mense Task.

testimony taken In the Chinese boycott
cas- amounts to. In the ordinary

taken in the boycott case, the verbatim
reports having been typewriter. would
be read over to Judge Knowles by the
attorneys in the case, which would
probably consume several weeks of the
present term.
a proposition was made yesterday,
which was agreed to by all the parties
in the case. 1t was that the testimony
shall not be read to Judge Knowles, but
that Henry n. Blake. the examiner, shall
himself review the testimony and mere
ly present the findings OF fact to the
court. Judge Knowles remarked that
ne had no overweening desire to hear
the testimony read, n so he approved
the following stipulation which was en-
tered into by the attorneys on either
side:
