japanese Delegation Ac-
cepts Proposal Subject to
Approval of Toxic.
CONSORTIUM TO OPERATE
Settlement Of Shantung Ques-
tion Brought Near by Days
Negotiations.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Is (Associated
Press).-Subject to Tokio's approval
the Japanese delegation accepted the
Chinese offer to pay 100000 gold
German marks for the Kiachou Tsn-
anfu railroad in Shantung, plus what
Japan has made in permanent i'm
provements but less deterioration.
When the conversations between
the two delegations were renewed this
afternoon the Chinese offered to buy
the railroad outright in cash, but the
Japanese, it was said. raised questions
as to why this course was proposed
pointing that all other railroads In
China had been built with the aid of
foreign loans.
The Chinese delegates replied that
the Chinese consortum was ready to
finance the restoration Of the railroad
and China's desire was to make use
of this to do away with foreign con-
troll"
Mr.. Hanihara of the japanese delega-
ton said after the meeting that satis-
factory progress had been made toward
settlement Of the Shantung question,
but would give no details.
From the Chinese however. il was
learned that after the provisional accep-
tsnce Of the Chinese financial offer for
complete Chiresc control over the rail-
road, the discussion centred on the mode
OF payment. No decision was reached
and the discussion will be continued to-
morrow
The amount agreed upon virtually is
the valuation placed ON the road, exciu-
sive of the adjacent mines by the Repar-
atione Commission set up under the
Treaty of Versaillese, and which Japan
Is TO pay Germany
The question of coal mines and GER
tain iron ore fields involved In the dis
puted railroad remains TO be settled, but
according to the Chinese, probably will
not be reached until, the method of pay
ment OF the road proper is agreed upon.
The following statement was issued by
the Chinese and Japanese delegations
after the meeting:
Further progress was made In the
thirteenth meeting of the Chinese and
Japanese delegates relative to the
question OF Shantung in their discus
sion about the Tsingtao-Tsinanfu
Railway. The meeting was adjourned
at p. NJ. until 2 80 tomorrow after
noon.

Purchase Price Might Be Big
Loan of 80 or 30 Years.

TOXIC, Dec. Is (Associated Press) -
Japan has consented to the purchase by
China of the Kiao-C Chow -Tsinanfu Rail-
road in Shantung. Instructions with re-
gard to this were sent to the Japanese
delegates in Washington several days
ago, according to competent authority
and contamination of the sale depends
on an agreement as to method and also
to some extent on China's attitude on
other pending problems.
The Government is considering several
plans under which the transfer Of the
railroad can be made. In any case, It Is
said, Japan anticipates retaining a CO.
operative interest in the railway, while
transferring the title to China. II has
been suggested that the purchase likely
would embrace the form OF a loan pay
able over a period of from thirty to
forty years.
