PEKIN. March S.-The Italian minis
ter here regards as an insult the man.
Ter in which Tsung Ii Yamen, or Chi
nese foreign office has treated Italy's
demand for q coalins station at San
Nun bay, and rupture OF diplomatic
relations between Italy and China Is
probable.
1t Is believed Russia has reiterated
her protest against the British railroad
loan In order to make the contract
ground for complaint against the Chi
nese and thus seek compensation, ter
ritorial or otherwise.
Sir Claude NJ. Mcdonald. the British
minister, has informed the officials OF
the Chinese foreign office that any at
tempt TO repudiate the railroad con-
tract will be regarded as 4 breach Of
faith meritinE retributlve measures. At
the same time the minister recalled
Lord Salisburg's assurances of support
for China IL another power attempted to
fo.cc her to repudiate the contract.
ROME, March S.-The Tribunn says
1t learns that the Chinese government
has offered TO send to the italian minis
ter. Signor Martino. 4 written apology

minister at Pekin, for the terms in
which the Tsung Ii Yamen couched
China's refusal to grant the concession
recently demanded by Italy OF San Nun
bay, province Of Che Kiang, to be used
as an Italian naval base and coaling
station.
LONDON, March S.-The PekIn cor

UeIOTe, even Wnen ne was at MS DeSC.
with his most dramatic delivery.
"What am going to propose now is
something which ought not to appear
unusual or at all impossible Of execu-
ton, yet am aware that it will be so
regarded by large number perhaps of
the members of the church. But, in
order that we may have thorough
understanding of what we are consid-
ering, will put my proposition very
plainly, perhaps bluntly. want volun-
teers from the First church who will
pledge themselves earnestly and honest
" for an entire year not to do anything
without first asking the question,
What would Jesus do? And after ask
ing that question each one will follow
Jesus as exactly as he knows how, no
matter what the results may be- I will,
of course, include myself in this COM
pany of volunteers and shall take for
granted that my church here will not
be surprised at my future conduct as
based upon this standard of action and
will not oppose whatever is done if they
think Christ would do it. Have I made
my meaning clear? At the close of the
service here want all those members
Of the church who are willing to join
such company to remain, and we
will talk over the details of the plan.
Our motto will be, What would Jesus
dor Our aim will be to act just as he
would if he were in our places, regard
less of Immediate results In other
words, we propose to follow Jesus steps
as closely and as literally as we believe
