DUKE CYRIL COMING
BROTHER OF PRINCE BORIS TO
VISIT JAPAN.
Was To Have Reached Yokohama July
2S From ivostock-Politlcal Sig
nificance Attached To the Visit.

The Russian Bear is wOoing the Lit
tie Brown Men. He does his wooing
by proxy, in the shape of Grand Dukes.
Grand Duke Boris Vladimir, the cousin
Of the present Car. was the first wOoer
and now Russia proposes to send still
another representative in the person of
the Grand Duke Cyril, an elder brother
Of Prince Boris.
Advices from Japan, via the America
Maru yesterday, announce the news Of
the Grand DuKe Cyrils pending visit.
According TO the latest news, the Rus
sian Legation at Yokohama received a
siisDatch from the captain of the kus-
a-an warship Lurick, announcing that
the vessel having on board Grand Duke
Cyril, would leave Vladivostock July
"a, and go via Ha6odate, and arrive at
Yokohama July Is.
The advent of the Russian prince
will, no doubt, be made the occasion
for an even greater demonstration than
was shown Grand Duke Boris on the
occasion of his recent to Japan, as
Prince Cyril will make far more pre-
tentious entrance than did his younger
brother. Boris arrived on the battle
ship Sevastopol, while the warship Lu-
rick on which is Prince Cyril, will be
accompanied by the battleships Admi-
tai Nahimoff and Sevastopol and two
cruisers.
The particular occasion for the visit
of the Grand Duke Cyril is causing con-
siderable speculation in Japanese cir
cles, and indeed, diplomatic notice of
the Dukes visit has also been taken by
representatives OF other countries.
Grand Duke Boris paid an official visit
to Japan, and few weeks later his
elder brother is to do likewise 1t is
believed in Japan, and by foreign dip
lomats as well, according to the advices
brought by the Maru, that these visits
have political significance, and are but
the prelude to oYertures from Russia
to Jauan for the establishment of more
friendly relations. In fact it would not
be surprising If they were the fore
runner of an attempt to dissolve the
Anglo-Japanese treaty which was con-
summated recently.
Whatever the significance of the
Prince Cyrils visit may be, his pres
ence will certainly be hailed with de-
light by the Japanese merchants, if he
is anything like his brother the Grand
Duke Boris. The latter was certainly
Il spender. According to reports from
| Toxic, he spent no less than 10000 yen
in purchasing curios and souvenirs OF
his stay in that city alone.
1t is not known whether the Grand
Duke Cyril will visit the United States
or not

IROQUOIS SAILS soon

Coast Will be Reached.

The u. S. S. IrOquois, Captain Rod
man, will start tomorrow morning about
1880 o'clock on the cruise about the ISL
ands. 1t is expected that the vessel will
be gone about five to six weeks. From
Honolulu, Captain Rodman will steer
TO the southern coast of MOlOkai and
there take note of the sailing conditions
of that section of MOlokai From Off
Molokai, the Iroquois will go to Lanai
and probably get into Lahaina Tuesday
night.
The southern portion of the Maui
coast will be visited and target prac-
tice will be conducted off MOlOkai. At
ter this portion of the cruise shall have
been completed, the Iroquois will go
around the westerly coast of Hawaii
along the Kau coast and up to Htlo, and
thence along the northeast coast, pass
the northern coasts of Maui and Molo-
kai, finally winding upp off Oahu. This
island will be cruised about, after which
the cruise will be extended to take in
Kauai and Niihau.
Invitation is extended by Captain
Rodman to all pilots and others ac-
quainted with the various ports where
the Iroquois will stop, to visit the vessel
and acquaint the commander with any
information they may have of the cur
rents winds and other details which
would be of value in the preparation OF
sailing directions for the Hawaiian ISL

Vessel Did Not Have To Produce
Original Crew List

The fine OF 500 which was assessed
some time ago by the Collector against
the barkentine Kailua for not having
the original crew list has ben remit
ted, as it was shown by Hind, ROlph
& Company the local agents of the
vessel, that such a list was not neces-
sary.
The vessel arrived here from New
castle with coal ana went to Makaweli
and discharged, afterwards g,tung "A

was claimed by the customs people
that the vessel should have her original
! crew list for filing, as she had come on
this voyage from Port Townsend, or
one of the other Puget Sound ports be-
fore reaching Newcastle.
The stand was taken that while the
vessel had anchored off that American
port she had not entered, nor had she
cleared originally from that place. She
had come from a British Columbia port
and was not therefore, required to show
her original crew list. The fine was
paid under protest and the matter ap-
pealed. The appeal was sustained and
the fine ordered returned.

