Ter at conferences to-day settled up
practically all of the differences that
threatened to prolong the session.

dars way into the. night, both houses

ton OF the convention system for the
nomination of State and judicial Of
ficers, but were divided on the man
ner Of selecting the convention dele

cided upon. 1t provides that the dele

which the party delegates could be
designated by the Assembly District
committees and the independent dele

Gov. Miller stepped into the breach on
the rent bill tangle. Calling a confer
ence OF the Assemblymen who have been

mously. 1t was sent Immediately to the

without delay. The bill extends to Octo-
Der the time when the new civil prac-

M'GARRAH DENIES
MERGER OF BANKS
Mechanics and Metals Union
With National City Is Not
Contemplated.
McHUGH NOT TO CHANGE
Report That He Would Sue
ceed Stillman as President
Has No Foundation.

The revival OF talk OF merger or
the Mechanics and Metals National
Bank with the National City Bank, ac-
companied by intimation that John
McHugh. vice-president of the former,
might become president of the Ma
tional City Bank to succeed James A.
Stillman. who thereupon would re-
sumo his former title of chairman OF
the board, gave circulation without
foundation to a plan which was dis
cussed first about eighteen months ago
and was abandoned in the first half
of 1890. The published reports in
newspapers were denied promptly and
in such a way as to indicate that there
were no negotiations whatever, formal
or informal, between the two banking
institutions.
When questioned yesterday Gates ".
McGarrah. president OF the Mechanics
and Metals Bank. gave out the following
statement: "The statement appearing
on the first page Of this mornings Times
to the effect that merger OF the Me-
chanics and Metals National Bank and
the National City Bank ~ In contenpia-
tion or that John McHugh might pe-
come president Of the National Clty
Bank is absolutely untrue In every oe-
tail"
John II. Fulton, general executive
manager of the City Bank, issued also
a sweeping denial, and Charles Y. Kich,
one OF its executive MANAGERS. anrnit'1u
that published items had brought 70
life rlimors OF a deal which had long
been abandoned Regarding the rnnoT
that Mr. McHugh would become presi-

McHugh had been suggested TO MT
StiIIman as a possible candidate for tho
presidency, but the facts are that tne
names Of nearly every prominent pankcr
In New York have been suggested %
Mr.. Stillman. and that thus far there
IS no indication that any one OF them
has received serious consideration
Mr.. Stillmans friends have said ever
since he assumed the presidency OF the
City Bank following the resignation ~
Frank A. Vanderlip that he took tne
title with great reluctancy. and that ne

JAPANESE PAPERS ADVISE
CONCESSIONS TO AMERICA
Toxic on Common Ground With Washington in De-
manding Equal Opportunities for All in Mandated
Territories in Pacific, Says Japan Times

treaty was concluded mainly as a re-
suit of the support of the American
plenipotentiaries, the Jill Shimpv
recommends concessions regarding
cable questions in the Pacific like
those made by France in the Atlantic.
The Japan Times published in Eng
lish) points out that Japan and the
United States are on q common ground
in one respect concerning mandates,
for Japan, it says, always has claimed
equal opportunities for other nationals
in all inundated territories OF the
Pacific.
"lf Japan can secure equal tradc
rights with the British in Samoa and
New Guinea she can afford to permit
the internationalization of Yap," says
the Times. In the settlement of this
question, however, It is only fair that
the Australians and New Zealanders
make sacrifices as well as the Japa-
nese.'
