A few changes were made in the wording, and the committee's report was adopted4 after a short discussion. After the adoption of the constitution Rev. H. F. Merrill, chairman of the nomi nating committee, rcported,recommending that the same officers be continued In their official capacity until such time as the convention saw fit to elect new officers under the new constitution. The recom mendation was adopted. Report of the Board. The main portion of the forenoon was taken Tip with the report of the board of managers, which was read by George R. Varney, corresponding secretary. Fol lowing is a summary: Kindly mention is made of H. M. Clin ton, who died since last convention; Rev. Ray Palmer, who has gone to Chlllicothe, Mo., and Rev. A, J. Sturtevant, who has gone to California. The board held Its first meeting at The Dalles, 19 out of 35 members being present. George T. Ellis was elected president; George R. Varney was elected general missionary. Applica tion lor $12,000 from needy fields were con sidered. The sum of 59100 was appro priated toward support of 32 missionaries. At a meeting of the executive committee application for 5200 to complete The Dalles Church was indorsed. F. A. Agar was elected general missionary to serve two months. George R.Varney was after ward elected general missionary. The missionary society granted Oregon $W00 on condition that $2500 be raised, and the same terms for next year in place of $6000 irom them to $3000 from us. The 36 mis slonaries were reported stronger than be fore. C. B. Bailey, associational mission ary, had done "good work. Churches have been dedicated at The Dalles and at Burns. A parsonage has been built at Newberg. and a manse purchased at Burns. vFor repairs and improvements $130 Ohas been expended. The report con tinues: For current expenses, Improvements and be nevolence, our mission churches have raised f 15.0C5 56, or .$12 per resident member. Eight churches have contributed to the Home Mis sion Society, glvine $99 04, or 33 cents per resi dent member. Fourteen have contributed to foreign missions, giving $304 75, or 76 cents per resident member. Nine have contributed to the Publication Society, giving $41 03, or 9 f ents per resident member. Twenty have con tributed to othor benevolent objects, giving1 J852 95, or 70 cents per resident member. Thirty-six, or all. have contributed to the slate convention, giving $1614 59, or $1 25 per resi de nt member. The average amount per mem ber from the 114 churches in the convention Is $7 38 for all purposes, including Sunday school and young people's work, or $S 50 per resident member. The Dalles has raised $48 C9 per resident member. Arlington ha3 done almost as weji, $36 39 per resident member. How berg has raised $27 46 per resident member. From all sources in the state there have been received for state missions, as per the treas urer's report, $3066 40. To this the Home Mis sion Sooloty has added $6000, giving us $9068 40 for the support of our work. Our missionary appropriations have amounted to $8430 94, $74 SO .have been paid for printing the annual, $30 for office rent, $112 80 for in terest on our debt, and $18 85 for other ex penses. Thus It will be seen that we have not only employed 30 missionaries a larger number than ever before in the history of the conven tionand paid all of our expenses (which have been unusually large on account of the $100 voted, towards the moving expenses of the gen eral missionary and the expenses of his trip to the missionary conference at Denver), but have a balance of $399 01. We close the year with a decrease in our debt. A year ago we owed the Home Mission Society $1838 34, $1016 83 of which was on open account and $821 46 on note account. This has .been, increased by $112 80 of Interest and $8430 94 missionary appropriations, making our total liabilities to the society $10.382 08. To offset this we have credits of $626 89 sent tho society in cash, $2442 41 missionary receipts, and $6000 in the society's apportionment, or $6669 21 in all. We, therefore, owe tho sor ciety $1717 62 at the present time; but to apply on this we have about $200, thus leaving only about $1500 unprovided for. In the light of the needs of the state, what ought we to do? Of the 114 churches In co operation with the ponvention, only 15 are self-supporting and have pastors; 13 have pas tors, but receive missionary aid; 23 have reg ular but 'part-tiroe preaching and receive aid; 21 have regular but part-time preaching and Twelve no aid: while 42 have no regular preaching and are practically dead. At least 25 of these 42 churches are sufficiently alive and promising to make it worth while to spend money there, while probably 25 of the 44 churches with part-time preaching could prof itably use money enough to enable them to have all-time preaching. The next best thing is to put an associational missionary into each association to preach to these sleeping churches and to enter new fields. The report closed with a number of recommendations, among which was that the entire membership should be induced to give at least $1 to state missions. James F. Failing, treasurer, next re porten as follows: Collections from, churches over the state. $2446 91; total dis bursements. $2550 27; amount on hand, $236 36, The report was referred to the auditing committee, which will meet to day. CnnKCK Plenslns Excitement. A telegram from the American Baptist Home Mission Society in New York was next read by Dr. C. A. Wooddy, which gave the convention much cause for re joicing. The Home Mission Eoclety pledged itself to raise $1000 of the convention's debt of $1535, provided the balance was paid within 90 days.