RAILWAY QUESTIONS. (Received August 17. 11.40 p.m.) WASHINGTON, August 17. The Russian and Japanese peace plenipotentiaries have agreed to Russia’s retention of the railway connecting the trans-Siberian line with Vladivostock. Considerable discussion took place at yesterday’s sitting regarding the Chinese Eastern Railway, which the Japanese throughout have resolved to transfer to China when reimbursed for the expenses they have been put to in repairs and in altering tho gauge after tlie Russians were driven off, to suit tho Japanese rolling stock. M. de Witte contended that the railway was the private property of the Russo-Chinese Bank, There are indications that Russia is willing to compensate the bank if that should be necessary owing to the cession of the line.
