Reading edition
It is unnecessary to recount the painful negotiations in 1898–9 concerning the Tien-tsin-Ching-kiang railway concession, in which the German claim in Shan-tung was strongly presented, and had to be recognized to a large extent by the British Government. See China, No. 1 (1900), pp. 14, 16, 17–18, 33, 118, 121, 175, 180.
