Anxiety And Confusion Over The Go
 Htcling NexKa From AEnarica.

Anxiety And Confusion Over The Con- ffctfng News From America. LONDON, Nov. 7-The unfortunate mis- calculations of the New York Associated Press as to the vote at the recent election, which have led to great excitement and fears
 of riot in America, are also responsible for much anxiety and confusion of mind in this city and elsewhere on this side of the At lantie. The interest shown by Americans resident abroad has been very great and every place where information is to
 be had has been crowded from early morning till late at night English men also have interested themselves far more in this than in any former election. The question of correct information has { therefore been very important one and the reports of the United Press as published here by the Central News have been heartily com mended for their accuracy and consistency throughout The first dispatch from this source on Tuesday evening announced MT. Cleveland's election as almost certain and as soon as a sufficient number of returns were obtainable this prediction was followed by the positive announcement. Reuter- s despatches emanating from the Associated Press declared Blaipes election from the start and declined to admit Cleve1and's victory until this afternoon Meanwhile the United Press received the singular and perhaps un- precedented compliment of having copies of it's final despatch to the Central News to-day posted in the library and smoking rooms of the House of Commons as follows:
 Jay Gould congratuates Cleveland on his cleo tion to the presidency
 This was universally accepted as settling all doubt, and anxious enquiries to the re- suit of the election gave place to animated comments upon the probable effect of the change of parties in the United States. The haste of the noted fnancier to abandon the protege for whom he had so zealously labored and to salute the winning man was the source of good deal of sarcastic comment, but it was admitted that the telegram would as MT. Gould had doubtless intended, have favor able influence upon the stock market. The prevailing sentiment was aptly expressed by one of the younger members of the House, who, seeing the bulletin, exclaimed:
 'twhen the devil was sick the devil a monk would be;
 When the devil got we'll the devil monk he. 5 The numerous inquiries as to the election which continue to be made at the American Exchange and the various newspaper offices are now mainly confined to the question of the official announcement of the result as the myriad of bets upon both sides cannot be liquidated until this is decided

The Excitement In BaltimOre-A
 Number of Petty Squabbles Without
 Any Serious Result.
 BALTIMORE, Nov. 7.-The Monumental city is abandoned to the excitement and hilarity incident to the presidential election. Busi- ness and work are scarcely thought of. The streets are and have been all day blockaded by crowd as large almost as that of the previous days since the election. To add to the din the small boy is out in full force with his tin horn. Petty squabbles are numerous, but nothing of serious character has oe- cured. This afternoon crowd of negroes paraded up Eutaw street and when passing a gang of street sweepers cheered for Blaine. The scavengers immediately charged upon the eo1ored men with their hickory brooms and the latter scattered in all direc- tions. Four of the street cleaners were arrested and locked up. An eveAt that caused much amusement occurred this evening, It was mock funeral, the sub ject being an efigy of Mir. Blaine. His hands were covered with white gloves and the body was wrapped in bloody shirt. The .'corpse" lying upon stretcher borne by four able-bodied men who wore crape on their hats and arms. Pinned to the body was placard with the following inscription:

Meet to- morrow night throughout the country and express your opinions in manner that can not be misunderstood.

BARNUM, Chairman National Democratic Committee.

 Congratulations Pouring In On CIeve-
 land.
 ALBANY, Nov. 7-Governor Cleveland spent most of the day at the executive cham Der receiving the calls and congratulations of friends. Over one thousand persons shook him by the hand and rendered the feIicita- tions on the result. He received all courteously. A salute will be fired at noon tomorrow and 6 mass meeting is to be held in the evening. A grand parade will be held Monday eyen- ing, when the President-elect will be sere- naded at the executive mansion. He will respond in @ brief speech. Congratulatory telegrams have been received from all parts of the country and are still pouring In. All here feel confident and certain that a fair count will insure Democratic triumph.
 Parading stopPed in Brooklyn.
 BROOKLYN, Nov. "A number of the Cleveland organizations met in their head quarters in the different wards of the city tonight and arranged to parade with brooms and torches. Mayor Low fearing trouble re- quested Acting Superintendent Murphy to stop all paraders on the streets wheth- CT the organizations had permits or not. The Cleveland men when in- formed of the Mayors order were much annoyed, but declared they could not stop their cheering and accordingly made the streets ring during the evening with their campaign songs and cheers for their candi- ducted the Republican campaign in Kings county, was at the headquarters to- night and said he still felt confident from all he could learn that Blaine was elected.

Wild Excitement i'm Chicago = The
 Streets Blocked With Anxious and
 Excited ThrOngs.
 CHICAGO, Nov. 7.-Politica1 excitement has been at fever heat throughout the day. About noon the throngs around the news paper offices were so dense that Mayor Harri- son personally visited each paper and re- quested that the displaying of bulletins be discontinued. This was universally complied with, but did not have the effect of dispensing the crowds and thousand stood for hours awaiting the printing of extras. Tonight a score of processions aggregating perhaps thirty-fve thousand people are going through the streets in the business center with trumpets for instru- ments, barrels for drums and cheering wild ly for Cleveland and Hendricks and shouting in unison "No '76." Dispatches from the West report general Demo cratic jubilations. Returns from this State are coming in slowly and members of the Democratic State committee are without data upon which to give an estimate of the probable Republican plurali- ty. Returns from Illinois on the vote for President have been received from all coun- ties in the State except seven and show that Blaine has plurality of 22,3 375. In 1880 Garfield had a plurality of 1 ,249 in the counties which have not yet reported. This indicates that Mir. Blaine will have 23, 900. The returns on Governor are by no means complete, but Oglesby will have about 5,00C plurality. Harrisgn's private secretary claims his election, but will give no figures.

When the firing began there were less than five hundred people present, but the boom of the canron soon drew a crowd of at least seven thousand. Simulta- neously with the firing of the first gun the following despatch was put on the wires: President-elect Grover Cleveland, Al bany, N. Y.

 The season is nigh when it is the yearly wont of this people to observe day appoint ed for that purpose by the President as special occasion for thanksgiving unto God. Now, therefore, in recognition of this hal lowed custom, I, Chester A. Arthur, Presi- dent of the United States, do hereby designate as such day of general thanks giving Thursday, the 27th day of this present November. And do recommend that throughout the land the people, ceasing from their accustomed occupations, do then keep holiday at their several homes and their several places of worship and with he artand voice pay reverent acknowledgment to the Giver of all good for the countless blessings wherewith he hath visited this nation.
 In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and cause the seal of the United States to be affixed.
 Done at the city of Washington, this sev- enth day of November in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eight ty- four and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and ninth. CHESTER A. ARTHUR

Dr. Zink, the physician who was so nearly killed by brutal assault some weeks ago, is reported as about to move for a reduction in the bail of David Beaudet, his coachman, who is confined in jail awaiting trial for the assault. Dr. Zink and his wife, with many of their neighbors, believe Baudet innocent of the crime with which he is charged.
