Other Members of Six-PoWer Group, From Which United States With Draws, Likely to Intimate the
 Stand They Will Take.

Washington, May 3.-The new Chi nese republic was formally recognized by the United States.
 Charge Williams at Pekin cabled that he had delivered the formal rec ognition as he was authorized to do upon complete organization of the new government
 The governments action has ere ated a most interesting international situation and brings to the point the intentions of the five other powers parties to the six-power loan negotia- tons from which the United States re- gently withdrew, announcing the pur- pose to recognize China and urging the others to do the same.
 The recent action of Yuan Shi Kai in concluding a loan of $125,000,000 with a five-power group Is expected to prove a powerful incentive to those governments to support him in join- ing the uited States in the recogni- ton of nina.
 The message Charge Williams de livered to President Ypan Shi Kai from President Wilson was:
 "The government and people of the United States of America, having abundantly testified their sympathy with the people of China upon their assumption of the attributes and pow CTS of self-government, deem it oppor tune at this time, when the repre- sentative national assembly has met to discharge the high duty of setting the seal of full accomplishment upon the aspirations of the Chinese people that 1 extend, in the name of my gov err nent and of my countrymen, greeting of welcome to the new China, thus entering into the family of na- tions
 Tn taking this step l entertain the confident hope and expectation that in perfectins a republican form of gov ernment the Chinese nation will at tain to the highest degree of develop ment and well-being, and that under the new rule all the established obli- gations of China which pass to the plONlSiOlieti SONti VIII III luIu pass to and be observed by the gov ernmcnt established by the assem- bly,"
 President Yuan Shi Kai's response was as follows:
 "In the name of the republic of China l thank you most heartily for the message of recognition you have sent me through your honored repre- sentative in this capital, the senti- ments of amity and good will which it bespeaks. The expression of greeting and welcome which it conveys at once testifes to the American spirit of mutual helpfulness and adds another brilliant page to the history of 70 years of uninterrupted friendly inter- course between China and the United States.
 Though unfamiliar with the repub- lican form of government, the Chinese people are yet fully convinced of the soundness of the principles which un- derlies it and which is so luminously represented by your glorious com. monwealth. The sole aim of the gov ernment which they have established therefore is and will be to preserve this form of government and to per feet its workings to the end that they may enjoy it's unalloyed blessings, prosperity and happiness within; through union of law and liberty and peace and friendship without; through the faithful execution of all estab. lished obligations"
