AN ITALIAN, Duke of Abruzei Making Prepara- "tions--He is Confident That He Will Reach. the Top of Mount Ruwenszori. ! THE DUKE OF THE APRU Rome April 5 The Dike of "the "Abruzzi has almost completed his ar- rangemedts for his attanpt to make the ascent of Mount Ruwen- zori, in Equatorial Africa. In view of the experiences of Douglas Freshfield and "other explorers, the duke consid ers that the time he has selected js the most propitious season for the at tempt. Ruwenzori which has an alti tude of about 17,000, is between the Lakes Albert 'Nyanza and Albert Ed ward Nyanza and is identified by Stanley as one of the Mountains of the Moon" the range where Ptolemy, the Greek geographer of thei second next July century, believed was the source of the Nile. . The duke and the Italians who will accompany him will probably land at ! Mombasa, and will travel by train to | Port Florence on Lake Victoria, where the expedition will embark and cross the lake in order to reach the west shores. It is here that the real' ex-* pedition will be rganized. Besides the Italians it will consists of about 100 natives, to be employed in transport- ing the baggage of the expedition. Leaving Lake Victoria, the expedi- tion will cross that part of Uganda which lies between the lake and the outlying spurs of Ruwenzori. This is expected to take fifteen days. As this region is under the British protector ate it is not expectod that the ex pedition will meet with any difficul- ties. He will take with him 5 num: bor of the newest scientific instru- ments which have been tested in the meteorological observatory "here. The duke is confident that he will succeed in hie attempt, unless heavy rains or mists should interfere It is stated that only one man, a German member of the Alpine Club, has ever succeeded in reaching the top of Ruwenzori.

The lake steamer Neepewah, of the Montreal and Lake Superior transport- ation line, may fairly be said to have opened navigation into Kingston, hy arriving in port from Toronto, at three o'clock this afternoon. From the time she left the Queen City, to her arrival at the dry dock pier, just fi ten hours had elapsed. Capt. Oliver Fatencaude, stepping on the wharf, re- ceived many warm eroctings. He said the lake is entirely free from none being encountered until Nine Mile Point was reached. Frem there to the wharf the ice is pretty tough. The Neepewah will enter the govern ment dry dock, as soon as the steam- | er Caspian is able to be let ont. She will undergo geniral repairs. NEEPEWAH ARRIVES. Fairly A Robber Act. | Toronto News v I Mr. Pratt, of South Norfolk, has a bill before the legislature to regulate the manufacture and sale of proprie tary and patent medicines. The first clause makes it necessary to publish the formula of any such medicine on the outside wrapper of the package I his partakes more of the character lof confiscation than regulation. If | the provrietor of a patent medicine were obliged to disclose its nature to 1 pukhe it would cease to be pri I vate property, and cease to have value to the manufacturer. We doubt { if there i v serious demand for . and we are certain such le that great injustice would result from its "adoption. On the other hand, there are medicines' on the market which should be prohibited as injur ious alike to the public health and the public morals. It has been suggested, and we think wisely, that a hoard of expert , analysts ould be appointed by the {de gpl government, who should analyze all"medicines of a proprietary. character and sanction the sale only 1 of such as are safe and beneficial. This would affedh ample protection to the public, & "no injustice to the pro rietors of useful articles, and avert confiscation of the vast sums of money which: the proprietors have devoted to the establishment "and extension of this business, Orders Power Cut Of.
