The president has entirely recovered from his reeeot indis? position. A Plot Discovered The Cinoinnati Enquirer prints an artiole whioh purports to give details or a plot. It is alleged that word has gone forth from Kepoblioao headquar? ters to the various oampaigo orators and spoil binder* to ignore everything that is said as applied by tbe Democrats in the subjeot of expansion to the Philippine Islands. A few weeks beforo the eleotioo; tbe programme is to spriog a gigantic sen? sation on tho nation. By liberal use'of campaign funds in tbo meantime, it ;iy hoped, and confidently expected, thatjt great many of tho lesser loaders of the Filipino insurrection wiii have been "induced" to surrender The plan is for as many of theso lesser ! leaders as oan be bought, to lay down iboir urrns with cjreat pomp and ocre monv. all on a certain day. President McKinley is then to oome out with a proclamation stating that bo never had tbe remotest idea of holding tho Philip pine Islands ; that he said at tbo outset suoh a policy would be criminal ogres sion."

Mr Andrew Carnegie baa cooaloded j that it wi!i be*oior6 pre Cable for biio to j build a railroad to connect bis (???el | work* with tidewater than to pay other ! roads to baul bis itnmcme ernennt of traffic. it is *aid that two routes for the pro posed C?rof gie railroad are under con? sideration, one extending easiward from i'itthburg through iba Qonntlla viHe regioti, und depending t:pon the Heading road'for tidewater faciltiea at Philadelphia, and the other taking a aoutbeasteriy direction through West Virginia aod Virginia to Norfolk, where the Carnegie company would ooostruct an ooeao terminal of its own. Mr Carnegie will finance this great undertaking himself, and has ample ability to do so. He states that the tonnage of his railroad will astonish the publio aod will sorely oreate a ready market for the securities of bis road. That the road will hare a groat busioess may be readily believed, for the output of the Carnegie tnrHs alone is so enor? mous, and botb of tbe proposed routes pass through thickly populated aod very productive regions The export trade of the Carnegie mills has increas? ed so rapidly that a port cf their own connecting the mills and tbe port is very desirable It is stated that Mr Caroegic has felt for a long timo that railroad rates from his mills to the coast were too high, and has finally determined that he will submit to them oo longer. Fortunately for Mr Caroo gie, be is able to fight his own battles even against the great railroads ? Atlanta Journal. FIRE IN FLORENCE.
