NEW TARIFF SCHEDULES
The Seaboard Reduces Rates
For Cotton.
FROM TO IA CENTS LOWER
The Southern States Freight Associa-
ton Gives Notice That it viii
File Its New Schedule
To-Day.

Washington, Sept. 10.-There were
more Developments in the rate war
Z in the South to-day, and both princi-
pals in the contest that is being waged
gave formal announcementtoth to the Inter
state Commerce Commission of new
tariff rate schedules.
The Sealooard Air Line has reduced the
rates for cotton in bales from all points
on its system to Wilmington, n. c.,
Portsmouth. Norfolk and Suffolk, Va.
This is a cut of from 4 to IA cents. The
rate from Atlanta to Wilmington is
cut from 43 to 35, and from Atlanta to
Norfolk from 40 to IS. The schedule
becomes operative September IA.
The cut made by the Southern States
Freight Association is a sweeping one.
TT reduced the rate on all tirst-class
Freight to points on the lines COM
nris;ng the Association: 30 per cent.
from Boston: over 40 from New York,
and SIS from Philadelphia. a telegram
TO the Commission, however, says the
Association has cancelled the schedule
and will file a substitute tomorrow.
The schedule filed to-day was fixed to
take effect September -, but the Com
mission will not allow it to go into OPP
Grafton then through lack of sufficient
notice.
The Port Royal and Augusta Rail-
road gave notice of non-concurrence
in this rate. The points given in the
new tariff are Atlanta, Athens, South
Athens and Flberton, Georgia, and Abb
beville. Carlisle, Chester, Clinton and
Greenwood, South Carolina To all
points except Chester, the rate from
New York is now 65 cents per 100
pounds, first-class freight. The Char
lesion rate is 81 cents. Heretofore the
tariff has been an even one of $1.14
from Boston, New York and Philadel-
phia to these places.

A Remarkable Race Paced by
Gentry and Starpointer.
GENTRY WAS THE WINNER
Equalling the Worlds Record
Made by Robert J.
he PACED A MILE IN 2:oI Ia
Average Time of the Three Heats Was
just One Quarter Second Slower
Than the Worlds Record
Made Last Week.

Glen Falls, n. ", Sept. 10.-The first
of the series of three races between the
great pacing stations, John r. Gentry
(2:03H) and Starpointer (2:041s), for
a purse of $4,000, with $500 added by
the association, should the track record
of 2:03 be beaten, took place to-day
on the mile track of the Northern
New York Trotting Breeders Associa-
tion.
At Fleetwood Park, Gentry lowered
the colors of Robert j., Frank Agan
and Starpointer, winning the most
remarkable harness race on record,
pacing the fastest three consecutive
miles known. To-day the same hand
some stallion equalled the worlds re-
cord made by Robert j., at Terre Haute,
two years ago, going a mile and win
ming the heat by almost a full length
in 2:o1h. The average time of the
three heats of to-day's race was just
one quarter of a second slower than
the worlds record made at Fleetwood
last week.
This match brought out upwards of
1000 people. The horses were in the
pink of condition and looked right to
make the race of their lives.
The pools were selling / to on
Gentry and to on Starpointer. They
closed at to 2 ON Gentry.
They were given the word on the
second score. Starpointer had the pole.
They started very level and held the
position from the wire to the half-mile
pole, with Gentry at Starpointer's sad
die. Andrews let out loop and Gentry
closed up the distance, but moment
later went back to Starpointer's seat.
As they sped around into the home
stretch the stations were as if in one
harness. Then with a furious drive,
the Fleetwood record holder pushed
his nose ahead and won the heat in
2:03%.
The second heat was called at 4
o'clock. At that time quite a breeze
was blowing.
The horses were given the word on
the first score, and more magnificent
race was never witnessed. They went
along as one horse to the five-eighths
pole when Starpointer, who was on
the outside, straining with every mus
Gle, managed to show his head in front.
In this stretch Gentry, by wonderful
burst of speed, flew past his rival,
passing under the wire a full length
in front, with the worlds record to
his account of 2:01h. The vast as
semblage went wild with enthusiasm
for it seemed even before the time
was posted that a record had gone
down.
After such a wonderful performance
the third heat proved somewhat a dis
appointment. They got off on the first
score and after travelling the first half
neck and neck. Starpointer went back
to Gentry's wheel. He closed again to
the stretch when Andrews again made
his drive and Gentry took the third
heat in 2:05A.
I'm the 2:07 class, Arnetta won in
two straight heats.

General J. w. Laurie, who gained fame
in the Riel rebellion, and who now
represents Pembroke-Wales in the
English House of Commons, last night
discussed the political situation from
the standpoint of gold man. In the
last two months he has travelled ex-
tensively through the South and West.
He said: 81 believe that the free sir
yer sentiment as represented by the
Democratic platform and candidates
will win. You gold men are over con-
fident. 1t appears that the South will
naturally be Democratic and the West
will surely swing into line. The gold
men of the East as a rule are stronger
party men than they are sound cur
rency advocates, and they will vote
for the ticket. The result will be the
election of Bryan and Sewall."

enemy this afternoon, represented by
banners of the signal corps indicating
the enemy's front in the attack.
The regiment was divided into two
battalions, commanded respectively by
Major Rutzler and Capt. Gardner. The
advance was made by successive rushes
from one point of advantage to anoth-
er, the rapid fire of one advance cover
ing that of the other, supported on
either flank by Gatling gun and field
pieces, and was exceedingly realistic.
The Withdrawal of the forces after. the
attack was handsomely accomplished,
by the reserve force in command of Col

the intervals and successfully cover

of the troops by the respective COM

artillery support was very effective,
and added greatly to Jhe success of the
