committed by the Servian and Monte
negrin troops In Albania. Altogether the
situation In regard to the Balkans Is such
that diplomats are greatly perturbed.
No reply TO the peace note of the pow
ers has been received from the Balkan
allies. The emba ssadors in London de-
cided today at the last moment that II
was useless to hold the meeting they
had projected owing TO the uncertainty
OF affairs in the near east.

secretary, informed the house OF COM

Inference Drawn.

These and kindred questions the presi-
dent had not yet decided absolutely, but
from what ne told his callers today, there
was a well defined impression of his In
clinations
The president leans strongly TO revision
by single bill lie thinks the income
tax question can only be decided after an
agreement has been made upon tariff
rates. He believes that sugar should go
on the free list, but is open to convio-
tiou on that point
The president has been hearing argu-
ments that people in Louisiana could
readjust their business 10 meet the new
conditions imposed by the removal OF the
tariff on sugar, But Col Robert Ewing
national committeeman from Louisiana
has been presenting the other side of the
question and when he left the White
house yesterday he had laid the case in
full before Mr., Wilson.

POWERS ARE NOTIFIED

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The United
States government has decided to recog
nize the Chinese republic. Secretary
Bryan conferred with President Wilson
for nearly an hour today at the White
House completing the details.
a note is being prepared at the state
department to be addressed 10 China
through the Chinese minister here.
Whether II Will be presented before the
meeting of the constituent assembly next
Tuesday or is intended TO reach the Chi
nese government on that day has not been
disclosed, but the mere presentation OF
the note to the Chinese minister and re-
sumption OF formal international relations
with the Chinese minister are regarded In
diplomatic circles as tantamount to recog-
milton. The United States government Is
anxious to show It's friendliness toward
China, and although there have been ru-
mors that other nations might recognize
China before the United States does. 1t
was believed in official circles here that
the United States would be found first
to show faith in the new republic

ton. (signed) G. ]. CULVER.
Secretary.
Mr.. Culver also issued the following
statement:
We wish to announce to the public
that most, II not all, statements made
by Mr.. Wilcox through the papers
during the past month are false, as
we have not asked for any conces-
sions on the 1912 agreement, except
not receive $2.75 per day for the first
year at the trade. We wish to say
especially that VIC have never sent
helpers out on work and charged
journeynen's pay for It.
we will say further that II we
granted the working conditions and
wages asked for by the union for this
year. Il would nearly double the cost
of electrical work in this district. We
feel that the present cost is too
high and believe II to be our duty
to oppose any further advance In
costs.
