Edict Not Recognized

The importance of yesterdays edict calling together a national conference to decide on the form of the future government of China apparently is not recognized in the Chinese capital, There is more agitation here over the arrest of three revolufonaries carrying bombs in front of the central police than over the imperial edict. Foreign CTS here are somewhat apprehensive lest the capital be transferred to Nan king, but many resident Chinese as well as foreigners are inclined to believe there is something behind the apparent imperial surrender.
 Yuan Shi Kai says that as premier he is willing to bow to the wishes of the majority, but he remains mon archist and never will serve a re- public.
 Washington December 29.-The Unit ed States will not recognize the new Chinese republic formally at this mo- ment or until it becomes clearly ap- parent that the imperialists are ap- preciably no longer capable of main taining themselves in power.
 This attitude, however, will not pre- vent the representatives of the state department in China from doing bus mess with the provisional republic to the extent of safeguarding American lives and property and in doing any needful thing to assist in the restora- tion of peace.
