A Section of the Town of Miami in
 Ashes.

Dynamite was used to check the flames, but not until every house in town was consumed was the fire brought under control
 Miami, of which Red Springs is considered a part. escaped. The houses, which belonged to the Miami Copper company. were covered by Insurance. but little of the household effects of the employees were insured and they will suffer heavily. The town will be rebuilt at once.

FINAL STEP
 POSTPONED important Amendments To
 Railroad Measure ON THE EVE OF VOTING
It Is Proposed to Place Tel egraph and Telephone Companies Also Under Control of the Interstate Commerce Commission.

Washington, May 27.-At the last moment before reaching the point of voting on the railroad bill today the senate took the important step of add ing an ansendment placng interstate telegraph and telephone lines under the supervision of the interstate com merce commission.
 This action was followed by an ef- fort to restore the portion of section F, affecting mergers, which hereto fore was voted out. Both provisfpns were introduced so suddenly as to sur prise the senate, and the latter was considered so important that, rather than vote upon it without more con sideration. the senate took an adjourn ment until tomorrow.
 The suggestion for the inclusion of telegraph and telephone companies within the control of the commission was made by Sepator Dixon of N.Sn- tana, but ultimately his amendment was supplanted by one in simple form offered by Senator La Toilette. Wire less was excepted.
 The result of the vote had no soon CT been announced than Mir. Brown of Nebraska arose -to present his amend ment reviving portion of section 12. As presented. his amendment prohibits all common carriers from acquiring any interest whatsoever in the capital stock of. or purchasing or leasing by railroad which is competitive company.
 The suggestion of this important ac- tion, following closely as it did upon the vote to replace telegraph and telephone companies under the control of the commission, was more than the senate was willing to accept without more opportunity for deliberation.
