Special to The Tribune
WASHINGTON, June 1.-Captain
Robert Dollar, president of a great
shipping line on the Pacific Coast,
came to Washington to plead feore
the senate committee on Interoceanlc
canals for free canal tolls and for pro-
lection against railroads-OWned ships,
which have hurt the Independent ship
ping interests of the coast by reason
of their keen competition. Captain
Dollar also made a visit to the State
Department to plead for recognition
of the Chinese Republic.
1.-The progress of China under Its
new government" said Captain Dol
lar, lis certain to be marvelously
rapid. There is wonderful amount
of work to be done in the construction
of railroads, opening mines, building
of docks and harbor works, and In
other great public works. Very much
of the business incidents to this de-
velopment must come to the United
States. 1 think our government
should extend a helping hand to China.
DR.. Sun, who voluntarily relinqudshed
the presidency of China, proved him.
self, in my opinion, to be q really great
man. He is honest, patriotic and un-
selfish, and he will be ready to help,
If he is needed, in the upbuilding OF
the Republic"
china's Exhibit
1t is expected that China will have
an exhibit at the San Diego Expos
ition. Heretofore the exhibits OF
China at the neutrality-suspicious. where
she has taken part have been among
the most interesting Of all that nave
been displayed. China is so diner
ent in everything, that her art, her
manufactures, her industrial exhibits
have aroused the keenest interest.
Now that she is coming out as the
most progressive Of all nations, 1t
will be interesting to see her exhibit,
her newest ideas besides her ideas OF
the past centuries
The exposition has representative
in the Orient who hopes to secure
from the Chinese government the
promise of an adequate rationale ex-
hibit at San Diego.
Idaho is Friendly
George E. Atwater, appointed by
Gov. James H. Hawley Of Idaho, to
investigate San Diego's exposition
plansin behalf of Iadho, was favorably
impressed with all that he saw by the
Silver Gate and recommended that the
exhibit of Idaho take the form of the
irrigation projects being constructed
in Iadho. He said of the grounds in
general:
"The Exposition grounds comprise
$4,000 acres, are high and gently roll
ling and command beautiful view of
the city, Point Coronado, the harbor
and the Pacific ocean. In fact, the
site is the finest of any exposition yet
held in this country. The grounds
will, without doubt, be the most
beautiful in the way of trees, orna-
mental shruggery and flowers that
have been seen on this continent
They have an immense nursery where
the trees, flowers and ornamental
shrubbery are now growing, and ready
to be transplanted when wanted on
the exposition grounds. All the build
ings are to be in Spanish mission style
of architecture, which will be very
attractive"
Champ C'ark's Exposition
Champ Clark's campaign manager
has announced that this candidate
would be nominated at Baltimore, and
that the total cost of the campaign
would be only $39,00O,-or perhaps he
said $4,000. Anyway it's mere baga-
telle when compared with the expen-
ses Of certain candidates; and its not
necessary to name any names.
Perhaps the Clark campaign has
