London. January 21, 1899.
The Unionlsts have been making merry for
several weeks over the scratch race for the LIB

faction-rent Opposition. All is fair in love and

weapons. The Tories were equally jovial and
ironical in Mr.. Dsraelrs time when Mr.. Glad

polemics with Newman and Manning over Papal

History does not always repeat Itself, but when
Unionists take up their parable from the earlier

the logical conclusion. The party in Opposition
seemed to be hopelessly demoralized when Lord
Harrington was chosen the leader; yet It's
triumph was closer at hand than the most san
guine Liberal anticipated.
The parallel is one which may be critically
examined. Mr.. Gladstone. Mr.. Bright and Mr.

COAST LINE DEAL.
Terms Made With l.. & N. Are Off,
ciaIly Outlined.

NEW YORK, Sept 1.-THE following
explanation was made tonight by author
ity of August Belmont & Co. of the ac-
tual terms of agreement between the At
lantic Coast line and the Louisville &
Nashville:
1T Is true that the Louisville & Nash
vile has disposed of a half interest in the
lease of the Georgia railroad to the At
lantic Coast line. The papers have not
been delivered yet but the negotiations
have been completed. BY the terms of
this transaction the Atlantic Coast line
becomes a co-lessee of the property, on
equal terms with the Louisville and Nash
VILE. which for the past year has been
sole lessee. Originally the central of Geor-
gia was a co-lessee with the Louisville
& Nashville, but forfeited its interest by
failing to pay Its part of the expense in
CURED, the court declaring the Louisville
& Nashville became sole lessee We
had right to dispose of this half interest
in the Georgia railroad lease and we have
done so to the Atlantic Coast line
ut is not true that the coast line was
acting for the Southern railway in this
transaction. The Atlantic Coast line Is an
Independent railway system, of which
Harry Walters, of Wilmington, N c., is
president. The Southern railway does not
own uOllaf OF i STOCK, so tar as Is
known. The Southern railway is an inde-
pendent railroad system, of which Samuel
Spencer, of this city, is president The
Louisville & Nashville is another inde-
pendent company, which we are manag-
ing for the holders of It's securities. These
three independent corporations are in no
way drawn together by the terms of the
lease of the Georgia railroad. All reports
to the effect that these railroads have in
any way acquired control one of the 9TH
er, or have pooled traffic interests, are
without the slightest foundation-meres
nonsense"
