Capt. Bodson in the Inflated Katanga expedi-

how the Msiris attacked the expedition and how

Bodson, when the latter In self-defense sho.

The katanga expedition, under command Of
Capt Stairs, was organized by the Belgian
hatanSa Company, and was intended TO effect a
settlement in Msiri's kingdom, westward Of
Lakes Macro and Bangweolo. Its ultimate OBJ

gion. which is supposed to be rich in copper,
quicksilver and gold" 1t is questionable
whether Msiri's country is within the British
sphere OF influence or that Of the Congo state

Neighboring Wisconsin Towns Coming to
the Relief of the People.
ST.PAUL, MINI, July 26.-A special from
West Superior, Wis, says: Neighboring towns
hare responded generously with aid for the
hundreds of homeless people at Iron River.
The loss of household effects was needlessly
great owing to the expectation that fire engines
would arrive, and many made no effort TO save
their goods until too late. Not over S2o, 900 in
sursnce was carried on the DESTROYED property,
which was worth over ten times that amount
Several Superior contractors are heavy losers,
having erected many buildings and taken time
same. Losses-D. s. s. and A., S35. 900;
Northern Pacific. $40, COO. and Wisconsin In
vestroent Company, S30, 900. Most Of the peo-
ple are housed in Passenger coaches and freight
cars and rebuilding Will go on rapidly. 1t is
now said the fire was of incendiary origin.
Tramps, of which there are scores in the
town, are supposed to have been responsible
1t il even claimed they prevented citizens from
making effectual efforts at fighting the fire. A
wagon containing three barrels of water was
driven hastily up to the fire, but the water was
spilled by the tramps before it could be used
They hindered fire fighters in other ways and
robbed and plundered right and left. The
trarnps secured large quantities Of liquor, which
they tugged and rolled to timber near by. As
a result the tramps are drunken and insulting
One tramp was shot at yesterday, but escaped.
Iron River was what is known as hot town"
and the tough fraternity was prominent.
