The Legation doctors consider the plague to be the most contagious and virulent in the world's history. There were scarcely any recoveries at Yersin. The use of serum was without effect. The plague is spreading rapidly towards Hankau. Twenty-six bodies were found on the railway south of Tientsin. There is an exodus of foreign wo-' men and children from Peking. I The epidemic was propagated by\ Chinese hunters, who were shipping furs to Vancouver. One hundred foreign experts are urgently needed.
