With the exception of about £100,000, Mr. W. H. Smith left his estate to Viscount Hambleden. Viscountess Hambleden laft estate to her five daughters.

The "Overland" is the only ILLUSTRATED weekly summary of news published in Hong Kong, including all that is interest- ing in the daily edition.

Along the Yangtze River, the British Navy has taken part in another joint raid on outlaws.
Full details of these happenings appear in the Illustrated "Overland."
