SHIPS TALK TO EACH OTHER
OVER HUNDRED MILES APART

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-The Cunarder
Etruria, which has just arrived here. was
in communication for more than five
hours in middle ocean with her sister
ship. the Umbria.
Long before either ship sighted the 9TH
er their comman ders were conversing by
the Marconi wireless system.
The position OF each ship was known on
the other hours befSre their main trucks
showed above the horizon. The Etruria
left Liverpool on December Z, the same
cay the Umbria steamed out of New
York. They were 1.eS0 miles east north
east OF Sandy Hook when they passed
each other last Wednesday, or in latitude
45.17 and longitude 51.07.
Five hours before that, or when they
were fully 100 miles apart. the receiver on
the Etruria began to click warningly.
The operator replied and then the word
'Umbria" was slowly spelled out on the
Etrurias instrument. Then followed the
Umbria's location.
The Etruria replied. giving her loca-
ton. which showed her to be fully 100
miles away from ehe other vessel.
The Umbria sent her number OF passen-
gers. the fact that all was well and the
latest news from New York. The Etruria
sent word OF the burning OF the great
Liverpool exchange quadrangle, which
occurred December Z, while the Etruria
was lying in the Mersey.

SOUTH DAKOTA SUIT
MAY CAUSE OTHERS
AMOUNT OF REPUDIATED BONDS
WILL REACH ONE HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Dec 1s.-The SUIT
brought by South Dakota against the
state of North Carolina in the United
States supreme court TO force the pay
meat of certain bonds issued in aid of the
Western North Carolina railroad is at
tracing considerable attention. These
bonds were compromised at % cents on the
dollar.
Governor Aycock has employed Hon.
James E. Shepherd, former chief justice
of the supreme court of this state; ex-
Superior Court Judge James H. Merri
mon, and Mr.. George Rountree to repre-
sent the state in the defence Of this suit.
After citing number or presidents. ].
c. L. Harris of Raleigh, in writing of the
case in today's Observer says:
ut would seem, therefore, that the ju-
risdiction of the supreme court in the
suit of South Dakota against the state
of North Carolina cannot be successfully
attacked. If this position is well taken,
then, and in that event, this suit will be-
come at once of great national import
ance.
1.-The states besides South Dakota have
passed acts authorizing the prosecution
of SUITS similar to that brought by South
Dakota against the state of North Car
DINA The states Of North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida. Ala
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and
Arkansas, perhaps other states, have
bonds outstanding, to the amount or one
hundred millions of dollars-principal and
interest-which are legal and just, but
which have been repudiated and which
the states, for one reason and another.
refuse to pay either principal or interest.
The amount of the Special tax fund Of
the state of North Carolina which is
now outstanding is ten millions of dol
lars, with interest at 6 per cent for thirty
two years, which would make the debt
of this state alone at this time thirty
millions of dollars, principal and inter-
est The principal and interest of the
debts of the other states will probably
raise the total to one hundred millions of
dollars. These bonds are now being col
lected by a trust company of the city OF
New York, and the South Dakota suit
against the state of North Carolina is
doubtless the first step in the effort to
compel the payment of the various repu-
dated bonds of the states hereinbefore
mentioned. If the South Dakota suit Is
upheld. then donations Of bonds will be
made to the state and the other states
which have passed acts authorizing suits
to be prosecuted where bonds have been
acquired by donation. purchase or other
wise. and the state is the real party In
interest. anG other suits will be brought In
the supreme court of the states which
own the bonds and against the states is
suing the bonds"

SUIT IS FILED
AGAINST PARK
STATE WANTS TO USE PUBLIC
PROPERTY FUND, THIS
TIME AS INTER-
EST.

