League Being Formed.

League Being Formed.
Cleveland, o., December 23.--The
"Carnation League Of America" is The
name Of new patriotic movement pro
posed to the trustees of the Mckinley
Natlona Memorial Association. The
idea originates with Lewis G. Reynolds
business man, of Dayton, Ohio, and
1t will be submitted to the trustees at
their coming meeting in Washington.
In referring to the proposition today,
Mr. Ritchie, secretary Of the Mckinney
Monument Association, said:
"Mr. Reynolds, conception IS interst
ing and extraordinary from many view
points. He proposes that the 'carna
tion leage have a creed framed from
some notable words OF Mckinley ane
that it shall be perennial memorial g
his honor, craftsmanship and patriot
ism, differing from that accorded to
any of our past presidents Every
member of the league would wear a
carnation on eacn recurring 14th day
Of September, the anniversary Of our
late pesident's death
What the Primrose League has
been to British politics, the Carnation
League may be to American patriot
ism /"
The Carnation League meets the
approval Of Judge William R. Da,
president Of the Mckinley National
Memorial Association. and also Of
Treasurer Myron T. Herick and Sena-
yor Hanna.

Presidents Attitude.
The following statement of mis- atti
tude get from a high administration
source:
The president is strongly of the
opinion the matter should be submit
ted to The Hague tribunal, but with
him The paramount consideration is to
secure a settlement Of the differences
BY arbitration. His suggestion of The
Hague has not yet met the approval of
any governemnt involved. Venezuela
objects because of the indefinite char
acter Of The Hague tribunal, and the
other governments have expressed a
strong preference for Roosevelt. The
matter has not yet reached the final
stage. The presidents last sugges-
tion Of The Hague has not been put in
the shape OF formal note, because
formal notes from Great Britain Italy
and Germany in response to his first
Hague suggestion, and in turn suggest
ing that he act as arbitrator have not
been received here; but through pour
parours the positions of the several
governments have been carried for
ward to the stage where the president
has reiterated the suggestion Of The
-sague in response to the suggestion
that he himself act as arbitrator.
'srhe president is taking the keen
est possible interest in the trend OF
public opinion and is anxious that
American newspapers snail no. take a
strong position against his acting as
some have shown a disposition to do

interest bring the matter to him in
such shape that it is an issue between

traitor, or no arbitration at ali, he will

possibility Of his acceptance be not un-
derstood abroad, because he feels that
If the powers understand his exact po-
sition LEY will insist upon his serv-

that while, technically, a decision by
him would not involve this govern
