NEW BANK IN CHINA.
Government to Cordially Support an
American institution.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE es-
tablishment of a great American
banking institution in the far east is
about to be realized. with the cordial
| cooperation of the government at
Washington, so far as assistance can
he given under existing law and I'M
der legislation that is being urged
upon the present congress. The en-
terprise is understood to command
the enormous capital Indispensable
to enable 1t to compete with great
foreign institutions strongly intrench-
ed on the other side of the Pacific.
The method adopted in the general
protocol of Pekin for the distribution
of the Chinese indemnity. amounting
to 1888 100000 gold. of which s25.00O.-
900, with interest. is payable to the
United States in installments running
to 1910, made it indispensable for the
United States to designate some bank
at Shanghai as the depository of its
shares. and the only alternative to
dealing with foreign banks was to
encourage the establishment of an
American institution of undoubted
strength.
The Guaranty Trust company, of
New York, has been selected by Pres
ident Roosevelt's cabinet to under
take the desired responsibilities at
Shanghai. Hong Kong and eventually
at Manila and other eastern ports,
and already officials Of that corpora
ton have been sent out to survey the
field and to make preliminary ar
rangements for beginning business
about the first of the year. when they
will be called upon to receive the

the army posts. and has actually in
