Passage of the Silver Bill i'll the

Change.
Its Fate in the Senate Dependent Upon
Republican Votes-six Democrats
Certain to Oppose 1t.
Especial to the Democrat.

Especial to the Democrat.i
WASHINGTON, May 24.-The silver bill
passed the House to-day without material
modification from the synopsis dictated In
my letter mailed Monday, after one 81 the
most desperate fights ever made In Congress.
IT will be taken up In the Senate on Monday
and referred to the Finance Committee where
1t will encounter another struggle, owing to
the opposition Of the chairman, Mr.. Bayard.
Indeed, 1t ID not impossible d vote Of the Sem
ate may be required to take 1t out Of the COM
mittee and get IL reported for consideration.
It's fate In the Senate depends entirely on
whether the Republicans oppose it solidly or
not If they do 1t will fail, as six Democrats
are certain 10 oppose It., and possibly eight.
The six most likely to oppose 1t are Messrs.
Eaton, Herman, Randolph, Bayard, Whyte
and Groome with possibly Butler and Hamp-
ton in addition, but unless the Republicans
are whipped into solid opposition by "a ma
jority OF the party caucus and the influence
of John Sherman, three or four may be
counted on to support 1t OH that side, which
will insure It's passage. This, however, Is q
matter Of speculation. ..=
The single standard men tonight say the
Republican vote In the Senate will be solid
against the bill in Its present FORM and, judg-
Ing from the strictness Of the Republican
party discipline In the Senate, there Is ground
for their confidence Nothing can be pre-
dicted with any approach to accuracy on this
point till one or two test votes have been
taken. A. g. Il.

THE CROP OUTLOOK.
A Review Of the Agricultural Prospects
Throughout the Country.

NEW YORK, May 2-The Times to-day pub
lishes reports upon the present condition OF
the crops and harvest throughout the United
States. Letters and dispa ches come from
more than one thousand points in thirty y-four
States and one Territory.
In the New England States, while the MIS-
cellaneOus cereal products and fruits promise
well, the grass crop, with Its attendant pro-
ducts Of the dairy, has decidedly increased.
New England will contribute at least 10 per
cent more Of hay and of butter and cheese and
stock than last year.
In the Middle States, embracing the terri
tory between the Allegheny range and the At
lantic and between New England and Vir-
ginia, wheat will be more largely raised than
last year. Corn the same as wheat. Other
crops nearly the same. Fruit crops, and es-
pecially peaches, promise well and up to aver
age.
both corn and wheat are tlattering. In wheat
no considerable falling off is reported in any
State except In Kansas. Illinois promises an
average crop; Ohio an increase to probably
10000 600 bushels; Michigan, 31,o0o,000 larger
"a large increase. In Nebraska an increase
of 20 per cent and probable total Of 1s,00O,-
600. In Iowa, Indiana and Wisconsin as large
a crop as last year, and probably consider
able increase.
promise an increase, with the exception OF In
diana where 1t has been abandoned to some
extent for wheat.
In the Southern States the prospects are
not so strikingly improved as in some other
sections, but the reports are encouraging.
Cotton is reported as up to the average in
Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee and
Arkansas, and as promising an increase In
Virginia, South Carolina, Alabama, Louisi-
ana and Texas. In Mississippi alone loss Is
to be anticipated.
An increase In corn is indicator by all the
Southern States except Arkansas and Mis-
souri,, where there is a falling off; and In
South Carolina and Georgia, where, however,
an average crop is expected.
In tobacco there is a perceptible, but not
large increase indicated In the South, and a
large one in the North.
Rice promises poorly in Louisiana, and
we'll in South Carolina and Georgia.
In wool and stock, the staple products of
Texas, there will be decided increase.

RECUPERATING THE BRAIN.

An intelligent writer on this subject
thinks the use of stimulants to fortify the
exhausted brain an unwise measure. The
best possible thing, he says, for man to
do when he feels too weak to carry any
thing through is to go to bed and sleep as
long as he can. This is the only recupera-
ton of the brain power, the only actual
recuperation of brain force; because during
sleep the brain is in state of rest, in a
condition to receive appropriate particles
of nutriment from the blood, which takes
the place of those which have been con-
sumed by previous labor, since the very
act of thinking burns up solid particles, as
every turn of the wheel or screw of the
steamer is tho result of consumption by fire
of the fuel in the furnace. The supply of
consumed brain substance can only be had
from nutritive particles in the blood, which
were obtained from the food eaten pre-
viously, and the brain is so constituted that
it can best receive and appropriate to it.
self those nutritive particles during the
state of rest, of quiet, and stiffness of
sleep.
