BIG PARTY MEN HEARD.
The Democratic Carnival at Dallas Proved
Veritahls Feast of tory-Doilar
Dinner Last Night.

Dallas, Tex, Oct 3.-Last nights
and this mornings 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 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
crowds were larger to-day and interest
was heightened by the programmes of
oratory prepared for their entertain
ment.
The dollar dinner at the Auditorium
tonight closed the carnival. Much was
expected of this in point of attend
ance and enthusiasm and it was fit
ting wind-up of the two-days' celebra-
ton. Mr.. Bryan touched on trusts.

London, Oct. ga dispatch from
Durham, Natal, announces that the
Beers are expected to take the ag-
gressiye at once. The most alarming
rnmors are afloat there respecting their
Intentions.
Among the startling reports told to-
day was a bulletin from Natal to the
effect that the Beers and British had
dashed at Dundee and that 81 English
soldiers were killed. According to the
bulletin, the Beers followed up their
advantage and captured the place,
holding the city and the surrounding
country. The announcement concluded
by saying that reinforcements of Brit
ish cavalry had started from Charles
town.
The receipt of this bulletin caused
great excitement, but this was subse-
quently allayed by the authoritative
statement that the report was untrue.
Nevertheless, there are good grounds
for stating that all during the morn
ing government circles thought it pos
sible that fight had taken place.
It is believed that the Boer command
ant, Gen. Joubert, is in camp eight
miles from the Natal border, with Z, 600
armed men.
The Pail Mall Gazette prints dis
patch from Johannesburg which was
sent by way of Cape Town, stating that
the position of the British troops is
critical. Mismanagement by the war
Office is obvious, and unless strong re-
endorsements are sent reverses are GER
tain. There is open treason in Cape
Colony, where there are only two
battalions of British troops. The
plight of the poorer classes of Uit'
landers is pitiable.

No Re,,rion Taught in Schools.

Yokohama, via Victoria, B. c., Oct.
3.-The Japanese government, having
decided to keep its system of educa-
ton 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