X-RAYS AND LEPROSY
MOST HOPEFUL TREATMENT OF
MODERN TIMES.
DR.. Herbert Talks-Citizen Makes Gen
erous Offer-Treatment Likely To BE
Thoroughly Tested.

Plans are maturing for the introduc-
tion of the X-ray treatment of leprosy
under the most approved conditions.
DIR. George Herbert, who first suggested
to the Board of Health the adoption of
the apparatus as a means of at least
experimenting with the rays in cOnnec-
tion with the territorial lepers, has
gone closely into the matter and while
he does not pretend to be an expert
upon the subject states that the &-ray
treatment is one of the most hopeful
treatments of modern times, the splen-
did results already obtained fully justi-
flying such endorsement.
MANY of the difficulties, fancied and
real that exist in connection with the
ray treatment have now been eliminat-
ed" says DR.. Herbert. "Many of these
were purely mechanical and disappear
ed as the apparatus was improved and
the theory developed. Some of them
were therapeutical and they too have
been done away with. The burning
which sometimes has occurred and is so
often feared, is merely a mechanical
fault and can be entirely Obviated by
a skillful operator
CAN the light treatments, x-ray, vio-
let ray and the others have been adopt
ed by scientist physicians in all coun-
tries and the results have opened up a
new and hopeful era for suffering hu-
manity. 1t has been found that the
rays benefit not merely tissue deadened
by germs but all morbid tissues, what
ever the cause of their state"
DR. Herbert states that a citizen of
this territory has offered and is now
prepared to send his son to New York
and the east with the special idea of
studying the latest developments and
theories of the light curing" method
studying both from a mechanical and
therapeutical standpoint, so that he
will return thoroughly conversant with
the most approved methods particularly
as applied to scabrous diseases. An APP
peal will then be made to the Board of
Health to provide the necessary appa-
ratus at the public cost and, with a
skilled operator on the field, it is be-
lieved that the theory will be given am
pie opportunity to relieve the afflicted
wards of the territory.

THE SEWARD COMING
TRANSPORT FROM SEATTLE TO

Is To BE. Run as a Refrigerator Ship
Between Philippine Islands-Was In
the Alaska Trade.

SEATTLE, Wash, July 22.-Maj.
Bingham has begun the work of put
ting the transport Seward into COM
mission, and expects to have her ready
for her trial trip about the first of next
month. Built originally for the Alaska
run, the Seward is now to be sent to
the tropics, running as a refrigera tor
ship out of Manila. Her interior has
been entirely remodeled.
The Seward has been at Moran
Brothers ship yard for the past two
months, and fully $4,000 has been spent
in refitting her The ship has been
equipped with a modern Tefrigerating
plant, and will be used to convey cold
storage supplies from the big refrigera-
tor depot at Manila among the islands
of the archipelago.
The bottom of the Seward has been
coppered and awnings have been
stretched over all the decks, making
her ready for the trip to the tropics.
Maj. Bingham has had installed a
number of air tunnels, in addition to
those put on the vessel when built.
Every available inch of space on the
Seward will be filled with coal when
she sails from Seattle August 10 for
Manila. The transport is to take the
longer route, by way of Honolulu. AS
her coal carrying capacity is not very
great, the vessel having been built for
much shorter run, fuel will be stored
in her hold and even in the refrigera-
tor boxes, to carry her through. 1t is
expected that she will make part of
the voyage under sail, in order to save
fuel.
Maj. Bingham will give the ship a
thorough inspection when she makes
her trial trip, and satisfy himself that

been well done. Capt j. c. Downey,
who was in command when the vessel
made her first trip, under the name of

long voyage from Seattle. All the crew
have been signed except a ships car
penter, and the men are hard at work
scrubbing and cleaning up, prepara-
tory to the trial trip.
