A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE.

The event in the China news this week is the resignation of Chiang Kai-shek, who has retired to Ningpo after bringing his staff from Nanking to Shanghai. At the present moment political affairs, so far as the Southern forces are

concerned,

are in a state of chaos. It appears that what is left of the Hankow regime is attempting to gather together the reins at Nanking and foun a united Nationalist party. The full story of Chiang's eclipse appears in this week's "Overland Mail, together with descriptions of the fighting between his troops and the Northerners, in which the former were badly defeated.

Matters of interest in Hong Kong and China generally,

including an interesting local murder trial and important'state- ments regarding the customs surtaxes which the Nanking Gov- ernment was to bring into effect on September 1, all appears. in the "Overland.
