deadlock in negotiations reached last
month.
Negotiations Began in 1888.
Officials hoped to conclude quickly
the long-drawn-out and tortuous ne
gotiations over the railway, which be-
gan in June of 1893. The Chinese
Eastern Railway originally was jointly
owned by Russia and China. and
when Manchukuo became a Japanese
protected empire, negotiations were
begun to purchase RuSsia's share.
Nothing was announced concerning
the approximately 80 Soviet employees
of the railway now languishing in
Manchukuo jails, arrested last August
for allegedly conspiring against Man
chukuan and Japanese off1cialdom.
Well-informed persons indicated they
would probably be released within q
short time and "deported" to Russia.
Japanese and Soviet authorities
alike predicted the agreement would
markedly improve Russo-Japanese re-
lations and dispel the ominous war
clouds lowering over the Manchu-Si-
berian border for the last three years.
