dental affair. This access of interest may be
dne to the fact that the Independent voter and
the Australian ballot system have combined to
make elections more uncertain than they once
were. As the supreme local dissemination OF

President Harrison will, as has been presi-
deutial custom for some years past, receive the
news at the White House. The Western Union
Company and the press associations will supply
him with all they know, and for this purpose q
special loop was put in this morning. The
White House always has direct communication
with the Western Union office but an extra
wire is needed on such occasions, because the
regular wire is fully occupied with special dis
patches from private sources MIR. B. +. Mont
gomery and Mr. Cox Of the executive clerical
force will attend to the saunders at the Presi-
dents ends of the wires
Secretary Blaine will also stay at home to get
the facts. He, too, has had q special wire run
in. He needs special. because the regular
wire will be busy with private messages.
Other members OF the cabinet who may be
in town tonight will be amply supplied with all
possible information. On such occasions the
companies and news associations are
more than ordinarily courteuos.
