The Democratic Carnival at Dallas Proved a Veritable Feast of Oratory—Dollar Dinner Last Night. Dallas, Tex., Oct. 3.—Last night’s and this morning’s trains brought in large delegations to swell the throngs of democrats from the west and south- west who have come to attend the car- nival. Democratic doctrine was ex- pounded from half a dozen platforms morning, afternoon and evening yes- terday, but many of the prominent party men who are here from all parts of the country were heard to-day. The erowds were larger to-day and interest was heightened by the programmes of oratory prepared for their entertain- ment. The dollar dinner at the Auditorium to-night closed the carnival. Much was expected of this in point of attend- ance and enthusiasm and it was a fit- ting wind-up of the two-days’ celebra- tion. Mr. Bryan touched on trusts. Hon. William Sulzer, of New York, took for his text, ‘‘The Democratic Platform Popular in the East.’ O. H. P. Belmont and Judge Tarvin spoke upon democracy in their respective states. ‘‘Trusts,’? was the theme of Col. M. C. Wetmore, of St. Louis, while ex-Gov. Stone, of Missouri, discussed party matters under the topic, ‘‘Ways and Means.’? Gov. Jones, of Arkansas, J. G. Johnson, Champ Clark and Harry B. Hawes also spoke. An overflow meet- ing was held with Senator Berry, of Arkansas, and Congressman Benton, of Missouri, as the speakers. Mr. Bryan made a speech yesterday in answer to repeated calls. Funds necessary for democratic campaign purposes, he said, must come from the people, who control the party. “Not one republican in 100 contributes to its campaign fund,” be went on, ‘‘and not one republican in 100 has anything to say about the policy @f the party after the campaign is over. The corpora- tions that contribute the funds control the party.’” No Religion Taught in Schools. Yokohama, via Victoria, B. C., Oct. 3.—The Japanese government, having decided to keep its system of educa- tion strictly secular, follows the logic of its decision by withholding its sanctions and privileges from all schools in which religion in any form is taught. This has, of course, been construed as an attack upon Christian schools, which are in effect almost the only ones to suffer from the new pol- icy. Big Strike at Cramp’s. Philadelphia, Oct. 3.—Seven hundred boiler-makers and iron ship-builders, with about 200 helpers, went on strike to-day at Cramp’s shipyard for a work- ing day of nine hours. The ship-build- ers include riveters and caulkers and the strikers say the action of these men and the boiler-makers will prac- tically tie up the entire plant. Monroe Cit Chicago, Oc ept by Fire. A special from Wash- ington, Ind., sa: Monroe City, 15 miles from here, is being swept by fire and many families are already home- less. The fire department of this city has been sent to the scene. Monroe City has a population of about 1,200. High Price for Cattle in Chicago. Chicago, Oct. 3.—Seven cents a pound was paid at the stock yards to-day for some extra fancy fat cattle fed in Ii- for live cattle since 1892 and the high- est October price since 18S4. Met a Horrible Death. Knobnoster, Mo., Oct. 3.—John Me- Coy, aged,St years, an employe of the Bancroft sawmill, south of this place, metaterrible death. He fell on the saw and was torn Into pieces.
