 Pekin. March 9.-Financial represent atives of no less than ten of the most important shipbuilding and armor man ufacturing concerns of Great Britain Germany and France. are at present in Pekin looking for contracts. This ac- tivity is induced by the belief that China Is about to expend $50. 900 900 In naval equipment. Whether this is so or not is not yet definitely known, but fin any event it is probable that the War Department will let contracts for the building of training ships and riv- CT boats and the construction of vari- ous docks and wharves.
 Since the beginning of the year China has becn successful in concluding sew eral railroad loans. The total of the amount thus secured is $32. 800. 900. Of this sum $l7. 800 900 has been apportion- ed for concessions and foreign holders of the largest concessions in China are hoping to sell their privileges back to the Government. This financial activ- ity Is a result of the movement of the last twelve months for the restitution to China of the privileges and conces- sions held by foreigners, known as the recovery of rights" movement.

ment Which Was Extended
 Governor Johnson.
 In an interview yesterday, pr. John w, Abercrombie, President of the Uni yersity of Alabama said that the Uni versity faculty had invited Governor John A, Johnson, of Minnesota, the Democrat most prominetly mentioned for President next to W. J. Bryan, to come to Tuscaloosa next May and de- liver an address during the commence ment of that institution.
 The opinion was given by pr. Aber- crombie that Governor Johnson will accept the invitation though he has not heard from him positively on this point. Great influence is being brought to bear on Governor Johnson to persuade him to come to Alabama. The hint was abroad yesterday that on account of the recent action of the State Demo- cratic Committee of Minnesota endors- ing him for the Democratic nomina- tion for President, Governor Johnson will feel an extra inclination to visit ths State.
 If the distinguished Minnesotan does comes, however, pr. Abercromble said he will address the University Alumni Association and politics will not be his aim. The alumni and the faculty of the university have recognized the estimabie worth and ability of the Democrat who climbed into the guber- material chair of a strongly Republican State.
