HEAD OF SANTA FE SPEAKS
PRESIDENT RIPLEY'S OPEN LET
TER TO PEOPLE OF KANSAS.
Vote Against His Convictions
Because of q Pass.

Chicago, Aug. 22.-President l.. p.
Ripley of the Atchison, Topeka & San.
ia Fe railroad ras addressed an open
letter to the people or Kansas in an.
swer to communications approving
or criticising his conduct of Santa Fe
affairs. He says the road is worth
all it is capitalized for, and as to tax
alton, the company will not murmur
as long as it's property is assessed in
as is the property Of private citizens.
The Giving of Passes.
1T Is almost the universal custom
in every part of the country" he says.
ito transport free of charge, national,
state and county officers as a cOur.
tesy, and l have never thought that 1t
gave railroads any claim On the con-
science of the officials, nor have l
known of any case where a legislator
has voted, or been expected to vote
against his convictions because Of
holding a pass. There will be nc OBJ
lection on the part of the company to
cease issuing passes if the people OF
Kansas desire this to be done.
The Santa Fe In Politics.
AS to the railroad in politics, Pres
ident Ripley says: I'VE have the same
interests in good government as any
other citizen, n the same right to
display that interest. AS the largest
corporation in the state, and the larg-
est taxpayer, we have a vital interest
in sane and conservative legislation,
and when, as has too or en- been the
case, there is danger that the state
will be swept off it's feet by appeal to
and prejudice, made by the de-
demogogues for their own per-
sonal ends, it becomes a duty to op-
pose those men Dy fair and legal
means; and in such Cases, and in such
cases only, will the Santa Fe be found
in politics.

KING EDWARD IN THE DEAL
Southern Pacific and Union Pacific
Stock Manipulation Creates
Furor On Wall Street.

New York, Aug. 1S.-It is hard TO
tell how much money was made in
Wall street by the Hartman coup in
Southern Pacific and Union Pacific
stocks, naming a dividend of 5 per
cent, 3 per cent. of which is credited
TO surplus earnings. There are the
Widest of stories afioat, in which Har-
rlman's winnings are placed at from
$5,OO0,00O to $4,000. King Edward
of Great Britain is also credited with
huge profits.
One thing generally admitted is that
the shorts in Union Pacific were left
without hope. That they realized this
TACT was shown by the heavy covering
which went on in both the Hartman
stocks. 1t Is estimated by one house
that the bears on the stocks dropped
at least $4,000, 900. On the other hand
the winnings on paper of the manipu-
lators were said to reach In the tens
of millions.
Among the persons said to have
prof1ted by the Southern Pacific is Sir
ernest Cassell, a part at least OF
whose operations are financed by
Kind Edward VII. AS gossip in Wall
street has it, Sir Ernest bought South
ern Pacific heavily when it hung
around 60. At Fridays prices, a top
figure of SO, this would show a good
return. Wall street adds the informa-
ton that the British sovereign had
been let in on the ground floor" by
E. H. Hartman himself. There was
talk on all sides about the manner
in which the declaration of dividends
was held back, and a great deal of
bitter comment concerning MI. Harri-
man was heard on the street.

the disaster was not appalling. AS
yet no authentic news has been re-

Quakes occur from time to time but
are steadily diminishing in force.
AS to the dead and wounded, an ac-

believed a food famine will occur.
Martial law has ruled in Valparaiso
since the first day of the shocks. and
