According to reliable sources, the Korean population now amounts to over 200,000 which is more than the Chinese population itself.

For these reasons our school contains girls from many places since Christian girls are few.... In Kiukiang only one Christian family have their girls at this school.

As a result, two agreements were concluded in 1909 one respecting the boundary question, the Tumen Kiang Agreement, and the other respecting railways and mines whereby Japan obtained many new and valuable privileges and concessions, such as the extension of the Kirin-Changchun Railway to the Korean frontier, the option on the Hsinminfu-Fakumen line, and the working of the Fushun and Yentai mines, while in return China obtained a bare recognition of existing rights, namely the boundary between China and Korea and the jurisdiction over the Koreans in the Yenchi region.
