plan for raising the Assuan dam
across the Nile, a change that will in

built temples near that of Isis. so that

THANKS
HIS RICHNESS EXPRESSES APP
PROBATION OF THE RECEPTION
GIVEN HIM HERE.

His Imperial Highness, Prince Flu
shimi, today expressed through the
Japanese Consul General Mkt Saito,
the deepest appreciation and pleasure
which he felt at the reception accorded
him during his stay in Honolulu. He
also wished to thank not only his own
countrymen, but the citizens Of the
Territory for the good viii shown him.
His Highness was much delighted
with the parade in his honor last
night" said Consul Saito. "He has
also mentioned the thoughtfulnes of
the county officials in placing special
officers near him to look after his
safety. / shall probably be requested
to formally extend his thanks to the
proper authorities"
There was no formal arrangement
for entertaining the Prince today, and
he will leave at o'clock as previously
announced, on the British cruiser Mon
mouth, for Japan.
The Prince and his staff and a num-
Der of the Consular officers visited the
Bishop Museum at 10 o'clock this
morning, remaining there for more
than an hour, after which the party
returned to the Young Hotel, where an
informal reception was held until near
ly l o'clock. During this time most of
the representatives of foreign govern
ments paid their respects to the I'M
perial prince of Japan as well as many
of the prominent Japanese residents of
Honolulu, and most prominent Ameri-
cans.
At 1 o'clock the Prince had tiffin at
the hotel with his staff and members
of the local diplomatic service.
There is nothing set for this after
noon, and it is expected that the Prince
and his party will board the Monmouth
shortly after o'clock. The local jap
anese have made arrangements for an
elaborate display of daylight fireworks
from sampans in the harbor as the
cruiser bearing the Royal party pulls
out.
