One Of the wooden mills at Magalps Factory
was destroyed by fire Tuesday, June 22d.
The cause of the fire is unknown but is sup
pos sed to have been from sparks or from a
defective chimney. William Beatty is in
possession of the mill property; he has no
insurance on the buildings. The Hon.
Samuel Magall of St. Paul, Mimi, has a
mortgage on the property. 1t has not been
ascertained as yet that he had any insurance
on the mill. The cost of the machinery is
about $4,000. On the old mill the loss is
estimated at about $4,000.
Samuel Glims is building fine cottage on

FROM WASHINGTON
Senator Hale Makes Strong Speech
on the Subsidy Amendment
Especial to the PRESS ]

lopecldl W tuO hhsS'j
WASHINGTON, June 28-The Senate this
afternoon by vote of 80 to 12 decided to
still further insist upon its so-called subsidy
amendment to the post Office appropriation
bill. Senator Hale made a strong speech OF
about three-quarters Of an hour, saying that
in the present contest the Senate in
the end might be compelled to withdraw
from its position. Yet the question would
not end here. The time would come when
American people would demand OF Congress
encouragement for its commercial interests
such as is given by England, France, Ger
many ond other countries to theirs. He said
the whole postal service was system OF
subsidies, that large number of Star routes
were greater subsidized lines than proposed
by amendment, and that where post offices
were fewest and the needs least there the
amounts paid were the largest in order to en-
courage frequent communication between
sections. He also spoke of the growing
trade with South American countries, and
read from manifesto vessel recently sail
ing from New York to South American ports
which bore $155,100 of goods from shops,
farms and manufactures of 26 different
he said, because they had to compete with
lines of Eng land and other countries, which
on account of subsidies received could re-
duce their freight rates so low as to
be ruinous for the American lines and
would drive them from the business.
The general impression seems TO be that
the Senate will be obliged to recede from its
amendment in the end.
