by the Libberal Leader.

speaking in London this evening, said
that while the Liberals favored unity be-
tween the colonies and the mother coun-
try. they did not agree with the principles
OF federation, which in their opinion,

better than the present system.
Sir Dixie dwelt upon the importance of
increasing British influence in Burmah
with a view Of securing there field tor fu-
ture trade. he spoke o. the great bene-
fits to the trade to be derived from a good
understanding with China, and said that
an alliance with China was worth allian-
ces with dozen countries like Turkey. It
was not intended, be said. that the free
educational system should interfere with
voluntary schools. He advocated sepa-
rate army for India In order to avoid loss
es by sickness and greater dependence
upon volunteers In time Of war.

CHATTANOOGA, Oct. 20.--The war be-
tween the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia railroad and the Western and
Atlantic railroad is now reaching eli
max. The latter has had an Office at
Knoxville for several weeks, to cut under
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor-
Cia on all Southwest business. The East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia to-day
Opened-a permanent office in Nashville,
and announced reduction OF 10 per cent.
IN rates to the Southeast and Jackson
vile. This step of the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia carries the war into
the territory OF the Louisville and
Nashville road, and must necessarily
involve that line. All cuts are made from
Chattanooga as base, each OF the war
ring lines paying local rates from Nash
willie and knoxville to this city. The
trouble arises from the fact that both sys-
TENS have parallel lines out of Chatta-
nOOga and Atlanta, and no pool arrange
ment will be observed. The war has
been in progress already two months and
is now being waged with renewed energy,
and further reductions are quite proba-

LIVELY OUTLOOK.
ATLANTA, Oct. 20.-ln railroad circles
tonight it is freely stated that the coming
week will bring with it a bitter fight be-
tween the East Tennessee. Virginia and
Georgia railroad and the Central railroad
for the passenger business out of Atlanta
to the State fair at Macon. The Central
has announced a rate OF 81 80 for the
round trip. and the East Tennessee, Vir-
ginia and Georgia. it is said, will cut the
rate so as 10 make round trip
tickets 81. Should the Central
meet this rate, then the East Tennessee
will make another cut OF 80 cents on every
ticket. IL is understood that the Central
road has notified its AGENTS here to meet
all cuts made by the East Tennessee, and
the East Tennessee in turn says it will
have passengers for Doc. less than the
Centrals rate, no matter what that is.
The best information is that the fight Will
result i'm tree rides, and probably induce
ments Of some character added. This
fight, it is said, will not be confined 20
this territory, but will extend through TO

The Potomac Regatta.

THE QUESTION RAISED OVER THE EIGHT
DARED AND LIGHTWEIGHT RACES STILL
UNDECIDED.
At the meeting of the joint committee Of the
Potomac river regatta last evening the princi-
pal subject considered was the question OF the
eight-oared and lightweight races. No solution
of the vexed question was reached.
The representatives Of the Columbia and
washington clubs favored the acceptance of the
entries OF both the Columbia eightOared crews
and OF the two Potomac lightweight crews,
holding that the races had been properly filed
In accordance with the rules of the National as
ISOLATION, under which the regatta is conducted.
The representatives of the Potomac and Ana
lostan clubs opposed holding the races in ques-
tion as now constituted, on the ground that
they were not filed by the entries from two
separate clubs There the matter hangs, every
proposition to either accept or reject the entries
resulting In 9 tie. 1t is hoped that an under
standing will be reached before Thursday, as
these oiSsensions among the clubs tend to lessen
the pubic interest in the races, and the annual
regatta will be the sufferer thereby.
Tne committee on the course reported that 1t
had been found necessary to move the starting
boat nearer the Long bridge on account Of OBJ

moved, and the finish will therefore be opposite
