ALABAMA RIVERS
 WILL GET LITTLE
RIVERS AND HARBoRS COMMIT TEE WORKING HARD AND WILL BE READY TO REPORT NEXT WEEK.

Washington. February 4.-(Special)- )-The rivers and harbors committee Is working daily upon its bill which will probably be reported to the House within two weeks. The committee has discussed the appropriation for several of the Alabama rivers, but as yet no fixed sums have been agreed upon. The indications are that there will be an increase over appro- priations carried by the bills reports to the House last year.
 In the last Congress the bill carried s140,000 for the Tennessee river above and below Chattanooga. There will be an in crease this time.
 The appropriations for the Warrior. Black Warrior and Tombigbee rivers will probably be in the neighborhood of S300,- GOO, with s4O00OO or s5O000O additional for three locks and dams in the Tombigbee and Warrior rivers.
 About $70 GOO will go to the Chattahoo- chee river, while the Choctohatchee and Alabama rivers will receive about s20, 900 each.
 The Coosa will receive little more than the amounts necessary for maintenance.

the price of s4OO0O.O0O asked by the Pan anna Company for its property as far and reasonable. The expense of operat- ing the two lines would be in proportion to the lengths of the canals.
 In his opinion MT. Noble believed, talk ing in view the whole proposition, the Panama proposition was better than the Nicaragua plan.
 This question and the reply to it caused Senator Morgan to enter upon course of inquiry calculated to bring out the fact that the coastwise trade would be better served through the Nicaragua route than through the Panama route. MT. Morgan stated that 57 per cent of this coastwise trade is conducted by sailing vessels and the witness said in reply to the inquiry that sailing vessels would be better accommodated in the Nicaragua ca nal than in the Panama canal.
 Senator Hanna met these points with the statement that comparatively all of the coastwise trade would cross the isth mus through either canal.

New York. February 14.-The fight over the office of sheriff in Hamilton County. in the heart of the Adirondacks. has de- veloped into a fight of another kind. ac- cording to a Herald dispatch from Sar- atoga. At the election last November, Locke, Democrat was declared elected by the board of supervisors, but Kalhan, the Republican candidate, carried the matter to the courts. charging frauds and irregu- larities, and the Supreme Court decided in his favor.
 Meanwhile Locke had taken possession of the office. including the courthouse and jail and refused to obey the orders of the court and surrender to his Tivaf.
 Both claimants organized forces to se- cure the place. and Locke has. 1t is re- ported. fortified himself in the county jail. declaring the decision was wrong, and will be reversed. and he does not propose to give up until the case has been determined by the court of last re- sort

AerOnaut's Life Saved But His Fine Machine is
 Tattered Wreck
MOTOR LIES AT BOTTOM
 OF THE BAY OF MONACO
Fell In the Sea, But Was Pulled On Board a Launch Which Came Alongside-Not Discouraged
 and Will Try Again.

Monaco, February 14-Santos-D Dumont, the aeronaut. met with a disaster here today and had narrow escape from death. His airship is a tattered wreck. while tonight his motor lies at the bot tom of the Bay of Monaco.
 It was soon noticed after the airshp rose this afternoon that instead of main- taining its usual equilibrium the ballon rose and pitched in a way that created considerable anxiety among the specta- tors. The aeronaut however kept on his flight, and pointing his airship to the left continued to ascend until the long guide rope was quite twenty feet out of the bay. In turning the balloon the guide rope caught in the screw. and this with the cratic working of the airship created a situation of great danger.
 squaI Burst Upon Him.
 At the same time squall burst and Santos-Dumont tilted the head of his balloon upwards in order to disengage the guide ropes. But in so doing the ballast shifted, and the oil used to run the motor began to spread. Fearing an explosion, the inventor pulled the emergency cord. This ripped the envelope of the balloon. which at once began rapidly to descend
 In the meanwhile the steam launches in the hay xvere r1aLipg +o,ra,d +l.o ..o4 where 1t was supposed the balloon would fall. The first to approach was the Princess Alice. belonging to the Prince of Monaco, and those on board seized the balloons guide rope The balloon de- scended until Santos Dumont was i'm. mersed up to his armpits in the water. The aeronaut could be seen standing up in his car gesticulating and shouting d. rections to those on the launch which Alice.
 Launch Came Alongside.
 At 3:o5 the end of the balloon burst and the launch came alongside the half de- hdleo balloon or the airship, which threatened at any moment to smother Santos-Dumont. The latter was half pulled and half clambered over the gun whale into the boat
 With the sea water dripping from his clothes and looking like a water rat the inventor stood in the bows of the launch shouting directions for the sal wage of his airship. It was impossible to save more than the silk envelope. The motor sank. As Santos-D -Dumont landed the great assemblage which had gathered on the shore acclaimed him with extraor- dinary enthusiasm. His first words were ''I am not discouraged. My trip to Cape Martin is only postponed. I will start again soon as I can get ready"
