"PRESIDENT

MCKINLEY."

A Chinese named Choi Yat, des- cribed as a store-keeper, attempted to commit suicide in the hospital room of the ss. President McKinley while alongside the Kowloon Wharf last evening. He was a passenger from Kobe to Hong Kong, and dur- ing the great part of the voyage he had been kept under observation owing to signs of insanity. With the aid of a razor he inflicted a nasty cut in his throat,"

A steeteher party was sent to the vessel, and the man, bleeding badly from the wound was taken across the harbour by launch and sent to the Government Civil Hospital.
