CHINA AWAKENING.
A MISSIONARY'b OBSER* V4TIONS> MILITARY REFuRM. United Pi'&Si Association—Bv Elcctfic Telegraph Copyright. Received October 7, 11 a.m. SYDNEY, October 7. The Rev. Mr Burgess, a missionary, who has spsnt twenty years in China, has returned here on furlough. He predicts that in fifteen years China's military system will be sufficiently advanced to enable her to defend herself against the insults of outside Powers. Referring to the possible boycott of Australian goods over the refusal to admit a Chinese professor, Mr Burgess says he is sure a boycott will be instituted if it can be done without loss to the Chinese merchants themselves. Australia, he consider?, ought to be frieiidly towards China, and try to capture a market for wool. There are several hundred thousnad troops who wear wadded uniforms. The wadding at present is it ought to be wool, and Australia should be able to get the trade.
