Latest improved methods in the art of scientific strangulation will be em- ployed and everything possible will be done to make the surroundings cheer ful and the execution success.

the Lind building rs to 90 Market street
one of the few buildings which stood intact
through the great fire of 1871, and the
several smaller fires which threatened to
destroy it since that time. Owing to the
fact that a special call for thirty engines

guard the downtown district and these,
assisted by two fire tugs, subdued the
flames after three hours struggle. The
building, which was a seven-story struct-
ure, was occupied by a large number Of
firms, the majority of them being machin
lists, printers and engravers. The total
loss is estimated at s725,ooO OF this

senate opposition has by interruptions,
not allowed the premier, Senior Sagast1, to

The meeting of the bureau this evening
to appoint committee to examine the bill
for the cession of the Philippines resulted
in a nominal success. Although the min

the opposition candidates only two, yet IN

The Republican notion in favor of sum-
mOning the constituent assembly led to a
stormy debate in the chamber of deputies.
Prof. Salmeron, the Republican leader, in
the course of a violent speech, said the
Republicans had resumed their seats in
parliament in order to force the govern
ment to accept its responsibilities. In his
opinion, not only those governing, but
present institutions themselves would fall
victims to the present disasters. He Sc
verely cesured the ministers for endeavor-
ing to save the monarchy rather than the
country. Your colonial policy" he said.
was disastrous because you joined sword
theocracy, with all sorts of privileges. The
government has surrendered TO the United
States Spainf whole colonial empire. and
the peace that has been signed is the most
shameful recorded in history"
Prof. Salmeron, after being called to or
der for a yelled reference 10 the crown,
declared that the Conservative party was
primarily responsible for the country's dis
asters. since it had failed to apply in Cuba
reforms voted by all parties and that the
present government must also be held re-
sponsible for making dishonorable peace.
He advocated calling the constituent as
