MEET AS WAS ANNOUNCED.
Date of Summon insr Parliament Has
Not Been Settled.
Believed that the Wires Have Been
Cut or Censorship Established in the
Transvaal The Calling Out of Re
serves Proved a Fake.
London, Oct. 2. Rumors are persist
ent ithat the Transvaal has declared
war, but no confirmation is obtainable
The announced intention of the Brit
lish cabinet to meet tomorrow has been
Jepparently reconsidered. It is now
jstaited that the meeting1 depends largely
on developments in the Transvaal. The
date for sunlmoning parliament has not
heen definitely settled, though it is ex
pected to occur October 19.
The remarkable absence of news from
South Africa leads to the belief that
there has been widespread cutting of
telegraph wires or a censorship estab
lished. There is no Transvaal news
today. Nor is there anything to indi
cate that the authorities a.t Pretoria
have a desire to come to terms peace
fully with Great Britain. Had the
Boers not determined to fight it is
thought they would have 6ent some
temporizing reply to Great Britain's
despatch. All the hanging back seems
on Great Britain's side.
PARIS PRICES DECLINE.
Paris, Oct. 2. The rumor that the
Transvaal has declared war against
England caused prices on the bourse to
decline slightly.

ON THE SQUARE
IN DALLAS
Largest Crowd in the Citv
Yesterday She Ever
Held
Democratic Leaders From
Many States Present.
Bryan Addressed Immense
Audience on Race Track,
But Made His Big Speech to State La

EX-GOVERNOR STONE, OF MIS

HIS TALK AND PROCLAIMS FOR
FREE SILVErt.
Dallas, Oct. 2 - The larger crowd
Dallas ever he'd v as in town t.-irjy fcr
the opening of the democratic national
carnival. Messrs. Bryan, Stone, Bel
mont and Sulzer and twenty other
democratic leaders from outside the
state were cheered to the echo. Bryan
addressed fully 20,000 persons on the
race track. His speech was brief and
mainly complimentary. He made his,
big speech, to the state labor mass
meeting tonight. Ex-Governor StO'ne,
of Missouri, addressed the carnival thi
morning. He said;
-BIMETALLISM.
"I believe the Chicago platform of
1896 will be, amd should be reaffirmed.
This should be done both as a matter
of principle and politics. When I say it
should be done as- a matter of politics,
I mean that when the subject is con
sidered from that level, which is the"
lowest level from Which it should be
considered; I believe the party Would
lose more tharf? it would- gain by. je4
treating from, iS position If our pArtj
should lower its colors and abandon the
figbJt for bimetallism, we might win
back those who left us on that issue
in 1896, but we lose more than we
would gain. But no matter what we
might gain or loe-andpver and above
all consideration of temporary - ex-.
pediency, rises the question: What is
right? Is the free use of both gold and
silver as primary money best for the
whole people? Or, will the general wel
fare be best promoted h- the use of
gold alone? I do not ask whether the
welfare of certain special interests
will be hest promoted by the one policy
or the other, but whether, all things
considered, not for a day, or under
special conditions, but for all the years
and under all conditions, the general
welfare will be best promoted by the
one policy or the other, by monometal
lism or bimetallism ? I would do no
useless or unavoidable injury to any
one legitimate interest, great or small,
corporate or individual. I would seek
rather with wise conservatism to guard
and preserve the rights of all.
' AS TO TRUSTS?.
"The tendency and purpose of a
trust is to limit if not destroy competi
tion, and to' create monopoly. The in
dustrial trust is justified by its advo
cates on the theory that it lessens the
risk of investment, reduces the cost of
production and cheapens commodities
to consumers. We are told that the
risk of investment is lessened by di
minishing or removing the danger of
ruinous competition. I think there is
little room for argument there. It
might well be admitted that there is
less risk to investment when the in
vestor is given a monopoly than when
he is obliged to face competition. And
it may be that the competition does
run at such a tremendous pace as to
make investment hazardous; and when
ever that happens it is unfortunate and
usually unnecessary. This is not apt
to occur, however, except in cases
then some business is overdone, and the
