SHANTUNG RAILWAY.
CHINA’S LATEST PROPOSAL. By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright. Washington, Jan. 6. China advanced somewhat on the previous offers to-day. She wants to purchase the Shantung railway for cash, but is willing to employ a Japanese traffic manager and other administrative officers over a period of years. The Chinese left the conference determined to ask for the mediation of Messrs. Hughes and Balfour if the Japanese refuse to accept at to-morrow’s meet-
It is believed the Japanese are anxious to have some supervision over the line, and may concede the financial arrangements if sure their nationals will be represented' on the staff, as in the case of the post offices. Received Jan. 8, 11.5 p.m. Washington, Jan. 6. The British spokesmen to-day indicated that Shantung governs the question relating to the return of leased territory in China, and if there is no agreement thereon the Powers are unlikely to abandon their leaseholds.
