OVERLAND CHINA MAIL,
AS A GIFT OR REFERENCE.
Either as a future reference or for sending away to friends abroad to acquaint them with the facts about China and Hong Kong, this week's number of the "Overland China "Mail" will prove extremely useful,
Firstly there is the fully cabled report of the Extrality Commission's findings a document of momentous importance to the world. Instead of having to ask for information later on, every foreigner should have a copy on hand
ANTI-FOREIGN TROUBLE AT HANKOW.”
...
Similar in many respects to the wave of anti-foreign agitation at Canton, is the trouble that has broken out at Hankow. Each stage is carefully recorded this week, together with footnotes and explanations for non-Chinese.
THE PIRACY PROBLEM,
That the piracy problem is engaging the best attention is evident from the appointment of the "Sunning" commis- sion, the "Gazette" announcement of which is reproduced in the weekly. In this issue will also be found the latest news about the raiding of an outlaw stronghold by military forces and the report of the first hearing against the ""Sunning suspects.
