BRYAN Is BEATEN
ON COUNTY OPTION

Omaha. July 20-Wllliam J. Bryan won
another county 20 his case to-day when
the primary convention in Furnas Coun-
ty instructed its delegation to vote for
Bryan's plan OF county option in the
state convention next Tuesday. Since
the war started this makes the second
county Mr.. Bryan has had instructed
for lflm. The opposition has received the
Endorsement OF forty-one counties so far.
The fight Is still going steadily against
Bryan and his plan. Including primaries
held to-day 800 delegates are instructed
outright against Bryan. Sixty-e;ght are
instructed for Bryan and 154 go TO the
state convention without instructions.
OF this number 1s2 have expressed them

PULLMAN RATES TOO HIGH.

Indianapolis. Ind. July 2O-The Indiana
railroad commission. following an opinion
by Chairman Wood. ordered the Pullman
company, operating cars between this
city and Terre Haute. TO reduce its par
lor car rate from 40 to Is cents. The
commission holds that a mileage basis Is
not fair one for the establishment of a
Pullman parlor car scale, since II does
not own any of the road over which the
cars pass; that it contributes nothing TO
the upkeep, and that it does not con-
tribute anything 10 the cost OF hauling.
Another consideration entering into the
case was the fact that there are several
trains running between Terre Haute and
Indianapolis. composed entirely Of Pull
man cars. and that any one using these
trains is compelled to pay the Pullman
rate.
The announcement OF the finding In this
case, coming. on the eve Of the commits
sion's projeaed consideration of freight
rate eases for interstate traffic. is looked
on as outlining the attitude with which
the commission will approach the freight
hearings.
