PORTUGUESE ROYAL HOUSEHOLD
 IS BES|EGED BY CREDITORS

Lisbon, May 25.-The royal household of Portugal is being besieged by its cred itors. and the newspapers are filled with notices of suits brought by trades peo- pie against it's members. This. situa- tlon arises from the fact that the mem bers of the royal household have not re- ceived a single penny from the state since King Carlos and his son were assassi mated on the streets of this city nearly four months ago, because the new civil list cannot be approved until after the financial accounting of the reign of the late King Carlos is completed
 Alfonso Costa, the republican leader, has publicly proclaimed his readiness 10 go to the bottom of the regicide plot and furnish the names of the monarchist presentations implicated. He declares that Luciano Castro, leader of the progressists, and Senhor Vilhena, leader of the regen- erationists, received advanced warning of the plot but did not advise Premier Franco as they knew their own followers were involved.
 The official figures of the deficit for last year show the amount to be only S300,0O0 This has convinced the public of the honesty of ex-Premier Franco's ad- ministration.

Any Kind of An OId Currency
 Law Will Suit Them
SENATE IS INDIFFERENT
House Leaders Are Angry Because They Have a Duty To Perform And Don't Know How in
 the World To Do 1t.

Washington, May 251(Special)-"A bill to amend the national banking law
 Give us this enacting clause and yoI may write almost anything under 1t you please provided that it is not the Aldrich bill nor the Vreeland bill"
 This is the despairing cry going up from the republican political leaders of the House of Representatives. Congress remains in session only because the House leaders, having failed on practically every cardinal point of legislation desire to put into the form of law before adjournment a currency bill-no matter what a mere makeshift 1t may be-which can be heraded before the business interests as a preventative of panics.
 All day long and extending well into the night there have been conferences be- tween the Senate and House leaders over currency legislation. Speaker Cannon would himself, it is understood, willingly accept the Aldrich bill as a way out of the difficulty. In hs way stands Bur ton of Ono, who, if he does no want the Vreeland bill in its entirety, can see noth- ing to commend the Senate measure.
 Senator Aldrich and his republican fol- lowers in the Senate are practically treat ing the House leaders with indiffeJ' a. They are as good as telling them that the election about to be held is one which interests the House far more than the Senate, and if there Is anything to be done it is up to the House. This only makes the house leaders the more angry, the result being that members are oe- oupyng their time discussing conference reports which could ordinarily be con cluded in one hour. Over on the Senate side Legislation is being held down to the routine. Nothing is allowed to get Up without the Aldrich wise, and the reading clerks are having a busy time droning off in full the Senate's pending measures.
 Out of it all the House leaders say q are even willing to make It temporary measure to be in force but year, or two years, anything so that we may say that WE have responded to the demand for remedial currency legislation.
 It was also announced tonight that Representative Bartholdt of Missouri, the chairman of the public buildings commit tee, would not call the fiat pork measure out of conference until the House had en- acted a currency bill The position of Bartholdt was, of course, suggested to him by Cannon.
 Using the pork" measure as a club to force through other legislation is one of the oldest parliamentary resorts of the leaders.
 Rivers and harbors bills well as pub. lie building measures have frequently served the good or bad purpose of bring ing recalcitrant members into line and the Speaker wants to make 1t his trump card in the present instance

Protection for Farmer Is De-
 manded In Statistics Bill
PETITION ID THE SPEAKER
MT. Heflin Declares That He Wants the Country To Know That There Is No Law Where a Law
 Is Badly Needed

