There was a_lively setto between Mr. Reed and Mr. Bland, after which the com- mittee rose, whereupon Mr. Pence, rising to a question of privilege with reference to the statements made by Messrs.

Bills were also introduced: By Lowls, au- thorizing cities of second class to assess special taxes against adjoining property for sewers and tiling, and by Perrin, limiting the application of the law authorizing the voting of taxes in aid of railroads. A long discussion followed on a motion by Ellis to reconsider the vote by which the bill to punish husbands for deserting their wives passed. The motion was finally tabled.

A, J. Reach, Philadelphia hris V der Ahe, St. Louis, and John T Brush, Cincinnati, went into session at the Hoffman house, and discussed the proposed changes In the rules. In their report it is understood that they proposed an additional rule by which, if it is adopted, batsman an be declared out cn a “trapped’ ball when men are on bases. Among those at the meeting are Nick Young, John T. Brush of Cincinnati, James A. Hart and A. C. Anson, Chicago; A. J Reach and John A.

W. Kerr, president; P. L. Aute vice president; \W. J. Tener, treas- urer rank Balliet, secretary. The regular order of business was sus- pended and the consideration of the amend ments to the rules was begun at onc The first matter taken up was the prevention of the changing of the time for the calling of the regular championship games. It was de cided the time of a championship gam should not be changed more than thirty minutes. This was brought hout by the action of the New York, which last summer made the Washington play at half past 1 o'clock, so as to give the grounds to the Yale-Harvard clubs at 4 p. m. The playing rules were next taken up and old rules 2 to 10 were stricken out and a new series adopted. The rules made the forma- tion of the diamond almost accurate to the one-thousandth of an inch, with the result that a civil engineer will be secured to lay out the diamond. Section 2 of rule 12 was amended to read as follows: “For each champlonship game two balls shall be fur- nished by the home club to the umpire for use. When the ball in play is batted out of the grounds, out of sight of the umpire, the other ball shall be used. As often as one of the two in use shall be lost, a new one must be substituted, so the umpire shall at all times after the game begins have two balls for use.
