A monster Chinese picnic was held to-Vlay to celebrate the inauguration of the Cliineso Republic. GREAT mYDEPOSSIBILITIES. (Received 1, 8.5 a.m.) Sydney, March 1. Speakers at the Chinese picnic dealt with the great possibilities of trade developments between Australia and the new China. The President of the Young China League declared that one ambition of the united parties was peace and demotion to arts. One advantage of peace in China’s awakening was that it meant the adoption of Western ideas, particularly regarding food and clothing, which would greatly interest the producers of wool and wheat, enormous quantities of which would be required. WUCHANG QUIET AGAIN. Pekin, February 29. Hundreds of Yuan-Shih-Kai’s troops rioted, and indiscriminate phooting and wrecking of houses ensued. Thousands of soldiers are employed restoring order. Advices from Wuchang report that tranquility lias been restored./ The grievance was due to favouritism in making appointments.
