CHINA AND JAPAN
AGREE ON RAILROAD

PEKIN, Aug. 1O.-Japan has made its
reply to the last Chinese communication
regarding the reconstruction of the An
tung-M ukden railroad, in which Pekin
agreed that the line be of standard gauge
and suggested the resumption of negotia-
tions on the other points at issue. Toxic
accepts these proposals and expresses the
desire that the negotiations be resumed
at Mukden, where they were broken on
by China. 1t is probable that this will
be done.
China is today taking a more favorable
view of the situation and the tension OF
the last few days is noticeably relaxed.
In view of the publication abroad of
sensational statements that japan has
undertaken extensive military operations
in the Chientao district, between Korea
and Manchuria, Baron IJuin, the Japanese
minister here today denied officially that
there were any Japanese troops in
Chientao.
The Japanese gendarmes there have
been increased by so or 60, he said, but
that was all. Japan had repeatedly as
sured China, the minister continued, that
the local differences in Chientao did not
affect the main question of the railroad
and that Japan would not bring this mat
ter into the negotiations.
The negotiations between China and
Japan on the general Manchurian ques-
tions that were to have been resumed
yesterday have been postponed.

DOCTORS LIKE GERMAN FIELD

slcians-Number One to Every

Stuttgart.-Germany Is literally
overrun with doctors. Drs. Reuss and
Rosner Of this city have compiled in.
teresting statistics concerning the
number Of physicians in the empire.
The population in 1885 was. In round
numbers. 100000. In 1907 II was
81 900. 000-an increase OF 30 per cent
In 1885 the number of physicians was
about $4,000. or one to every 1000
persons. In 1907 the number OF ply.
sicians had increased to 10000. or one
to every 1000 persons. The increase
In physicians in this period was. there
fore. proportionately more than three
times greater than the increase In
population.
In 1885. about 100000 persons in
Germany were insured against sick
ness. and paid 100000 marks for
medical attendance In 1907. more
than 100000 persons were insured
against sickness and they paid 3d..
100000 marks for medical attention.
Thus the average income of the Ger
man physicians decreased from 3,O66
marks year In 1885 to 2.100 marks a
year in 1907. Since 1885 the relatives
OF the insured have been supplied
with medical treatment In ever.in.
creasing numbers. The insured them.
selves are clamoring for more treat
ment.
The figures are taken to indicate
that not only are the Germans grow.
