The Chinese Question: views of the stations acquired by Great Britain and Russia, 1898. 'From Sketches by Mr. J. S. Edwards. 1. Talien-Wan, leased to Russia. 2. Port Arthur, leased, with Talien-Wan, to Russia. 3. Eastern Entrance to Wei-Hai-Wei, leased, with the Islands at the Mouth of its Harbour, to Great Britain, H.M.S. "Centurion" entering: Dockyard and Town behind the Breakwater Fort. The Chinese diplomatic contest has somewhat subsided, save for the denunciations by the Russian Press of Great Britain's lease of Wei-Hai-Wei; but the concessions to France are not yet precisely known. The port of Wu-Sung, near Shanghai, is to be opened as a treaty port free to all nations. There are sixteen British war-ships at Chefoo, and ten Japanese at Wei-Hai-Wei, the station now to be formally occupied by Great Britain. Japan is in treaty with China for the concession of a port to balance the recent acquisitions of Russia, Germany, and Great Britain. A disturbance between Russians and Chinese is reported from the neighbourhood of Talien-Wan'. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
