INTO THE SEA.
Santos Oumont Obliged to Take Sea
Bath at Monaco.

Monaco. Feb. 14.-Santos-Dumo diri-
gible balloon collapsed at sea. this after
noon. Santos-Dumont was rescued un-
hurt. .-rt
The aeronaut started at 80 p NJ. and
was proceeding in the direction of Cape
Martin. When opposite the casino at
Monte Carlo rent occurred in the bal
loon and in less than 10 minutes all the
gas had escaped and the balloon fell into
the sea. Several boats. including the
Prince of Monaco's launch. were follow
ing the balloon and Santos-Dumont was
rescued. ttM
The accident was due to the balloon
not being fully inflated. The guide rope
became entangled in the propeller. San
tos-Dunont thercupon shifted the balance
weight. making the balloon assume the
perpendicular position. In the hope OF
freeing the guide rope, but this caused
the oil to flow ont of the engines reser'
voir and the aeronaut fearing an explo-
sion pulled the emergency cord, which
ripped the balloon case.
The balloon and SantOs-Dumont were
safely taken ashore.

IN THE SENATE.
Extra Clerks and Messengers Cause
Charges Of Extravaganee.

Washington, Feb. IA little furry
was created in the Senate, today, over
the employment of a score or more of
extra clerks and messengers to COM
mittees since the beginning of the ses-
sion. The charges of extravagance
which were made induced the refer
employment to q committee for inves-
tigation and report.
The bill creating permanent cen-
sus Office was under consideration for
a time, but was not disposed of finally.
After the passage of large number
of private pension bills the Senate
eulogized the life and character of the
late Representative Brosius Of Penn

At the opening Of today's session of
the Senate, resolutions for the employ
ment of extra clerks and messengers were
favorably reported by the committee or
contingent expenses. These called out a
vigorous protest from Clay Ga.). He
pointed out that during the past 20 days,
more than 20 extra messengers and clerks
had been employed at salary of $14i0
each per year. He had been informed, he
said, that nine of these employees were
for committees that had not had meet

that the proposed salary was greater
