' In the senate this morning Senator Morrill spoka In favor of the repeal of the purchase clause of the Sherman net. ' Washington, August 21. All Interest In the financial discussion in the house was dwarfed today In the greater in terest every one felt In the announce ment of the standing committees by speaker Crisp. No one was prepared for the radical changes made in the personnel of some important commit tees. Springer, of Illinois, gives way to Wilson, of West Virginia, as chair man of the ways and means commit tee, and the Illlnoisan Is given the chairmanship of - th . committee on banking and currency. Holman, of In diana, the venerable "Watch-dog" of the treasury, is deposed from the com mittee on appropriations In favor of Bayers, of Texas, and . given the head of the committee on Indian affairs. Bland, of Mlssourl,is retained as head of the committee on coinage, but the free coinage people are disappointed In the committee being changed so as to leave much doubt whether the free coinage people are in th eminority and whether the financial policy of the ad ministration may not find a majority In the committee. Congressman Tracy of New Yrk, who Is an administration nan and second on the committee claims that the speaker has deferred to the repealing element to such an ex tene as to make the coinage commit tee "mildly free coinage" instead of "radically free coining," and insists on counting Kilgore of Texas as a free coinage man. The committee will only stand 9 to 8 for free coinage. SThe com mittee on banking and currency is said to be opposed to free coinage by 11 to 6. The removal of Holman from the head of the appropriations commit tee is interpreted by gome- to mean that the speaker favors more liberal appropriations in the 63d congress. The removal of Springer from the ways and means committee gives this Important chairmanship in the house to the South. When asked for a statement as to (he reasons which impelled the speaker to depose him from the chairmanship of the ways and means committee, Springer said: "To say I am surprised at my dep osition from that chairmanship and ap pointment as chairman on banking and currency, is . only a feeble expression of the truth. I had no intimation from the speaker whatever as to his failure to reappoint or as to his intention to make me chairman of any other com mittee. I go from a work to which I have given the best study of my life to go to a committee to the business of which I have given but little at tention heretofore. I know nothing of the motives of the speaker r of the object he had In view. He has assured me that he desired to do that which he thought was best for tha country and the democratic party. I tope he is not mistaken, but opinions may differ." . TO PROTECT THEIR CLAIM. Tacoma,' Aug. 21.

STILL ANOTHER MURDER Tbc Particulars of the Killing: of HI3 BODY BATTERED TO PIECES Verdict of Wilful Murder for the Purpoa ofKobltery Brought In by the Jury at Olnry uii Saturday. The facts of ithe murder at Olney were brought to this city by Sheriff Smith yesterday. It appears that Vic tor Sncllman a young rancher, was on his way to this city two weeks ago to purchase provisions for the farm. He stayed over night at the house of Ot to Johansen on Young's river, and on the evening of his arrival a young foreigner reached there looking for employment. He was given a bed. At daylight next morning all the inmates of the house went out to cut hay, leav ing the stranger and Snellman Bleep ing. On their return at noon both had gone away, and as It was thought that Snellman had decided. to go on to As tcvln at once, probably asking the stranger to accompany him, no more heed was given to the matter. Howev er, the days passed and Snellman's friends grew anxious. Last Thursday they instituted u, thorough search, with no result until Saturday morning when Jcnathan Duncan and Louis Brazee, two of the searchers, came across bis dead body near Green Mountain on the Military road, a few miles from Ol ney. The trunk and head were fear fully mutilated, having been beaten In with a heuvy billet of wood or piece of Iron. The murderer must have been a human fiend for the medical testi mony showed that a dozen fearful blows must have rained on the head, after the mortal wound was given. Suspicion points to. the stranger .whQ loft Johansen's house with Snellman; and Sheriff Smith haa offered a reward of $200 for his capture and telegraphed the following description all over ' the country: I'Age about 25, height about 5 feet 8, weight about 150,-, fair. 'complexion, light hair, pompadour cut, blue eyes, small lump on bridge of nose close to forehead, small light moustache on August 3d, last, Sare features, tat tooed blue ring on third finger of left hand, covered by silver 1'lng, small tat tooed anchor on back part of left hand near thumb, soft hands.

The coroner's Inquest hold In ri'.jvy yesterday brought out the following facts: ' The first witness called was Dr. A. L. Fulton, who testified as follows: "I have examined the body, and found him lying on his left side, his right hand clasping the wrist of the left. I found three cuts or bruises on the right side of the head, one a little ovtr and back of the ear, evidently fractur ing the skull, as there was a fracture of the skull under the cut. I found three cuts in the abdomen, evidently produced by some sharp Instrument, penetrating the cavity, as a large quantity of Intestines protruded from two of the wounds. The man had been dead some time, could not say how long. Decomposition was very far ad vanced. I do not think death was In stantaneous." Otto Johansen: "I have seen the bedy that was found on the hill. It was the body of Victor Snellman. He was about 25 years of age. I saw him last on the 4th of August, this year in my home on Young's river. I did not see him leave. Gustaf Adolph was stopping with me. We both left that morning about 6 o'clock to go to Fox's place to help make hay. A stranger stayed at the house tho night before. I do not know his name. He was at the house when we left." James P, Fox: "I saw Snellman on the third of August. A stranger came to my place on the third of August and asked the road to Fox's place. I told him one-half mile. He said he would ork for four bits a day. He was fulr complexloned, about 25 years of age, and about 6 feet 8 inches in height. Highest of all in Leavening Power. latest U. S. Gov't R?pof with fair hair, which was cut shirt. He had a small moustache." Guntaff Adolph: "I knew the de deceased. Saw him alive last on tha 4th of August at Otto Johansen's house. There were four of us there. Did not see 'either the stranger of Fnellman leave. I know Snellman had a $20 gold piece and four half-dollars. He told me It was all he had! I c:uae back about 7 p. m. Found no one th.re and' the door locked."

Yesterday morning the following ca.nnerymen met in session in the onto room of the Odd-Fellows Bull'Mng to discuss the details of a propr,;. ; com bination of all the eannerit' n the Columbia river: Frank M.

Eur ka, and Eagle canneries; J. W. Cook Oregon Packing Co.; Robt. Winters Hapgood Packing Co. Mr. Tallent was unanimously elested chairman of the meeting and explained in a few words Its object. ,He said that the present scheme was the formation of an In corporation with every cannery on the) river ns a member. There seemed at tho present time HO be an absolute ne cessity for such a step. The pack w is rtecreanlng, demands for wages were) higher, and the amount of fih caught this year might Just as well have been handled by five canneries as by twen ty. A committee consisting of R El more (chairman) and Frank Wurren, George Nelson, George H. George, and Jos. Megler was then appointed to ; lc Into the nutter and bring some feai 1 bln scheme before the meeting at the o.irllest possible moment. The commit tee met last night and drafted out a ;jlan for bonding all the canneries for a certain length of time. There seems to be a disposition on the part of some of tho stronger canneries to fight the thing out on its present lines, ns the continuation of affairs now exist ing will bankrupt many of the small concerns. They say that the quicker this cornea the better and that the field will then be left among the fey that have weathered the storm, Humph they recognize the fact that It will I e a losing game for a few years. The committee will report the result of their deliberations at the end of the, week. . ; STRENGTH AND HEALTH. If you are not feeling strong anl healthy, try Eloctrlo Bitters.
