Senator Hill, of Colorado, who has introduced a bill on this subject more acceptable to many senators than that of Senator Edmunds, will doubtless be chairman of the post office committee, to which the subject will be referred. TEXT OF SENATOR HILLS n1LL, Wasniraron, D, C,y Dec. 7. nator Hill, of Colorado, who yesterday intro duced a bill to establish & system of pos tal telegraphs in the United States, asked that it might lie on the table until he could address the senate on the im portance of its passage. Ho said this evening that he had prepared an clabor ato argument in its favor, and hoped to have the privilege of presenting it to the senate before the holiday recess, The bill, it is understood, has” been prepared with the assistance of experts and those intimate with telegraphy and the nec sities of the public and business general- ly. Should Senator Hill be made chair- an of the senate committes on post- offices and post roads it is certain that the subject will not be kept back, Hay- ing Senator Edmunds as an ally in the movement, though his bill ditfers some- what from the plan proposed by Senator Hill, it is already assured that postal tel egraphy or government telegraphy undor the supervisi the postmiaster-gen- sion of eral will be discussed at this session of ngress. TEAT OF THE BILL, The bill of Senator Hill provides That on and after July 1, 1887, mess- ages for transmission by telegrapli, tele- phone, ot other equivalent device, may be deposited at all places in the United States whore lotters for transmission by mail may be deposited under the law and regulations governing the postollice department, and at such other places as the postmaster general may designate.
