By what schemes, promises, threats and bribes this concession was secnred by Bnssia will probably never be fnlly known. It marked the beginning of the struggle for railway ** conces- sions'' in the Far East. European chancelleries at once saw the true significance of the project, and promptly acted upon the hint. English, Ger- man, French and Belgian concessions were ener- getically urged upon the Chinese Government, and even an American concession entered the field. To follow the diplomatic in...tricacies involved in the introduction and urging of these various proj- ects, extremely interesting as it might be, is not necessary here. The Chinese Government, awak- ened by this time to a partial realization of the true import of some of the demands, exerted all the art of its devious diplomacy to retard and avert them. Under the circumstances, it had only one effective means of obstruction — ^to play the various powers against each other. This it did for a time with considerable success.
