Duluth, Mimi, May o.-Fifty frame
buildings on Minnesota Point, just
above the ship canal, were burned Sun
day afternoon. There was lazy puff
of smoke, burst of flame and then u
long row of lamshackle buildings
sprang into blaze. An hour later 1000
people were homeless. The fire took 12
frame store buildings fronting on
Lower Lake avenue, just below the
Misunderstanding district and swept from
there back to the lake shore. The dis
trict was populated by the poorest peo-
pie in the city. Many of the upper
parts of the two and three-story store
buildings were occupied as tenements.
They were inhabited as closely as the
people could cluster and back of the
line of buildings fronting on the street
were shacks hutdled all too close for
health and safety. There are no par

total is thought to be over 100000.

James Pinnock, African merchant Of
Liverpool, who was one of the original
promoters of the Royal Niger company
and director for many years, in the
course OF aIi interview with represent
alive of The Daily Mail, said 81 went
out to west Africa 40 years ago and Wis
tied almost every port and place in that
region, including the Niger, many
times, and my business has been with
west Africa ever since. In 1870 I built
a steamer, called the Rio Formoso, spe-
cially for service on the river Niger, and
with her explored and opened up, for
tho first time in history, the river For
cados This river flows into the Atlantic
and is one of the entrances to the Niger.
"The Importance Of this great river
Niger and the hinterland is well known
to those who are engaged i'll the African
trade, but we can only expect it will
slowly dawn on tho mind of the British
public. | am convinced, however, the
more they look into it the more imper.
tant they will see it is to the interests of
British trade not to lose any of it,
Fifteen years ago there were four
firms grading ON the Niger. They were
the West African company, the Central
African Trading company (and with
this latter Taubman Bres. One of them
now Sir Taubman Goldie--were con-

all four firms joined and called ourselves
the United African company, which
was subsequently, changed to the Ma
tional African company and after that
again to the Royal Niger company.
The position today" continued Mr..
Pinnockl would be better understood
if a good map could be put before the
public of the whole hinterland of our
west African colonies. Such thing un-
fortunately does not exist at present.
The strict geography of the country is
only understood by very few. Our
knowledge of the hinterland, however,
has increased immensely during the past
few years, and to instance one particu-
larly large territory would point out
that the French flag is already flying at

H. Hinckley, prosecuting attorney of the town court, The latter made out the necessary papers in the case and Wednesday morning Captain Sheffield was arrainged in court charged with having one such lobster in his posses sion for t.he purpose of sale. He plead ed guilty, and was fiMd $7 and costs
