Left Sealed Note to His Bride of
 Eight Months.

New York, Aug. 3.-Lieutenant Charles B. Brilliant of the United States navy, was found dead from a bullet wound at the Hotel Astor in his room overlooking Broadway late today. There was no circums stances to contradict the coroner's immediate opinion that the case was one of sui eide In one of his hands which were crossed over his body as it lay in a chair, he clutched at a 32 calibre re- volver with all but one of the cham bers loaded. A bullet from the empty chamber he'd struck his right temple and made its way through his head and it was found on the floor behind him.
 To Mrs. Charles B. Brilliant. who is his bride of but eight months. the naval lieutenant had sealed, address ed aid stamped a letter which the cor oner forwarded tonight, without open ing, to Mrs. Brilliant in Washington CD. tC.)
 Lieutenant Brilliant arrived at the Astor shortly before noon Tuesday, without baggage, and in recognition of his standing in the navy he was shown to a room without the neces- sity of paying in advance. From this time on no special attention was paid to the guest and nothing was heard of him until a maid complained this afternoon that she could not get into his room. Entrance was forced from an adjoining room and the body was found as described
 Identification was made from a checkbOOk. showing a balance of $202 in Washington bank.
 The body was removed to the Belle Vue hospital morgue, where an autopsy could be found who heard the shot but 1t was the coroner's opinion that the lieutenant had been dead at least twelve hours. He was apparently be- tween 35 and 40 years of age.
 Brilliant Disappeared Monday.

Brother officers spent all of yes- terday and last night in searching this city and Baltimore for him, and today called on the police of all the big cities to assist in the hunt.

 Lieutenant Brilliant had been in charge of the power station at the Washington navy yard following a term of sea duty, and was universally popular. Eight months ago he married young woman of this city. Mrs. Brilliant tonight is prostrated, but rel atives have left for New York and burial. The officer was born in Kan sas, but was appointed to the naval academy from Pennsylvania.

Young, Jr. from the Brook 1yn yard ten days later.

Democrats and Insurgent Republicans of the
 House Form Combination
WILL REDUCE REVENUES $3,Ooo,o
Senate Amendment to Free List Bill Accepted, Im- proving Chances of That Measure in Senate Senate Passes Reapportionment Bill, Adding 42 More Con- gressmen Annual Expense of S4OO,OOO

Washington, August Unsupported by all the democrats and by thirty in- surgent republicans, the democratic cotton tariff bill, the third of the big tariff revision measures brought for ward by the democratic house, passed that body early this evening by 20z to 51. The bill cuts the average tariff on cotton manufactured goods from AS to 27 per cent. ad valorem, a 21 per cent reduction in duty, that the dem ocratic leaders estimate to reduce rev. enues about $3,O00.000
 No Amendments Offered.
 Not an amendment was offered to the bill. although the republicans at- tackled it vigorously on account of al- legged increases in certain items over the rates of the Payne 1rich tariff jaw. Scarcely had the cheers that greeted the passage of the cotton re- vision bill subsided when Democratic Leader Underwood. calling up the free list bill as it passed the senate a few days ago. accomplished a strategic movement which surprised the republi- cans.
 Lemons Put on Free List
 He asked for a conference on all the amendments to the free list bill exS cept that of Senator Gronna of NOrHh Dakota putting cement on the free list. He urged that the house accept that amendment, adding to it lemons. Pa cific coast republicans made intellectual attempts to stop tEis sudden and un- expected putting of lemons on the free list. but the amendment carried. The change gave the house democrats what they claimed to be an added advantage in dealing with the senate in the con- ference committee.
