ROUNDS EIFFEL TOWER
IN A BALLOON

Paris. Oct 2O.-M. Santos Dumont
yesterday sailed around the Eiffel tow
err in his airship from the Pare
dAerostatiOn. IL near st. Cloud, dis
tance of eleven kilometers tseven
miles,. in 20 minutes 30 seconds, an
average rate of 14A miles per hour.
The airship sailed with the wind to
the tower. II distance of three and one
half miles, In nine minutes and eight
seconds, equivalent to u rate of twen-
ty-three miles per hour.
Returning against the wind. which
was blowing about thirteen and one
half milSs per hour. took twenty min
utes thirty seconds, equivalent to n
rate of ten and one-half miles per
hour.
But instead of descending immedi-
ately SantOs-Dumont made broad
sweep over the Aero Club grounds,
with the result that another minute
and twenty-five seconds were con-
sumed before the workmen seized the
guide rope. Thus technically Santos
Dumont exceeded the time Unfit by
forty seconds.
The enormous crowd which had
gathered inside and outside the
dous ovation. As his basket came
within speaking distance Santos-Du-
mont leaned over the side and asked:
Have 1 won the prizey
Hundreds of spectators shouted:
Yes. yes!" but the Count de Dion, n
member of the committee. approached
and threw n damper on the enthusi-
asm by saying:
MY friend. you have lost the prize
by forty seconds"
Numbers of the onlOokers protested
against this announcement In lively
terms, but the Count de Dion said:
THAT Is the decision of the COM
mittee. in accordance with the rules
of the contest"
The aeronaut. after protesting
against the decision of the committee,
finally shrugged his shoulders and re-
marked:
Anyway. l do not care personally
for the 100000 francs. intended to
give 1t to the poor"
The crowd persisted in declaring
that Santos-Dumont had won. y num-
ber of ladies' who were present threw
flowers over the aeronaut. Others Of
fered him bouquets, and one admirer,
to the amusement of the onlookers,
even presented him with n little white
rabbit
At this moment NJ. Deutsch himself,
the g1ver OF tne prize. arTiNcu Ut thc
club ground. having only shortly be-
fore that moment reached Paris from
BiarrltZ. He advanced. embraced San
tos-Dumont, shook hands with him
and said:
For my part, l consider that you
have won the prize"
The crowd then gave the two men
great ovation. cheering heartily for
Santos Dumont and Deutsch.
Santos-Dumont claims that lie won
the prize because he reached the park
within the time. and that the original
rules governing the contest made no
mention of having to touch the ground
within the thirty minutes.

Peculiar Bankruptcy DeclsIon.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 2O.-Judge w. T.
Newman of the United States District
Court has handed down an opinion of
interest to the mercantile commurtlE-
and the legal profession mt large. ~
The Supreme Court of the United
States has decided under Il section of
the bankruptcy law, that II payment
within four months preceding the i'll
ing of the petition in bankruptcy must
be surrendered before the creditor
shall be allowed to prove his claim in
bankruptcy
Another section of the bankruptcy
act authorizes preference for the
amount of goods which has been sold to
the bankrupt subsequent to the pay
ment received, if the goods entered into
and became Il part of the bankrupt es-
tate.
The question before Judge Newman
was as to whether such Il set-off would
be allowed in the case of a creditor
whose preference was not knowingly
received.
Judge Newman holds that the set-off
should be allowed as well us in cases
where the payment was innocently re
ceived, as in cases where it was not
Judge Newman subsequently passed
an order authorizing the trustee to take
the case to the Circuit Court of appeals
at New Orleans for review.

ALASKA VISITED BY
STORM AND DISASTER

Port Townsend, wash, Oct. 2O.-The
steamer Centennial. reported ashore
near Teller City, arrived last night
bringing 45O passengers. The CenteIl-
NAL sailed from Nome October 9th.
Among her passengers were thirty who
were destitute and We're brought down
by the steamer free of charge. The
Centenniars passengers report that
at st. Michaels winter had practically
set in and that the streets were frozen
and snow had commenced to fall.
Skagway and vicinity have been WIS.,
tied by disastrous rain storms, causing
considerable loss of property. October
18th torrent of water rushed down
the valley carrying destruction in Its
wake. Three bridges We're wrecked,
the roadbed of the White Pass Il Yu-
kon railroad was washed away in pla-
ces and the water front between
Broadway and the bluff was inun-
dated
A big slide occurred near Pennington
and the snow sheds just erected were
wrecked. Three days is the minimum
time that will pass before trains can
be moved on the road. The loss Will
easily foot up to $4,000.
When the waters began to make
their appearance around the doors of
houses in Skagway in tlfe low ground,
considerable excitement prevailed. and
as the rain continued In torrents, all
made preparations to move. Captain
jerks of the army ordered the mill
tary out and they rendered assistance
In saving both life and property.
Carrying away of bridges along the
railroad means a great lOsss to men at
Dawson who We're shipping in machin-
cry for winter mining purposes, as the
machinery now at Skagway cannot be
moved until the road is repaired. and
by that time the river will be frozen
so that the machinery cannot reach
Dawson until spring.
