UNSTABLE CHINA.
UNREST WILL LAST FOR YEARS. RETURN OF CIVIL WAR. (By Telegraph.—Special to Standard.) AUCKLAND, Nov. 6. The stability of the Government has not yet been achieved in China according to Mr D. Ferguson, a Scotsman, who, after spending many years in that country, arfived at Auckland by the Maheno with the idea of taking up his residence in the Dominion. “The present Government is going out very soon. There is no doubt of that,” he said. This would mean a return to civil war. “I cannot see China settled down for a great many years to come,” Mr Ferguson added. He thought it impossible to unify a country containing over 400,000,000 people, where the dialects and customs varied so greatly that the people in the North could not understand what those from the South were talking about.
