TARIFF NOW IN THE SENATE
COMNITTEE, THROUGH
 SENATOR ALDRICH, PRESENTS TT.

Radical Changes in the House Bill-Re-
 publicans Will Endeavor to Expedite Its
 Passage-Notice Served Yesterday of
 Thirty-two Amendments Which Will be
 Sumbitted.
 Washington, May 25.--At the close of the morning hour, in the senate, to- day, MT. Aldrich promptly moved that the tariff bill be taken up. The motion prevailed without opposition. MT. All drich yielded for a formal written mo- tice by MT. Vest, dem., of Missouri, member of the finance committee, stat ing that when the paragraphs were re- ported relative to beer, manufactured tobacco, snuff and cigarettes, he would move to strike out the provisions relat- ing thereto.
 Mir Quay, rep, of Pennsylvania, ask ed if the vote on this motion to strike out could be divided, as he might sup port some of the propositions and op- pose others.
 MT. Vest answered that the rules would permit separate votes.
 It was agreed at the outset that the formal reading of the bill be dispensed with until 1t was considered by para graphs and then that committee amendments would be considered first after which each paragraph would be open to general amendments.
 When MT. Aldrich began the galleries had again filled and nearly every seat on the floor of the senate was filled.
 MT. Dingley, author of the house bill, took seat near the senator, who spoke in easy conversational style and was accorded close attention. In the course of his speech MT. AL drich said:
 "The secretary of the treasury esti- mates the expenditures for all purposes of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1898, at s466, ,946, ,0472S. The finance commit tee estimate the revenue to be derived in the same fiscal year from customs if the provisions of the bill reported by them should be enatced into law, at S1S2, TIA 900. This includes an estimated revenue from the temporary duty on tea of $S,000000. The estimate of re- cepts by schedules Is as follows: Schedule to E-et;, to

WANT PAVED STREETS.
Bicycle Union Heard Through Its Presi-
 dent.


 The New Haven Bicycle union, through it's president, Morris F. Tyler, was given a hearing last evening by the committee on streets in the interest of street paving. The union wishes all the streets in the original nine squares that have not as yet been paved or hardened to be placed in order at the very earliest possible day. Many of these streets have been allowed to grow in a most deplorable condition, the bicyclists say.
 MT. Tyler called the attention of the committee to Grove and Wall streets, two blocks in High street, Winchester avenu and Sachem street. These should be either top dressed, hardened or paved
 Brick pavernents were asked for at the intersection of State and Elm, Church and Elm, Chapel and Church, York and Chapel, York and Elm streets. Herbert Mason, A. w. Earle, Els worth I. Foote and Prof. Brewer spoke in support of what was said by MT. Tyler. General E. E. Bradley, Thomas I. Bennett and Prof. Brewer urged the committee to recommend the top dressing of Grove street, between York and Temple streets.
 Alderman Stewart, Councilman Shepard and Patrolman Flynn were before the committee in the interest of taxpayers who wish Wolcott street hardened.
 Colonel T. J. Callahan and several others asked that the curb on each side of East Chapel street be set back, giv- ing more room for teams.
 The committee voted in executive ses- sion to grant the petitions except in the case of Grove street, which was tabled.

CABINET DISCUSSES CUBA.
President Will Doubtless be Guided by
 MT, CalhOun's Report.

Washington, May 25.-The cabinet again to-day gave most of it's time to the discussion of Cuba, including not only the methods of distribution of relief to the distressed Americans in island, but also the general subject of the insurrection. AS to the latter the proceedings were confined entirely to discussion and it was not attempted to outline any definite plan of procedure at this juncture. Everything appears to depend upon the conclusions reach
 ed by MT. Calhoun, and realizing
 they are dependent for fair state ment of the actual conditions in Cuba entirely upon that agent, the members of the cabinet are indisposed to bind themselves to any line of action in ad- vance.
 That this does not necessarily imply any great delay in treating the question with more purpose to accomplish some thing than has yet been the case is made probable by the fact that the president expects MT. Calhoun will have completed his mission in Cuba and be on his way back to Washing ton in the course of week or ten days
 Allowing for the time he may require to reduce to form and embody perhaps in an official report the conclusions he
 has formed as to the conditions in
 Cuba, the president should be in full possession of all the important facts
 MT. Calhoun has collected in the course of two weeks from this date, unless events in Havana unexpectedly prolong his stay.

