WHAT THE POWERS WILL DEMAND.
FOREIGN CAPTIVES' CLAIMS.
PEKING, July 17.
The Diplomatic Corps Committee has concluded, its investigation into the Lincheng outrage. It is understood that it has decided to demand 8,500 silver dollars for each foreign captive; besides personal losses, also the dismissal of the Tuchun of Shantung and the lesser. officials, and the organisation of railway guards under foreign officers.
[About 1,900 bandits derailed the express train from Pukow to Tientsia at Lincheng, Shantung, and carried off 300 passengers, in- cluding some foreigners. One foreigner was killed and two Chinese seriously wounded. Twenty-three Chinese and six foreigners escaped. All the captives were eventually released after the bandits had been promised their terms.]

The fact that God loves man shows us that in the. divine order of ideal things it is written that Eternal love is to be given to, what is eternally un worthy. Or, if that phrase seere to be a bitter one to bear, let us say that every one is worthy of love, except he who thinks that he is.
