AN IMPOSING CEREMONY.
\ Nepalese Tribute Mission in Peking-

Presents Tor the Emperor.
The reception in the Chinese capital
of the decennial tribute mission from
Nepal to the emperor of China is de-
scribed in the latest paper from the far
east. The mission consisted of SO
members, with a following of over'2 20
Nepalese traders, who seem to have
taken their wares to Pelling for sale.
The whole arrived about the middle of
September, bearing presents Of ele-
plants tusks, gold dust, woolens and
brocaded cloths as well as a letter from
the king of the Gurkhas, Us the ruler of
Nepal is officially styled in China. There
were two ENJOYS, one of whom died in
Peking and was cremated with Gurl1ha
rites. Special officials from the Mongo-
lian superintendency took the visitors
about to the sights Of the capital. The
return presents from the emperor were
placed in the Southern Lake palace,
outside the west gate of Peking, and the
occasion of the visit to this place to re-
cenve them was one of great ceremony.
The surviving envoy was conveyed
there in a green sedan chair and the
other Nepaleso On horseback or in mu->
carts, the start being made from the
Tribute envCr's hall, where the whole
party was lodged at the expense of the
Chinese government from the moment
of their arrival. The trading members

while the official members we're con-
veycd to the great hall of the palace,
where they prostrGtcd themselves be
fore the eunuch commissioned to read
the imperial edict authorizing the
Nepalese to return to their own land.
The presents consisted of 1000 taels of
silver (about G160), four complete
suits of fur, robes of wadded cotton and
gauZe for each member OF the missis,
besides silk pongees and ~auzc Pekirg
curios, and the like, accordin" to the
ranks of the recipients. These presents
we're ultimately conveyed to the resi-
dence of the mission in special carts
and the members We're taken to an
other part of the palace, about GUAR
ter of a mile from the place where the
emperor was supposed to r. seated-fcr
he was quite invisible-7nd there they
went through the regulation three nrcs-
trations and nine kowtows in recogni-
ton of the imperial bounty. In fact,
only the chief envoy ever saw the EN-
peror and this was on his arrival, when
he presented the lettc- from h:s own
sovereign avowing allegiarce to China.
When the ceremony of giving presents
was over the mission was informed
that it could begin its return journey

for so large party could be prepared

he administers this rebuke to the gold
Democrats:
The vote for the Palmer and Buckner
ticket last year affords little ground for
present hopefulness. for it was less than

eclN, large numbers of Democrats in
all the three states voted directly for

The right of the church authorities

the rules of the church do not in any

his political action.
The man or woman who subscribes to
the Mormon church doctrine or the doe

down for his or her ecclesias-
teal government, or else get cut

tain restrictions placed upon all
churches, however, in this and all other
states, and one Of them is that no
church shall make a rule for the regu-
lation of its members which can in any
way interfere with mans full duty

POE IN THE WEST.

The Shakespeare society of New
York has recently been occupied in a
successful attempt to preserve the Poe
cottage in Fordham from destruction,
and the result will be a public park
whereon the historic old house will be
removed. Most people in these noun
tains who never before heard of the
Shakespeare society of New York will
uncover if any member should pass
through Salt Lake, for Edgar Allan
Poe has a warm spot in the literary
heart of the west.
There is not a line of Poe that
sounds like Bret Harte or Joaquin Mil
-er; there is not verse Of the Call
fornia poets that reminds one of THE

poets has been made to follow the ar
rangement of verse and meter of the

Election on the beauty of thought and
the originality of sentiment in others

ments in the jangle of the Bells" or
the spectral finish of 1.-The Raven. 8
There is no patent on literary style,
and the poets of today place their e.
forts in the meter of The Deserted
Village" as much as any other ar
rangement of verse. but it's strange
that none of them follow Poe's style.
Yet Poe and his style is beloved IN
the west.
1t must be because a western man is
full of sympathy, and Poe was man
who lived and died without it. l. must
be because a western man is broad
guaged and tolerant, and poor Poe was
ever the victim of spite and intoler-
ance 1t may be because we resent the
tales of his enemies that Poe was
drunk when he wrote the haven
So far from caring anything about
such charge, western man would
