he did take along an automatic piano,
and a thousand bottles of wines and
liquors. The young duke sailed the
other day from Chrlstiania in the Stel-
la Polare, but so lavish had been his
orders that the ship was libeled by
tradesmen, and the royal explorer had
to bond her before he could clear. 1t
is supposed that the ship will touch
at Archangel, and then try to reach
Franz Josef Land.
Previously to the sailing OF the
Fran last summer on her second voy-
age to the Arctic, the duke, after va
rious conferences with Captain Otto
Sverdrup. determined on making
Franz Josef Land the base of his op
erations. and adopted the plan formed
originally by Jackson of laying down
depots of provisions along the route
that was to lead to and from the Pole.
Sverdrup being of the opinion that If
the conditions were favorable the Pole
could be reached in sixty days, and
the journey to and from be accom-
plished in four months. After jack
sons three years experiences in those
regions and his discovery of vast
open sea to the north of Franz Josef

Will an italian Duke Succeed Where
Others Have Met With Disaster?

Prince Luigi. Duke of Abruzzi, hav-
ing climbed Mount St. Elias and been
wrecked in an expedition to Alaska,
is striving now to add to his reputa-
tion by going in search of the North
Pole. Being only &c years old, an en-
thusiastic adventurer. a yachtsman,
hunter of big game and a general
all-round sportsman, the quest of the
Pole appeals strongly to the imagina-
ton of this scion of the house of Sa-
voy. He is a son of Amadeo, King
Umberto's brother. now dead who was
once king of Spain, and the young
man was born in Madrid while his
father still reigned there. Nansen's
expedition and the Jackson expedi-
tion filled the duke with strong de-
sire to follow in the wake of those
Arctic adventures. Soon after the re-
turn of Jackson from Franz Josef
Land the duke announced that he
would fit out an expedition for the
Arctic.
For eighteen mc-ths the duke has
been preparing for his trip. He has
bought and fitted out the sailing
steamer Stella Polare, or North Star
in English. The royal explorer seems
to have ordered supplies lavishly if
not wisely. When he left Italy to go
to Norway he left behind 1900 cases
of supplies which he had bought. But

both the whig and free soil parties
were to be replaced by the Republic

Republican. He was elected dele

Indiana and regarding was as inevita-
BILE, he campaigned for the cause of alb
clifton until 1860, when he was again
elected to congress. this time as Re
publican. For the next ten years he
was a prominent political character in
Washington, noted for his unswerving
honesty, his bluntness, slight dispo-
sition to be grabbed when opposed, but
always having his face set toward the
right. He served on the joint COM
mittee on the conduct of the war and
for eight years was chairman OF the
committee on public lands. He was
reelected to his seat in congress four
times.
He belonged to type Of thinkers
produced by conditions on the then
frontier. The type has been almost
obliterated now. AS early as 1S47 he
was an advocate of woman suffrage,
and in 1868 proposed in congress
constitutional amendment giving wor-
en- the right to vote. He believed from
the day the emancipation proclamation
was issued that the negro should have
the right to vote, and while his judg-
ment on that point might be seriously
questioned now, he never wavered in
his support of the proposition until 1t
was an accomplished fact. The first
administration of Grant did not please
him, because he believed the Repub-

and that there may be a season in
which the waters which are generally
open may be closed and form suit
able highway for explorers.
The chances of the expedition reach
ing Franz Josef Land this season are,
unfortunately, slight. 1t is well known
that the group of islands to which this
name has been given are often mac
cessible, and the vast mass of ice
which this year fills the Arctic seas is
likely to prove an insurmountable OBJ
stacle to navigation in high Northern
latitudes. Up to the present the at
tempts of the Norwegian hunters in
their sloops to gain Spitzenbergen, and
a German scientific expedition to reach
Bear Island have proved futile, all
progress being stopped by the ice bar
rier in 70 degrees SO minutes N. Lat.
necessitating their return to Norway.
So severe has the winter been in the
Arctic that the polar pack was OBJ
served within a few miles of the coast
of Finmarken, and its range is. there
fore, so exceptionally great that the
possibility of reaching Franz Josef
Land appears to be small.
But the duke has started for the
Arctic, nevertheless, and may be trust
ed to bring up somewhere, even if he
does not reach the North Pole. He is
said to have an income of 100000 a
Gilpin observer., 1899-08-03

year. which he inherited from his
mother. There was rumor at one
time that he had made a fortune in
the Klondike. but that afterward was
denied. However, he is in comfort
able circumstances and has spent
money lavishly on his expedition. 1t
would be joke on the Northern ma
tlons which have for so many years
been searching for the Pole If an
Italian prince should succeed where
they have failed. Needless to say. the
Arctic experts do not have much faith
in the success of the Dukes trip. but
strange things happen in the Arctic.
The duke has fitted up his Stella
ly. There has been built on her a
deck house which contains the cabins,
saloon, officers mess, galley and mess
room for the crew. The fittings
throughout are plain. The walls and
ceilings are painted white. The Off
GERS cabins are small, the dukes DIFF
fering in no respect from the rest.
The seamen's quarters are comfort
able. consisting of two cabins below
deck. one for the Italian, the other
for the Norwegian portion of the crew.
The ship is provisioned for five years
and the outfit generally Is admirable.
This includes sixteen kaiaks, almost
similar in construction to those used
oy Nansen and Johansen on their
famous journey, but slightly improved,
fitted with rowlocks and provided with
oars instead of paddles. This is pos
sibly mistake, as the paddle is far

canoe besides being far stronger than

pear. Julian's experience there in
combating the slave-owning influence
was little different from that of Love-
joy in Illinois. except mat he was not
assassinated. His public meetings
were routed. buildings stormed in
which he was sheltered, and many
times his life placed in peril.
He was born near Centerville, Ind,

studied law, taught school and was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1910. He was 4
whig as a young man, and as such was
elected to the Indiana house of repre-
sentatives in 1S45. From the start Of
his legislative experience he was ros
in harmony with his party on the grea.
questions of the hour. For that mat
ter he was never a strenuous party
man. He accepted party organizations
SO long as they conformed with his
ideas of Justice and right. but no
longer. The whig party in Indiana in
1S45 was undergoing the same process
of dissolution that overlook 1t in Ohio
in 1898. The free soil party seemed
to be the coming organization for men
determined to prevent the extension OF
slavery. In 1S48 Mr.. Julian attached
himself to the cause of the free soilers.
He was quaker by birth, and slavery
was therefore especially repugnant to
him as an institution.
He found the free soil people not
well organized and in need of leader.
He took that position, and In reality
gave the party its first permanent form
through which 1t was enabled to as
sumo a national character He was n
prominent delegate to the Buffalo free
soil convention, and from 1S49 to 1851
served in congress as free soil repre-
sentative. His attitude then toward
the slave holding states was one or alb
solute resistance to slavery and no
compromise with its exponents.

placed in the field presidential ticket

George w. Julian died at his home

In New Zealand they take great care

vegetation. The calyx is deep, and the
nectar is placed at its base. The per.

the moth into the calyx, where it is
seized between two jaws that guard
the passage, and kept prisoner there
