which showed conclusively that re-
vision of the confession of faith is de-
sired by the church, yesterday de-
feated the amendment dismissing the
whole subject offered Thursday by
Rev. George D. Baker, of Philadel-
phia. The assembly decided by an
overwhelming majority to continue
consideration Of the great question,
after two days of debate, during
which leading opponents of the Pres
byterian doctrine throughout the
country thoroughly analysed the
creed and gave their reasons for their
positions regarding the subject. At
the opening of the afternoon session
the assembly decided to vote on the
amendment at 4:30 o'clock and
speeches were limited to ten minutes.
The time, however, was extended in
order to give number Of commits
sioners who wished to be heard an
opportunity of speaking.
The principal addresses Of the day
were made by Rev. DR.. John Dewitt,
in the morning, and Rev. DR.. Charles
A. Dickey, closing the debate. DR..
Dewitt favored dismissal, declaring
that though there might be slight
divergence OF opinion on the conres-
sion, the church was united on the
word of God.
DR.. Dickey took q decided stand
against dismissal. He said that as
the question of revision was not be.

ASTEAMER WRECKED
The Baltimore Breaks In Two and
Sinks of Au Sable, Mich.
TWELVE PERSONS WERE DROWNED.
Tug Columbia and Two Lighters Caught
In the Storm-The Lighters Lost and
Six Men Missing Other Vessels
Wrecked,

BAY City, Mich, May 25.-A special
to the Tribune from Tawas City says:
A terrific northeaster prevailed all
yesterday and Thursday night. The
steamer Baltimore, coal laden, broke
in two and sank off Au Sable yester-
day morning before daylight. Twelve
persons were drowned, including a
woman and boy.
The tug Columbia of Detroit, with
government steam dredge and two
loaded lighters for the 500, was
caught in the storm. The lighters
and dredge were lost, parting their
six-inch cable. The crew Of six men
is missing. While searching yester-
day for her tow the Columbia picked
up two men from the Baltimore on
raft. They were almost dead and
were taken to East Tawas. Another
man was on the raft, but was lost,
despite the efforts to save him.
The schooner Montmorency, which
went aground on the Charity islands
several days ago, has gone to pieces.
Her crew left her Thursday. The
Tawas life-saving crew made trip
to her at midnight and rowed IS
miles in the storm against the wind,
but found no one aboard. The Co.
lumbia picked up her dredge last
night, but the lighters and the ex-
pensive machinery they carried and
the six men are still missing.
The schooner A. Bradley went
ashore in northeast gale off Port
Washington yesterday afternoon.
The Milwaukee life-saving crew was
notified and went to the wreck with
a big wrecking tug. After consid-
cradle exertion the six members of
the crew were rescued and brought
to this city, though the schooner is
an utter wreck. She broke in two
on the rocks, under the pounding Of
the waves, and her crew were hanging
to the rigging nearly exhausted when
the life-saving crew arrived.

posts while the canteen was open as

GENERAL TRADE SITUATION.
Fine Outlook for the Country's Crops--Big
Yield Of Wheat Expected In Kansas
Iron and Steel Quiet.

New York, May 25.-Bradstreet's
says; The general situation is still
largely favorable one, the primary
encouraging feature being the fine
outlook for the country's crops. Cen
eral distribution, retarded hitherto
by the backward spring, has been
stimulated by warm, sunny weather.
Industrial conditions head the list Of
disturbing features, but confidence
in conservatism and good counsel is
widespread, and the effect upon gen.
eral business exerted by the largest
number of men idle for several years
past has been apparently minimized.
The reports as to quiet trade in
iron and steel come from the east,
where demand for pig iron is of a
hand-to-mouth character. No spe.
cial activity is looked for, however.

sumers are well supplied.
Such unanimity as to good crop re.

period of the year. Much was made
in speculative grain circles of dry
weather at the northwest, but re.
cent rains have placed that section
in favorable condition as regards
the spring wheat. From the winter

being received from Kansas, which

AN INDIAN PROTEST.
A Delegation Of Redskins Calls at

AGAINST OPENING The KIOWA LANDS.

Washington, May 20. Several
Kiowa Indians, Lone Wolf, Delos X.
Lone Wolf, White Buffalo and Ko-
Koy-Tandle, called on Acting Secre-
tary of the Interior Ryan yesterday
and protested against the opening
of the Kiowa lands to settlement.
They represented that the so-called
Jerome treaty Of agreement Of 1892
with the Kiowa, Comanche and Arapa-
hoe tribes was without effect; that it
provided for the sale of 100000 acres
of their lands at price greatly be-
low their real value and for the al
lotmcnt of other lands in quantities
too small for the support of the al
lottces in view of the quality Of the
lands. They filed a formal protest
alleging that the Kiowa, Comanche
and Arapahoe tribes are unanimously
opposed to the treaty; that the sigma
lures to 1T were procured by fraud,
misrepresentation and falsehood and
that three-fourths OF the adult male
members of the tribe have never
signed 1t.
The Indians asked for the withhold
Ing Of the presidential proclamation
opening the lands until congress
again has time to consider it, con-
tending that the proclamation can
be deferred until February next.
