ROYALISTS PLOT
PORTUA
L
LISBON, Sept 20. Wholesalo ar
rests are being made hero today as
n result of tho discovery of a for
midable royalist plot against the now
Portuguese republic. The conspira
tors made their headquarters at
Iranno Castello, where important
documents wero seized, implicating
several personal friends of cx-Kinj:
Manuel himself.
High officinls of the republican
government is cncourageding the Por
tugucso royalists from his haven in
England and complaints probablv
will be sent to the British foreign af
fairs. Inasmuch as it is known that
tho ex-king has already been told he
must not involvo England in nny db-
puto with Prtugal, it is considered not
unlikely that ho may rcccivo a hint
that his departure from British soil
is desired.
And now for Richard (Himself)
Carlo who is finnlly to pay this city
a visit. This eolcbrated comedian
is announced to nppcar at Medford

success "Jumping Jupitor," which
makes no highor prctenso than to
amuse, and as it providen manifold
opportunities for laughter it certain
ly can bo said to renlizo all that is
claimed for it. No comedian of tho
present day oxools Mr. Carlo "in tho
humor of his pantomimo, tho qunint
insistence of his drollery, and tho
grotesque grace of Jiis skillful dnno-ing.

MAKING WATER FAST
WHEN HEADED FOR SHORE
Cargo Holds Badly Flooded Cruis
er Also Badly Damaged In
The Collision.
LONDON, Sept. 20. Upon leaving
Southampton today for Now York
with every berth filled, tho White Star
liner Olympic, tha largest steamship
aflaot, was rammed by the British
cruiser Hawko and only quick beach
ing of the liner prevented what might
have been one of the worst manuo
disasters in history.
The Olympic was later removed to
drydock at Southampton nnd tho
Hawkc, which was also badly dam
aged, was placed in a drydock at
Portsmouth.
Among the passengers on the Olym
pic -were many prominent persons,
including William "Waldorf Astor,.
George P. Baker, President W. C.
Brown of tho New York Central rail
road, Charles P. Bryan of Chicago,
who is transferring as United Stntes
minister to Belgium to be minister
to Japan; Richard Croker, Jr., Fred
erick P. Duryctt, George P. Idc, Clar
ence n. Mackny, Felix Warburton,
Harry Payne Whitney, Harry Widen
cr and Frank Munsey.
The Olympic had just left South
ampton with itts load of returning
American tourists nnd entered tho
Solent which swarms with shipping.
It was in the Solent that the Amer
ican liner St. Paul was rammed by
a British cruiser a few years ago
during a blizzard and many persons
were drowned.
The steel prow of tho warship
struck the Olympic squarely on tho
starboard quarter. Collission signals
were given but men and officers in
all parts of the ship felt the jar so
distinctly that they immediately mado
ready for tho emergencies. The bulk
heads of the liner automatically
closed with the heavy jolt of tho
collission, yet water rushed in like a
roaring freshet.
Lifeboats and rafts wero manned
and stewards went among the fright
ened passengers, assuring them that
thero was no dangor. While many
women were nearly panic stricken,
most of the cabin passengers showed
remarkable calmness.
Tho Olympic was making water
fast when sho started for shallow
water. Tho nawko nnd othor war
ships stood by. Tho agents of tho
lino at Southampton wero immediate
ly notified by wireless of the Olym
pic's plight.
Examination showed that tho liner
was smashed on tho starboard quar
ter nnd tho cargo holds wore badly
flooded. Tho deep sea post offico
was flooded and it is feared that
much mail was destroyed,
Aftor tho vessels parted tho Hawko
signalled for assistance With a
badly crumpled bow tho cruiser mnn
aged to keep afloat by looking her
forward compartment. Sho steamed
to Portmouth with ugs convoying
hor.
Tho Olympic was temporarily re
paired and puuips set to work draiu
ine tho wuter from hor hold. Sho was
draggod off tho mud by a fleet of;
tugs and towed to drydock nt South
ampton. This trip was tho stiirt of tho lin
er's fifth voyage.
