DR.MORRISON INTERVIEWED
(Received January 20th, 11.10 p.m.) BRISBANE, January 20. Dr. Morrison, the Pekin correspondent of "The Times," interviewed with reference to the Boxer movement, said there was a large army, which was uncontrollable, in the Canton delta. The Germans had control of that position, and were selling arms to the Chinese. It was not true that the Japanese were going to reorganise the Chinese army ; the other Towers would not permit it. Very few Japanese officer* were employed. A properly organised Chinese army would Dβ a formidable eniAiny. The Russians gave up the palace at Mukden in order to gain a better position for the military railway, which is carrying as many troops as possible. There was a great difference of opinion as regards the tariff treaty. Tlia feeling was gradually growing that the Chinese would nob Jalfii their obligations. Missionary matters in China were more hopeful than for years, and missionary ladies were returning to the interior.
