'.Negotiations are being' carried on with northern sydfeates that may lead to a successful eolation.. The holders of the outstanding bonds which mature July 1, may en ter their bids for the new Issue and use their old in payment. But should these fall, then tt will be up to the general assembly to devise means of meeting the issue of 1880. What Will Be Done. In case the above methods prove fruitless, then the legislature will assemble according to the call. Of course it will do what in its Judg ment is best to relieve the situation It Is not likely that tae interest of the bonds will be Increased, for, as Treasurer Lacy says. It would hardly be wise to increase the interest above 4. Just because there Is a tempor ary dullness in the bond market. It is probable -that a loan for twelve months will be' secured, by which time the bonds can be disposed of. It is understood that a loan can be had for twelve months at 6 interest. Exchange Old For New Bonds. There are now outstanding $3,427, 000 of North Carolina 4 . bonds, ma .and he will accept the old bond as cash. It Is hoped, that all the hold' era of the old bonds will bid for new ones, ii eacn nomer oi me oiu uuous will bid It will over-subscribe for the $2,211,000 yet to be sold. These bonds run for 40 years and are non-taxable,'. Such an opportun ity to make a gilt-edge investment oc curs only once in a life-time. There Is hardly any doubt that as soon as the world-wide depression in the bond market Is relieved,' these bonds will go to a good premium. . The treasurer advertises that he will again open bids tt 12 ni., June 10, 1910. ... A prompt exchange of these bonds in, this way will be a profit to the in vestor, and make unnecessary tne convening of the legislature. Meeting of Hankers Called.

(By Cable to The Times) London, June 4 A war airship early 4.this.mornIng v flew over - the heart of London and circled the dome of St. Paul's. It was the British army dirigible Beta, which . left Farnborough at 11:30 p. m. and re turned there at 3:30 a. m., having covered 110 miles in four hours, an average of 27 miles an hour. The German war scare was revived in 'the wee small hours, when the whirring airship floated over the city, It was seen by hundreds, despite the hour, and the police and news, paper offices received scores of warn. lngs that Germans were about to blow up the city. An interesting phase of the event the fact that the start at Farn borough, 30 miles from London, was made from near the tombs of Na poleon III. and the Prince Imperial Louis, who lie at Farnborough' hill. The trip was made unannounced. The army aviators today declared that the dirigible was under control at every moment of the trip, and swept -about the cathedral at 2:15 gracefully in precisely-the manner planned. The trip is hailed as the best (light ever. made by a British dirigible. CANADA HTOP8 IMMIGRANTS. Will Not Allow the Mother Country to Damp All (lasses On Her.

Course and Strapded 1 v 1 Danish Atlantic Liner United States Ashore in Cliristlansand Fjord, Xorwuy Fleet of Steamers Rushed to Her Aid Carried 1,000 Passengers, tlie Majority of Them Americans, Who Had Started Home From a Trip to the Old Country Vessel Was Nosing Into a Coaling Port When She Was Caught by a Terrific Current and Thrown From Her Course. (By Cable to The Times) Copenhagen, June 4 With 1,000 passengers aboard the Danish At lantic liner United States went ashore early today in Chrlstiansaud Fjord, Norway. The first advices stated that she was leaking badly and lay in a bad position upon the rocks. This is the second time in less than three months that the vessel has been aground. On March 12, while bound for the United States, she struck near Christiaijia but all her passengers were taken off in safety. Immediately on receipt of the news of today's accident, a fleet of relief steamers was despatched to her aid. The vessel struck today while the passengers were asleep, according to the advices received here. ' Many were thrown from their berths, and within a few moments the decks were crowded with a panic- stricken crowd. The heroism of the officers and crew, aided by a few of the passengers, preventd , the panic from spreading into a mad fight. She was nosing in to touch at her Norwegian port of call, Christiansand, when caught b.v a terrific current and thrown from her course and pitched hard ashore in one of the most dif ficult spots of the rocky estuary. Captain Wulff made a- immediate investigation after the passengers had been quieted and ordered the pumps set to work.' Distress signals were sent up calling for aid from the steamers in the vicinity. News of the disaster was immediately flashed trotn Christiansand to other ports and many steamers were directed by wire less to change their course for the work of rescue. Treacherous currents about the fjord increased the danger of tlio vessel. It is not yet known whether : it will be possible to save her. While the news of the liner's dis aster reached Christiansand, special services for the passengers' safety were said in the Cathedral of the town. Great crowds went out to watch the rescue work from shore. A flotilla of fishing boats put out. as soon as the word was received of the accident. In Another Disaster.