FAruER,s TERRIBLE DEED.
Prominent Brooklyn Lawyer Kills Ills
 Son and Then Commits Suicide.

New York, May 25.-A double trag- edy was enacted some time during last night in the big brownstone-front house at No. PIP Greene avenue, Brooklyn. The bodies of Charles K. Hfllyard, lawyer, and his thirteen-year-old son, William K, Hillyard, were found this afternoon in their sleeping apartments. The boy was attired in his night clothes, while the father was partly dressed Both had bullet wound near the right temple By the side of the father was found five-chambered 3S- calbre revolver with two discharged cartridges. Father and son were last seen alive at o'clock last night, when Hillyard took his boy upstairs, saying thu. it was time to go to bed.
 The bodies were discovered by Miss Neim, Hillyard's sister-in-law, who, alarmed at the prolonged silence in the room and failing to get a response to her knocking, broke in the door. The bodies were cold and stiff. It will nev- tI De hHOWU now lOHS they Ildu lttiu there. Miss Neim had heard no sound of shooting during the night The ser- want girl, the only other person in the house, had also slept undisturbed.
 According to Miss Neim's story, MT. Hillyard seemed agitated last evening at the supper table.
 Mrs. Hillyard died in October last. Since that time the lawyer has acted peculiarly at times, and on several oc- casions locked himself in his room, re- maining there for hours at a time. He was greatly attached to his son, and it is believed that the deed was com mitted during a fit of insanity brought on by breeding over his wife's death.
 Shortly after her death MT. Hillyard made his will, bequeathing, it is said, about $70000 to the boy.
 MT. Hilyard was about fifty years of age. He was well known in legal and social circles in Brooklyn, where he had lived from boyhood
 A search of his papers has so far resulted in the discovery of nothing which might throw light upon his mo- tives for the deed.

ASPECT OF EASTERN AFFAIRS.
Turkey Sending More Troops to ThessaIy.
 Powers Firm in Their Note.

London, May 25.-The aspect of east ern affairs is less peaceable. Turkey is sending 1000 more troops to Thessaly, and it is said that the sultan has promised his ministers not to relax his hold upon that province.
 The note of the powers certainly does not yield on a single point and states even that the peace conference must be held at Constantinople and not at Pharsalos, but the sincerity of both Germany and Russia is doubted, and any sign of dissension among the pow CTS is caused by obstinacy on the part of the sultan.
 It is reported from Vienna that en- peror Nicholas has advised King George for his own safety to appoint a military governor with exceptional powers and to concentrate 5000 picked troops at Athens.

BAD rROhLEY ACClpENr.
One Man Killed, One Injured, Also Horse
 Killed and Wagon Smashed.


 An accident resulting in the death of one man and in slight injuries to an- other occurred on the Fair Haven and Westville road, at the corner of Chapel street and Derby avenue, last evening about 9:SO o'clock.
 Two Italian barbers, Joseph Florero and Antonio Santoro, who were driving on Derby avenue, were struck by a trolley car as they were about to cross Chapel street. The horse was killed in- stantly and the fore part of the wagon was smashed. Both men were con- scious when picked up.
 Dr. A. Wentworth who was called, after a hurried examination thought that neither of the men was fatally injured, though Florero was bleeding profusely from cuts in the head. The ambulance was summoned and both men were carried to Grace hospital, which is not far from the place where the accident occurred.
 Here careful examination showed that Florero's injury was more serious than was at first supposed, and that he was suffering from a fracture of the skull at the base of the brain, and the head was otherwise badly bruised.
 Drs. c. B. Adams, William P. Bald win, Henry Sage, Arthur Cheney and Walter Skiff were summoned and did all that could be done for the man, but to no avail, and the man died of his in- juries in less than two hours.
 The other man was but slightly in- jured, receiving a few slight cuts about the head.
 Both of the men are barbers, living at IS Vine street. and working at their trade on Oak street. The injured man cannot speak English, but as near as could be made out through an inter- preter the name of the dead man is as given above, Joseph Florero, and that of the injured man Antonio Santoro.
 The team with which they were driv- ing belonged to Joseph Decrosti, who also lives at IS Vine street. The dead man was between thirty-fve and forty years of age,
 The car which struck the men leaves Yale field at 9:25. Motorman Edward Newton and Conductor Charles Me- Mann were in charge.

