 | Milford was very much stirred up yes terday morning when the news spread | that Robert c. Chase, son of Wallace | S. Chase, librarian of the Taylor library, | had wandered off during the night. It seems the young man has been study 1 ing hard of late and had failed to pass | his examinations, held recently, and it | had slightly unbalanced him. Parties set out in search for him, but up to l this evening no trace of him had been found. A report was circulated this af- ternoon to the effect that he had been found at the home of his relatives in l Stamford, but it was without founda- | ton.

 A letter from Professor Richardson written on receipt of the first e5O, May 2I says: T think it a great piece of good fortune for the interests of the poor, and for the interests of the peo- pie of New Haven as well, that they had in view others besides the Cretans, and gave MT Alexander and me some degree of discretion in the matter. If they realized as We do the needs of the people of Thessaly and Epirus, they would thank us for considering them as the more proper objects of charity. The Cretans have already been helped a good deal, and now the beson of de- struction has swept over fair Thessaly; and the Greeks of Epirus, who like the Thessalians have lost all, will not dare to go back even after the con- clusion of peace, because they have dared to show active hostility to Tur- key. I directed that the money be dis tributed as follows: e10 to Cretans, G20 to Thessalians, e20 to Epirates."

BULLET PIERCED HIS HEART
William Lewis, COlOred, Ends a
Spree With Suicide.
Remorse Over Wreck Of His Once
Happy Home Prompted the
Deed-Died Instantly.

William H Lewis, a oolored man, thirty
one years old, shot and instantly Killed
himself yesterday afternoon at his home,
No. 1914 Reeves street northwest. The
bullet buried itself in the tissues OF the
heart, and barely eloan crossed the
suicides lips before death came.
Whisky caused the deed. Lewis had
been on a prolonged spree since the hnli-
days began, and since Friday OF last week
had been constantly under the Influence
OF liquor, despite the entreaties OF his
wife and friends TO sober up
Together with his wife, Hattie Lewis,
he had accumulated a considerable quantity
OF household effects since their marriage
more than two years ago, and had a very
pleasant home at 1915 K street north
west Gradually, however, the ornaments
and furniture disappeared ard the money
was spent for whisky. Yesterday the wife
and drunken husband were compelled to
seek shelter at the home of MIS-. Lew is
grandmother, Hester Jackson, on Reeves
street where the suicide took place.
Rernorse, on account OF the wreck
wrought in his home, brought Lewis to a
standstill yesterday and he sobbngly prom
ised To return to work this morning. He
Moses & Sons during the past two years,
and though known as II hard drinker, he
has been regarded by the firm as an eff
Gent stable man. Lewis had not been
seen by his employers since Friday last,
but visit yesterday secured for him a
promise of work this morning, and he
returned to his home shortly before 3
O'Clock seemingly in juhilant spirits.

small bedroom on the second floor of the
house to change his clothes, saying to
his wife as he closed the door, Il am
going away, Hattie, and / won't come
back any more An instant later the
report OF a pistol was heard. The wife
and siSter-in-law, Mrs. julia Williams,
rushed into the room and found Lewis
lying on the bed with a slight wreath
! of smoke curling up from his shirt, which
had been ignited by the flash OF the pistol
The weapon, a small affair of the bull
| dog pattern had falle IL from his hand, and
| lay upon the floor. With gasp the man
| was dead
The screams of the women aroused the
neighborhood, and soon a crowd OF ex.
cited people had gathered about the house
Policemen Lightfoot and Foley. of the
| Second precinct, cleared the house OF
curious sight-seers until the arrival Of
| Coroner Hammett.
The coroner thoroughly Investigated tn,
affair and deemed an inquest unnecessary.
w. II. Lewis, sr., the father of the dead
man, who lives at 226 Twelfth street
southeast, was notified and visited the
| house last night He could give no further
| explanation than that drink caused his
son to take his life.
Lewis. when churchgoer, attended ser
| vices at the Mount Vernon Baptist Church
of which at one time he was an active
member. 1t is probable that the funera
services will be conducted 10y Rev. Georg

some of them TO considerable later date.
This was the result OF special effort
on the part OF the Commissioner to ex-
pedite movcme nts in the progress OF
patents through the department and the
success OF the examiners is very crafty
ing TO him.
When the last report was made several
of the divisions were two and three months
behind, and one as much us six months.
Furthermore, the situation was not then as
unfavorable as it had been on several pre-
viOus occasions.

season OF the COrcoran Cadets and Queer
Wheelmen in a league game of basketball
and resulted in victory for the soldier
boys by the close score OF to 3.
All available space was taken up by the
spectators, and it was one OF the largest
crowds to witness game this season.
The witnesses of the contest were not
disappointed in any way, as it was one OF
the fastest and cleanest, well played games
of the series.
But little unnecessary rough playing
was INDUCED in and In consequence it was
a free passing and open game, and the
young players deserve credit for the eX-
cellence OF their work.
Davis OF the Corcorans, was injured in
the first inning. but he pluckily stayed il
the game and played IL out.

