THE ELECTION NEWS ABROAD.
Deep Interest Felt in London-American
Securities Strengthened.


LONDON, Oct. 16.-The Americans in Lon
don were intensely interested on Tuesday
night and Wednesday morning over the result
of the Ohio election, and the cable news Office
and the American Exchanges were besieged
by anxious inquirers. The result, however,
had been very generally discounted, and out
little betting was inaulged in. The news of
the Republican victory in Ohio was wei re-
ceived in business circles, and there is an in
creased belief in the success of Blaine in the
Presidential election. The effect on th @ Stock
Exchange was to strengthen American seeuri-
ties throughout the line, and to send up the
quotations by few points on the leading
securities. Minister Lowell manifested great
interest in the elections, and arranged for
special dispatches to be sent 20 him BY CABLE
He entertained select circle of Americans at
his residence in the members mansion and
the dispatches which he received during the
evening were read out to his guests. 1t was
not, however, until after the guests had de-
parted and Mr.. Lowell had retired for the
night that he received any decisive estimate
from Ohio. Then he was reused out of bed to
learn that Ohio had surely gone Republican,
and ho replied by copgrstulatory dispatch.