Washington May 3.-(Special )-Repre- sentative He1in of Alabama tonight gave Representative Payne the republican floor leader In the House, a terrific SCOT ing for his holding up the bill preventing Justification of agricultural statistics
 "The President of the Farmers Ma tional congress favors this legislation, = said MT Hcf1in. 'The president of the Southern Cotton association indorses 1t, and the president of the Farmers Union is enthusiastic for it. The farmers all over the country favor it, and they want this legislation, but their wants amount to but little with the republican floor leader Mr. Payne of New York; and his party in this house. If this were a trust measure or a ship subsidy, you could count on the gentleman from New York (Mr. Payne) to give to it his unqualified and enthusiastic support. But, sir, if the Legislation is in the interest of the people generally, or the farmers of the country, the gentleman from New York (Mr. Payne), ever watchful of certain special interests, rises and objects.
 How long, Mir Speaker, will the peo- pie be deceived by the deception that we see practiced by republican leaders every day? How can any honest man oppose this bill to safeguard agricultural statis- ties? Here's the bill and report. I am glad to say that the democrats here are all In favor of 1t. Here Is a petition to the Speaker of the House, signed by the democratic members, requesting. him to allow me, or some one else, to call up the bill and pass 1t.
 Here is the petition MT. Speaker. I want the country to know that there is no law now to punish an employe of the government-. for obtaining and selling statistical information to the cotton and grain gamblers of this country. There is no law to punish them for giving out false information on the day fixed by law for publishing crop reports. etc
 MT. Speaker. we can pass my bill in one minute if the gentleman from New York will withdraw his objection Spec ulation in the coming crop will amount to a great deal to the speculators and in the absence of some law to protect az ricultural statistics, the farmers are at the mercy of the smart rascals of the gambling exchanges.
 If man can be found like Holmes, who will sell this information, the gam blers will rejoice and the man not be punished MT. Speaker, the gentleman from New York (Mr. Payne) and his as sociates here must face the charge of de- ceit and unfaithfulness to the American people,"

Collision Is Caused Between
 Steamers At New York
PANIC AMONG PASSENGERS
Launching Party Returning From a Trip on Steamer Is Badly Fright ened By the Jamming of
 Steamer-None Hurt.

New York May 25.-Dense fog banks, which have been sweeping in from the sea for several days, enveloped the east ern seaboard with impenetrable curtains and delayed all shippings; sent two steamships-the Clyde line steamer Sem mole and an unknown steamer-off their courses today onto the shifting shoals that fringe the Jersey coast; caused a midriver collision of two steamers to- night in the harbor, which threw over 300 passengers into a state of panic; gen. erally snarled ferry boat service in the harbor, and kept two transatlantic liners hugging their anchorage all night tonight off Sandy Hook
 The Seminole found herself hard aground on sand key off Point Pleas ant, near Long Branch, N J., today while groping out in the fog the last leg of her voyage to New York from West Indian ports. The Seminole carried only few passengers who were assured by the ships officers that there was no dan ger. Two life saving crews put out to the stranded ship to give any needed as- sistance. The vessel heavily freighted with cargo of sugar, cocoa and tobacco, lay in an easy position, in about 12 feet of water, near the beach. Only mild sea was running tonight, and there is every reason to believe that the Seminole will be fioated into deep water at the next high tide. There is a crew of 50 aboard.
 Repeated blasts of fog horn gave warning to the life savers of the Bay head and Mantoloking life saving sta- tions that another steamer was in diff culty on the bars. The name of the ship was not learned.
 Over 300 passengers on the Department of Charities steamer. Thomas S. Bren- nan, returning from the launching of the steamer Lowell, at New Brighton, s. C., were precipitated into a panic tonight when the steamship Maraval loomed out of fog bank in the channel off Liberty Island, and before the steel freighter could swing off her course crashed into the Brennan abaft the starboard paddle wheel box and tore a rent in the steam CTS side near the water line. Fright ened by the shock of the collision and the sound of the splintering timbers, scores of the launching party, many of whom were women, put on life pre- servers and scrambled to the steamer s rail and leaped to the bow of the Mara val, which remained tightly wedged in the side of the listing Brennan. When 1t was discovered that the Maravals bow had not penetrated below the water line the Maraval backed off, leaving the Bren- nan to proceed to tho Battery, where many of the passengers were landed.
 Outside of the gate of New York's port the Atlantic transport liner Minnehaha. from London, and the steamer Moltke, of the HamburgAmerican line from Medi- terranean ports, are anchored tonight. waiting for the fog to lift to come up to their docks.

 There is absolutely no chance for any publicity as to election contributors or contributions, either at this session of Congress or at any other session of Con- gress controlled by the republicans" says MT. Clark. Absolutely the only hope we have for such legislation is in the election of a democratic Congress"
 The democratic leader. MT. Williams of Mississippi said: I've have used our best efforts for publicity funds and in order to defeat it the republicans have coupled 1t with the negro question:"
