Holt and Company and informed his Wor- ship that he had been instructed to ask for the case io be dealt with summarily. Although" he asked for the case to be dealt with in that manner, he would sak bia Worship to deal with the defend- ant as severely as lay in his power, not on account of the gravity of the offence, but on account of the foot that, the defendant held a position of trust. It was his duly sa quartermaster of the ship to guard cargo and to prevent theft.

Peking, Received May 7. It has been decided that the crown to be worn by the President at the sacrifices to Heaven and Confucias will be similar to those worn by the Emperors Yao and Shun:

[A correspondent of the N. C. Daily News writing from Peking last week stated:-With the exception of the diadem to be worn by President Yuan on the occasion of the worship of Heaven, everything has been settled. It is believed that the diadem will be similar to that of former Emperors: but without the numerous strings of beads over the forehead. A jade belt will be worn by the President

in worshipping both Heaven and Confucius. The garment and shoes will be made in semi-modern styles to suit present circumstances,]'
