The Reagan bill, it is urged would
cause such a revolution in rates, rail

and such clashing of interests, that
it would add greatly to the present

circles which have heretofore been
quite loud in their complaint Of rail
way monopoly, The discussion, thus

they had no artillery. Yet, with all these dis
advantages, the British force was disposed in
two cumbrOus squares the effect Of which was
to impede their mobility and to reduce the front
of fire to one-fOurth of what it might have been.
The square formation for attack Is essentially
vicious, and Is a mere expression of conscious

large square, as at Ell Teb, is to put all vonr
eggs into one basket. It was fOrtu nate. indeed.
