BIC FAIR PLANS CHINA TO
SURPASS ALL PREVIOUS EXHIBITS

SAN FRANCISCO, August Jul
ian H. Arnold, American consud at
Annoy, China, who is to leave on the
Manchuria tomorrow for his post in
the Orient, called upon President
Moore of the Panama-Pacific exposi-
ton this morning and made many
valuable suggestions for the perpetual
ton of the Chinese exhibits in San
Francisco.
at is suggested that the Chinese
land japanese governments be encour-
aged to make here at San Francisco,
as a result of their exhibits at the
Panama-Pacific exposition, a perma-
nent exhibit for the nation" said Con
sui Arnold. This permanent exhibit
would be in the nature of the work
being done in Washington under the
lauspices of the Bureau of South
American republics. This exhibit
would be instrumental in giving the
people of the West and of the United
States in general a better understand
ling of the Oriental nations.
THE exhibit might also embrace
many of the products exhibited by the
IOriental nations at the exposition
This exhibit would serve to give the
commercial public in America a bet
ter conception of trade conditions in
IChina and Japan. 1t would also serve
to educate the American public in
general in regard to conditions in
these countries. The proposed Hall
of Oriental Nations, if made a perma-
nent institution, could be utilized also
for social purposes. For instance, if
a travelling Chinese official or Japan
csc official is visiting San Francisco
he could be entertained in this hall.
Receptions and other functions could
also be held in the Hall of Oriental
Nations, thus giving the American
public an opportunity of becoming
better acquainted with the leading
men of the Orient.
Will Spend Much.
Naturally China and Japan will
spend large sums of money on their
Iexhibits in San Francisco and it
would be an easy matter to perpetu-
late these exhibits. Undoubtedly,
China will make a showing at the
coming worlds fair that will surpass
any that she has previously made at
Iany other exposition.
81 would suggest that steps be TAX
en- to give the Chinese to understand
that every facility will be accorded
to them to land here in San Francis
co, especially in connection with the
Panama-Pacific International EXPOSE
ton, so that no fear need be enter
tanned in that direction
There is at present something of a
prejudice among the Chinese people
in general against the port of San
: Francisco, due to so-called exclusion
in past years in the execution of the
exclusion act.
81 understand America is soon to
ence at Canton and Hongkong, which
D is to decide whether this country
t shall carry on the examination work
S in connection with the Chinese ex,
r clusion act on the other side. This is
' step in the right direction, for the
T. examinations can be carried on better
4 in the Orient than on this coast"
One of the biggest booster" excur
sions ever sent out of this city will
be the Panama-Pacifc international
: Exposition junket, which will leave
n for Astoria August 16 under the aus
: pices of the Chamber of Commerce
/ A special train has been provided fol
y the business men of this city and 9th
e er sections of the state, who viii
make the trip.
While the excursion to Astoria il
primarily for the purpose of attending
