SESSION OF THE SENATE.
Hill and Chandler Fighting the
Antf-Bond Issue Bill.

Washington. May 2L-In some respects
the proceedings in the Senate to-day We're
suggestive Of the closing days of ses-
sion. Conference reports were being con-
sidered and acted upon during most of the
day.
First came the river and harbor bill;
and after a short discussion the report
was formally disagreed to. in order to
have an item as TO Brunswick harbOr, Ga,
restored to the bill. Later in the day the
report was again presented with the
Brunswick matter arranged saustacto-
rily; but with the items DIS to the deep
sea harbor in Southern California still
undisposed of in conference. The report
was agreed TO as far as it went. and new
conference was ordered on the San Pedro
and Santa Monica question.
The conference report on the legislative
bill was assailed on account of the pro-
visions as to circuit court clerks, and as
to the appointment of a register OF copy
rights The report was disagreed TO by
vote of &c to 50, and the bill was again sent
to conference. y partial conference report
on the Indian appropriation Dill was
agreed to and further conference or
dered; and subsequently a second report
was presented and went over till to-mor-
row. ~
The conference on the sundry civil bill
was presented and agreed to.
The calendar of appropriation bills hav-
ing been thus cleared off. Mr.. Butler,
pop, of North Carolina, thought that the
OppOrtune time had come LOT seelihs De-
fore the Senate his bill prohibiting the is
sue of bonds without the consent OF con-
gress; and he made motion TO proceed TO
its consideration. Immediately Senators
Hill and Chandler commenced series OF
obstructive measures, by which they were
successful in preventing a vote on MI
Buffers motion. The strength OF its sup
port, however, was Indicated by the vote
on Mr.. Chambers motion to proceed to
the consideration of executive business,
which was: yeas. u; nays. "a; and all
subsequent votes preserved thaI relatlon.
During the flibustering proceedings Mr.
Hill and Mr.. Allen, pop, Of Nebraska, in
terchanged remarks not entirely consis-
tent with senatorial courtesy. Inc oD-
structive tactics prevailed to the extent
Of forcing an adjournment without vote
on Mr. Buffers motion to take up the Dill

Eye is Affected by Them.
Berlin Dispatch in the London Standard.
DR.. Brandes of the University of Halle
has succeeded in rendering directly Wis
ible the X rays discovered by Prof, Ront-
gen The observation made by Prof. Sal
vion!, an Italian physicist. that lenses are
only in a very slight degree penetrable
by Rontgen's rays suggested to Or.
Brandes the idea that the invlsIbility
might be due to circumstances connected
with this fact lie accordingly resolved
to test the effect of Rontgen's rays on the
lenseless eyes.
There are many people who have had
the lenses Of the eyes removed as a rem
edy for extreme shOrtsightedness or for
cataract. A girl who mad had this opera
ton performed on both eyes, but in whose
right eye a remnant OF the lens had been
left allowed the experiment TO be tried
prof Dorm. whom DR.. Brandes had in
terested in the investigation, subjected the
girl quite unexpectedly 10 the rays, and
when the strong current passed through
the tube which had been totally darkened,
she declared that she saw light with her
left eye. Profs. Dorm and Brandes at
first thought ii possible that spark
had leaned across, but when this had been
rendered >impossi BILE the g-rl continued TO
declare that she saw light.
on further trying the experiment, the
two savants saw the light too. They
then continued their Investigations and
ascertained that Rontgen's rays really
affect the retina. If we place our head,
Completely Enclosed in an entirely opaque
vessel. near the source of the rays, we
see it most clearly at the periphery.
Moreover, we continue to see il even
When a large aluminium plate, which
would completely exclude electric rays, is
placed between Hittorf tube and the eye.

suits If a thick pane Of glass which. a.
Is well known, is only in a very 81 ght
degree penetrable by Rontgen's rays is
niaced between the tube and the closed
or covered eye.
Herren Dorm and Brandes hope tc as
certain by further experiments whether
T2onrgen's rays directly affect the merry
oIls narts of the eye, or whether they only
render parts of the interior of the eye
tIuorescent. and thus indirectly create the
;r,rraasiOu Of light.
