Senators All Say There is No Movement Yet in This Direction, WASHINGTON, March 30.—A rumor has gained currency about the capitol to the efféct that the veto of the selgniorage bill would be taken advantage of by the silver men to attempt to secure an amendment to the tariff bill by adding a provision for free colnage, but senators of all shades of opinfon when asked if there were any foundation for the report said there was a0t to their knowledge, Senator Quay, who has presented an amendment to the tarifft bill providing for free coinage, said that the veto might make an impression upon the Gemocratic senators that would influence them to agreo to an amendment, but he had heard of no move- ment among them in that direction. Sena- tor Gray, representing the anti-free coin- age democrats, Senator Pugh of the free colnage element and Senator Dubols of the free colnage republicans, all agreed that there was no understanding to this effect. Senator Gray did not believe such a thing would be undertaken, and Senator Dubois sald If it should be it was too early to formulate any plan. RAINMAKING A FAILURE.

The bombard- ment of the skles for water, as carried on by this department, did not produce results calculating to inspire the hope that any method of concussion would be commercially successtully in precipitating the moisture Zrom the clouds.” ON THE FIELD OF CHICKAMAUGA.

SOMALI SPOKEN AT LAST, Blown by Unfavorable Winds Clear Around Austratia~All Safo Now, SEATTLE, Wash., March 80.—Tidings of the British ship Somali long overdue at San Francisco and thought to be lost were re- ceived here last evening. The Somall was spoken by the Kennebec on March 27, a little north of San Francisco and only a short distance from the coast She was entirely out of provisions, the crew having lived since Christmas on rice and tea taken from the cargo. The Somali sailed from vember last. She battled with northeasters to past east of Formosa, but the captain finally gave it up. She ran down the China sea and went clear around Australia. Ofticer Morgan of the Somall was taken on board the Kennebec, and told of the Somall’s terrible voyage. e wanted provisions, he sald, as those aboard of his vessel were starving. With the exception of rice and tea from the cargo the Somali’s crew had had nothing to eat for many days. The run from Hong Kong consumes from thirty-five to fifty days, but the Somall had been out 140 days before she was spoken by the Kennebec. Twenty-one days after her departure she was spoken In latitude 5 de- grees south, longitude 100 degrees east. The long absence of the Somali had caused the belief that she had foundered in one of the tornadoes known to have swept over the sea, and insurance companies would not take the risk of reinsuring her. The ves- sel did not appear much damaged, and Cap tain Sawyer of the Kenneboc supplied ber with ten days rations, which were thank tully recelved.

All western cities noto the unfavorable influence of recent cold weather. Except in drugs, there is a smaller volume of trade in most lines at Chicago,, an exception being among dealers in pig ifon, where the demand exceeds ex- pectations. A similar report is made by St Louis dealers in crude iron, and by jobbers in dry goods, millinery, hats, hardware and shoes. Kansas City fruit and produce men are sald to be discouraged with reports of killing frosts. At Omaha business is I active than a week ago, although buyers in many instances are disposed to make larger purchases. At Milwaukee, St. Paul, Minneapolls and Duluth the feature in trad circles has been the temporary check to business, due to unseasonable cold weather. Portland, Ore., reports business Is improving very, very slowly, while at San Francisco the movement of staples is sluggish. Wheat there Is less active for export, the featu being the speculative dealings in the May options.

As it a monopoly of the finishing materfal trade of the east were not sufficlent, Pittsburg producsrs of pig iron have found that a $1.80 freight to Philadelphia and a $1.30 to Harris- burg has opened the door to wider markets on that commodity and eastern furnaces are cling their competition to some extent The general report east and west as to fin- ished material Is. that large orders are er, but that the demand for small lots is well maintained and the outlook in build- ing lines fs generally encouraging.

The unstable policy of the Missourl river rise to a new complication for which the county superintendent of schools will be called upon to find a remedy. On the east side of the river about five miles above tho city is a considerable section of land which has been decided by the courts to be Nebraska soil. It was originally on this side of the river but during one of the semi-occasional changes of base exccuted by the Blg Muddy it was isolated from its for- mer surroundings and forced much against its will to touch clbows with the over- hanging bluffs of the prohibition state On this plot of land are located upwards of a dozen families who though living on the Towa side of the river are supposed to be citizens of Nebraska. As this qualified citizenship has never caused any embar- rassment the occupants of the territory have never expressed any dissatisfaction with the present state of affairs and have taken their isolation from the rest of the state as a mat- ter of course. But as the years rolled by children were born to them, and they have continued to multiply until more than a score of babies have struggled througn the eras of teething and measles and have arrived at the age where their minds require some sort of edu- cational development. ~Here is where tho difficulty begins. The lowa schools will not r.ceive the children as pupils on the ground that they are children of Nebraska parents, live in Nebraska and that Ne- braska should properly defray the ex- pense of their education. There is no bridge across the river at that point, and consequently there is no school to which these children can be sent. The parents have talked the matter over many times, but were unable to hit upon any plan that seemed feasible. Some of the parents called on Secretary Gillan of the Board of Bducation to see if the board could not make some provision for their relief. They represented that they were absolutely without school facili- ties for their children and that unless some- thing was done they would be obliged to see their offsprings grow up in fgnorance or clse abandon their homes, which they have worked hard to pay for, and move to some locality where they were not educationally handicapped. The matter was outside of the city and the jurisdiction of the board, but Mr. Gillan sent them over to the county superintendent of instruction, who, it was thought, might afford them some relief. As there is no way of getting across the river except by boats, the only way of getting the children into a school seems to be the establishment of a district school on their territory. The county superintendent has the power to organize a district upon the consent of one- third of the voters in the territory affected, and an effort will be made to obtain a school under this provision.
