adhere to the policy of allctting lands where the
same can be legally done and the condition oil
the Indians is such as to warrant it.

The recommendations for legislation for the

has been 50I4 an increase of 74S over the preced-

Special to the Appeal
CHATTANOOGA, October 26.-The eonven-
ton spent the morning session in consid-
ering three important reports-one on the
general subject of education and two on
ministerial education. The latter showed
that there were over 100 students in at
tendance at the Southern Baptist Theolog-
ical Seminary at Louisville, KY, with the
prospect of the number swelling to $50
before the close of the session. At tie
two colleges in Tennessee there are thirty
young ministers, and in the Southern Bap-
tist colleges over 5OO
These reports elected much vigorous
discussion, which was participated in by
more than twenty of the delegates.
DR.. J. T. Tichenor and DIR. G. A. Nun
nerly, of the Southern Baptist Convention,
arrived to-day, and a rich treat is antici-
pated in the addresses these distinguished
gentlemen are to deliver tonight.
At the afternoon session, DR.. Hillsman
presented the report on foreign missions.
The report set forth that foreign missions
originated with the Baptists of England,
and this work of Southern Baptists, en-
bracing fields in Africa, China, Italy,
Mexico and South America, is in most
prosperous condition. SiXty-eight mis-
sionaries are at work, at an annual cost OF
5000, and 100000 is asked for the next
years work.

AZTEC WINS

The prospect for carrying out the pro-
gramme announced for yesterday evening
seemed to be very dim in the forenoon.
The weather had turned considerably
warmer, and rain was slowly falling about
noon. The clouds however, did not look
so dense as TO preclude all hope, and the
train leaving for the race track shortly be-
fore noon was crowded. The number at
tending was smaller than ON previous
days, though the betting seemed to be
equally as lively, and the pool men were
doing good businessJ The track was
much too heavy for fast time, but not in a
dangerous condition. To a casual observer
the grounds at the beginning OF the races
presented much the same appearance as
on former days, with the music, the tally.
no and its fair occupants, the lively pool;
and the grand stand, upon which were
much larger number of ladies than on the
day before. The programme was a very
interesting one, and on account of the
steeplechase, which was an extrl
attraction, great many were pres
ent who do not care for the othei
running races. Just after the first race
rain began falling, dismal drizzle, which
seemed 10 penetrate every nook and cor
ner of the grounds, in or out Of cover
In the open the bOokmakers sat i'll thcil
stalls under umbrellas. Many of thosC
whose business kept them on the track
wore rubber coats buttoned up to the chin
and the evening was as disagreeable as il
could possibly have been. Later on tn,
stalls were moved in under cover and tho
scene around them was perfect crush
Very few left the grounds, and the pro
gramme went on without interruption
from first 10 last. There was a murmur o
satisfaction when, while the horses werC
being prepared for the last race, the sky
was spanned by gorgeous rainbow, the
rain ceased and the sun came out, setting
brightly. The air grew colder at once anC
the rain ceased.
