Congress will be asked to make the

road construction in 1882 available i'm
mediately on enactment Of the Agricul-
ture Departments supply bill.
Chairmen of State Drought Relief
Committees, meeting with the National
Committee, were so advised today by
@. w. Warburton, secretary Of the Ma
tional Committee. Secretary Hyde and
the Budget Bureau win join in the
recommendation.
II agreed to, Warburton explained,
the road funds for the fiscal year 1882
would be available probably before
March /, rather than on July /, the
beginning of the 1892 fiscal year.
Warburton pointed out that during
September and October $16,740,0 900 in
Federal funds for highway construction
were used, as compared with So, 900
in the same two months last year. This
acceleration was to stimulate employ
ment to help farmers suffering from
the drought.
Contracts made against the 1892 al
lotment for road construction are ex-
pected to represent aggregate expendi-
lures by State and Federal Govern
ments Of $30,000,000 prior to the LIST

However. 1t was not felt that anything
which might happen so far away could
greatly affect Hungary, both govern
ment and populace of which do not
seem to relish the idea Of King.
Coup de'Etat Unlikely.
The impression here is that Prince
Otto will not make any attempt to re-
turn to Budapest unless invited by the
regency or the government, and neither
seems likely. A coup d'etat, such as
that which recently re-established King
Carol Of Rumania, certainly Is not ex-
pected.
At feast organized by the Legitimist
Union of the Holy Cross 1000 unem-
ployed received gifts in the name Of the
Archduke Otto.
Although Hungary nominally is a
monarchy, the government Is admin
istered by the regent, Horthy, and no
move has been made, outside of nor
mally royalist circles, to bring either
Otto or another to the throne. There
have been some forecasts that such q
move would materialize today when
Otto reached his majority.

BUDAPEST, Hungary, November 20
Hungarian legitimists today celebrated
the eighteenth birthday and attainment
of majority of Prince Otto, last Of the
Hapsburg direct male line and pre-
tender to this country's throne.
The high Hungarian aristocracy
gathered this forenoon In the BaSilican
Church for brilliant pontiflcal mass
in honor of the day. The church
square. filled with Budapest's curious,
cost for the occasion, but entirely at the
expense Of the legitimists.
Two Principals Absent.
There were two notable absentees at
the ceremony-young Prince Otto, who
is In school at Steenockerzell, Belgium,
and any representative for the govern
ment, which of1icially at least took no
cognizance of the goings-on.
The service was celebrated by the
bishop, Count Mikes. The congregation
included Count Albert Apponyi and his
countess and Counts Itchy, Ivan,
CsekonicS, SomSsich, Louis, Batthyany,
George, Pallavicini and Marenzi and
their ladies.
There were no incidents of any sort
in Budapest and the populace appeared
entirely tranquil, almost Indifferent to
the happenings.
Quiet Observance.
A deputation consisting of the Hun
garian legitimist counts, itchy, Sigray,
Cziraky, SoSsich and Hunyady, left here
today for Steenockerzeel to present Otto
with the congratulations of his Hun
garian adherents upon the occasion of
his birthday.
Dispatches from Steenockerzeel told
OF birthday celebration last night and
today, attended by his mother, the for
mer Empress zita, and large group of
Austrian and Hungarian noblemen.

received In getting away from the
steamer after she went aground on the
rocks near Peniche at dawn yesterday.
The two others, a Spanish woman
emigrant and her child, were believed
lost.
Captain Is Distressed.
The saddest Of all the survivors was
Capt. T. j. Jones, 75-year-old COM
mander of the vessel. Although sur
vivors regarded his saving of passen-
gers and crew in life boats as q per-
Sonal triumph, he was overcome with
grief at the disaster. Upon landing at
Peniche, he had to be supported by
two Of his officers. He had an enviabie
reputation for navigation which made
younger ofhcers contest for places on
his ships.
Authorities learned TODAY that n light
house situated on the FariIhoes Islands
had not worked since an explosion de-
stroyed the light several nights ago. but
mariners said the light probably could
not have averted the ships loss in anv
case. They said the fog was SO thick
that no light could penetrate it more
than a few feet.
The loss Of the Highland Hope is
the worst casualty reported this year
oy Lloyds. The ships. hull insurance
amounts to E647, 900 (about 1926 .OOOl.
while the entire insurance, including
freight and passage money, probably will
amount to . million pounds. The ship
was making its fourth voyage,
Duchess Loses Jewels.
Among the passengers was the Ouch
ess OF Hamilton, 76-year-old Scottish
noblewonnan. she lost all her baggage,
including some very famous Jewels.

yesterday. Five seamen were drowned
last night In a collision Of the British
steamers Continental Freighter and
Hebble during q storm in Antwerp
Roads. The Continental Freighter sank.
The victims were members Of her crew,
