At the Laclede hotel, the middle Of
the road Populists held a mass meet
ing, which was fairly we'll attended.
The towering form of Cyclone" Davis,
of Texas, and the better known Cen
erar' Coxey, of Ohio, attracted much
attention.

LINCOLN, Neb., July 19-In the
midst of his sermon at the First Pres
byterian church here today, the Rev.
Thomas P. Williams paid a high COM
plinent to the character of William j.
Bryan, the Democratic presidential
nominee Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan and
their three children occupied the fam
lily pew in the church and when the
divine began his eulogism both Mr..
and Mrs Bryan showed signs of en-
barrassment. Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan
spent the afternoon at their home, as
sisted by a secretary, looking over the
thousands of letters which have ac-
cunlulated The number was augment
ed by about 500 letters which came in
this mornings mail. F. U. Adams of
Chicago, who is in charge of the Dem
ocratic campaign literary bureau dur
ing the next few months, arrived here
today, and spent several hours with
Mr.. Bryan. They devoted most of the
time to sorting out speeches the candi-
date has made since his entrance into
public life, parts of which will be used
for campaign purposes. Since his re-
turn Mr.. Bryan has been the recipient
of numerous presents from enterpris-
ing merchants Chief among these are
the manufacturers of cigars and whis-
kies. AS Mr.. Bryan uses neither to-
bacco nor whisky he cannot attest to
their quality and so the whisky finds
its way to the sewer, and the cigars
he distributes among the newspaper
correspondents. He said he did not
desire these gifts or gifts of any kind,
and in order to discourage the sending
of them he has decided not to ac-
knowledge their receipt.

VIII Bust 1t Wide Omen.

ST. LOUIS, July 19.-Some of the anti
Bryan Populists held a secret meeting in
Chairman Taubeneck's room at the Lindell
tonight. Among those present We're Ig-
natius Donnelly, of Minneapolis; "Cy-
clone Davis, of Texas; w. Mcdowell, of
Arkansas, and others. They discussed the
situation behind closed doors, and under
strict injunctions of secrecy for hours.
AT midnight the meeting was still in ses-
sion. Those who merged from the room
WINE the meeting was in progress declined
absolutely to talk. As Mr.. Mcdowell left
he met Mr.. Patterson of Colorado, and in
the course of a brief conversation said
that while it was possible for the Demo-
Gratis and Populists to get together the
Democrats must meet them half way.
We must maintain the identity of our
organization, said he.
If you refuse to accept this oppor-
tunity to join the Democrats in the restor-
alton Of silver" replied Mr.. Patterson en-
phatically, the object for which we have
been fighting, you need not worry about
the identity of the party. There will be
no party. You will have no following.
The individual Popuists will desert you
as rats desert a sinking ship

They Lose Their Lives in a Chicago
Fire.
CHICAGO, July 19.-Three men lost
their lives in the fire which destroyed
the car barns of the Chicago City rail
way at Cottage Grove avenue and
Thirty-ninth street last night. The

AFTER daylight and until a short time
before che discovery was made it was
not supposed that any human being
had persisted.
The names of the dead are:
Patrick Martin, conductor.
William ElweA, driver.
Frank Crosby.
With the other employees of the COM
pany the three victims had been en-
gagged early in the night in removing
the horses and cars from the burning
plant and had in some unaccountable
manner been cut off by the flames.

will abandon that party without regret
and unanimously unite with the party

the doom of the party if, by it's action,
it arouses well-grounded suspicion
that it prefers party autonomy to the
legislation for which the masses are in

course operate differently in Texas or
North Carolina from what it would in
Nebraska, or Colorado? There are So
coo Populist votes in Colorado. If the
coming convention shall not nominate
a separate ticket, at least 10000 of
them will in any event be cast for
Bryan, and the probabilities are that.
