1rouoR RAID ON mYn1Ig STREET.

LIQUOR RAID ON MYE1LE S7REET. An Italian Thought to be Cover for Other
 Parties, Arrested Yesterday.
 Antonio Biracbeo, an Italian, was ar- rested yesterday afternoon at his resi- dence, 35 Myrtle street, for violation of the Sunday liquor law. The police of the Grand avenue precinct received no- tice that liquor was being sold at that number, and Sergeants Hayes and Do- herty and Officers Cannon, Enright, Caulf1eld, and Lindsley were sent to in- vestigate As the officers entered the house ten men who were drinking in one room and eight in another made breaks for doors and windows.
 Biracbeo was caught just filling bot ties with beer from a keg, and so sur- prised was he at the appearance of tho officers that he forgot to stop the flow of beer and a. small river of beer was soon streaming across the floor.
 The officers confscated three kegs and fifteen bottles of beer, five quarts of wine, three quarts of rum and a number of empty kegs and bottles. It Is thought by the officers that Biracbeo Is an agent of Cavanaugh and Christy, the two men who were arrested twice on the same Sunday not long ago for violation of the Sunday law and who had several times previously been ar rested for the same offence. No. 35 Myrtle street is a house, said to be owned by Christy and is occupied by several Italian families. It is said by the officers that Cavanaugh and Chris- ty after being caught at one place vio- lating the law at once move to new quarters, and so manage to keep a bar running about every Sunday.

MAY BE A LAW NEXT WEEK
PROBABILITY THAT THE TARIFF
 WILL BE ENACgED THrS WEEK.

General Belief That Not Republican
 Vote Will be Recorded Against the Re-
 port of the Conference Committee-Dem
 ocrats Not Disposed to Delay Final Ac-
 tion-New Rule to be Reported.
 Washington, July 18.--The indica- tions tonight are that the tariff bill. as agreed to by the republican con- ferees yesterday, probably will have passed both houses of congress and be a law at the end of the present week. Delays and complications, now antici- pated, might somewhat prolong the final struggle. The republican confer- ees have been working hard all day. consulting and arranging the details of the report which they now believe they will be able to submit to their democratic colleagues tomorrow morning The bulk of this work has fallen upon the shoulders of Senator Allison and Representative Dingley- who are preparing the statements ot the effect of the changes made by the conferees which will be submitted to IutlT TGSpcCIlVG QlUuSSS.
 They have had small army of clerks at work throughout the day in the room of the senate committee on finance, preparing the bill for th8 printer. If this task can be accom- plished tonight the printed bill can be-, laid before the democrats tomorrow afternoon.
 It is not believed that there will ba any disposition on the part of the democratic members of the confer-. ence to delay the bill in full commit tee, but the democrats have had no meeting to determine their course of action on this point
 Mir. Dingley expressed the opinion to- night that an hour would be sufficient time in which to explain the changes made by the conferees to the minority colleagues on the committee. One or two democrats are tonight inclined to insist upon @ day for deliberation on the changes but they, of course, realiza that they are helpless if the majority desire to report the bill over their pro- test, and inasmuchs as the republican, leaders of the house decided tonight to give two full days for the discussion of the report in the house, they prob ably will acquiesce in the decision of the majority to make the report to. morrow.
 All along the republican leaders have been disosed to allow but one day for debate in the house and while they still believe one day will be sufficient. after discussing the question to-night they decided, more to disarm the points the minority would be sure to make and the general criticism that the re- port was to be dragooned through the house, to give two full days for de- bate. The report must, of course, be acted upon by the house before it is considered In the senate.
 The committee on rules will meet to- morrow morning and prepare rule which will bring q vote on the report before adjournment on Tuesday. The rule will be presented and adopted as soon as the oonferees make their re- port probably soon after noon to-nor- row. The debate will immediately fol- low.
 The South Carolina dispensayy bin will be used to consume time untif the report is brought in. It Is not be- lieved that a single republican vote i'm the house will be recorded against the report

NAYAL MILITIA SAIL TO-DAY.
Leave for Fishers Island for Their Weeks
 Cruise This Morning.


 This morning bright and early the First division of the Naval militia start on their weeks cruise. Preparation has been going on for the cruise for some time, and everything Is now in readi- ness.
 Unlike the preparation for most great naval demonstrations the .destination and purpose of this one Is known. It will proceed direct to Fishers Island, 8 small bit of New York's territory hug ging so close to Connectiouts coast as to make it pardonable for one to mistake it for a part of the Nutmeg state itself. Not, so. however. and the naval militia are really going on an ex- petition of foreign invasion, though not for the purpose of territorial ag- grandizement.
 At Fishers Island the two divisions of the naval battalion, the New Haven and the Hartford, and also the engin- ger corps, will go into camp and pro- ceed to get some practical experience In naval matters by daily drill on board the United States battleship Maine, one of the finest of the recently built vessels of our new navy.
 The New Haven division of the naval militia has already been organized for ship duty and every man has been as- signed to some gun and boat of the Maine.
 Two six Hch and six six pound guns have been set apart for the militia to practice with.
 The men will camp nights on shore, though it is probable they will be given zto I ,to1, t1n S9 the vessel. It is also probable, should the weather be fair, that the Maine will take the battalion out for a short cruise at sea. Ss
 The amateur sailors do not anticipate all hard work. but expect to get enjoy- ment,, as we'll as lots of experience out of the weeks work.
 Lieutenant Commander Goodridge has ordered the men to report at the monitor Wyandotte at 7:S0 this morn ing, but 1t Is not probable that the tug Richard Law, which has been impress ed into the service as transport ship, will get under way before 9 o'clock, as there is considerable to be done before starting.
 Yesterday there were more than the usual signs of activity aboard the mon- itor Wyahdotte and some of the men of the division slept, or tried to sleep aboad the warship last evening.
 If the Richard Law starts at 9 o'clock it will probably be we'll along in the afternoon before the division reaches the island, so that little in the way of drill will be accomplished to-day.
 This evening Lieutenant Edward V. Reynolds, navigator of the battalion, will be presented with handsome sword by the officers of the division. Tuesday morning the drill on board the Maine will be commenced. The tents have been already pitched at the camp by a detail of men sent for that purpose on Saturday.
 Lieutenant Commander Goodridge anticipates returning early enough on Saturday to give an exhibition battery drill on the green
 Between sixty and seventy men gc to camp from New Haven this year and the whole Connecticut contingent numbers nearly 150.

the garment was not right. There had
