American ratification and subse-
quently mentions the possibility TINT
the United States may be definitely
omitted from the list Of ratifying

NATIONAL RECALLS BURR
HAMILTON FEuD STORY.


New York, Dec. 2S.-Recollections, /,
of the political feud which resulted :
in the duel between Alexander Hamil-
ton and Aaron Burr, at Weehawken.
n. J., in 1904, have been revived here
by the merger of the Manhattan COM
pany and the Merchants National
banks, two of the oldest financial in
situations in New York.
For more than lis years the two es-
adjustments have dwelt side by sidei
at 40 and AZ Wall-st, and in 1882 they
united in the construction of the new
building which they have occupied
Jointly ever since. In the union of these
once rival institutions the metropolis
loses probably the last tangible trace
of the most famous of early American
antagonisms. Although the banks
themselves have long since .buried the
Ratchet, there was a time when they
were neighbors in name only-when
the mere suggestion of their getting
together would have been dismissed !,
as unthinkable.
Burr was elected to the New York
legislature in 1897, when the state and
city were controlled by Hamilton as
the leader of the Federalists. Hamil-
ton had helped to establish in New
York a branch of the Bank of the
United States. This was then the
only banking institution in New York
city The institution was controlled
