The natives used clay balls in their
old muskets, having burned the clay TO
about the consistency of brick In
shooting they do not put the gun to the
shoulder or look along the sight; pOinJ-
ing at the object as one would do with
a stick and then firing. Several OF
Merchand's men were struck by these
clay balls, but not wounded seriously
The expedition consists Of fourteen
white officers and 163 black soldiers
from the Western Soudan, called Sene-
galeSe, but are by right Soudanese.
They arrived at Loango, on the coast.
July "a, 1896. Merchand and some of
the white officers came direct to Braz-
zaville, but the main body did not sue
ceed in getting here until Jan. 49, Pre-
parattons are now making to continue
the march up the Mobangi river.
Capt Dhanis has charge Of a force
which is marching on the equatorial
lakes and the source of the Nile. on
Henry NJ. Stanley's old trail, up the
Aruwimi river. Capt Dhanis is the
man who had charge of the expedition
of the Congo state that cleared the
Arabs out in the Upper Congo back of
Stanley Falls station. He it was who
killed SeffO, Tippo Tbs son, and cap
tured Rashid, Tippo Tbs nephew, and
governor Of Stanley Falls. Rashid is
now prisoner on the Kassia river, a
thousand miles away. closely watched
and having no hope Of escape.
Another expedition under the leader
ship of NJ. Gentle, which started out
from here some time ago, is blockaded
on one Of the small rivers which emp
ties into the Mobangi, where it turns
south toward the Congo. The latest
from him is that his expedition is short
of provisions and his position critical.
The object Of the Merchand expedi-
ton is to march to the headwaters of
the Mobangi, cross over to the head
waters of the Nile and attack the der
wishes or Arabs, while Capt Dhanis
will attack them from another point.
The expedition, while endeavoring TO
conquer the Arabs, will also look after
the French and Belgian interests in
this section and checkmate the English
in attempts to occupy the territory. If
the plan is successful it will connect the
French Congo with Lake Tchad.

IN THE HOUSE.
The Bill Went Through as Though
1t Was GrenAed

when the eapportionment bill had
passed the senate, no time was lost in
bringing it into the house. Mr.. Ferris
reported the bill together with the con-
ference report. which had already pass
ed the other body. The report was read
by the clerk, and then Mr. Underleak
rose to inquire whether the bill was
satisfactory to the Ramsey delegation.
1t is satisfactory to all members pres
ent, said Mr.. Johns, evidently noting
the fact that Mr.. Scott was out of the
house.
Mr.. Olds, of Yellow Medicine sent
up an amendment to provide another
member for the house from that dis
trict, but the speaker ruled that the
bill was in the same attitude as a bill
on third reading, hence could not be
received, unless by unanimous con-
sent. Then the roll call began. Mr..
Donnelly rose TO explain his vote, say
ing that while he was not quite salts
fed with the bill, particularly regarding
the Yellow Medicine district, vet such
concessions had been made to Duluth
and Red river valley counties, that he
was constrained to vote for the bin.
Mr.. Larson also expressed his dissafis-
faction, but voted for the bill Those

consent to the broad scheme of au-
tonomy for Crete, which has been pro-
posed by the other powers. There is a
rumor at Athens that Germany has at
last been informed that since she
makes no sacrifices, she is not in a
position TO dictate If this is true, the
concert of the powers may still become
something more than q mere name.
In spite of official denials, it is be-
lieved that a treaty of alliance between
Servia, Bulgaria and Montenegro is on
the eve Of conclusion. The treaty,
however, will require Russia's approval
and will pledge the three states men
toned to defend the independence of
their joint territory. 1t was this news
which produced the strained relations
between Bulgaria and Roumania and
led the BulgarlanS to talk of retaking
Dubrudja, which was followed by both
Bulgaria and Roumania massing trooLs
on the frontier.
A special dispatch from Athens says
that the invasion of Turkish territory
by Greek insurgents is believed to he
the forerunner of a declaration Of war.
1t is added that in spite Of the numer-
Gus forces already at the front, two
further classes Of the Greek army re-
serves have been called out. The Even
ing News this afternoon publishes q
dispatch from Elassona, dated mid
night, WHICH says 1t Is certain the
Greek invaders were semi-officially or,
ganized. The dispatch adds that four
teen battaliOns of Turkish troops are
now engaged in the movement of the
invaders, whose advance parties retired
but soon rallied and continued the
fight. The Turkish troops are all AL
banians and it is difficult to restrain
their impetuOsity.
The insurgents, when crossing the
frontier. divided into three bands. The
first two of these advanced unopposed.
and the third was attacked by the
Turks. All three bands then reunited
and made a good stand. The fighting
is described as being desperate

nOple says that three warships of the

may be supposed. that Edham Pasha

ory Of this, in connection with the lit

vaunted concert, is not likely to put
the Greeks in the humor to withdraw

his ministers are surprised at the i'm
mense army Turkey has Unexpectedly
put upon the frontier, we'll armed and

want of resources, and may foresee the
futility of fighting Turkey, if the pow
ers are determined, as they threaten,
that neither combatant shall get ad-
vantage therefrom. Whether, once the
fighting commences, the powers will be
able to execute their threat is a ques-
tion of the future. The danger of the
situation is the fact that Turkey is
undoubtedly anxious to give the Greeks
a lesson, and has only thus far been
prevented from so doing by the infiu-
ence Of the powers.
The orders which Edham Pasha, the
Turkish cOmmander-in-chief, received
from COnstantinOple when the invasion
became known, were to speedily ascer-
tain whether any soldiers of the regular
Greek army were among the insur-
gents who crossed the frontier. Tele-
