OLD VETERANS ARE SORE.
western Railroads Giving Ex-Con-
federates a Bad Deal.

Chicago. Feb. 5.-The Record, to-mor-
row, will say:
Ill-feeling threatens to spring up between
the veterans Of the Confederacy and the
railroads north of Mason and Dixon's
line over the granting of reduced pas
senger rates for the ex-Confederates' next
annual reunion. to he held at Memphis in
May. The former wearers Of the gray
figure that they are entitled to receive
from the railroads concessions as good as
those made for the Grand Army of the
Republics encampment in this city last
year Officials of the Eastern and West
ern lines do not believe that the lines
north of the Ohio river would be justified
from a business point of view, in grant
ing a cent-a-mile rate. Officials of East
ern lines think that one-fare-for-
round-trip rate would be as reasonable
as any rate they could make, but the
Westerners do not think anything les
than rate OF one-and-one-ffth fares COR
the round trip should be granted by them.
