LONDON PRICES DROP.
Consols Revive on Statement by Chan
 ceIIor Lloyd George.

LONDON. June 26.-The stock mark ethas been dull all the week as IS us- ually the case in Ascot week, when there is always large migration from the stock exchange to the race. Next week tho Henley exodus will begin, and then they have the cockney holiday sea- son. so no revival con be hoped for to any great extent before September, when brokers and the public may again find the market a matter of principal interest.
 The leading feature of the week has been copSols, which, after being down to their lowest since 1881. recovered to 70 11-16 on a statement by the Chan cellor of the eXcheQuer that he had de- cided to devote the greater part of his budget surplus to the redemption of the debt. This should mean 94,0O0,000 sterling for this purpose.
 Home rails have been weak. owing to the fear of poor dividend announce ments next month on account of the slow recovery of the loss of earnings through the recent coal strike.
 American rails have been firm and when politics is out of the way the good trade and good crop prospects in America are expected to help prices considerably.

GREAT BLAZING SUN
 HIDDEN BY THE MOON
A Phenomenon Last Night Worth
 Looking at.

If you had taken the trouble to ob- serve the moon last night shortly after IL rose above the eastern horizon, and especially if you had used a good strong field glass in making the obser vation, you would have witnessed an eclipse. Not an eclipse of the moon. however, but an eclipse by the moon
 The moon is now almost full and is travelling apparently in close proximity to a large star whose radiance. how ever, is greatly dimmed by it's appar- ent nearness to our satellite. This star merely a little slpeck by compari- son with the moon, is Jupiter the larg- est planet of the solar system.
 Several degrees nearer the horizon than Jupiter, if you had made this ob- servation, you would have ;1iscerned a small. reddish colored star This is the star that was eclipsed by the moon The eclipse lasted about an hour and was phenomenon similar to the near eclipse O: Venus which occurred last winter, except that that interesting event occurred in the daytime and when the moon was at it's last quar- ter
 It WoulI be rather difficult for the
 
 uninitiated to believe tha, the tiny sta- which for an hour was hidden behind the disk of the moon last night is in fact an enormous blazing sun. But that is the truth of the matter. The tiny point Of light is in reality the great fixed star Antares, belonging to the constel- lation Scoi piOn, and which is probably 10000 times the size of our own sun
 Inevitably Antares is a considerable distance from the earth; but just how far not even the wisest of the astron- omers can tell. The books say the dis taEce is 200 light years-which means ia would take a ray of light 200 years to travel the distance. AS we all know a ray of light travels 1S0.000 miles a second it is a matter of simple mathe- matics to calculate the distance

ALEXANDRA DAY"
 WAS CELEBRATED
English Labor Leaders Denounce Aris-
 tocratic Flower Girls.

LONDON. June 26.-A number of
 American women who have married
 titles, including the duchess of Marl-
 borough, who was Consuela Vanderbilt
 were among the hundreds of titled and
 fashionable women who became flower
 girls today and sold blossoms in the
 streets of London. The most ariSto-
 cratic women of the best society of
 England took part in the unique flower
 girl procession in celebration of Alex
 andra day, marking the semi-continen-
 tai anniversary of the arrival in Eng
 land of Alexandra, princess of Dem
 mark, when she came to wed the prince
 of Wales, the late King Edward VII.
 Labor leaders of London bitterly de-
 nounced the aristicratic flower girls,
 declaring that they were taking away
 the earnings of the poor flower sellers
 who are so numerous in London s streets and who cannot afford even one
 unprofitabie day, since most of them
 are already on the verge of starvation. About S0,000 women in all acted as flower girls today. and the money gained, which is certain to amount to a
 large figure, will be distributed among Dowager Queen Alexandra's many charities It is expected that Alexan- dra day will be an annual fixture here after in honor of one of the best loved women of England, King Georges mother.
 Each flower girl" was accompanied by a women or man friend to protect her from the waggishness of the mass es. It is not expected that there will be any trouble, however. other than occasional good natured chaffing. Luncheons and suppers for the flow CT sellers will be a feature of the day and a number of prominent women will keep open house for this purpose. All the participants in the flower cam paign were gowned alike, in white, and each wore roses in her hat. Some or the Dosies offered are artificial and were made by the delft hands of blind and crippled children, in whom Queen Alexandra takes so much interest, but each peddler also carried large boquets of real buds of the field, garden and hothouse. The prices charged were several times those asked by real flow CT girls. but the male public gave up willingly
 | After a short parade the ladies dis persed 10 the various sections of the city where men were supposedly most generous for charitable purposes. The duchess of Marlborough had beat at the Royal Exchainge. and indica- l tions are that she will make a record sale

