WILL REACH $4,000.
Santa Fe's "Padded'' Payrolls
Leak Much Larger Than at
First Supposed.

Chicago, June 21.-LocaI officials
both of the Santa Fe railway and other
roads, expect sensational results from
the padded pay rolls investigation at
Topeka, Kan, and Kansas City.
Whether complications arising from the
swindle will reach Chicago and inpl-
cate anyone in this city is yet to be
learned.
Local railroad men, however, say that
the amount will reach between $70,O 900
and $50, 600. Not alone railroad men
will be shown to have been connected
with the steal, but it is said that even
congressman are implicated.
Already the time books have been Sc
cretly gone over in Chicago, with what
result the local officials of the road re
fuse to say. A man high in railroad
circles said that he had facts in his
possession which were unquestionable
and which had been turned over to
General superintendent J. J. Frey of
the Santa Fe. In detail he refused to
tell of the steal or consent to his name
being used in connection with the case.
From the information that the Santa
F'e officials have in their possession,
sensational facts will soon be made
public said an official of the road in
Chicago. That padded pay rolls
have been the means of a steal that
will not fall below $4,000 is sure to be
proven That the amount is not greater
is mere luck on the part of the directors
of the road. The man who first dis
covered the steal holds minor posi-
ton in Kansas City Right at this
point let me say that the dismissal of
J. u. ROra back, superintendent of ter
minals at Kansas City, a few weeks
ago, has no connection with the steal
In no way was he connected or knew
of the affair
Nearly two months ago the officials
of the road were informed that the pad
ding was going on. They at once start
ed an investigation, with the result that
the guilty parties can be brought to
Justice, but it is very doubtful whether
they will. Owing to their prominence,
not alone in railroad circles, but in
business and political fields, it would
be in-advised to give their names at
the present time. I understand that
a large amount of the money stolen
has been made good. The rest, 1 am
informed, will also be refunded If it
is not, there is a chance that some per
sons will be shown up in their true
light -

DEBs INVITES ROCKEFELLER
The Standard OIL King is Asked to
Join the SOCIAL Democracy
of America" :"

Chicago, June 21.-Eugene V. Debs,
the leader of the Social Democracy Of
America, has sent the following letter
to John D. Rockefeller:
McCOy's Hotel, Chica &c, June 10, 1897
John D. Rockefeller, New York City
Dear Sir: I take the liberty to inform
you that we have this day organized
the Social Democracy of America, an or
ganiZatiOn designed to rescue the Op-
pressed and suffering of our land from
the grasp of industrial conditions which
they cid not create and which they are
pOwerless to control or modify
The purpose of the organization is
briefly stated, to supplant the present
cruel, immoral and deStrutiYe system
by the cooperative commonwealth, IN
der which milliOnaires and mendicants,
the abnormal products of an abnormal
civilization will disappear together and
the brotherhood of man will be ushered
in to bless and beautify the world.
In this city alone, in which the uni
versity which bears your name stands
monumental of the triumphs of la Dor
and the fabulous wealth of the country
5000 families are practically homeless
and 10000 wOrkingnen are verging on
If you think this statement an exag-
geratiOn beg that you may come here
and l will arrange to have them as
sembled on the lake front. md there,
under the common sky, their only shelf
er, their emaciated faces and tattered
garments may bear testimony to the
haggard truth of mans inhumanity to
man.
The picture is we'll calculated to ap-
peal to men and angels, and, as you are
a Christian gentleman and are widely
known for your benefa lotions, perha ps
you might deem it proper, no less than
dutiful, to give your support to an or
ganizatiOn whose high purpose it is, not
to feed the humiligate these suffering
fellow beings with the p9ltry crumbs of
charity, to perpetuate conditions which
make their lives a continuous curse, but
to strive for a more exalted humanity,
a diviner civilization, such as the Mas
ter taught when he said: "On earth
peace, good will toward men"
The immediate object will be the re-
lief of the unemployed by colonizing a
western state where they may cooper
ate in the application of their labor to
the resources of nature, to provide for
themselves and their dependent ones
and manfully discharge the duties of
an emancipated citizenship.
In this movement there are no class
distinctions. Rich and poor are equal
ly welcome to aid in dethroning gold
and eXalting humanity. Then the
strong shall help the weak, the weak
shall love the strong and the brother
hood of man shall transform the earth
into a veritable paradise.
To cOnsecrate ones self to such a
work is my highest conception of duty
to myself and my fellow men, and
trusting that you may find it consistent
with your own sense of social and patri-
otic obligation to join hands with US in
our emancipating and eunobling mis-
sion, subscribe myself yours, very
truly, EUGENE Y. DEBS.

At Edgware Road a handsome triumph
al arch was erected by the Paddington
authorities and another had been put
up by the MaryIebOne VeStry.
Throughout, the route was ten8nted
by the immense aSSemblage- Every
window had its occupants, every roof
its sightSeers, every available space IN
the street and square, sidewalk and
gardens, the paths and chairs and even
the trees and ratings of the parks were
black with loyal humanity The queen
drove slowly to crafty her people. Her
face everywhere lOOSened the voice OF
the multitude. In unrestrained strength
the rich and tumultuOus expression Of
loyalty and affection broke forth. Vol
leys of cheers rose clearly above the
Everyone Wed with his neighbor in
active demonstration of loyalty and de-
light.
Next to Paddington the crowds Sc
lected buckingham Palace as the most
interesting point to view the proceed
ings as the gathering of the ENJOYS and
their suites and the Indian officers in
vited to luncheon, to be afterwards pre-
sented, had already begun at noon and
many were the Speculations relative to
the identity of the bejewelled and or
dered officers as they drove up in royal
carriages or smart royal hansoms hired
for the occasion. In the latter case the
drivers wore cOckadeS and had badges
letters ''V. r. embroidered in gold.
The police were kept busy attending
to fainting women but the crowds were
in the best of humOr and chaffed every
one. A number of Americans armed
with kOdaks, had stationed themselves
opposite the palace gate and somebody
in the crowd shouted now, YankS, three
cheers for your mother
On the right of the palace gateway,
the Duchess of Connaught and her chill
dren, and some of the Battenbergs
awaited the arrival of her mejesty.
A few minutes before 1 o'clock a
hoarse roar of cheering in the distance
announced the approach of the queen.
The cheering grew in strength, until it
amounted TO a deafening storm as the
sovereign reached the vicinity.
The queen was dressed in black and
bowed slowly to the right and to the
left, to the greetings of her subjects
She looked pleased, did not wear spec
tacles and appeared not more tired
than any lady of her age might be ex-
pected to be. The Empress Frederick
who sat beside her majesty was also
dressed in black Princesses Christian
and Battenberg sat opposite the queen
and the empress. The Princess Chris

VICTORIA TO QUIT.
It is Now Considered Certain That
She Will Abdicate After the
Jubilee.

London, June 21.-In regard to the re-
vival of the periodical rumor of the
queens intention to abdicate in favor of
the Prince of Wales, which the Exchange
Telegraph company again circulates, the
Westminster Gazette says:
when the rumor was circulated
months ago, we were informed on the
highest authority that it was unfounded.' -
Today the question of the queens early
abdication is being discussed in the high
est circles. Her majesty is stated to be
seriously considering the important step
of resigning the throne in favor of the
Prince of Wales very soon after the jubi-
lee.
Her majesty finds the duties of her po-
sition daily becoming more difficult to fill.
It is believed that if her majesty de-
cides to take the step indicated, as it is
almost definitely settled that she will. ar
rangements will be made to postpone the
coronation of the Prince of Wales until
after her majesty's death in the usual
course.
