WASHINGTON, d. c., March %
The most notable feature of the
wonderful commercial development
now apparent in the United States
ds the growth of the Pacific coast
cities as channels OF foreign trade
During the last year the exports
from the Pacific ports have almost
doubled-$1O3,1 21 SIS worth Of mer-
chandise. During 1904 they export
ed only $65,722,S16. Enough Is
known to make it certain that this
ratio Of growth Is not only being
maintained, but increased. Imports
have kept pace in the same pro-
portion.
This means commercial develop
ment by leaps and bounds. Our
trade with China and Japan has
almost doubled in year, and tri-
piled in two years. Beginning in
1903 at 13 millions OF dollars, our
exports to China, during period of
10 months for which the records
were kept, grew the next year, dur.
ing the same period to 20 millions.
The exports to Japan increased
from 16 millions to % millions to
40 millions.
This is 10 times as much as we
sent Japan 10 years ago and IA
times as much as we sent to China
What then of the future OF our
Pacific coast cities and the future
of this oriental trade?
Multiply the total Of the present
oriental trade by nine and the re.
suit will be rough estimate OF the
potentialities of the oriental trade,
To put 1t In another way, the
present trade of Asia and Oceanica
amounts to three billion dollars
But their population is $4,000. 900
while that OF all the rest of the
world is but 750,O00,O00. But the
trade Of the rest of the world
amounts to 10 billion dollars. So
d. is seen that the orient has a per
capita trade OF only about SO a year

INDIANAPOLIS, March %. - The
most popular man in Indiana will
soon be wearing the garb of a con.
Wet in the state penitentiary. David
E. Sherrick, former auditor Of the
state, is now in the custody of the
sheriff. pending his removal to the
penitentiary.
In 1904 Sherrick received a plur-
ality of $4,000, several hundred
larger than given Roosevelt for
president, and 10000 larger than
the plurality given J. Frank Hanly
for governor. 1t was the largest
plurality ever given a candidate for
state Office in Indiana.
Everywhere in Indiana Sherrick
was known as Dave" He was a
good fellow in every sense of the
word. He had a way of winning
friends and keeping them.
The downfall of Sherrick is the
result of politics. When he first
sought office he was a prosperous
lawyer and insurance agent at No
blesville. The nomination for aud
itor of state cost him nearly as
much as two years salary-$13, 900,
$4,000 being the annual salary. He
went into Office a poor man.

Special Dispatch to The Press
WASHINGTON, March 23.-The
late night visit of Henry H. Rogers
the jolly vice president of the Stan
dard Oil Co., to the white house
and the curtained conference held
by him with the Big Stick has oc.
casioned considerable comment
along Pennsylvania-av.
While Mr.. Rogers Is regarded as
the country's leading humorist
when on the witness stand, no one
is better aware than he that it is nc
laughing matter to call on the Big
Stick, especially when the returns
have been tangled by laundering
subordinates. Mr.. Rogers was as
gay and clipper looking as a 18th
of March parade when he tripped
into the white house, but when he
came forth he seemed to be in
some haste.
To those young men of inquiring
minds who asked with perfect can
dor for the details of what had
transpired he shook his head and
sighed. Il cannot say a word" he
said.
From doubtful sources it was
learned that the Big Stick and
Standard OIL Hi talked on a variety
of subjects.

comfortable seat on the presidents
desk he asked the Big Stick, cordi