Examination of Darrow's Former Associate Was As Wearing Upon the At torneys As Upon the Wit ness. Himself
THE MECHANICAL
 EAVESDROPPER
As on the Previous Days Was the Subject to Which Counsel for Defense Con fined Themselves in the Cross Examination
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIspArcHl

LOS ANGELES. June 26.-J. F.
 Harrington, the Chicago attorney left
 the witness stand in the bribery trial
 of Darrow late today after he had
 been under examination for seven
 days All that time, with the excep-
 ton of a few hours Harrington was
 subjected to q cross examination by
 the defense. which probably was the
 most bitter verbal assault ever en-
 dured by d witness in the local court
 room. At the conclusion of the ordeal
 the prosecution asked for an adjourn
 ment before beginning Harringtons
 re- direct examination because of men
 tai and physical fatigue or the part
 of the attorneys.
 The entire day was devoted to the
 conversations between Harrington and
 DarroW which had been planned. as
 the witness testified. so that they
 could be reported verbatim by a tel ephonic device. Harrington was
 pressed constantly by Rogers to recall what had been said by himself and 1 Darrow in those conversations. Once more the defense demanded tram script of the conversation in order that the memory of the witness might be refreshed and as q last resort they asked that one of the reporters who took down the conversations be subpoenaed to bring his notes. The reporter appeared but tue judge re- fused to allow him to testify. The court held out q hope to the | defense however, that unless the | prosecution introduced it's transcript 1 into the evidence when it had con- cluded it's case. the reporters notes | that had been taken by means of a mechanical evesdropper might be in- ! troduced by the defense.
 Harrington admitted today that he had had financial differences with
 Darrow and that the latter still owed
 him the difference between $5000
 which sum he had received while em- s15.OO0 which the witness said was the sum promised each associate coun- sel connected with the McNamara de- fense He said that he and Darrow compromised on a final settlement | for $50O0 which he had never re- l ceived
 Harrington testified also that when | he had brought DarroW to the hotel he had tried to prevail upon him to 1 tell the district attorney what he 1 knew of the whereabouts of Caplan and Schmidt the alleged dynamiters | of the Times building. Harrington said he told Darrow that the author | ities would be lenient with him if he aided them.
 "I told him that I though it was his duty to turn up Caplan and Schmidt" said Harrington "I also told him there were others involved and that he should not be the only one to suffer-
 The witness could not recall Dar- rows reply and when pressed as to the identity of the others. he said he referred to Anton Johannsen, the San Francisco labor leader

MAKERS OF MAPS
 FOR AUTOMOb|L|STS
Messrs. Hamilton and Locke in Town in Course of Tour of
 the State

MT Hamilton and Harry Locke, who for several months have been mapping the roads of the state, that is, the roads that are likely to be followed
 by automobilists in crossing the state
 in the. course of transcontinental tours
 arrived in the city yesterday and will remain couple of days. They have canvassed the southern part of the state pretty thoroughly The maps are to be put into the
 form of pamphlet. They will indi- cate not only the direction of the
 roads as other maps do but there will appear landmarks so that a stranger
 may with the aid of the maps traverse
 a strange road without the aid of a
 guide. This is not an advertising project though it is expected that those who
 deal in automobiles and automobile
 supplies as well as hotel keepers or
 others who expect to profit from tour
 ists will take space.
 The plan of Messrs. Hamilton and Locke, however, does not contemplate canvass of merchants. Their ar engagements are generally made through boards of supervisors, cham bers of commerce, boards of trade and city councils. MT. Locke is a resident of Cochise county. He is not only highly thought
 of in the community where he re- sides but he is an extremely modest young man. He conceals so far as possible that as secretary of the county of that party last fall, the fact that he led the republican hosts of Cochise to victory on December F,
 last. In other words he is endeavor- ing to live down his past.
