Hew Emperor Offers the First Crop of
the First Harvest of Riee to the
Imperial Ancestors, Gods
and Goddesses.
Kioto. Nov. 12. The Daijosai Fes
tival, or Grand Thanksgiving Festival,
the ceremony of offering sacred rice to
the imperial ancestors and the gods
and goddesses of beaten and earth,
began today at the imperial palace.
This ceremony is one oifthe three great
rites of the coronation and is of very
ancient origin.
When Ninigino-mikoto, the grand
son of the Sun Goddess, Amaterasu
Omikaml, founder of the Japanese im
perial dynasty, descended "from the
heavenly domain, as it is traditionally
told, to Mount Takachiho, in Kyushu,
and established imperial handojuarters
there, he sowed the seeds of rice plants
and presented the first crop to the Sun
Goddess before himself tasting the
food. This was the very 'beginning
of the Daijosai festival.
Rice constitutes the most important
daily food of the Japanese people, and
the land was, in the mythological pe
riod, called the Land of Sacred Rice.
Since that time the ceremony is ob
served as an essential function by
every ruler who succeeds to the throne.
The rite was ordained by an imperial
edict issued by Emperor Mutsuhito in
it 71, three years after his late .Ma
jesty's succession.
The central idea is that the new Em
peror,' invested with the suzerainty of
the Land of the "Sacred Rice, offers, to
the imperial ancestors and the gods
and goddesses of heaven and earth the
first crop of the first harvest in his
reign. It is, therefore, observed as a
etate ceremony and not as a court
ceremony. '
Related Jto It is a ceremony of minor
importance, which is annually held in
the imperial court ori November 23
and simultaneously at the grand
ehrines at Ise. It is called the harvest
festival. As the rice on which sixty
millions of the subjects of ' the im
perial house sustain their lives had
been granted by the imperial ancestor,
as related above, fevery sovereign of
the land expresses his thanks for the
benevolence of the imperial ancestor
in behalf of his millions of subjects.

According to te Herald's story,
George W. Connor, of Wilson, and N.
J. Rouse, of K-lnston, will oppose Mr.

San rrancico, Nov. 12.-Dr. John E.
Gardner, Chinese inspector ' and inter
preter at this port for thirty-two
years, whose resignation yesterday wa3
offered and accepted at Washington,
charged today that the influence of
Wong Doo i-in?, a powerful Chinese
recently deported, cost him his posi
tion. JJr. Gardner resigned rather
than accept transfer to Gloucester, N.

post. '
"The boast was made by Chinese a
year ago that I would be demoted or
transferred for- my work in the Wong
Doo King case," Dr. Gardner said' to
day. "Six weeks ago. a Chinese told
me I could avoid demotion by lending
money to the wife of an immigration
official." , .
When t)r. Gardner's transfer .was
ordered, a telegram asking its revo
cation was sent to Washington, signed
by brads of various departments here
and .by-i'ae,ral judges, he said.
Wbrtg Dob ' King, a leader among

head of the Un$ Kong Tong, fought
deportation for years. His power was
said to match that of the, great Chin
