FLOATING THE CHINESE LOAN.

NEW YORK, March ia special to the World
from London says: London financial circles are
much interested in the question Of the floating OF
the Chinese loan if the negotiations for peace de-
pend upon China paying heavy indemnity 10
Japan. The last Chinese loan was almost an abso-
Lutte failure on the London and Continental mar
kets, although 1t guaranteed by the customs
duties at the treaty ports The representatives OF
the Rothschilds and other large firms here said to-
night that no proposition has been received for an
indemnity loan. If il is very large there certainly
will be the greatest difficulty in negotiating it,
There would be less difficulty if Japan should
occupy Picking and administer the affairs of The
Celestial Empire.
