BRANCH BANK TO BE ESTAB

ENVOY IS ON WAY
America to Be Visited and Likely
New York May Get One.
Pekin, Jan, 6. It became known
today that the establishment in Lon
don of a branch of the Bank of
China is to be one of the missions of
Chon Chin-tao, special envoy of the
ministry of finance, with the rani: of
minister plenipotentiary, who leaves
?!yrtly for England, Europe and the
United States. At the time of his
recent appointment it was understood
than Dr. Chon was going abroad to
negotiate for a recrudescence of the
130,000,000 currency reorganization
loan which the revolution of 1911
upset. Now it seems that this . is
to be but one of his many duties.
The organization of a branch in
New York, city is also discussed, but
no decision has been reached official
ly. However, this will.be done soon
or late, but London will have the
honor of receiving the first foreign
branch of the Bank of China. It is
understood that Dr. Chon will look
into the New York situation- while
he is in America, and that the future
date of placing a Manhattan depart'
ment will depend upon his
after he returns to this city.
