Spots on the Sun.

From the New York Mail and Express
If the spots on the sun are depreSsions
instead of elevations-and no ono truly
knows which they are-there Is now
cavity on the suns surface into which
twelve earths could be dropped quite easily.
And not merely one such spot but several.
The present disturbance on the suns sur
face is of vast interest to the astronomers,
very likely of quite equal interest % people
in general. If 1t is really true that solar
disturbances are accompanied by meteoro-
logical disturbances on the earth's surface
Just what the sun spots do to us we do
not know. 1t is pretty clear that the ap-
pearance Of these great spots is coincident
with magnificent auroral displays, and that
they sharply disturb the magnetic needle.
Since they may do this. 1t Is quite possible
that they may do more. For all We know
there may be some connection between tho
flood which now RACES in overvexed Pater-
son, or the milk famine in this city, or
the spasm of pessimism in Wall street, and
the great black spot which the naked eye
screened by smoked gia>5s, can make out on
the suns surface.
Just now there Is no branch OF astron-
astronomy. Its rapid progress promises
the solution Of many mysteries Science
has only Begin to face the problems which
tho sun presents. The human eye, belked

the task to the camera and to the spectro-
scope. What they see we may also see anc

HEARING TODAY.
Mining Company Case Before Equity
Court Number Two.

-
Hearing, based on the rule requiring the
defendants to show cause why the prayers
Of the complainants should not be granted,
was in progress late this afternoon before
Justice Gould, in Equity Court No. 2. in the
cases Of William T. Hand against the Hays
Consolidating Mining, Milling and Lumber
Company; Robert L. Chamberiaine against
the same company and Charles W. Hays
and the American Security and Trust Com
pany. and Frank 8. Hamblcton and others
against the Hays Company, the same trust
company and James w. Whelpley, asking
an injunction and the appointment of q re-
ceiver.
The complainants. in substance, charge
that they bought stock in the Hays Con-
sclidated Mining, Milling and Lumber Com
pany upon fraudulent representations re-
gardns the amount OF property owned by
the company
In behalf of the Hays company 1t is set
forth in answers. fled ard read in court
today. that the company asserts ownership
to the mining property and timber land re-
ferred to in its prospectus but admits that
1t had merely an option on the grazing
lands. 1t is added that the stockholders
were familiar with the foregoing facts.
The defendants point out that the conf
plainants have made no averment that the
Hays company IS insoivent. 1T is declared
that the Hays company now possesses
$127,00O ii cash. and. in. addition. bullion
and other assets. all free Of liens and in
cumbrances. AS it. could pay all the claims
made against It and still have money to
spare, so the defendants contend, the COM
plainants are nct entitled to have a receiver
appointed. The defendants add that the
complainants number only % out OF 33I
stockholders.

GENERAL STRIKE.
One Threatened by Shopmen
Throughout Santa Fe System
Unless Men at La Junta Are
Taken Back.
MEN ARE SHIPPED IN
But Refuse to Work on Learn
ing the Situation.
Trouble Started Over Demand
for Regular Pay Day.

La Junta. Colo, July 24.-General
Manager Nudge of the Santa Fe rail-
road has been unsuccessful in settling
the strike in the shops here. He offered
to take the men back to work indi-
vidually. but the proposition was re-
fused by the men after the matter had
been discussed in meeting. Vice Presi-
dent Wilson of the Machinists' union, is
expected here today from Pueblo, and
he is credited with saying that unless
some settlement is reached Immediately
all of the shopmen on the system will
ebe ordered out. The strikers insist that
they shall be returned to their positions
in body. The strike originated in a
demand for a regular pay day. Men
shipped in by the company to take
strikers places have declined to work
after being acquainted with the situa-
ton.
When seen by reporter this morning
and asked for information regarding
the trouble at La Junta A. Z. Sweet,
assistant to the general manager of the
Santa Fe. said:
We nave heard nothing new in re-
gard to the trouble at La Junta. Mr..
Nudge, who is the only man here who
would have anything to do with the
matter, is now in La Junta and it is not
necessary that we should be advised re-
garding anything that takes place at
that point"

A SIMPLE pRECAUTlOk.

Having had some harsh experience
with his appointees in the recent past,
it strikes the Advertiser that Governor
Dole, when he names any man for any
departmental vacancy, should, before
making the appointment, take his I'M
dated resignation of the post. Had that
been done with Wright and Boyd much
trouble might have been avoided.
This was the course pursued by Seth
Low when he entered upon his duties
several years ago as reform mayor of
Brooklyn. Doubtless he did the same
thing when he became mayor of New
York 1t is the surest way for an
executive in whom the sole power of
removal is not vested, to protect his
from disgrace.
No matter who the man is that is
chosen for Attorney General his undat-
ed resignation should be exchanged for
his appointment.

AN ALLEGoRY OF THE DAY.

John Smith has a rich estate and Two
lawyers. He wins lawsuit for his own
money but finds, when he goes to the
bank, that he can't get the cash.
Along comes another lawyer who
says, "In get your money for you If
paid for it, Just sign this agreement
and I'll go and draw"
John Smith is an old man, much
bothered by lawyers and anxious for
his money. He signs without reading
and does not ask for copy of the con-
tract.
Later he learns that he has really
signed an agreement to employ this
lawyer in place of those he has already
retained and that he has, besides, put
his name to a demand note for $4,000.
One of the unknown things he has
agreed to do is to give the new lawyer
a general power of attorney, revoking
all others.
But he does not get his money. The
new lawyer goes for it but he does not
draw. Neither does he surrender the
power of attorney or the demand note.
Perhaps he is too busy in court and
in the newspapers proclaiming his high
sense of professional honor"
