News was received on Friday that the Duke of Abruzzi,

cousin of the King of Italy, had returned from his Arctic Expedition in the Stella Polare.' The vessel was for eleven months held fast in the ice, and the explorers suffered con- siderable privations. They lived for a hundred days on dog's flesh. Two men died, and the Duke of Abruzzi had two fingers frostbitten. The expedition, however, succeeded in getting further north than even Nansen. They reached a point in latitude 86 degrees 33 min. N., thus penetrating further north than Nansen, who reached 86 degrees 14 min. N. The scientific results of the voyage are said to be satisfactory.
