British achievements for Far East
Before End of September.

London, July lit is strongly ru-
mored in service and parliamentary
clubs that the British government was
preparing to send 1O0, 900 Indian troops
TO China in the autumn. A foreign Of

possibly be spared from India, nor was
it possible for Great Britain to add to
her present responsibilities by sending
out such a force. Wherever secured,
however, he added it may safely be as
serted that strong British reinforce
ments will be on their way to the Far

AN IMPORTANT MISSION.
DIR. Wolff Visited Austin to Confer
With the State Authorities on
Babouic Plague.

DR.. a. s. Wolff, state health Of
ficer of this district returned Sat
arday from Aastin, where he has
called to confer Win the governor
aud state board Of health on the
important subject of devising meas
nres to keep bubonic plague from
invading the state. It's we'll known
that this dread disease exists IN
San Francisco, and as there is con
start communication between that
point and Texas, it is of the utmost
Importance that the strieteSt vigf-
lance be maintained. DIR. Wolf has
made special study of the plague
for the past twenty FIVE years, and
the governor was anxious to avail
himself Of the DOCTORS knowledge
on behalf of the state. An import
ant post in the service was offered
the doctor, as may be seen from
the following which we clip from
the Texas Medical Journal:
In this connection We may men
ton that Dir. Arthur 5. Wolff, the
oldest Officer in the State public
health service, who has been State
Quarantine Officer at Brownsville
twenty six years, arrived in Austin
December 2 on a summons from
DIR. Blunt, the State Health Officer,
who wished him to accept service
in the plague war at some point,
and it is contemplated TO assign
him to duty at San Francisco a lit
tie later; or at FL PasO, Texas.
The officer from the latter place
being now at San Francisco, and it
is understood wishes to return to
his post. ltd of the highest i'm
portance that the State of Texas
should have on duty at San Fran
cisco an able, honest, experienced
and fearless officer, and DIR. Wolf
will fill all the requirements.
The doctor informs US, however,
that he does not think he can &C
cept the appointment, as the eli
mate of either place is too severe,
and his health would not stand it.
From Austin, DR.. Wolff went to
Texline, on the northwest border
of Texas, and instructed the quar-
antine officials there as to the pro-
per methods of examining persons
and disiufeeting baggage, ETC.,
from points infected with the
plague. The doctor was absent on
~ about three weeks, but travelled
over fourteen hundred miles, going
from Brownsville, the extreme
southern town of Texas, to Texline,
the extreme northwest town of the
state. He returns somewhat ia
tigued by his long journey.