- The telegram also stated that S500 -would also be given as a special contribution for work In Portland, provided the convention added a like amount. The convention was at once the scene of pleased excitement, while from all over the auditorium came offers of help from the churches toward raising the amount. TJnder those conditions the president found it impossible to conduct business, and a short Intermission was granted for the purpose of the delegates agreeing upon the amount to be contributed by their respective churches. When the convention was again called to order tb& following contributions had been made: First Baptist. Portland. $150; Third Bap tist, $10; Oregon City, $25; Second Baptist, $25; McMinnvllle. $35; Pendleton, $10; Oak land, $10; Grant's Pass, $10; Baker City, $50; Dillard. $50; Immamiel, $10; Roseburg, $25; Midctrtton, $5; Albany, $15; Calvary, Portland, $10; Brownsville, $10; Park Place, $10; Grass Valley, $5; Independence, $10; Dallas, $5; Mount ZIon, $5; Pleasant Home, $25; Siayton, $5; Swedish conference, $10; Astoria, $10; Calvary, The Dalles, $10; Norwegian work, $5; Fossil, $10; Monta villa, $10; Mount Tabor, $5; Harrisburg, $5; Springfield, $5; Newberg, $5; Medford, $10; Mrs. Kay, $5; Corvallis, $5; Dayton, $10; Mayville, $5; Weston, $5. The total amount raised was $630, which, with tht society's gift, frees the convention from debt. With t.e announcement of the amount someone started "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow," and the convention immediately caught up the refrain until the auditorium rang with the song. A vote of thanks was 'then' extended to"' the society for Its liberality, and the con vention adjourned for luncheon in the lecture-room. Afternoon Session. Promptly at 1:30 President Hunsaker took the chair, and the convention came to order. The nominating committee re ported as follows i President A. J. Hunsaker. Vice-president W. W. Brooks. Recording secretary L. W. Riley. Treasurer J. (ft Failing. Historical secretary J. H. Beaven. Auditors C. F. Lewis, J. W. Burgy. For board of managers To serve one year. Rev. R. McKillop, Rev. W. P. El more. President Frank Strong, O. M. Richmond; to serve two years. Rev. G. F. Ellis. Rev. J.'H. Beaven, S. C. Miller, H. F. Merrill; to serve three years, Rev. Alexander xlackburn, Rev. L. W. Riley, Arthur Conklin, W. G. Smith. This re port was adopted without change, and the new officers introduced. New ministers of the denomination were then introduced. They were: Rev.'L. W Riley, McMinnvllle; Rev. J. U. Mount, Fossil, -Rev. J. Tonkins, Mayville; Rev. J. E. Magulre,- Lebanon; Rev. G. A. Learn, Montavilla and 'Mount Tabor; Rev. A. G. Miller, acting pastor of Second Baptist Church, Portland; Rev.- H. E. Palmer, member of First Church, Portland; Rev. W. L. Whlrrie. Stayton, and Rev. Mr. Green, Eugene. The discussion of the report of the- board was opened by President Ellis, and Mr. A, Conklin. Others gave five-minute talks on the subject. The general impression of the report was ttiat it was complete and concise. Oregon was regarded as a fine field for missionary work, and the results of the year's work, as shown by the report, were considered satisfactory. It was urg-ed by the speakers, however, that greater effort be made in this direc tion, as there were many places in the state as yet not reached. Dr. C. A. Wooddy next read a paper, mainly statistical, on "Oregon In the Light of the Last Census." He gave fig ures to show that the Baptist denomina tion had increased almost twice as fast as the population of Oregon. Dr. Wooddy also showed that, in the number of churches, the denomination had Increased more than 40 per cent in the last 10 years. This growth was regarded as very satis factory. Mention was made in the paper of the relative strength of the Baptist churches in Oregon towns wlthregard to population. Following the discussion this paper called forth. Rev. Robert Cairns spoke on "A Spiritual Church the Force for Evan gelization." The session then adjourned until evening. The Woman's Baptist Home Mission Society will open this morning at 9 o'clock. BEAT. MASKED FOOTPAD. Eugene A. Clem Strikes Robber and Dodges a Ballet. A highwayman, wearing a mask and carrying a revolver tried his best to hold up Eugene A. Clem, a mining broker, near East Twenty-elxth and Division streets last night, but got nothing for his pains. About 200 yards from his house Mr. Clem met the highwayman, and the latter presented his revolver and said: "Hands up," in the usual style. It hap pened at a dark part of the road, but Mr. Clem with his umbrella struck the rob ber and then quickly turned to run. The chagrined footpad fired one shot, which just grazed his victim. Indeed the pow der burned a portion of Mr. Clem's head. But the robber quickly disappeared. Mr. Clem hurried home and got out his double-barreled shotgun and started after tho robber, .but .could not find him. W. N. Mitchell, of 331 Clackamas street, reported to the police yesterday that a masked footpad carrying a revolver held him un near his home Tuesday night and robbed him of 35 cents.

