WASHINGTON, May 10.-The proba-
bilities are that the consideration Of
the river and farbor appropriation bill
will be concluded Monday According
to agreement, this bill will be followed
by the resolution to seat Mr.. Dupont
as a senator from Delaware. With the
Dupont resolution disposed of, the bill
making appropriations for the District
of Columbia will be considered and it
will probably consume the remainder
of the week. Only the provision in the
river and harbor bill for the construc-
ton of breakwater at Santa Monica,
Cal, remains to be acted upon.
There will be several speeches on
this question Monday. Senators Berry,
Vest and Perkins win oppose the
amendment and Senator Frye, as chair
man of the committe on commerce, will
explain the committees reason for its
action.
SENATOR WHITE WILL REPLY
briefly to Mr.. Frye.
After this it is expected that the
vote on the amendment will be taken,
and that whatever the fate of this
passed. 1t is not expected to remain
long in conference as there is q dispo-
sition manifest in both houses to get
the bin to the president at as early
J date IS practicable. This is due to
the fear of veto and to the determine
tion to remain in session long enough
to give congress time to act in case of
such adverse Endorsement by the pres
ident. The agreement in regard to the
Dupont case is that il shall be taken
up for debate Immediately after the
disposal of the river and harbor bill,
and that a vote shall be taken not
later than o'clock of the second day
after the debate begins. 1t is doubt
full whether the entire time allowed for
debate will be required. The result of
the vote
Is STILL IN DOUBT.
1t depends upon one or two Populist
senators who have not made their po-
sftion known so far as can be ascer-
tanned. There are several features in
the district bill which are expected to
arouse debate, but if it should be
passed before the close of the week,
the committee on appropriations will
have the fertilization appropriation bill
ready to take up and will press its
consideration. There will, however, be
strong pressure in that event to work
on the calendar.
The Cuban situation as presented by
the imposition Of the death sentence
upon the members of the Competitor
party brings forward a decidedly inter
esting condition, which may result in
an attempt at action on this question
by the senate during the week In
fact, the outlook in that direction is
full of possibilities.

Working Of the Brain.

It is we'll known that each side of
the brain is connected with the move
ments and sensations mainly on the
opposite side of the body; the right
brain moves the left arm and leg, and
vice versa. Now, cases are not infre-
quent in which, with or without "a
shock" or at least come degree of OBJ.
vious loss of muscular power on the
right side of the body, the faculty OF
recalling and reproducing spoken
words is totally or almost totally lost.
Such loss of speech is technically called
aphasis. 1t was first shown some
thirty-fve years ago by a French
physician, that this particular symp.
tom is associated with damage to
limited and very definite part of the
brain substance on the left side which
has since been known, in honor of its
discoverer, as Broca's convolution.
When the power of speech has thus
been lost, it is possible, if the. mental
faculties are not otherwise damaged,
to acquire it again, by just such a
course of training and practice as the
child passes through in learning to
speak at first, even where Broca's con-
volution has been so damaged as to be
quite incapable of performing its
functions. In such case the portion
of the brain on the right side CORE
spending to Broca's convolution IS ca
pable of taking up its work i; but only
by being educated to do SO, Just as the
damaged portion of the brain had been
originally. If after this the power OF
speech is lost again by damage to the
right side similar to that which had
impaired the left, there is no hope OF
of its being restored second time.
It is thus clear that there are two or
gans or portions of Che brain capable
of controlling speech, and that under
ordinary circumstances only one OF
them is trained to do so, the other ly-
ing fallow. All the education is given
to one favored side, and all the work
is done by it; but the neglected one,
if called by necessity to undertake the
work, can be trained to do it, and to
do it apparently, as satisfactorily as
the other. New York Telegram.

100000 BuilaI0es Died.

Near Cheyenne Wells is long
stretch OF level prairie, which sudden
ly terminates in precipice, making
q perpendicular descent of perhaps
fifty feet to another plain below. In
the winter of 1858 a great blizzard
ragged for several days. The snow
was driven at terrific rate before
hurricane of wind. and the buffalo
were obliged, in self preservation, TO-
turn their backs and run with the
wind. The result was that vast num-
bers of the buffalo were carried over
the precipice, and their dead bodies
we're covered with twenty or thirty
feet OF snow. For many years people
visited the spot to look at the bones,
which lay in piles ten and fifteen feet
high as far as the eye could reach
along the precipice, and it was COM
monty estimated that 100,0 bufs-
loes found grave on that fa'al spot.
Sand storms in those days were so
destructive that it was not unusual tor
freighters to lose their entire outfit.
During the prevalence OF storm no
attempt was made to move forward,
and drivers cleared the sand out of
the nostrils of the horses and oxen. as
otherwise the animals were threatened
with death from suffocation. A sand
storm usually lasted only two or three
hours, but its effects were felt Tor
days by men and animals exposed to
the fury of the blast.
A curious phenomenon noticed IN
different places on the plains was the
immense excavating power Of the wind
in a sand storm. There were areas OF
three or four acres where the wind
scoopel out the sand forty or fifty feet
deep and whirled it away in the air.
It seemed as If the work began at
central spot no larger than could be
covered with mans hat. In an IN.
credibly short time a round hole would
be excavated. The wind then took
hold in real earnest, and the proba-
bilities were that an entire sand hill
would he levclel down in the next
thirty minutes. Denver Field and
