THE BULLETIN SERVICE.
The Associated Press Western Union
bulletin service for the last day Of the con-
vention, and especially the announcement
Of the denomination Of Benjamin Harrison
for President Of the United States, was
phenomenal, and probably has never before
been equalled. Bulletins announcing the
denomination were received and posted at
all telegraph points in America within less
than five minutes, most of them within two
minutes The far-off Pacific coast knew
the result within two minutes after the
facts were reported, and even quicker was
the service to the east, New York having
received the news inside of sixty
seconds Equally phenomenal was the
speed of transmission across the
ocean, the news taking only one
and one half minutes to reach London. In
most sections there was practically no
competition no other bulletin being received
at W ashington. Other sections reported
the competition as being some ten minutes
behind the Associated Press. This speedy
bulletin service is in keeping with all Of the
work done during the convention, for
which every preparation had been made to
handle the convention reports properly.
Expert telegraphers crushed" things, and
all of the Western Union wires were
patrolled by linemen between Minpe-
aDos and Chicago and Omaha and other
leading points during the convention day
and night on all important routes. On
one route to Chicago ten wires went down
at II 30 o'clock Tuesday night and were re-
stored and placed In working condition
within one hour after the break. The spe-
cial news service done during this conven-
ton exceeded that at either of the conven-
tions four years ago. AT these conventions
the largest amount of special service in any
one day was 395, 900 words, while the great
est single day service from this city was
422, 900. This is exclusive of the regular
Associated Press reports.
LONDON NEWSPAPER COMMENTS.
LONDON, June 1.-THE burden of the
comments of all the evening papers on the
denomination of President Harrison and the
selection of Whitelaw Reid as the repub-
lican candidate for Vice President is Joy
over the defeat of Mr.. Blaine.
The PdH Mall Gazette says: "Even those
least in sympathy with Mr.. Blaine as q
politician may spare passing regret at the
cruel disappointment of the man who is the
ablest republican and the most astute poll
tician in the United States"
The Globe says:s ''For once the American
caucus was Of interest to outsiders, espeo-
ially England. In view of the dissension
in the Democratic party, the nominee of
yesterday stands good chance of being
President. II was happy thing that the
caucus decided erwhelmingly against the
great wire -puller, whose entire career has
been marked by attempts to make party
capital out OF foreign politics." The Globe
then relates at length Mr.. Blaine's acts of
hostility toward England, as shown in the
Chilean affair, the Bering sea question, the
Newfoundland matter, etc.. and adds:
Even as it was, President Harrison some-
times had a difficult task to check mis-
chiefn
AN AMUSING ESTIMATE OF HARRISON.
The Star publishes a most violent attack
On Mr.. Blaine because Of his protection
principles, and sums up its estimate of Pres
ldent Harrison's qualifications by declaring
that he is "a quiet. unassuming old gentle
man Of great personal integrity. but with
out great ability" 1t then predicts the
nomination of Grover Cleveland by the
democrats, and concludes by saying: 1.-THE

matter OF indifference to Englishmen which
