ment of the worlds youngest repub-
lie was inaugurated yesterday amid
general rejoicings throughout the

frock coats, silently awaited the ap-
pointed hour.
As the clock struck II, several
bands played the national anthem,
while the assemblage rose to it's feet
The senior members of the house of
representatives then make a few con-
gratulatory remarks and formally de-
clared both houses open. Scenes Of
jubiliation followed.
Outside vast crowds cheered as a
salute of 1O1 guns doomed from the
city wall. An adjournment was then
taken to April IL.
The American charge daffaires has
intimated to the Chinese government
that recognition of the republic by
the United States would be made
when the parliamentary officers have
been appointed and quorums declar-
ed. Brazil and Mexico will act at the
same time as the United States. The
other powers probably will defer ac-
tion until after the election of the
president. which will be several
months hence.
If some crisis does not alter con-
ditions, the parliamentary representa-
tives will draft a constitution before
electing permanent president. In
the meantime they will permit Yuan
Shi Kai to continue in the office of
the provisional presidency.
The American group of financiers
will close their offices shortly in Pc
