JAPAN WILL BE FIRM.
Terms Of the Original Treaty with

Shanghai. April 27.-It is reported here
that high official in the North is au-
thority for the statement that England
will support japan. who will refuse to
listen to the remonstrances of the other
powers regarding the terms of the treaty
of peace with China, which gives the Jap
anese possession Of Chinese territory.

Shanghai dispatch of this morning, ~
which high official i'll the North IS sad
to be the authority for statement thai

to show that Great Britain does not favor
the annexation by Japan OF the Lao

Earlier Reports of Negotiations.
London, April 26.-Dlrect and positive
information from official sources is at
hand concerning the exact negotiations
between Russia, France and Germany Oh
the one hand and Japan on the other
Tie Russian, French and German min
listers Separately interviewed the Japa-
nese vce-minister for foreign affairs,
under instructions from their respective
governments, and presented memoranu;s
in which it was said the governments OF
Russia, France and Germany. upon eX-
aiming the terms OF peace imposed by
japan upon China, have found the pos
session of the Peninsula of Lao lung,
claimed by Japan, would be constant
menace to the capital of China and at the
same time would threaten the lndepenG-
ence of Corea and render it non-eifectlve
in fact. In this sense and for other rea-
sons it would be. it is said, constant
menace to the permanent peace OF the
far East. Consequently the govern
ments of France, Russia and Germany,
desiring to show their sincere friendship
for the government of Japan, advise 1t
to renounce the absolute and hnal pos
session of the Peninsula of Lao Tung.
The memoranda of the three govern
ments make it plain they we"s presented
in the way of friendly advice to the Jap
anese government, and are not intended
in any way to convey any open or covert
menace. The impression is gaining
ground Japan can rely upon the friendly
counsel of the United States. AT the
present moment the governments OF
Great Britain and Italy have made
it plain they do not intend to follow the
example of Russia, France and Germany
and the great commercial interests OF the
United States in the far East, w.,:ch the
Japanese-Chinese treaty of peace would
largely benefit. no less than the constant
attitude Of the United State toward
Japan, leads diplomats to believe, the
United States at this juncture will not
fail to make such a use of it's good Of
fees as will prevent Japan from being
deprived of the fruits of her victory.

did? Second, was the disaffected mem
bers justified in their withdrawal and in
holding separate meetings? Third, was
the Rev. Mr.. Happel justified in preach
ing to the separate congregation? What
