The Plansft Fight. The Richmond Plsnet turned itt bat¬ tery louie ou the manag ment of the Grand Fountain of the Order of True Reformers, and there it some howling in Richmond. It seems that tbe same old game ia being played up there in the Old Dominion thet ia usually play¬ ed down thia way. Our Rev. Brown is commander-in-chief, it teems that money intrusted to him to buy prop¬ erty for the order was used to mike the purchase, but when the papers were made he had the property deed¬ ed ko himself, not aa trustee or agent, but aa though it was hia own money he had used and henee hit own property. Another little piece of crookness: Ile and two others were appointed aa s committee to arrange for and design the kind of regalia to be used by the order, but he went to work without the consent of the committee and ob¬ tained a copyright for the tame, then told this department to the Grand Fountain for fifty thousand dollars. Now, his game is to make the order objectionable to intelligent men and hit aida to tantalite and worry them until they become disgusted and quit; endjae soon as a man opposes or objects to hir methods of doing things, this man mutt go From the long list of names that were prominent in the order and that are now found on the out side of the fold is evidence of this old game and its insult!.

A VERY COURTEOUS PRESIDENT. Arbitration Treaty To Ba A*-aln Pat Bt* fore the Senate. [From Our Regular Correspondent.] Wabhibotob, November 22, '07. No President for years has paid more deference to the opinions of members of hit party than Malor McKinley does, and no President has ever taken more paint to ascertain the opinion of hie callers upon public matters. While there ia no queation of publie importance upon which President McKinley has not a well defined opin¬ ion of bia own, be invitee tha- freest ex¬ pression of -.he opinion of others snd is not so self-opinionated aa to be some¬ times oonvinced that his own are erro- nesui Just now he takes every op¬ portunity of drawing out the opinion of the callers on matters of whioh his annual message to Congress will treat. While his message which will be a long one, baa been all blocked out, what he hears between now and when the final revising is done may make material difference in portions of it. abbitbaticn treatt. If there isn't an arbitration treaty between Great Britain and the United States before the adjournment of this session of Congress, it will not be the fault of President McKinley, as he in¬ tends to tend anew treaty to the Sen¬ ate early io the session, drawn to meet the expressed objections to the one that wai rejected by the Senate at the lett teasion. Hil oriBIOK. Representative Dolliver of Iowa, whoae prominence in republican ciuv olls makes hie opinions upon legisla¬ tive matters of value, passed through Washington on bis way home, where he expects to eat hia Thanksuiving din¬ ner, from an Eastern trip. In reply to tbe question as to whether he thought currency legislation probable at thia session of Congress, he said: **I doubt if a bill can be framed that will rat*et with the approval of b >th Housea of Congress. It is not unlikely, however* that the House will take up legislation in line with the recommendations of the President's message. These, I take it, will be reasonable and conservative, and strictly along the line of tbe rec¬ ord and platform of tbe republican party." Mr. Dolliver says he thinks the early annexation of Hawaii abso¬ lutely certain and regards that and the aettlement of the Union Paoifio Rail¬ road debt among the ad ministration a most creditable wort;* ""HTS aiptnlon of Congress taking the Cuban question up, bb advocated by democrata and anti- administration newspapers, is worthy of more thsn a passing thought. Ha said : "If the combined wisdom of the Executive and the State Department is not equal to solving the Cuban prob¬ lem, I do not believe it would help mattera to throw it into a Congres¬ sional joint debate." raBPABiNQ r a rans. Attorney General McKenna is pre¬ paring the papers that will be necessa¬ ry in foreclosure nroeeedings against the Central Pacific Railroad, whioh rill, in January next, owe the U. 8.

