Neither could she hinder the English, incensed at the action of the Germans, from obtaining, in April, 1898, a lease of the harbor and bay of Wei- hai-Wei, evacuated by the Japanese. It thus happens that in the Pechili Gulf, from which Pekin receives the greater part of its supplies, three European powers occupy places very near one another; the Russians at Port Arthur and Talien-Wan, the Germans at Kiao-chow, and the English at Wei-hai-Wei. The Pechili Gulf has become another Mediterranean, on... whose shores rival Asiatic interests continue the rivalries of Europe. The position of Russia is much the strongest. She commands Pekin, not merely by sea, but by all the overland highways. She alone of the three rival powers in the Pechili Gulf possesses a vast continental base of operations. She fronts China along a boundary line several thousand miles in length; she embraces and pentrates China; and she alone by her railroads, the Trans-Siberian, 112 CHINA the Trans-Manchurian, and the Trans-Chinese, will be able to pour into the very center of China and into its capital a great European army.