Senate Foreign Relations Committee
Considered Several Conventions.


The time of the session of the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations yesterday was
occupied in the consideration OF the eXtradi-
ton treaties with the Orange Free State
and the Argentine Republic, with whom
the United States have never had any eX-
tradition agreeme
The conventions laid before the COM
mttee were almost identical. They pro-
vided for the eXtradition of fugitiives from
justice charged with the commission OF
crimes which this country holds to be eX-
traditable. The usual precautions are
taken to prevent the extradition OF men
charged with political offenses only.
A favorable report was ordered to be
made on the treaties at the next executive

To nearly empty Senate yesterday Mr.
Call of Florida made a radical speech
on the Cuban question. lie spoke on his
resolution relative to the recent condemna-
ton Of Julio Sanguilly at Havana. He
reviewed the Sancuilly and GOWN cases
and declared that GOWN had been tied
TO a tree and hacked TO pieces by the
Spauiards lie read extracts from let
tiers. giving details OF this and ether Span
fish atrocities.
His remarks were full OF information
and interest. and had features that would
have made his presentation sensational
one had il not been for the paucity Of at
Tendance At no time during his remarks
were two dozen Senators in their chairs.
The Florida Senator is the mostadvanced
Cuban Sympaihizer III the body. He said
yesterday that if these atrocities continued
to shock the American people, without
waiting for and even regardless OF the
action of government, they would pour
into the island and put an end to them
Murder of Americans.
He declared that the Spanish prisons
were being drcnched with patriot blood,
much of it American. and recounted with
much bitterness that every possible effort
was being excIted 10y the American gov
ernment To continue the conditions as they
now existed.
Although the Cuban resolutions were not
discussed in the session of tire Committee
on Foreign Relations yesterday morning,
owing to the absence Of Mr.. Cameron,
the members OF the committee talked
about the resolutions informally after the
other business had been finished.
1t seems certain from the temper Of the
committee that If the effort Is made 10
have the Cameron resolutions referred
back to the committee there will be a
bitter fight. and the committee will in
durSe its action in ordering thc report and
resolution which are now on the calendar.
Such effort is not anticipated, for Mr..
Hale and those who are with him, are
satisfied with the present condition OF
things. ana viii do nothing to start the
agitation.
Against the Resolution.
Members Of the committee appreciate
The strength OF the organization that has
been effected To prevent final action
by the Senate, and there appears to be a
taCiu understanding that the resolutions
shall not now be pushed. A sufficient
number Of Senators have been arrayed on
the other side TO protract debate, and tht
friends Of the resolutions find that 10y rush
ing them they viii pass no appropriation
bills.
This they do not care to do, although
there are a few Of the more ra dcal Sena
tors who would even go to the extreme
secure the passage of the resolutions. Tht
present indications appear to be against

CHARACTERIZED AS A CRIME
Free Wool Clause of the Wilson
Revenue Bill.
TALK AT TARIFF HEARING
Since Its Passage the Price of
Grazing Lands Has Decreased
and Only One-half of Them Are
UtiIized-Demand for Protection
Equal to other Industries.

The tariff hearings before the Ways and
Means Committee were continued yester-
day, raw wool" being the schedule under
consideration.
John G. Clark OF Washington county,
Pa a member of the National Wool Grow
ers' Association, opened the hearing. The
necessity for protection, he said, was now
apparent, the experiment Of free Wool
having brought bankruptcy and distress
upon many engaged in the woolgrowing
business. The free wool clause OF the Will
sol. bill be characterized as n crime.
Since its passage the price OF grazing
lands had decreased and only about half
OF them were utilized. He would not ask
an extreme rate OF duty, hut simply one
which would perpetuate the business and
give growers chance To 1--we. If rate
OF this character was given farm lands
would be utilized for wcolgrowfng and
the American farmers would be able 10
produce all the wool used in tins country.
Since the number OF sheep had been re-
duccd there had been surplus OF farm
lands for which there was no use.
William Lawrence, of Ohio, president OF
the National Wool Growers Association,
hoped that the next Congress would give
the woolgrowers protection equal to THAT
given TO the most favored industries. This
country had the requisite climate, soil and
lands To produce the $50 900 900 pounds
OF wool of all kinds used yearly by tho
American mills. To produce the nects
sary amount of wool would require 10,
