with the Board of Health. Among other things
the bill excludes tuberculosis from the list Of

SenOr PldaI Aims at Recommendation

Madrid, Jan 3.-Senor Pidal president OF
the Chamber of Deputies, on assuming the
presidency of the Circulo Conservation, to-
night delivered an important speech, aim
ed at the recons truction Of the several
parties.
He denounced the liberal policy for re-
moving Gen. Weyler; for granting Cuban
autonomy aud urged loyal following or
the policy of the late Senor Canovas.
In the course of a trenchant attack on
the behavior of the United States, he Cit
ed its abandonment of the Monroe doctrine

German warships."
Senior Pldal said: I'VE must remark
that the scandalous violation of interna-
tional right with which America denounces
Spain j. a consequence of the ignoring OF
such rights recognized everywhere by lio-
erals. Witness Poland Ireland and the
pontifcal states despolled by despotlsnl.
The indifference of the conservative class
has only conduced TO the present apathy,
whereby the world hears unmoved the am
uouncement of the American violation OF
all rights and all law except brutal force.
How often have ! been called the enc

tional rights practiced by nations possess.

the same process might some day be ap

How often have | been ridiculed
by those who now suggest war with the
American iingoes. holding that the United
States far from the apostles of universal
peace, were converting the children of
Washington and Franklin into people of
radicals, who, while obliged to renounoe

fore the guns of German ironcIads, purpose
to apply 1t in Cuba, believing that the

Vile to-day the dead bodies of Miss Viola
Marquandt, aged % years. daughter of
wealthy farmer. and Michael Miller, aged
26. a saloon keeper were found lying In
a room in the rear of Mllers saloon.
Miller lay in the bed at the side OF
the room. Blood from a bullet wound i'm
Viola lay in a heap in the middle of the
floor, shot to death in the same place.
A revolver with two chambers empty
lay near her right hand.
Miller returned from Fort Wayne last
night.
Both bodies We're in full street dress.
Two letters. one purporting to be from
Viola and the other from young Miller.
were found. In each was the declaration
that they wanted to die together and be-
buried together.
The coroner reports that 1t would have
been impossible for Miller to have moved
after receiving the fatal shot.
The letters tend to prove a double sui
eide, but the revolver near the girls hand
cannot be accounted for. except by the
theory that she died after her lover.
