To the utter surprise of all the fami-

10000 delegates and visitors have
been attracted to this city by the Ma
tonal Colored Baptist convention.
which opened here today at Cotton
Shed No. 6, at the foot of Commerce
street, in the old navy yard. and which
will continue until Tuesday of next
week. The convention was originally
called to meet at Los Angeles, Cal,
but the place was changed on account

not have enough hotel accommoda-
tions for so many colored people, the
committee Of the local colored Bap-
lists was compelled to rent a number
Of vacant housse and fit them up as
temporary hotels.

TEST PISTOLS FOR THE ARMY.
One Company Holds a Monopoly Of
Automatic Pattern.

Springfield, Mass. Sept. 12.-The
tition to determine what re-
volver and what automatic pistol
shall be adopted by the United States
government for use by the army, will
be opened at the United States armory
In this city this afternoon. The chief
of ordnance has decided the ammuni-
ton, which is a cartridge of AS cali
Der, with a jacketed lead bullet,
weighing 230 grains. There will be
two types of the same cartridge, one
using 500 and the other 7.02 grains
of smokeless powder. The cartridge
for the automatic pistol will have no
rim, as the shell is extracted by the
recoil of the weapon. The revolver
cartridge will have a rim to take the
ejector of the weapon.
1t is stated that Smith & Wesson
will enter the competition with a re-
volver OF special design for army use.
All manufacturers can enter both
kinds of weapons, but as the Colt
company of Hartford is the only man
ufacturer of automatic pistols in this
country and the weapon adopted must
be made in the United States, the COM
pany has a monopoly on that contract.

Weston, Sept. l2.-The Blue Noun
after cutting about a million and a
half feet of lumber since June l. The
actual running time was 81 days, and
the mill maintained an average OF
nearly $4,000 feet daily. After the
machinery is stopped winter logging
will begin.
A 50-foot extension is being added
to the new Weston hay warehouse by
Messrs, Mackenzie and Ashworth.
They find that the building is not large
enough for the amount of hay that
will be stored in the future.
The members of the Weston wo-
mems Christian Temperance Union,
and others in sympathy with its work
have arranged for a protest against
the recent action of the Weston city
council in granting a license to c. NJ.
Walters to conduct a saloon in said
city. Several indictments have been
found against Walters some of whihc
are still pending. for the violation of
state and municipal laws in the SELL
ing Of liquor.
Further, since it has been publish
ed that the prosecuting attorney of
Umatilla county has suspended action
on some of these charges on condition
that said Walters should go out of
business, 1t is urged that the attorney
take action at once on said suspended
charges. They declare that this action
is taken for the good of the CITY. and
Will make hard fight to keep Wal
ters out of the saloon business in that