Tonight a vivid reproduction of a real battle will take place on Multnomah Field. Real soldiers will participate, and real powder will be used, and tho realism of the whole affair will be startling.. The battle of Marllllo will be refought, but instead of the deadly bullets used at the original battle, only blank cartridges will be fired. They will make as much noise as the real thing, and the rattle of musketry will be just as startling, but the whistle of the rllle balls will bo miss ing. Flashes of fire will leap out from muzzles of Krags and Spring-fields, and the volley-firing will be thrilling. The soul-stirring bugle calls will resound above the cannons' crash, and the mid night alarm will be shown as it really was when the Second Oregon was at tacked at midnight. The Spanish-American War veterans will march onto Multnomah Field this evening, and blvouack for the night as they did that night In far-off Luzon. They will dispatch their frugal soldier supper and after taps lie down to sleep. ' At midnight the Filipinos, represented by a battalion of the Oregon National Guard, will attack the camp of the Oregon volun teers, and there will be a fierce engage ment The enemy wllL-be repulsed, and the spectators can see just how It was done in modern warfare. The veterans who take part in this battle were the same young men who defeated the Filipinos at the battle of Marillo, and they will therefore be back playing at what was once a serious oc cupation. Biggest Crowd Yet. Without the big five-acre Multnomah Field the Carnival committee would have had to turn away many of Its guests, for the great Exposition building, big and roomy as it is, with all its annexes, would not have held the crowds of people that j came, it was tne largest crawa mat ever assembled at any fair or exposition In the Pacific Northwest, and Its numbers were estimated at from 15,000 to 20,000. And It was a happy, satisfied crowd, too. In Its ranks was Dan McAllen, the vet eran merchant, who Is always identified with public enterprises, and he summed it up like this: "The Carnival committee is entitled to the greatest praise for the grand results of Its work. The Exposition Is a great j public enterprise, and it is being admira bly handled. It is doing good for the en tire Northwest." The Interior attractions of the Carnival yesterday were kept fully up to their usual high standard, and every feature was bright and breezy, and the balmy weather added to the general pleasure. Visitors from all over the Northwest at tended the Carnival and Inspected Port land's big stores, shopped, visited the picturesque parks and took long rides In the open street-cars, far out Into the suburbs, and generally enjoyed their visit. Puget Sound cities were well rep resented and their people expressed them selves as well pleased with what they saw. They all spoke of a pleasant and expeditious trip, and said that the North ern Pacific Railway had done the hand some thing by them in granting them such a low special rate to see the Carnival and to visit Portland. People Are Pleased. From the time the Carnival doors opened, at 1:30 yesterday afternoon, until the closing hour of 5, a steady stream of visitors promenaded through the Expo sition building and Inspected the mag nificent exhibits of the agricultural, hor ticultural, forestry, fishery and mining departments. The salmon hatchery received marKed attention, and the Interest taken in it was general. Multnomah Falls, the Mu sic Hall lagoons, and other scenic features were a surprise to the visitors, and addei color to the assertion that the Carnival was being conducted on a larger scale than ever before. In the evening every street-car dropped Its large living load at the doors of the Exposition building, and the vast struc ture soon filled up. The varied programme was well planned, and a joyous feeling was In the air. ------ MONUMENT FUND BUTTON BOOTH. I ' ; X 4. i. i, A'A'iaBaiHir o;. N'!'1('i H?-X--Vs ' ''??? '(, OK.

The numbers Included De Koven's grand production, "Oh, Promise Me," which "was rendered as a trombone solo by Mr. Whan, and also many classical selections of world-wide renown. The Alpine warblers, Novello, the con tortionist; All Zada, the magician, all con tributed their share toward an evening's enjoyment. The wonderful polyscope gave its marvelous reproductions of Pres ident McKinley's last speech, and of his funerals, and held the audience breathless with wonder at the great strides made in modern mechanism. All these features are repeated every evening, with new at tractions likely to be added at any mo ment. The amusement committee is act ive and efficient, and well sustains its reputation.

