Smithsonian Expedition Starts on a Journey of 108 Miles. Nlmule, Uganda, Feb. 8. —Theodore Roosevelt’s ten days’ march to Gondokoro was begun, the whole Smithsonian scientific expedition going along. The path lies through an unpeopled district. The porters were burdened with food supplies. The distance from Nimule to Gondokoro is about 108 miles. This stage of the expedition will be as severe a test of physical endurance as the party has had.
