Proceedings of Second Days Session et
 National Convention.
 Austin, Tex, Sept. 15.-The features of the second days session of the Ma tional Colored Baptist Convention was the report of the workings of the homo and foreign missionaries. Rev. L. e. Jordan of Louisville, Ky, who is Sec retary of the National Baptist Foreign Mission Board, reports that the board has collected for its foreign mission work during the past twelve months $11,745 and expended $11,1S2.
 The Secretary reported on his recent trip to the field and said that the na~ tives were suffering many cruelties at the hands of the Belgians.
 T am sorry to say that few mission aries who labor among the natives of South Africa really look upon them as equals. I found but one missionary who did not take up most of the time in belittling the natives and speaking of them in a way that left me to believe that they are working among them for what they can get from the boards which have employed them"
 There Are thirty-four missionaries employed in this work in the West In dies, Dutch Guinea and Dutch South South Africa.
 Delegates arrived today from New York, Pennsylvania. Kentucky and Tennessee. and more were expected to be in tonight.
