Special Correspondence Inter Mountain
Helena, Feb. H.
The desperate efforts of the MacGinnis
adherents to Undue legislators with the
belief that things are going their way is
shown by the statement circulated last
evening and today to the effect that Rep
resehtatives Martin and Swindlehurst
had become caucus converts.
These two members Of the assembly
are Cooper men, and were invited by
MacGinnis yesterday to come to the eau
Gus held in the house of representatives
and talk matters over. They accordingly
entered the meeting hall merely to eX-
plain their position and We're exceedingly
indignant today when they learned that
the report was being circulated that they
were caucus converts.
There is no foundation whatever for
sucii a story said Mr.. Swindehurst.
''We Went there by invitation to define
our position That position. as defined,
was that we would enter a caucus when
all the fusion members entered one, and
not before. in plain language, we did
not intend to go there as 1ere handful
and be swallowed up by the MacGinnls
caucus, we want it to be one of the en-
tire party.
We stated our position and then left,
without participating further in the pro-
ceedings. and l am unable to tell what
was done afterWard.'
The prophecy of the pCIticians that
there would be no material change in
the ballot today has materia:iZed. The
Caucus will meet again on next Thurs
day evening. provided that it meets
again at all under the present call. Eff
forts to force a caucus have resulted in
the lines being drawn closer than ever.
and some talk about dark horses is
being INDUCED in.
1t is rumored, though. how much
credence is to be given the Tumcr cam
not be ascertained On account of the re-
luctance of the interested parties to con-
verse on the subject, that Cooper and
Conrad have both agreed to vacate their
position in the manager and give then
supporters permission to vote for whom
they please next week, and. it may be,
sooner. In case such rumor proves true
! it is probable that Frank will secure the
| most Of their support.

WHEN AND WHY TT RAINS.

From the London Standard
The distribution Of rainfall is the sub
feet Of a very interesting monograph
written by DR.. A. J. Herbertson and pub
llshed the other day by Mr.. John MUIR
ray. The amount of the rainfall depends
on variety of causes. First among
them are heat and cold. All the rivers,
says the preacher, run into the sea, yet
the sea is not full. With good reason,
because the sun pumps the water up into
the air from which II Is again sent back
by the cold of space; as the air cools, II
becomes less capable of retaining Yapor,
so the water reappears, first as clouds,
and then as rain. Thus the amount Of
rain is often greatest in tropical countries,
at any rate near an ocean, while In polar
regions It Is comparatively small-and
often comes down as snow. But the con-
tlnents and oceans, the dominant winds,
which are partly dependent on them, and
the differences OF level In the ground, all
affect the rainfall OF district, both as
regards its total amount and It's distri-
button over the year. 1t may range from

the annual fall sometimes reaches 600
inches. the greater part Of which comes
down In about half the year. In our own
country we think four 20 five inches IN
twenty-four hours a record, but at one

The Morning News Office,
Saturday, April 6.
The closing of the principal Northern
Exchanges to-day left the minor mar
lets free from the influences that usually
affect them. The Chicago quotations were
tbe only reports received during the day.
Monday will witness a general resump-
tion of business, however, when interest
ing developments are looked for in all
the big exchanges. Phillips has the Chi
oaeo corn market where the question is
whether he or the bears are to carry the
dsy. The young Corn King is said to
have an enormous long line which it is
claimed the entire farming element are
aiding him in holding. The great uncer-
tainty surrounding the cotton futures
market makes the resumption Of trading
,nnortant. The high level to which
stocks have risen makes developments in
that market, also a matter of large con-
Germ.
There was little business transacted in
the local markets to-day. The Cotton
exchange was again closed, and the alb
sence of official prices curtailed trading,
though there was the usual spotty de-
mand that was readily supplied by brok-
ers.
The Board of Trade was open during
the day and the usual quotations were
nosted. In the naval stores market the
feature was a further drop of 1ac in spir-
its turpentine, which closed firm at S21ac.
No evidences of a check in the
downward tendency of prices have
vet appeared. What is looked for
ward to as the most important
prospective factor in imparting strength
is a revival of the foreign demand which
is at present very unsatisfactory. In
ouiry for spirits for home consumption is
limited, the demand being only to supply
hurry orders. If these conditions con-
tinue the trade will not be surprised at
further sharp declines, but when the bot
tom is reached and buyers for export are
forced into the market it is maintained
that prices will have a prompt and sub
stantial recovery. Favorable weather is
reported at present throughout the pine
belt for the gathering of stuff, so that
the receipts are apt to show a steady
increase henceforth.
The following resume of the markets
will show the tone and quotations of
those open for trading to-day:
