ASKS CONGRESS TO
RECOGNIZE China

came to Washington to plead before
the senate committee on interoceanic
canals for free canal tolls and for pro-
lection against railroad owned ships,
which have hurt the Independent ship
ping interests of the coast by reason
of their keen competition. Captain
Dollar also made visit to the state
department to plead for recognition of
the Chinese republic.
"The progress of China under its
new government, said Captain Dol
lar, 'is certain to be marvelously
rapid. There is wonderful amount
of work to be done in the construction
of railways, opening mines, building of
docks and harbor works, and in other
great public works. Very much of the
business incident to this development
must come to the United States.
think our government should exten |
helping hand to China DIR. Sun,
who voluntarily relinquished the presi-
dency of China, proved himself, in my
opinion, to be a really great man. He
is honest, patriotic and unselfsh, and
he will be ready 10 help, if he is
needed, in the upbuilding of the re-
public"
China's Exhibit.
1t is expected that China will have
an exhibit at the San Diego exposi-
tion. Heretofore the exhibits of China
at the various expositiOns where she
has taken part have been among the
most interesting of all that have been
displayed. China is so different in
everything, that her art, her manu-
factures, her industrial exhibits have
aroused the keenest interest. Now
that she is coming out as the most pro-
gressive of all nations, it will be in
teresting to see her exhibit, her newest
ideas besides her ideals of the past
centuries.
The exposition has representative
in the Orient who hopes to secure
from the Chinese government the
promise of an adequate national ex-
hibit at San Diego.
Champ Clark Expenses
Champ Clark S campaign manager
has announced that his candidate
would be nominated at Baltimore, and
that the total cost of the campaign
would be only $39,000-or perhaps he
said $4,000. Anyway it's a mere
bagatelle when compared with the ex-
penses of certain candidates; and it s
not necessary to name any names.
Perhaps the Clark campaign has
been managed practically without
money, because, as the speaker says, a
great part of the work involved in his
campaign has been done by his loving
friends without cost of any kind.
In this respect Champ Clark is like
San Diego; the city of the Panama
exposition has a very warm place in
the hearts of its friends. They have
been advrtising it, boosting it, saying
nice things about it all over the coun-
try. They tell of its many charms of
climate and scenery: thew praise its
hospitality; they brag about its enter
prise; they extol the pluck which
prompted it to undertake an interna-
tional exposition, and the steadfast-
ness which enables it to carry out the
plans for that great enterprise; they
admire the puplic spirit, farsightedness
and enterprise of the people in keep
ing their promise and making good -
on every count.
San Diego is receiving no end of
kind words from the country at large,
and there is no doubt that she will
have an exposition of which her peo-
Pile will feel proud.
Congress Hurrying to Adjourn.
Appreciation bills will be passed,
the tariff revision fight continued, the
Lorimer case debated, the other legis-
lation discussed in congress this week.
Every effort is being made to get the
supply measures through on a right of
way understanding in both houses, so
that they may be secured regardless
of time for final adjournment, which
still is speculative.
Probably in July was the guess
yesterday of Senator Smoot, of Utah,
one of the Republican leaders, while
some of the Democratic senators, in
cluding Culberson, of Texas, said they
believed an adjournment in August
more likely.
The fight on the naval appropriation
bill will be precipitated in the senate
probably late in the week, with indi-
cations favoring the administrations
two battleships annual increase pro-
gram. The committee has tentatively
added to the house bill a 100000 ap-
preparation for the establishment of
coal and other fuel depots for war
ships. This is considered by the navy
department as absolutely necessary to
carry out it's comprehensive scheme of
providing coal stores at such strategic
points as Pearl harbor, Caballo island,
Tiburon, Narragansett bay, Guantana-
mo, Boston, New York and Hampton
| Roads.
/ The next project to be taken up will
be to provide for store of coal of
| 100, 900 tons at the Norfolk navy yard,
which is to be made one of the most
| important coal depots on the Atlantic
coast.
/ The appropriation for the Pearl
harbor drydock has been increased
by the committee so as to make the
total limit of cost $3,4S6,500
