KNOXVILLE, Aug. ll.-Dick Drummond,
the assassin of Private William Loughery
at Briceville. Monday night, was taken
from his clearinghouse and hanged from
high railroad trestle near that village.
The deed is supposed to have been commit
ted by a number of Fort Anderson SOL
diers who were comrades of the murdered
private. After the lynching Drummond
was left hanging to the trestle until morn
ing, when his body was cut down and the
coroners inquest held, which reported
death at the hands of unknown persons.
Miners Threaten the Military.
The affair created the greatest excite
ment in the mining districts, and many
were the threats made against the soldiers.
The evidence against Druumond was OBJ
tanned by the striuging up of miner
named Elkins, who, to save himself from
death at the hands OF the soldiers, di-
vulged the whole story, which implicated
Drummond and miner named Moore, the

He Is Dropped Member of the Rules
Committee.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE announce
ment by Speaker Crisp of the committee
on rules, just before the adjournment of
the house, created considerable surprise.
Up to that time not a single intimation
had been mfde of the intention of Crisp to
supplant Mcmillan with Outhwaite, and
when the change was comprehended there
was general inquiry: what does it mean.
What was the occasion for it?" Many
were the theories propounded as answers.
No one was more surprised than Mcmillan
himself WHEEL he learned the fact. In the
confusion that prevailed at the time he
did not catch the names as they were read,
and it was not until Reed walked over to
his seat to SIX why his name had been
dropped that he knew he was no longer
one VI the "big five"
To a reporter for the United Press Nc
MILAN said lie did not care to discuss the
matter-it would not be seemly nor courte.
Gus for him to do so. The speaker was
charged with the duty of organizing the
committees of the house and he was not to
be criticised for his intelligent and patri-
otto discharge of that duty. There was
nothing personal in the action, he was
sure, for there had never been the slightest
friction at any of the meetings of the COM
mittee. A gentleman acquainted with
the facts said that in McMillan's fifteen
years service as a member of the house he
had never gone himself nor sent any one
to the speaker with reference to his COM
mittee assignments, except in response to
a summons from that official.
1t was suggested that Outhwaite's we'll
known and ardent advocacy of a repeal OF
the Sherman law might account for the
change, but this was discredited by Nc
MILAN himself, who said he was satisfied
that could have no influence upon the
speakers determination, for the latter had
no knowledge-at east from him-of Nc
Millan's position n that regard. 1t was
learned that Mem liam regards the Sher
man law as a very unwise, if not danger
Gus measure, and ne can, therefore, prob
ably be counted On to vote for the repeal
of the silver purchasing clause.
A friend of Speaker Crisp said the reason
for the change, in his opinion, lay in the
suggestion that had been frequently made
during the Fifty-second congress that there
should be a northern Democrat on the
committee. THAT and that alone account:
| for the change. When the committee was
| formed two years ago." he continued, "tht
| party had Just passed through fierce
| fight for the speakership, and it wa.
! deemed best to put a representative Of
each of the two factions in the committee
| So Mr.. Catchings was chosen from TIE
| Crisp ranks and Mr. Mcmillan from those
who opposed him. This year there was NJ
! fight of that kind On hand, and the way
was clear for adopting the suggestion re
| garding a northern Democrat"

When the finance committee of the SEN

and therefore desired that the silver ques-

the meeting. By next Tuesdays meeting,
he hoped that the subject would be in
order. The Republican members of the
committee, save Senator Jones, of Nevada,
announced that they were ready at once to
proceed to discussion and action, as the
president had called attention to the need
of speedy legislation. But as they realized
that simple exp ression of the wish of the
majority was equivalenhto a formal mo-
ton, which would undoubtedly prevail,
they made no further resistance.

A General Declinee on All Cereals Dur
ing the Present Month.


ing the Present Month.
WASHINGTON: Aug. 1.-THE August re-
port of the statiscian of the department of
agriculture shows that the condition OF
corn has declined a little overt per cent.
during the past month, the average for the
month being 81 against 93.2 for the month
of July, This decline is due IN the main
to the drought. The averages in the
principal states are: Ohio, So; Indiana, 20:
Illinois, 81; Iowa, 1O2; Missouri, %; Kan
sas, 50; Nebraska, S..
There is considerable falling off in the
condition of spring wheat in the last
month, amounting o something over ten
points, the average condition the present
month being 81, as against IA for the
month of July. The condition by states
is as follows: Wisconsin,, 20; Minnesota.
O.; Nebraska, IS; South Dakota, 63; North
Dakota, &C; Iowa, 81. This decline of ten
points is the result Of the too high temper
allure and deficient rainfall in the spring
wheat states.
The condition OF spring rye in August is
7S.5, as against 80 il the month of July
The condition of oats has fallen ten points
since the July report, being 1873 as COM
pared with SIS last month, while in Au-
gust, 1892 it stood nj 500. 1t is the lowest
condition reported n August for many
years. The August returns for barley show
slight decline in condition from that of
last month, being 81 8, against 81. 3 in July.

ANTl-SILvER STRIKES AN IDEA.

White Metal Men.

A Plan That VIII BE Proposed to the
White Metal Men.
Last night plant was formulated by
the anti-silver committee which it is be-
lieved will be acceptable to the free coin
age committee and that at the meeting to-
day the conference will request the COM
mittee on rules to report ap order to the
house covering the arrangement. 1t is
that the house proceed to the discussion
of bill providing for the repeal of the
purchasing clause of the Sherman law
that opportunity be given to offer an
amendment providing for the free coinage
of silver at IA ratio to be agreed upon by
the silver men, if that is possible; if not
then votes shall be taken upon the differ
ent ratios proposed. If free coinage at
any ratio be rejected, an amendment may
be offered similar to the bill of 1873, limit
ing the purchase of bullion and amount of
coinage.
This failing, vote to be taken upon the
bill rs introduced-or unc, nditional re-
peal. The discussion is to last two weeks,
with the privilege to any member who
fails to get hearing of printing his re-
marks in the Record. 1t will be observed
that in this proposition the first vote to be
taken will be upon the free coinage and
but ldSl upon Jut repeal
the purchasing clause. The anti-silver
men surrender their demand that the first
vote be taken on unconditional repeal, and
if the silver men accept the proposition
they will abandon the demand that their
caucus bill must be the basis of action
The situation was greatly simplified by
the action of conference held at the resi-
dence of Secretary Carlisle, at which nearly
forty gentlemen, including the leaders of
the anti-silverites, were present A general
discussion of the proposition submitted by
the anti-silver committee was had and it
= was agreed to take the affirmative on ev-
cry proposition. The conference lasted
nearly two hours, and at its conclusion
those in attendance congratulated them
selves that the action taken was the best
under the circumstances.
A proposition will be made to the silver
men toQay to close the debate IN ten days
and then vote on the different propositions
regarding free coinage. different ratios and
