DR. MORRISON'S APPOINTMENT. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Received 5, 9.15 pjn. London, August 5. The Daily Telegraph's Pekin correspondent states that much comment has been caused in the Legations on account of Dr. Morrison's appointment as political adviser to the President of China at a handsome salary.
