Peking, Aug. 15
Mr. Lenox Simpson has returned from Mukden, where he went to investigate the questions of the Peking-Mukden Ttailway and the Manchurian salt revenues.
He stated that after a great deal of discussion General Chang Tso-lin consented to restore the rolling stock and allow resumption of ordinary traffic, on one condition, which he communicated to the President this morning and which will be available for publication as soon as the matter has been considered by the Government.
Regarding the salt question Mr. Simpson said that the position is more complicated, General Chang's position being that inasmuch as the other provinces are retaining their salt collections and Fengtien has remitted $4,800,000 to the Government this year, it will require a special salt conference at Peking of all the provinces to secure a gemer-al resumption of payments.—Reuter.
