Several matters are protracting the Washington Conference the ME: Lloyd George to Confer with New French. Premier. end of which is not so clearly in sight as it seamed a week ago. The Shantung question is not yet finally settled, but it is reported that
Mr. Lloyd George and Sir Babart Horne are homeward bound, the Sino-Japanese Delegations bere telegraphed homeward the They depart for Paris to-wight to confer with the probabla new compromise proposals emanating from Mr. Hughes and Mr. Balfour French Premier. under which China will accept à loan from Japan for the purchase of the railway, instal a Japanese engineer and accountant and appoint a Chinese traffic manager. Meanwhile. White House has inade it known that a settlement of this question is regarded as one of the most essential features of the conference.
An interesting development of the general Chinese question is that the American delegation has requested the Chinese to submit a list of the Treaties between Chian and the Powers in which it is considered that China's sovereign rights in matters of trade are in fringed. Mr. Hughes in noise intends to force the consideration of such tranties at the Conference but it is believed that China's claim in this respect might be met by the Conference adopting a broad principle, cutting aeroes such infringement The Chinese bare so far furnished a list of fifteen instruments in which they find a matter for complaint. The number may later be increased.

Question of Carrier's Liability.
London, January 13.
