A Change of Tactics.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The Mills
people have got their heads together
and decided to substitute diplomacy
for kicking. They find more or less
dissatisfaction among those who voted
for Crisp on the final ballot over the
policy proposed relative to the tariff
and other house affairs, and believe if
the matter can be thrown into the
caucus they can control it. Word has
been passed around that the kicking
must cease, substituted with talk Of
harmony, and every question of tariff
and silver policy should be decided
by caucus. 1t is understood they
have counted voices and are convinced
of their ability to control the caucus
and will sign a call for caucus soon
after the assembling of congress.
Congress man Boatner says: In my
Judgment Speaker Crisp made polit-
ical mistake in rot placing Mill at the
head of the ways and means. Demo-
Gratis in congress expected it, and the
country generally anticipated it. The
result is the Republicans are laugh
ing at us, and we are apt to make our
selves ridiculous if we get into a fac
tional contention over what is already
done. AS the matter now stands the
speaker cannot displace Springer if he
wanted, and there is no prospect OF
Springer resigning, and therefore
nothing is left us to do but WORK to-
gether harmoniously.

UNIoNTowN, Oct. S.--[Special. Rev. c.
H. Smith, of the Christian Adyocate. occupied
the chair at the opening of the Pittsburg NJ.
Z. Conference this morning The time was
spent in the hearing of the different reports
OF the committees, among them being the
report of the committee on memorial exer-
cises in honor of the late Robert Hopkins
and Samuel Fl. Nesbit, which were con-
Quoted by William Lynch The commit
tee on superannuated members offered its re-
port Bishop Fowler and his cabinet spent
the entire day in the finishing up of the ap-
pointments, which will be announced next
Monday morning.
One of the most revered members of the
conference is Rev. Samuel Wakefield, D. D.
The venerable gentlemen is now in mis- ODD
year and is still strong, mentally and physl-
cally, often occupying the pulpits of his
brethren. Perhaps his eve is somewhat dim,
but his face has the freshness of one many
years younger. His ministerial life EN-
braces over 20 years, and all has been spent
in the counties of Western Pennsylvania.
In the many years of his pastorate he gave
attention to authorship, and various works
from his pen have been issued. His "Sys-
tenn of Theology" was standard for many
years. He was member of the Memorial
General Conference of 1874, that
witnessed the division of the Methodist
Episcopal Church on the slavery question,
and is one of the few members of that body
that still survive. a Democrat in political
life, he one or twice represented Westmore-
land county in the Legislature. Dr. Wake
field had few years since apr1vilege which
is granted to verv few ministers, that OF
officiating at the marriage of his great-grand-
daughter.
Another marked personality is the Rev.
Martin Luther Weekly, who resides in the
little mountain village of Berlin. He is a
year older than Dr. Wakefield. He is one
of the o1d-time abolitionists, and fought for
the freedom of the slave in the days when
it meant opposition from both church and
State.
There is an association among the minis
tiers, composed of those who took part in the
late war, known as the Veterans Associa-
tion. The Rev. L. MCGUIRE pastor of the
Fifth Avenue Church, Pittsburg, is Presi-
dent and Rev. B. F. Thomas is Secretary.
Last night they held a camp fire in the
Disciples Church. Speeches were made by
Revs. j. F. Core, c. w. Miller, B. F.
Thomas, NJ. Carol, J. f. Riley. T. Patter-
son, r. F. Mcclure, and B: c. Christy.
There is party of 80 former students of
the Allegheny College connected with the
conference. Last night they held BAN
quet at the West End Hotel and all had a
good time. The conference class of 1888 held
its annual meeting and elected Rev. G. d.
Crissman, President, and Rev. J. E. Gus
keep, Secretary. The annual banquet was
held this evening at the Summit House.

Shearon thought Baldwin would catch the
ball and waited so long between bases that
he was forced out at second. DOYLE had
scored in the meantime, and Young was
safe on first, but Cleveland could get no more
runs. For Pittsburg Miller got a base on
balls, and stole second. Hanlon struck out,
and Mack flied out Lally hit slow

HOW THEY FINISHED.
Standing of the League Clubs at the Wind
Up of the Season.

Up Oh tne SedsOn
The National League baseball season of
1891 ended yesterday after one Of the most
exciting struggles on record The finish
was so remarkable and exciting that doubt
less many statements were made relative to
conspiracy and unfairness that in calm mo-
ments will be discarded. The Bostons have
WOE the pennant fairly and they deserve
credit for it. OF course our sluggers landed
into last place yesterday and the fates are so
dead against them that they have not
chnncS to get out.
But as one gentleman remarked last even
ing that protested game at Chicago must be
thrown out and then we'll not go on record
as the absolute tailenders! 1t may now be
in order for PittsDurgerS to demand an in
veStiCation to see whether or not our team
has been fairly knocked into last place.
Financially the team has done better, that
is, they have commanded more money in
Pittsburg than any previous team has done
during season.
Certainly the result is discouraging one
to Anson and his Chicago colleagues. They
have made a noble fight and that defeat has
affected them is seen by their work of the
last day or two The following table shows
the standing of the clubs:

this morning began to remove the trees,

This Mccormick refused to do, saying that
Council had given the authority to remove
the trees and that they must come
down. Some talk was indulged in by Judge
Ewing and DR.. j. NJ. Ewing, his brother. 1t
was their intention to get out an injunction,
but the committee deadened the trees early
this morning and the injunction would have
