X6 REDUCED TABES. nirln tb low Pasiscnre1 Rat tn Ne braska, tiio Western Pasengtv A-HTM-laUon Refuses to Grant a Special Rate to Uie-Hryan JioUfioatKm Meeting A Discrimination Against tht Party, Says ciiairmaa aincn. Chicago, Aug. 7. Norman E. Mack, chairman of the Democratic national committee, was advised to-night that no reduced railroad rateipwttt-bs-pjit into effect for the Bryan notification meeting at Ulncoln. Neb., on August 12th. The communication came from Eben E. MacLeod, chairman of the Western Passenger Association, and was in reply to a letter sent to Mac Leod by Mr. Mack earlier in the day, calling attention to the fact that re duced fares had been granted on the occasion of the Taft notification in Cincinnati, whereas no concessions had been made for the Democratic gath ering. The correspondence was pro ceded by several telephonic conversa tions between Messrs. Mack and Mac Leod, the latter explaining the ac tion of the railroads by referring to the faet that no reduced rates had been put Into effect for any events in Nebraska since the passage of the two-cent fare law in that State. He also emphasized the fact that the re duced ratus to Cincinnati were quot ed by the Central Passenger Associa tion, but that no reduction was made for the Taft meeting In Western Pas senger Association territory, and that there was no discrimination by the Western Association. "The action of th" railroads Is simply a discrimination against the Democratic party." said Mr. Mack. "They Ktate that there Is a two-cent rate law In Nebraska which will not permit them to give a reduced rate to Lincoln. Hut I desire to call their attention to the fact that there Is also h two-cent rate law in Ohio which did not prevent the granting of a reduced r:ite by tiie (Vntral Passenger Asso ciation t i the Taft meeting In Cincin nati.

Not a bit ijf definite Information regarding the two Important conferences) In which President Honsevelt engaged at Sagamore Hill to-day could be gain ed later from any if those who par ticipated. Secretary of IVaP Wright and Col. Hugh L. fcott. suiirintendeiit of tne West Point Military Academy, talked with the I'resldent about the cases of the eight cadets recently suspended for hazing. It U believed that the Secretary maintained his earlier posi tion that clemency might be shown w ithout violence to military discipline; and that Colonel S.'ott held to Ills former anil contrary opinion. The attitude of the president has already been made known und he Is supposed to have sought to-day a thorough ex position of both sides of the matter. If a final decision was reached it was scrupulously withheld from the news paper men and will be announced probablv from the War Department on Monday. National Committee Chairman Frank II Hitchcock discussed polities with the President earlier In the day. but In t.k wan non-communlcitivo when j.-.-n later.. He contented lilm s.
