 A-lx, CHINA) lies between the Yellow Sea and 

 the Amur, and, lying just beyond tin 1 limit,-* of 

 China proper, borders on Core* and the Russian 

 mie Province. The first step in the Russian 

 iN-i-ujuition was the concession by China allowing 

 the deviation of the Siberian railway through 

 Northern Manchuria ; then the events connedi-.! 

 with the Russincation of Port Arthur (q'.v.) and 

 Tmlienwan. Finally it was arranged that the 

 SiU-rian railway should be connected with Kirin 

 and Mnkili-ii, with Peking on the one hand ami 

 Port Arthur on the other, ami that Cossack 

 inrriwins and settlements of Russians alonu the 

 Inn- xhoulil ] sanctioned. The area of Manchuria 

 isnaid to be 280,000 sq. m. ; total pop. 21,000,000. 

 The Chinese recognised three provinces Kirin in 



the centre, Feng-ti r Liao-Tiing in the south, 



and Hei-lung-chiang in the north. The eastern 

 and nioHt of the central parU are covereil with 

 tin* irregularly gn>u|>ed nin^es of the Long White 

 Maintains, which in the White Mountain iteelf 

 reach 8000 feet, whilst the northern province ia 

 eroesi il by the Chingan Mountains. The central 

 parts of the country are watered by the Sungari, 

 which risen in the crater-lake of the tong 

 White Mountains, and after a course of 850 

 mill-, joins the Amur in the north of Kirin
