Postal Telegraph Bill Introduced in Congress Aims to Establish Service
The bill, authored by Mr. Hopkins of Illinois at the request of Postmaster General Wanamaker, would authorize the Post Office to contract with private lines to transmit correspondence and money orders, with rates agreed upon by parties and prepaid by stamp. It imposes no new offices or extra clerks and keeps within existing post office funding, while extending penalties for violations and enabling treaties with foreign nations for interchanges. A second item reports a large tobacco factory fire in St. Louis destroying the upper floors, with workers evacuated and no serious injuries.
