JAPANESE CAPITAL INVESTED IN CHINA.

A well-known journalist Mr. Ishikawa Yosu- jito, formerly editor of the Muinichí Shimbru, has just roturned to Tokyo from a visit to China, where he collected some interesting information. The Keisat Zanki quotes him as saying that in order to be as well furnished as Japan, propor. tionately, with means of communication China must have 60,000 miles of milway, or about ten times the mileage now in operation in Japan, whereas she has only 3,000.