Senate Estimate

'iol1t pioE, iff,uVV
 ''The committee estimate the receipts from internal revenue for the same pe-
 riod at $170, 100000 If We add to this
 the treasury estimate for miscellaneous
 receipts, s20,000,000, and the receipts on account of the postoffice, $96, 227 ,076, we
 have a total estimated receipts for the
 fiscal year 1898 of $469671, ,076, or an es-
 timated excess of receipts over expendi-
 lures for that year of s2,725,02S
 'In estimating the receipts for inter- nal revenue for this year we have add ed to the usual receipts from this source $23,900, ,000-the estimate of the internal revenue bureau of the addi- tional revenue which will be derived from the increase in taxes on fermented liquors and the duties on tea should be imposed until January 1, 1900, by which date 1t is believed the business of the country will have adjusted itself to the new tariff and the customs receipts and internal revenue taxes will supply ann pie revenue to meet the expenses of the government
 'Jf the estimated revenue of the duty on tea and the additional internal rev. enue taxes should be omitted from the committees estimates of receipts, there would be an estimated deficiency of $29, ,175000 instead of a surplus of $2,- 72502S
 "The committee believe it to be the imperative duty of congress to provide in the measure under consideration for a revenue which will certainly meet the requirements of the government for the next fiscal year. The adoption of a. revenue bill which should fail In this purpose, and which would create an additional deficiency in the immediate future, and which would require fur ther issue of bonds to meet current ex- penditures, would certainly be fatal to the hopes of future success of any po- litical party responsible for such legis- lation.
 'In selecting the sources of additional revenue the committee decided to in- crease temporarily the tax on articles of voluntary use, rather than to assess additional duties, which might prove in- operative, upon articles of necessity or upon those which enter into our manu- factured products. Assuming that the necessity for additional revenue exists and of this we believe there can be no question, there Is no economic req son, and certainly none that affects the public interests, why beer and to-
 bacco should not bear their share of additional taxation. The committee be- lieve that the duty proposed on tea will not prove a serious burden upon the consumers of that article"
 
 Senator Aldrich, on behalf of the re- publican members of the senate com- mittee on finance gave notice of thirty two amendments to the tariff bill which will be offered as the bill progresses. MT. Aldrich closed at 3:10 D. m, hav- ing spoken over an hour.
 MT. Pettigrew then presented an amendment of which he has heretofore given notice that when articles are manufactured by a trust, articles of such character imported from abroad shall be free of duty. He said he would ask its consideration immediately (Continued on Seventh Page.)

MILL RIVER BRIDGE.
Committee on Railroads and Bridges Un-
 decided.

Committee on Railroads and Bridges Un-
 decided.
 The Mill river bridge contract is still the subject of inquiry by the commit tee on railroads and bridges of the court of common council, and last eve- ming another public hearing was given the subject. The ante-room of the councilmanic chamber, in which the hearing was held, was filled with inter ested and disinterested spectators.
 Although the court of common coun- cil ordered the bridge built many time the board of public works who advertised for bids, setting forth the plans and specifications made by the city engineer, received the same and re- ported to the court of common council, there is now no prospect that the bridge will be begun for another month.
 The presence before the committee of an engineer who has a plan which he claims is much cheaper and economical than those drawn by the regularly em- ployed city engineer gives rise to the opinion that the committee to whom the original measure was committed are of the opinion that some one had made mistake.
 The hearing last evening was almost solely confined to a scientific discus sion between Engineers Hill and Keith MT. Hill claims that his plan spread be- ofre the commmittee last evening call for a less expensive structure.
 <, N. w. Kendall and s. J. Fox were present at the hearing and urged upon the committee the necessity of prompt action. No decision was reached

BEG THE LIBERALS TO ATTEND.
Yet They Refuse to Present Themselves at
 the COrtes,

Madrid, May 25.-The president of the chamber of deputies, senor Pidal, in the name of the majority, has begged Senor Sagasta, the liberal leader, to pursuade the liberals to re-attend the sittings of the cortes. Senor Sagasta replied that the question was between the government and the liberals and not between the liberals and the major- ity.
 Consequently the chamber of deputies met to-day without the liberal mem bers.
 The minister of the colonies, senor Castallene, read a bill introduced to provide for the expenses of the war in Cuba and the Phillipine islands.

The next three called were satisfactory to the defence, and in less than half an hour after the court con- vened District Attorney Davis opened the case with his statement to the jury.
