RICHMOND, Va, May 1.-THE Southern
Baptist convention met in annual session
here today in the First Baptist church,
and was called to order by Prof. Lewis B.
Ely, of Missouri, first vice-president, the
Rev. Dr. P. Fl. Well, the president, having
died in the interim since the last conven-
tiou.
On the call of states i was found that
10 delegates were present.
The report OF the home mission board
was then presented. 1t describes it's
work as heipS never before so pro-
gressive. This is shown both by
the increase of the receipts and the
amount of work it has done. The report
says the needs of the board are greater
than ever. The work in Cuba must be
largely increased. That among the for
eign population of the south, and colored
people, is just begun. The number of
accessions to the church in the home mis-
sion in the field were 1876. and the cost of
the work was sl77,953. The total issues Of
the Sunday school publications will soon
reach 500, G00O00
The report Of the board Of foreign mis-
sions was then submitted. IL commends

the cause, and says that Christ

enlisted heart and hand in giving the
gospel to the perishing. There are almost
as many women as men in the foreign
missions of the world. The report goes
into voluminous details OF the work of the
missions in Mexce. South America.

gratifying statistic and showing success

MONTANA CATTLE MATTERS

HELENA, Montana, May Nv. A.
Carter, OF Miles City, leading cattle
grower of eastern Montana, is in The city

The ranges OF eastern Montana, he said,
were badly depleted by the winters of 1856

young cattle. Stockmen are anxious to
replenish the ranges, but are meeting with
a great obstacle. The only source
from which cattle"can be procured at
prices that will make the bushes profit
able, j. in Northern Texas. and Montana
has established quarantine against cattle
from Texas. The only way these amin a i
can be brought into Montana Is by driving
them over the trail, which requires several
months. and wears out the cattle so that
they do not recover before winter. Stock
men wish TO purchase Texas cattle. and
have them shipped to Fort Fetterman.