Probably the most Interesting night of the Carnival will be Friday, when the pupils of our public schools will be seen in a number of drills and various physi cal exercises. This is their first public ap pearance since that marvelous exhibition given at the Armory over two years ago. Physical Director Krohn will personally conduct all drills, and some very pretty vorlc will be seen. Last Friday the first mass practice drill occurred, and Mr. Krohn expresses himself very well sat isfied with the showing his pupils made. There will be three separate drills, the first an indoor club drill by .girls from the Portland High School and pupils from the eighth and ninth grades of the pub lic schools. This will be followed by marching exercises, for which a selected number of boys and girls were chosen j from one of the largest schools. A calis thenic drill by several hundred little tots frpm the lower grades will conclude the programme. The closing number will probably excite the greatest Interest, owing to the extreme youth of the chil dren and the number participating. A basket-ball game will probably be played during the intermission between drills, which will, be a pleasing feature, espe cially for the' children. The High School girls have consented to put a team in the - ----- --- 0"0 field and Mr. Krohn is negotiating wjth several school teams to play them a game on that night. There will undoubtedly be the biggest crowd that night that has yet attended the Carnival, as the school pupils and their parents will all attend, as well as members of the Multnomah Club, whose committee was Instrumental in introducing the feature at the fair. There will also be a cakewalk Friday evening, and another on Saturday even ing, when the very successful Carnival will wind up with a grand display of fire works. TODAY'S PROGRAMME. Afternoon.

Synopsis The Second Oregon, command ed by Captain Dunbar, marches into camp, pitches tents, prepares supper, reveille Is sounded, lights out and regi ment retires for the night. The attack ing party, commanded by Captain Mc Donell, in ambush In the grove on the hillside, makes a midnight attack on the sleeping camp, and the battle is. on. Note Many of the participants In the sham battle tonight were In the real en gagement that made the Second Oregon famous. DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL Judge Aitken, of Union, So HoldK the Cnratlve Acts of 1001. Judge Aitken, of the State Circuit Court, has recently decided in Union County that the curative portion of the act of 1901, relating to the sale of real estate here tofore bid In by counties for delinquent taxes, is unconstitutional. The decision is far-reichlng and is of importance, as this law applies to the whole state and has been the subject of much adverse 'criticism by lawyers. There were two injunction cases, Mc Connell vs. Deering et al and State Land Board vs. Deering et al.: and two man damus cases, Finn vs. Deering and Coch ran vs. Deering. The mandamus cases sought to compel the Sheriff to issue deeds to the land bid in at the tax sale, while the Injunction cases were brought to restrain the issuing of such deeds and to test the legality of the sale and the constitutionality of the law under which the sale was made. Demurrers were- filed in each of the several cases and the rul ing of the court is upon these demurrers, the one decision covering all the cases. In one of these cases, McConnell vs. Deering, the land was not assessed to the owner and was Included with other property and the tax carried out in a lump sum, and the court says these two defects are fatal and necessarily render the as sessment void, being jurisdictional and not affected by. the curative act of 1S01. In the. other case. State Land Board vs. Deering, the court says the sufficiency of the complaint will largely depend upon the validity of the act of 1901, page 71, which act is amendatory of an act of 1S93, page 2S. entitled "to authorize County Judges and clerks of school districts to bid in property sold for taxes." Whether that title would b sufficient to author ize the Legislature also to provide for the sale and conveyance by the county may be questionable, but the court thinks it might possibly include it. But the act of 1901 has also an additional clement,, that of curing defects in the assesment and sale of land, the title being "To amend an act entitled an act to author ize County Judges and clerks of school districts to bid in property sold for taxes, approved February 20, 1893, and to pro vide for the sale of the same." The court is clearly of tho opinion that the curative part of this statute is wholly beyond and outside of the title of the act and is entirely different matter: that the title is not broad enough to Include it; that that part of the act would be void; and that without this curative part of the act the whole proceeding of the sale Is void, if there were no return by the Sheriff of the delinquent tax list as pro vided by law as a basis upon which the warrant could issue. The court is alco of the op'nlon that the' Legislature cannot by a curative act dis pense with the regularity of a warrant under a statute providing for the same, as such warrant is jurisdictional; neither can it provide for some other lorm of warrant to have ex post facto effect. The assessment being jurisdictional, the court also holds that a retroactive statute can not change it. Soldiers and Whisky. Two soldiers named F. Wipping3 and C. C. Beck started to raise a drunken dis turbance yesterday around Third and Burnside streets, and were arrested by Policeman Roberts. A citizen. W. Dug gan, interfered, and said he was not go ing to see the glorious defenders of our country arrested, if he could help it. Duggan was also arrested, charged with interfering with an officer. Stranger Does Lihtnln? Change Act Several residents around Chapman and Main streets were treated to a lightning change of costume by an unknov.m man yesterday.
