Let him receive the State grant usually awarded to a Vice-President of a Board and let any faults recorded against him be wiped off from the State records. Let the proper Board, moreover, report the amount of grant that should be given to the deceased.
DEATH OF A LITERARY CHANCELLOR aT MIs vast.
Fa Yun, Governor of Shantung, states that he has received despatches from the Prefect and District Mngistrate of Yén-chow fu to the effect that while attending to the duties of his post examining the licentiate candidates of Yénchowfu, Ts'in Shu-tsien, Literary Chancellor of Shantung, was suddenly taken away on the 19th of June. As the candidates belonging to the prefecture of Tsinan, Tésian, Wut'ing, Ichow, Téngchow and Laichow have still to be examined, it is important that His Majesty should speedily appoint a ssu cessor to the late Ts'in Shu-tstiien, in order that there may be no hitch, so far as would-be licentiates are concerned, when the provincial examinations appointed by special Act of Grace, take ace at Tsinanfu in the autumn.—Reseript:
Hua Chin-shou proceed forthwith to Shantung as Literary Chancellor.
