THE IRON SITUATION YESTERDAY.
Both Sides Resting And No Meeting in
Prospect--What a Member of the
Amalgamated Says.
UNSETTLED CONDITION OF AFFAIRS.

YOUNGSTOWN, May 26.-The receipt Of
the news here last night that the Conference
Committee of the manufacturers and the
workingmen at Pittsburg had failed to agree,
seemed to cast gloom over the city. The
workingmeu congregated on the streets and
talked the situation over. A sort of i'm
promptu meeting, led by the 6nishers, was
held on the street, and it was decided to
call a meeting of the Sixth district to be
held here on Saturday, and request the Con-
ference Committee Of the Amalgamsted As
sociation to withdraw all concessions offered
at the meeting, and strike for the present
$3.50 scale.
The big mills of Brown, Bonnen x Co.
are running full drive in all departments,
but will shut down everything on Saturday
except their two blast furnaces. Stock will
be at once taken, occupying two weeks
time. The manager said the future of the
mills would depend on the showing made by
the inventory, the mills being in the hands
of receiver, and not member of the
Western Iron Association. 1t is believed if
business is good they will be run at the re-
duction offered at the Pittsburg conference.
1t was this firm that first signed the present
scale and ended the last strike, much to
the chagrin Of the Plttsburg manufacturers.

CATHOLIC BAPTISM
Further Di.cu ,sed in the Debate
Upon the Resolution.
MINISTER'S SPEAK ON THE SUBJECT
And Several Amendments Offered, When,
On Motion of DR.. Brownson, of
Washington, Pa.
THE oLEMATTER FINALLY TABLED.

CINCINNATI, May 26.-Dr. G. P. Hays Of
Colorado, opened debate upon the Catholic
resolution. He said: "The plea is made
that the minimum of truth being retained,
the corruptions that overie it do not invalid
ate the minimum. five believe that there
is truth enough in this church we act incon.
sistently in sending missionaries
to South America and Mexico
to labor amongst the CItholics I"
He then spoke upon what baptism was, and
referred to the catechism and gospel of
Matthew as authority. He continued:
"The whole Of surroundings and circum.
stances show that there must be something
more than external. 1t must be seal as
well as sign. 1t was question of no
small importance which has been argued that
inasmuch as the Roman Catholics recognize
our baptism, therefore, we ought to theirs.
l want you to remember that the claim to
be God, diety, the claim for an inspira-
ton of the bible. If Paul could have gone
to Rome and preached Jesus Christ to be
worShipped beside Mercury and beside Mars
and Vulcan, he would have been
welcomed and his God into the Pantheon" !,
Rev. C. K. Burnley Of Sennett, N. Y, said:
I'VE are on verge of danger. l believe
that it is dangerous to pass this resolution.
We put into the hands Of the Roman Cstho.
lie priesthood and every devotee Of the Ro
man Catholic Church just the weapon they
have been looking for.
DR.. Worrall. OF New York, spoke of the
ability of pastors, as well as theological
professors and other learned men to decide
upon this subject. He was opposed to the
amendment and spoke of reasons he had
for favorirg the original resolution. In
speaking of the corruption of the Romish
church, he showed that retormers them
8 Ives did not hold that the Catholic church
was the church; that Luther had said she is
hopelessly spostate.
DR.. Alfred Yeoman offered the following
resolution:
Resolved, That it is the decision of the
General Assembly that its last deliverance
on the subject Of Romish baptism, leaving
the question of rebsptism to the discretion
of the session in which the question may
arise, does recognize the validity of such
baptism, while it does not enjoin upon the
session the admission of Roman Catholics
into their communions without rebaptism.
This assembly reaffirms the decision OF
1875 as its deliverance at this time. The
deci ion of 1875 is as follows: THAT the
decision ofthe question be left to the judg
ment of each church session, guided by its
principles governing the rules concerning
baptism as laid down in standards of our
church.
DR.. C. A. Dickey, of Philadelphia, would
ike to have offered another amendment,
but did not do so because two amendments
were already pending.
Or. J. J. Brownson, OF Washington, Pa,
moved 10 lay the whole matter on the table.
Carried unanimously. A new synod was
created, to he known as Synod of Northern
Dakots. Adjourned until tomorrow.

THE CROP OUTLOOK

AS Reported in the Farmers Revlew-The
Grain Outlook.
CHICAGO, May 26.-The Farmers Review
in its weekly summary of the crop outlook
will print the following in connection with
reports received up to May 23d, fairly
launched upon the growing season Of 1885,
every item ofcrop news at the present time
and in fact for the next three months, is OF
more than usual interest. Our detail
ed reports last week showed that
seeding was nearly finished in the
spring wheat belt that the outlook
Tor winter wheat is poor, and that slow
progress had been made with corn planting.
The present week will see all crops for the
growing season of 1885, in the ground.
As we approach the harvest of winter whea'
Se can see nothing at all in the general
situation by with we desire to change any Of
the statements made with regard to this i'm
p, rtaEt crop, and as we have said, we now
tpeat that the country does not yet
realize fully the widespread destruction
Of this crop. That every bushel Of spring
wheat nav in the ground will be needed
and that farmers will get good prices for it
we have not the slightest doubt. We hope
next week to be able to lay before our read
ers very full and detailed report Of the
wheat situation, both spring and winter, OF
the northwest.

Rain and Floods in Texas.

DALLAS, TEX, May 26.--Another terrific
rain prevailed throughout Texas Sunday
night. At Waco large portion of the city
was inundated, and about $4,000 worth Of
property destroyed. The rainfall is said TO
have been the heaviest known there for
three years, and the Brszos river is at high
water mark and rising rapidly. All rail
traffic is suspended, and fears for the four
large bridges at Waco, costing nearly ST.
600, 900, are entertained.
At Dallas Easements were flooded, and 9
number Of houses were struck BY lightning.
Indications favor more rain. If much more
falls great damage to growing grain will re-
