Washington, Jan. 24.-Virtual settlement of the Siberian question so far as the Washington arms conference is concerned was understood to have been reached at the meeting of the Far Eastern committee with the acceptance of the Japanese statement promising complete withdrawal from Russian territory on establishment there of a stable government.
Agreements on the Pacific Island fortifications' question, under which the Bonin Islands, adjacent to Japan are not to be fortified, also was reported to have been reached.
Shantung Settlement Near.
Washington, Jan. 24.-[By A. P.] -Disposal without extended discussion of the whole Siberian problem on the basis of the Japanese pledges regarding the purpose of that country in maintaining troops there, was generally predicted today when the arms conference far eastern committee met to hear the replies of the other powers to the Japanese delegation.
Baron Shidehara's statement of Japanese policy yesterday in which he disclaimed for his country any designs against the territorial integrity of Russia and declared its intention of withdrawing the Japanese soldiers in Siberia as soon as orderly conditions were restored apparently was received with satisfaction generally among the other delegations.
The Shantung controversy today had been reduced virtually to the single point of difference over the Tsingtao railroad by agreement between the Japanese and Chinese for China's purchase of the salt mines of the province. Although it was said further details outside of the railroad issue remained to be considered at today's meeting it was thought possible the latter question itself might come up for discussion.