Arandauus proceedings were hled Mon
day BY Attorney General Terrell IN
the name OF Allen d. Gambler as governor
against r Z Park. as treasurer, 10 conf
pei the treasurer 10 apply $500 OF the
public property fund OF Sf44.00o 10 the pay
meut OF the interest on the public debt.
which falls due during the year 1872 and
which win amount 60 $500.
The suit Is altogether a friendly one.
Treasurer Park said this morning that he
was anxious TO use the money. but as the
court had held several months ago that
the public property fund could be used
for no other purpose than the payment Of
the public debt he felt that he was
Obliged 70 make the contest. Besides.
the legislature had directed that the con-
test be made. The state is IN pretty bad
condition financially and unless the mon
ey can be used there viii be a big deficit
in the treasury. The idea is to use some
OF the public property fund 10 pay the
interest on the public debt and 10 use the
money which has been raised for taxation
Tor the payment Of the interest 20 pay
the appropriations and other general ex-
penses.
Treasurer Park. IL Is said. win be al
lowed 500 by Governor Gambler from the
contingsnt fund for the purpose Of pay
ing his lawyers. as II is the states suit.
In the last mandamus suit Treasurer
Parks attorneys served without pay.
The main argument TO be used by the
state in the suit VIII be that the interest
on the public debt is a part OF the public
debt and that the use OF the public prop
erty fund for the payment OF the interest
is not in violation OF the provisions OF the
constitution.

WILL RESIGN
JANUARY 10
ATTORNEY GENERAL TERRELL
TO RETIRE WHEN PENDING
BUSINESS Is DISPOSED
OF BY HIM.

Attorney General j. M. Terrell will prob
ably resign his Office on January 10th and
at the same time make his formal an
nouncement as candidate for governor
This announcement was made Monday
morning by one of Mr.. TerrelPs friends,
and is regarded as authoritative. Mr.. Ter
rell still declines to talk. Mr.. Terrell
would probably resign earlier than Janu-
airy 10th If it were not for the case Of the
Georgia Railroad VS.. Comptroller GEN
eral Wright, which case will come up
in the United States court about January
Sth.
He will represent the state in the man.
damus suit wwnich is to be filed tomor-
row against State Treasurer Park, re-
garding the public property fund, and
when he completes that he will turn his
attention to the Georgia railroad suit.
An effort is being made to have that
case heard on January 2 and
If this can be done. Mr. Terrelrs res
ignation will probably come sooner than
is now intenUe~.
1t is understood that his political head
quarters will be in the Kimball house, and
that as soon as he resigns he will begin
work on his campaign. The fact that he
will resign in such a short time will no
doubt be a surprise to the public as II
was stated some time ago that he would
not tender his resignation until after the
meeting OF the state Democratic executive
committee. This committee will meet
some time in March to make the neces-
sary arrangements for the primary. II
is said that Mr.. Terrell will make a num-
Der of speeches during the campaign, and
it is probable that he will go into nearly
every county IN the state.
With the announcement that his resig-
nation Is so soon to occur comes the
question of his successor. Governor Can
der, who has the appointing power, has
not and Will not intimate who he is going
to appoint. In fact, the governor says
there have been no designations just yet
and the matter is not now before him.
The names of Judge N. L. Hutchins, of
Lawrenceville, and Hon. Ed T. Brown,
special attorney OF the Western and At
lantic railway, have been frequently
mentioned as probable successors to Mr..
Terrell. George M. Napier, of Monroe,
has also been suggested as a possible
man. All three are strong men, and
should they offer for the place which is
to be made vacant by Mr.. Terrell, Gov
making his selection.
There are already three candidates in
the race for the position. These candi-
dates will have to be nominated at the
coming primary, and the election will oc-
cur next fall. Judge John c. Hart, of
Union Point, is an avowed candidate and
has been for some time. Former Sena-
tor r. T. Fouche, of Rome, is said to be
in the race, as Is Representative w. M.
ToOmer, of Ware county.

The rivers are now falling here and at

In Allegheny, the river front was en-

The cellars in many houses were flooded
and people were compelled to move. For
the river men and jewellers along the
river banks Of Pittsburg and Allegheny it
was the most fearful sight experienced in
many years. Similar conditions have been
practically unknown to this generation.

a pleasant companion and numbered his

TURKEY AND BULGARIA
TO PUT DOWN BRIGANDAGE

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Advices which
have been received here in an official
quarter from Vienna indicate that the
Austro-Hungarian government is making
strong representation to both Turkey and
Bulgaria, with the object of inducing
those countries to take suitable and eff
fective steps to put down the state of out
lawry and brigandage on their borders,
says the Tribune's London correspondent.
1t is believed this action Of the Austro-
Hungarian government is the result Of
frequent conferences which the American
minister in Vienna has recently had with
Count Golouchowsky in reference to the
case Of Miss Stone.