The conclusion of the members of the Executive Committee of the In- ianapolia Financial Convention nf last winter, whieh hat been ho di ig a monetary conference in Washington for some time past, not to make their repirt public until after President McKinley's message and Secretary | Gage's annual report have been sub¬ mitted to C ingress, probably means tbat the measure which the committee will recommend to Congress will be in the main along the same lines at the financial recommendations that will be made in Secretary Gage's annual re¬ port and endorsed by President Mc¬ Kinley. In a statement just issued by this Committee, much more confi¬ dence is expressed in the passing of financial legislation by this Congrett than there are indications in sight to justify. O0OD WORK. President McKinley doesn't believe in tte brass band method nf announ¬ cing in advance e hat he intends doing; he prefers to allow his acts and accom¬ plishments to speak fur themselves. He has done more to maintain our national prestige abroad since the 4th of lsst March than his predecessor did during his full term of four years, and not the least of his accomplishments in that line was securing thai release of 27 American citizens from Spanish prisona in Cuba. -Mr. A.

FROM WASHINGTON.A VERY COURTEOUS PRESIDENT.

Arbitration Treaty To Ba A*-aln Pat Bt*fore the Senate.

[From Our Regular Correspondent.]Wabhibotob, November 22, '07.

No President for years has paid moredeference to the opinions of membersof hit party than Malor McKinleydoes, and no President has ever takenmore paint to ascertain the opinion ofhie callers upon public matters.While there ia no queation of publieimportance upon which PresidentMcKinley has not a well defined opin¬ion of bia own, be invitee tha- freest ex¬pression of -.he opinion of others snd isnot so self-opinionated aa to be some¬times oonvinced that his own are erro-nesui Just now he takes every op¬portunity of drawing out the opinionof the callers on matters of whioh hisannual message to Congress will treat.While his message which will be a longone, baa been all blocked out, what hehears between now and when the finalrevising is done may make materialdifference in portions of it.

abbitbaticn treatt.If there isn't an arbitration treatybetween Great Britain and the United

States before the adjournment of thissession of Congress, it will not be thefault of President McKinley, as he in¬tends to tend anew treaty to the Sen¬ate early io the session, drawn to meetthe expressed objections to the onethat wai rejected by the Senate at thelett teasion.

Representative Dolliver of Iowa,whoae prominence in republican ciuvolls makes hie opinions upon legisla¬tive matters of value, passed throughWashington on bis way home, wherehe expects to eat hia Thanksuiving din¬ner, from an Eastern trip. In reply totbe question as to whether he thoughtcurrency legislation probable at thiasession of Congress, he said: **I doubtif a bill can be framed that will rat*etwith the approval of b >th Housea ofCongress. It is not unlikely, however*that the House will take up legislationin line with the recommendations ofthe President's message. These, I takeit, will be reasonable and conservative,and strictly along the line of tbe rec¬ord and platform of tbe republicanparty." Mr. Dolliver says he thinksthe early annexation of Hawaii abso¬lutely certain and regards that and theaettlement of the Union Paoifio Rail¬road debt among the administration amost creditable wort;* ""HTS aiptnlon ofCongress taking the Cuban question up,bb advocated by democrata and anti-administration newspapers, is worthyof more thsn a passing thought. Hasaid : "If the combined wisdom of theExecutive and the State Departmentis not equal to solving the Cuban prob¬lem, I do not believe it would helpmattera to throw it into a Congres¬sional joint debate."

XONBTAB.T CINPSBKNCB.The conclusion of the members of

the Executive Committee of the In-ianapolia Financial Convention nf lastwinter, whieh hat been ho di ig amonetary conference in Washingtonfor some time past, not to make theirrepirt public until after PresidentMcKinley's message and Secretary| Gage's annual report have been sub¬mitted to C ingress, probably meanstbat the measure which the committeewill recommend to Congress will be inthe main along the same lines at thefinancial recommendations that will bemade in Secretary Gage's annual re¬port and endorsed by President Mc¬Kinley. In a statement just issued bythis Committee, much more confi¬dence is expressed in the passing offinancial legislation by this Congrettthan there are indications in sight tojustify.

O0OD WORK.

President McKinley doesn't believein tte brass band method nf announ¬cing in advance e hat he intends doing;he prefers to allow his acts and accom¬plishments to speak fur themselves.He has done more to maintain ournational prestige abroad since the 4thof lsst March than his predecessor didduring his full term of four years, andnot the least of his accomplishmentsin that line was securing thai release of27 American citizens from Spanishprisona in Cuba.
